Marching rapidly through Liegnitz and Hohenfriedberg, he reached Frankfort-on-the-Oder on Sunday, the 20th of August. He was now within twenty miles of Cüstrin, and the bombardment by the heavy siege guns of the Russians could be distinctly heard. Frederick took lodgings at the house of a clergyman��s widow. Frequently he arose and went out of doors, listening impatiently to the cannonade.

The population of Prussia had diminished, during the seven years, five hundred thousand.In return, Voltaire compliments the king very profusely.
