chosen Kur-Mainz,--that too turned out ill: and perhaps, in the
course of the next few months, we shall judge that, had Ostein
leant AGAINST Austria, it had been better for Austria and Ostein.
Of the Pragmatic Army, silence henceforth, rather than speech!--

One thing we have to mark, his Britannic Majesty, commander of such
an Army,--and of such a Purse, which is still more stupendous,--has
risen, in the Gazetteer estimate and his own, to a high pitch of
importance. To be Supreme Jove of Teutschland, in a manner; and
acts, for the present Summer, in that sublime capacity.
Two Diplomatic feats of his,--one a Treaty done and tumbled down
again, the other a Treaty done and let stand ("Treaty of Worms,"
and "Conferences," or NON-Treaty "of Hanau"),--are of moment in
this History and that of the then World. Of these two Transactions,
due both of them to such an Army and such a Purse, we shall have to
take some notice by and by; the rest shall belong to Night and her
leaden sceptre--much good may they do her!

Some ten days after Dettingen, Broglio (who was crackling off from
Donauwurth, in view of the Lines of Schellenberg, that very 27th of
June) ended his retreat to the Rhine Countries; "glorious," though
rather swift, and eaten into by the Tolpatcheries of Prince Karl.
"July 8th, at Wimpfen" (in the Neckar Region, some way South of
Dettingen), Broglio delivers his troops to Marechal de Noailles's
care; and, next morning, rushes off towards Strasburg, and quiet
Official life, as Governor there.

"The day after his arrival," says Friedrich, "he gave a grand ball
in Strasburg:" [ OEuvres de Frederic,
iii. 10.] "Behold your conquering hero safe again, my friends!"
