The Prince of Wied left on September 3rd. And the former insurgents wrote and begged him to return. Essad Pasha then arrived at Durazzo, and was publicly embraced by Alliotti the Italian. Most of the International Commission left. Krajevsky remained, and with the aid of French money tried to establish Essad as Prince in vain.
An artificial creation with unnatural boundaries, it is a grave question whether this so-called state can either manage its own affairs or live in peace with its Serb and Greek neighbors. If Prince William of Wied is unable to cope with these difficulties, Italy and Austria-Hungary may think it necessary to intervene in Albania.
This of the 500 Cossacks under Wied, if this were anything, was all of actual work that Friedrich had from his Czernichef Allies; nothing more of real or actual while they stayed, though something of imaginary or ostensible which had its importance, as we shall see. Friedrich, in the third week, recalls Wied: "Braunau clearly impossible; only let us still keep up appearances!"
July 18th, Wied is in Kunzendorf Country again; on an important new enterprise, or method with the Daun Problem, in which Wied is to bear a principal hand. That is to say, The discomfiture and overturn of Daun's right wing, if we can, since his left has proved impossible. This was the STORMING OF BURKERSDORF HEIGHTS; Friedrich's new plan.
An Italian force marched up from Avlona to Durazzo to protect them, and Essad Pasha, a pro-Entente Albanian who had established a principality of his own on the fall of the Prince of Wied, rendered useful assistance.
At Durazzo he had been received by Essad Pacha, who was delighted to have his piano played, and to watch the hammers working inside. Like Helen's babies, "he wanted to see the wheels go wound." The piano and piles of music must have been a memento of the Prince and Princess of Wied and of their unhappy attempts at being Mpret and Mpretess or is it Mpretitza, or Mpretina?
'Not he this time, cried the two new-comers, emerging from the foliage. 'He's safe under Cologne the worse for all good men who live there! But come! follow to the Rhine! there 's work for us on the yonder side, and sharp work. 'Why, answered several, 'we 've our challenge with the lads of Leutesdorf and Wied to-day.
These characteristics are so remarkable as fully to justify the conjecture that the mosquito, and not the ordinary fly, constituted the plague inflicted upon Pharaoh and the Egyptians. Wied. In Kandy Mr. "Divers sorts of flies," Ps. cv. 31; and in another, "swarms of flies," Exod. viii. 21, &c., means merely "an assemblage." a "mixture" or a "swarm," and the expletive.
Of the Attack itself we propose to say almost nothing. It consists of Two Parts, Wied and Mollendorf, which are intensely Real; and of a great many more which are Scenic chiefly, some of them Scenic to the degree of Drury-Lane itself, as we perceive; all cunningly devised, and beautifully playing into one another, both the real and the scenic.
The great powers simply took a map, drew a certain line on it and said, "This shall be the kingdom of Albania, and its king shall be Prince William of Wied." Again we have a king-made map with the usual trail of grievances. France and Russia did not like this program, but they did not feel like fighting the Triple Alliance to prevent its being put into effect.
