KING. "'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. [Supra, vii. 165.]--
