D'Ahremberg, having 20,000 under him, would not quit Eger for
Moritz; but pushed out Croats upon him, and sat still. This, it was
afterwards surmised, had been a feint on Friedrich's part; to give
the Austrians pleasant thoughts: 'Invading us, is he? Would fain
invade us, but cannot!' Moritz fell back from Eger; and was ready
to join the King's march, (at Linay, April 23d' (third day from
Lockwitz, on the King's part). Onwards from which point the Columns
are specifically Three; in strength, and on routes, somewhat

1. "The FIRST Column, or King's,--which is 60,000 after this
junction, 45,000 foot, 15,000 horse,--quitted Lockwitz (head-
quarter for a month past), WEDNESDAY, APRIL 20TH. They go by the
Pascopol and other roads; through Pirna, for one place:
through Karbitz, Aussig, are at Linay on the 23d; where Moritz
joins: 24th, in the united state, forward again (leave Lobositz two
miles to left); to Trebnitz, 25th, and rest there one day.

"At Aussig an unfortunate thing befell. Zastrow, respectable old
General Zastrow, was to drive the Austrians out of Aussig:
Zastrow does it, April 22d-23d, drives them well over the heights;
April 25th, however, marching forward towards Lobositz, Zastrow is
shot through both temples (Pandour hid among the bushes and cliffs,
OTHER side of Elbe), and falls dead on the spot. Buried in
GOTTLEUBE Kirk, 1st May."

In these Aussig affairs, especially in recapturing the Castle of
Tetschen near by, Colonel Mayer, father of the new "Free-Corps,"
did shining service;--and was approved of, he and they. And, a day
or two after, was detached with a Fifteen Hundred of that kind, on
