ONE:��And what does the court of Cüstrin do? It orders the mill to be sold, that the nobleman may have his rent! Go you, sir,�� addressing the grand chancellor, ��about your business, this instant. Your successor is appointed; with you I have nothing more to do.�� The other three were assailed in the same way, but still more vehemently, as the king��s wrath flamed higher and higher. ��Out of my sight,�� he exclaimed at last; ��I will make an example of you which shall be remembered.��Frederick was overjoyed. He regarded the day as his own, and the Russian army as at his mercy. He sent a dispatch to anxious Berlin, but sixty miles distant: ��The Russians are beaten. Rejoice with me.�� It was one of the hottest of August days, without a breath of wind. Nearly every soldier of the Prussian army had been brought into action against the left wing only of the foe. After a long march and an exhausting fight, they were perishing with thirst. For twelve hours many of them had been without water. Panting with heat, thirst, and exhaustion, they were scarcely capable of any farther efforts. TWO:The Czarina, Anne of Russia, died the 28th of October, 1740,240 just eight days after the death of the emperor. She left, in the cradle, the infant Czar Iwan, her nephew, two months old. The father of this child was a brother of Frederick��s neglected wife Elizabeth. The mother was the Russian Princess Catharine of Mecklenburg, now called Princess Anne, whom Frederick had at one time thought of applying for as his wife. Russia was a semi-barbaric realm just emerging into consideration, and no one could tell by what influences it would be swayed. The minor powers could be controlled by the greater��constrained by terror or led by bribes. Such, in general, was the state of Europe at this time.THREE:The authorship of the article could not be concealed. Frederick was indignant. He angrily seized his pen, and wrote a reply, which, though anonymous, was known by all to have been written by the king. In this reply he accused the writer of the article, whom he well knew to be Voltaire, of being a ��manifest retailer of lies,�� ��a concocter of stupid libels,�� and as ��guilty of conduct more malicious, more dastardly, more infamous�� than he had ever known before.
