kind.]--The wits say of him, "He would be Kaiser or Nothing: see
you, he is Kaiser and Nothing!" [ "Aut nihil aut Caesar,
Bavarus Dux esse volebat; Et nihil et Caesar factus utrumque
simul." (Barbier, ii. 322.)] ...

AUGUST 19th-SEPTEMBER 14th. "Comte de Saxe is on march, from
Deggendorf; north bank of the Donau, by narrow mountain roads;
then crosses the Donau to south bank, and a plain country;--making
large circuit, keeping the River on his right,--to meet Maillebois
at Amberg; his force, some 10 or 12,000 men. Seckendorf, now
Bavarian Commander-in-chief, accompanies Saxe; with considerable
Bavarian force, guess 20,000, 'marching always on the left.'
Accompanies; but only to Regensburg, to Stadt-am-Hof, a Suburb of
Regensburg, where they cross the Donau again."--SUBURB of
Regensburg, mark that; Regensburg itself being a Reichs-Stadt, very
particularly sacred from War;--the very Reichs-DIET commonly
sitting here; though it has gone to Frankfurt lately, to be with
its Kaiser, and out of these continual trumpetings and tumults
close by. [Went 10th May, 1742,--after three months' arguing and
protesting on the Austrian part (Adelung, iii. A, 102, 138).]--
"At Regensburg, once across, Seckendorf with his Bavarians calls
halt; plants himself down in Kelheim, Ingolstadt, and the safe
Garrisons thereabouts,--calculates that, if Khevenhuller should be
called away Prag-ward, there may be a stroke do-able in these
parts. Saxe marches on; straight northward now, up the Valley of
the Naab; obliged to be a good deal on his guard. Mischievous
Tolpatcheries and Trencks, ever since he crossed the Donau again,
have escorted him, to right, as close as they durst; dashing out
sometimes on the magazines." One of the exploits they had done,
take only one:--in their road TOWARDS Saxe, a few days ago:--
