A glorious Werner! A beautiful defence, and ditto rescue; which has drawn the world's attention." [Seyfarth, ii.
634; Archenholtz, ii.

116: in _Helden-Geschichte,_ (vi.

73-83), TAGEBUCH of Siege.] Heyde's defence of Colberg, Werner's swift rescue of it, are very celebrated this Autumn.

Medals were struck in honor of them at Berlin, not at Friedrich's expense, but under Friedrich's patronage; who purchased silver or gold copies, and gave them about.

Veteran Heyde had a Letter from his Majesty, and one of these gold Medals;--what an honor! I do not hear that Heyde got any other reward, or that he needed any.
A beautiful old Hero, voiceless in History; though very visible in that remote sphere, if you care to look.
That is the news from Colberg; comfortable to Friedrich; not likely to inspire Soltikof with new alacrity in behalf of Daun.
