CHAPTER IX .-- FRIEDRICH MARCHES FOR SILESIA.
The fame of Friedrich is high enough again in the Gazetteer world; all people, and the French themselves, laughing at their grandiloquent Dauphiness-Bellona, and writing epigrams on Soubise.

But Friedrich's difficulties are still enormous.

One enemy coming with open mouth, you plunge in upon, and ruin, on this hand; and it only gives you room to attempt upon another bigger one on that.

Soubise he has finished handsomely, for this season; but now he must try conclusions with Prince Karl.

Quick, towards Silesia, after this glorious Victory which the Gazetteers are celebrating.
The news out of Silesia are ominously doubtful, bad at the best.
