go into Lacy,--which
will certainly bring Daun back, even better.

"This evening, accordingly, Ziethen occupies Bautzen; sweeps out certain
Lacy precursors, cavalry in some strength, who are there. Lacy has come
on as far as Bischofswerda: and his Horse-people seem to be wide ahead;
provokingly pert upon Friedrich's outposts, who determines to chastise
them the first thing to-morrow. To-morrow, as is very needful, is to be
a rest-day otherwise. For Friedrich's wearied people a rest-day; not at
all for Daun's, who continues his heavy-footed galloping yet another day
and another, till he get across the Queiss, and actually reach Silesia."

MONDAY, JULY 7th. "Rest-day accordingly, in Bautzen neighborhood;
nothing passing but a curious Skirmish of Horse,--in which Friedrich,
who had gone westward reconnoitring, seeking Lacy, had the main share,
and was notably situated for some time. Godau, a small town or village,
six miles west of Bautzen, was the scene of this notable passage:
actors in it were Friedrich himself, on the Prussian part; and, on the
Austrian, by degrees Lacy's Cavalry almost in whole. Lacy's Cavalry,
what Friedrich does not know, are all in those neighborhoods: and
no sooner is Godau swept clear of them, than they return in greater
numbers, needing to be again swept; and, in fact, they gradually
gather in upon him, in a singular and dangerous manner, after his first
successes on them, and before his Infantry have time to get up and
support.

"Friedrich was too impatient in this provoking little haggle, arresting
him here. He had ordered on the suitable Battalion with cannon; but
hardly considers that the Battalion itself is six miles off,--not
to speak of the Order, which is galloping on horseback, not going by
electricity:--the impatient Friedrich had slashed in at once upon Godau,
taken above 100 prisoners; but is astonished to see the slashed
people return, with Saxon-Dragoon regiments, all manner of regiments,
reinforcing them. And has some really dangerous fencing there;--issuing
in dangerous and curious pause of both parties; who stand drawn up,
scarcely beyond pistol-shot, and gazing into one another, for I know
not how many minutes; neither of them daring to move off, lest, on the
instant of turning, it be charged and overwhelmed. As the impatient
Friedrich, at last, almost was,--had not his Infantry just then got in,
and given their cannon-salvo. He lost about 200, the Lacy people hardly
so man
