THREE:��At Potsdam I was lucky enough to see the king. He was on the esplanade drilling his troops. When the drill was over he went into the garden, and the soldiers dispersed. Four officers remained lounging on the esplanade. For fright, I knew not what to do; I drew the papers from my pocket. These were my memorial, two certificates of character, and a Thuringian pass. The officers, noticing this, came directly to me and said, ��What letters have you there?�� I thankfully imparted the whole. When the officers had read them, they said, ��We will give you good advice. The king is extra gracious to-day, and is gone alone into the garden. Follow him straight. You will have luck.��During the next three days the king suffered much from weakness and a violent cough. He was often heard murmuring prayers, and would say to those around him, ��Pray for me; pray for me.�� Several times he pathetically exclaimed, ��Lord, enter not into judgment with thy servant, for in thy sight shall no man living be justified.�� A favorite hymn was often sung to him containing the words, ��Naked came I into the world, and naked187 shall I go out of it.�� At this passage he repeatedly exclaimed, with much vivacity, as though it were an admirable joke, ��No, not quite naked; I shall have my uniform on.��

France was delighted, for Prussia was weakening Austria. England was alarmed. The weakening of Austria was strengthening France, England��s dreaded rival. And Hanover was menaced by the Prussian army at G?tten, under the Old Dessauer. The British Parliament voted an additional subsidy of ��300,000 to Maria Theresa. Two hundred thousand had already been granted her. This, in all, amounted to the sum of two million five hundred thousand dollars. Envoys from all the nations of Europe were sent to Frederick��s encampment at Strehlen, in the vicinity of Brieg. Some were sent seeking his alliance, some with terms of compromise, and all to watch his proceedings. The young king was not only acquiring the territory which he sought, but seemed to be gaining that renown which he had so eagerly coveted. He did not feel strong enough to make an immediate attack upon the Austrian army, which General Neipperg held, in an almost impregnable position, behind the ramparts of Neisse. For two months he remained at Strehlen, making vigorous preparations for future movements, and his mind much engrossed with diplomatic intrigues. Strehlen is a pretty little town, nestled among the hills, about twenty-five miles west of Brieg, and thirty northwest of Neisse. The troops were mainly encamped in tents on the fields around. The embassadors from the great monarchies of Europe were generally sumptuously lodged in Strehlen, or in Breslau, which was a beautiful city about thirty miles north of Strehlen. Baron Bielfeld in the following terms describes the luxury in which the Spanish minister indulged:
