"Poor Kaiser Karl had left AugsburgJune 26th, --while his Broglio was ferrying at Donauworth, and hisSeckendorf treatying for Armistice at Nieder-Schonfeld, --the very daybefore Dettingen. What a piece of news to him, that Dettingen, on hisreturn to Frankfurt! "A few days after Dettingen, July 3d, Noailles, who is still withincall, came across to see this poor stepson of Fortune; gives piteousaccount of him, if any one were now curious on that head: How hebitte...rly complains of Broglio, of the no-subsidies sent, and is drivennearly desperate;--not a penny in his pocket, beyond all. Upon whichlatter clause Noailles munificently advanced him a $6, 000. 'Draughtof 40, 000 crowns, in my own name; which doubtless the King, in hiscompassion, will see good to sanction. ' [_Campagnes de Noailles_(Amsterdam, 1760: this is a Sequel, or rather VICE VERSA, to that whichwe have called DES TROIS MARECHAUX, being of the same Collection), i. 316-328. ] His feelings on the loss of Dettingen may be pictured.
