While Gustavus Adolphus thus maintained his sujseri- ority within the empire, fortune, in another quarter, had been no less favorable to his ally, the Elector of Saxony. By the arrangement concerted between these princes at Halle, after the battle of Leipzig, the conquest of Bohemia was intrusted to the Elector of Saxony, while the king- reserved for himself the attack upon the territories of the League. The first fruits which the Elector reaped from the battle of Breitenfeld, was the reconques...t of Leipzig, which was shortly followed by the expulsion of the Aus- trian garrisons from the entire circle. Reinforced by the troops who deserted to him from the hostile garrisons, the Saxon General, Arnheim, marched towards Lusatia, which had been overrun by an Imperial general, Rudolph von Tiefenbach, in order to chastise the Elector for em- bracing the cause of the enemy. He had already com- menced in this weakly defended province the usual course of devastation, taken several towns, and terrified Dresden itself by his approach, when his destructive progress was suddenly stopped by an express mandate from the Em- peror to spare the possessions of the King of Saxony.
