History of Friedrich II. of Prussia
Vol. XII. (of XXI.)

CHAPTER V
7/13

His Majesty will have to settle it." Majesty, who is by this time not far off, comes over to Ottmachau (January 12th); gives words of rebuke, rebuke not very inexorable; and admits them Prisoners of War.

"The officers were sent to Custrin, common men to Berlin;" the usual arrangement in such case.

Ottmachau Town belongs to the Right Reverend von Sinzendorf, Bishop of Breslau, and Primate; whose especial Palace is in Neisse; though he "commonly sends his refractory Priests to do their penance in the Schloss at Ottmachau here,"-- and, I should say, had better himself make terms, and come out hitherward, under present aspects.
Friedrich continues at Ottmachau; head-quarters there thenceforth, till he see Neisse settled.

On the morrow, (13th) he learns that the Siege Artillery is at Grotkau; well forward towards Neisse; halfway between Brieg and it.

Same day, Colonel Camas returns to him out of Glatz; five of his men lost; and reports That Browne has had the roads torn up, that Glatz is mere ice and obstruction, and that nothing can be made of it at this season.
