-- SMALL-WAR: FIRST EMERGENCE OF ZIETHEN THE HUSSAR.
GENERAL INTO NOTICE.
After Brieg, Friedrich undertook nothing military, except strict vigilance of Neipperg, for a couple of months or more.

Military, especially offensive operations, are not the methods just now.

Rest on your oars; see how this seething Ocean of European Politics, and Peace or War, will settle itself into currents, into set winds; by which of them a man may steer, who happens to have a fixed port in view.
Neipperg, too, is glad to be quiescent; "my Infantry hopelessly inferior," he writes to head-quarters: "Could not one hire 10,000 Saxons, think you,"-- or do several other chimerical things, for help?
Except with his Pandour people, working what mischief they can, Neipperg does nothing.

But this Hungarian rabble is extensively industrious, scouring the country far and wide; and gives a great deal of trouble both to Friedrich and the peaceable inhabitants.
