At this time he carried a sure poison always with him, determined not to fall alive into the hands of his enemies. Then the powers of his mighty mind and astonishing vigor shone forth with full lustre. The people stood nobly by their heroic sovereign. Collecting 25,000 men out of his shattered battalions, he advanced against the Prince of Soubise, who, with an army of 60,000, was advancing through Thuringia, and totally defeated him on the memorable field of Rosbach, with the loss of 18,000 men.

The Austrians attacked in the night with such skill that the Prussians were thrown into confusion — driven from their ground with the loss of 150 pieces of cannon and 7,000 men. Though painfully wounded, after seeing his best Generals slain around him, Frederick rallied his troops at daybreak, formed them in good order behind the village where they had been surprised, led them a mile off, and offered battle to the enemy, who did not dare to accept it." In my next I shall give you the campaign of 1752--still more perilous — still more glorious — hoping that our Generals may be led to rival in activity and daring this "master in war," and our people to emulate the courage and endurance of the Prussians, may gather the stern resolve to die rather than submit, and read, too, how utterly impossible it is to conquer by numbers or skill a people determined to be free.

. At Pirna, after vain efforts to escape, 14,000 laid down their arms; the whole of Saxony submitted, and Frederick; throughout the whole war, thenceforward turned its entire resources to his own support. The allies made desperate efforts to regain the advantages they had lost. France put 100,000 men on foot, though bound for only 24,000. The Diet of Ratisbon put 60,000 troops of the Empire at the disposal of Austria. Frederick still preserved the ascendant.

conquered. To the Editors of the Dispatch: Thinking a brief account of the heroic exertions, indomitable skill; and final triumph of Frederick of Prussia, may be with advantage laid before our people at this time, and help to encourage us all in the unequal contest, I send you the following short summary drawn from "Allison's Life of Marlborough:" "Prussia was now threatened by the most formidable confederacy ever yet in modern times directed against a single State.

These allies had ninety millions of men in their dominions, and with ease could bring four hundred thousand to the field. Prussia had only six millions, who were strained to the utmost to array an army of one hundred and twenty thousand. Even with the aid of England and Hanover, not more than fifty thousand auxiliaries could be relied on. Prussia had neither strong fortresses like Flanders, nor mountain

He carried the war into the enemy's country, suddenly entered Saxony, made, himself master of Dresden, shut the forces of Saxony up in the entrenched camp at Pirna. Marshal Brown advanced with 60,000 men to relieve them. Frederick met and totally defeated him at Lowositz.

The English and Hanoverian army capitulated at Closter seven, and left the French army 60,000 strong to follow the Prussians. The French, and troops of the Emperor under Richelieu, menaced Magdeburg, where the Royal family of Prussia had taken refuge.

But it was Frederick's destiny to be ever surrounded with difficulties. from the immense numerical advantages of his enemies and the ill success of the Lieutenants to whom his subordinate armies were entrusted. During his operations in the South, the Russians had made alarming progress in the Northeast. The feeble Russian forces who opposed them were well nigh swallowed up. Frederick led the flower of his army from Olmutz, in Moravia; crossed all Silesia and Prussia, encountered the sturdy Russians at Zorndorf, and defeated them with a loss of 1 ,000--a victory dearly bought, with the loss of 10,000 of his own best soldiers.--During the King's absence, Prince Henry, who had been left with sixteen thousand men to keep atin in check, was nearly overwhelmed — the Austrians numbering fifty thousand men, under their able commander. Frederick flew back to his support. They took post at Hohenkerdrah; the post was unfavorable
