Lamentation and despair reigned in the camp at Lilienstein, and
there, at a window of the castle of Konigstein, stood the Prince-
Elector of Saxony, with his favorite Count Bruhl, witnesses to their
misery.
After these fearful humiliations, by which Frederick punished the
Saxons for their many intrigues, by which he revenged himself for
their obstinate, enmity, their proud superiority--after these
humiliations, after their complete defeat, the King of Prussia was
no longer opposed to the King of Saxony's journey. He sent him the
desired passports, he even extended their number, and not only sent
one to the king and to Count Bruhl, but also to the Countess Bruhl,
with the express command to accompany her husband. He also sent a
pass to Countess Ogliva, compelling this bigoted woman to leave her
mistress.
And when the queen again raised her cry of woe, to call her allies
to her aid, the King of Prussia answered her with the victorious
thunder of the battle of Losovitz, the first battle fought in this
war, and in which the Prussians, led by their king, performed
wonders of bravery, and defeated for the third time the tremendous
Austrian army, under the command of General Brown.
