It was remarked, he quitted Munchen in a day or two; preferring
Country Palaces still unruined,--for example, Wolnzach, a Schloss

the little Town of Mosburg; which, at any rate, is among the
Broglio-Seckendorf posts, and convenient for business. Broglio and

declared he could by no means assent, not having any order from
Paris of that tenor. The Kaiser thereupon: 'I give you my order for
it; I, by the Most Christian King's appointment, am Commander-in-
