"'Epidemic diseases they might have got without a Battle [dislikes hearing ill of the soldier trade].

I will have Order sent to the Cleve Kammer, Not to lay hindrance in your way, but the contrary.

Now God keep you (GOTT BEWAHRE IHN).'"-- EXIT Roden;--"DARAUF RETIRIRTE MICH," says he;--but will reappear shortly.
Sunday, 12th June, is the sixth day hence; later than the end of Sunday is not permissible to swift Roden; nor does he need it.
Friday, 10th, Friedrich left Wesel; crossed the Rhine, intending for Cleve; went by CREFELD,--at Crefeld had view of another BATTLE-FIELD, under good ciceroneship; remarks or circumstances otherwise not given:--and, next day, Saturday, 11th, picked up D'Alembert, who, by appointment, is proceeding towards Potsdam, at a more leisurely rate.
That same Saturday, after much business done, the King was at Kempen, thence at Geldern; speeding for Cleve itself, due there that night.

At Geldern, we say, he picked up D'Alembert;--concerning whom, more by and by.

And finally, "on Saturday night, about half-past 8, the King entered Cleve," amid joyances extraordinary, hut did not alight; drove direct through by the Nassau Gate, and took quarter "in the neighboring Country-house of Bellevue, with the Dutch General von Spaen there,"-- an obliging acquaintance once, while LIEUTENANT Spaen, in our old Crown-Prince times of trouble! Had his year in Spandau for us there, while poor Katte lost his head! To whom, I have heard, the King talked charmingly on this occasion, but was silent as to old Potsdam matters.
