With such a result, too; consider it,--drawn sword was at our throat; and marvellously now it is turned round upon his (if Daun be alert), and we--let us rejoice to all lengths, and sing TE-DEUM and TE-DAUNUM with one throat, till the Heavens echo again.
There was quite a hurricane, or lengthened storm, of jubilation and tripudiation raised at Vienna on this victory: New ORDER OF MARIA THERESA, in suitable Olympian fashion, with no end of regulating and inaugurating,--with Daun the first Chief of it; and "Pensions to Merit" a conspicuous part of the plan, we are glad to see.

It subsists to this day: the grandest Military Order the Austrians yet have.

Which then deafened the world, with its infinite solemnities, patentings, discoursings, trumpetings, for a good while.

As was natural, surely, to that high Imperial Lady with the magnanimous heart; to that loyal solid Austrian People with its pudding-head.

Daun is at the top of the Theresa Order, and of military renown in Vienna circles;--of Lieutenant-Colonel Benkendorf I never heard that he got the least pension or recognition;--continued quietly a military lion to discerning men, for the rest of his days.
