Torstensohn，toogreatlydisabledbyhisvictorytopursuetheenemy，moveduponLeipzig。ThedefeatedarmyretiredintoBohemia，whereitsshatteredregimentsreassembled。TheArchdukeLeopoldcouldnotrecoverfromthevexationcausedbythisdefeat；
andtheregimentofcavalrywhich，byitsprematureflight，hadoccasionedthedisaster，experiencedtheeffectsofhisindignation。
AtRaconitzinBohemia，inpresenceofthewholearmy，hepubliclydeclareditinfamous，depriveditofitshorses，arms，andensigns，ordereditsstandardstobetorn，condemnedtodeathseveraloftheofficers，anddecimatedtheprivates。
ThesurrenderofLeipzig，threeweeksafterthebattle，wasitsbrilliantresult。ThecitywasobligedtoclothetheSwedishtroopsanew，andtopurchaseanexemptionfromplunder，byacontributionof300，000rix-dollars，towhichalltheforeignmerchants，whohadwarehousesinthecity，weretofurnishtheirquota。
Inthemiddleofwinter，TorstensohnadvancedagainstFreyberg，andforseveralweeksdefiedtheinclemencyoftheseason，hopingbyhisperseverancetowearyouttheobstinacyofthebesieged。
Buthefoundthathewasmerelysacrificingthelivesofhissoldiers；
andatlast，theapproachoftheimperialgeneral，Piccolomini，compelledhim，withhisweakenedarmy，toretire。Heconsideredit，however，asequivalenttoavictory，tohavedisturbedthereposeoftheenemyintheirwinterquarters，who，bytheseverityoftheweather，sustainedalossof3000horses。HenowmadeamovementtowardstheOder，asifwiththeviewofreinforcinghimselfwiththegarrisonsofPomeraniaandSilesia；but，withtherapidityoflightning，heagainappearedupontheBohemianfrontier，penetratedthroughthatkingdom，andrelievedOlmutzinMoravia，whichwashardpressedbytheImperialists。
HiscampatDobitschau，twomilesfromOlmutz，commandedthewholeofMoravia，onwhichheleviedheavycontributions，andcarriedhisravagesalmosttothegatesofVienna。InvaindidtheEmperorattempttoarmtheHungariannobilityindefenceofthisprovince；
theyappealedtotheirprivileges，andrefusedtoservebeyondthelimitsoftheirowncountry。Thus，thetimethatshouldhavebeenspentinactiveresistance，waslostinfruitlessnegociation，andtheentireprovincewasabandonedtotheravagesoftheSwedes。
WhileTorstensohn，byhismarchesandhisvictories，astonishedfriendandfoe，thearmiesoftheallieshadnotbeeninactiveinotherpartsoftheempire。ThetroopsofHesse，underCountEberstein，andthoseofWeimar，underMareschaldeGuebriant，hadfallenintotheElectorateofCologne，inordertotakeuptheirwinterquartersthere。
Togetridofthesetroublesomeguests，theElectorcalledtohisassistancetheimperialgeneralHatzfeldt，andassembledhisowntroopsunderGeneralLamboy。ThelatterwasattackedbythealliesinJanuary，1642，andinadecisiveactionnearKempen，defeated，withthelossofabout2000menkilled，andabouttwiceasmanyprisoners。
ThisimportantvictoryopenedtothemthewholeElectorateandneighbouringterritories，sothattheallieswerenotonlyenabledtomaintaintheirwinterquartersthere，butdrewfromthecountrylargesuppliesofmenandhorses。
GuebriantlefttheHessianstodefendtheirconquestsontheLowerRhineagainstHatzfeldt，andadvancedtowardsThuringia，asiftosecondtheoperationsofTorstensohninSaxony。ButinsteadofjoiningtheSwedes，hesoonhurriedbacktotheRhineandtheMaine，fromwhichheseemedtothinkhehadremovedfartherthanwasexpedient。ButbeinganticipatedintheMargraviateofBaden，bytheBavariansunderMercyandJohndeWerth，hewasobligedtowanderaboutforseveralweeks，exposed，withoutshelter，totheinclemencyofthewinter，andgenerallyencampinguponthesnow，tillhefoundamiserablerefugeinBreisgau。Heatlasttookthefield；
and，inthenextsummer，bykeepingtheBavarianarmyemployedinSuabia，preventeditfromrelievingThionville，whichwasbesiegedbyConde。
ButthesuperiorityoftheenemysoondrovehimbacktoAlsace，whereheawaitedareinforcement。

ButMazarin，theinheritor，notonlyofRichelieu’spower，butalsoofhisprinciplesandhisprojects，followedoutwithrenewedzealtheplansofhispredecessor，thoughtheFrenchsubjectwasdestinedtopaydearlyenoughforthepoliticalgreatnessofhiscountry。
Themainstrengthofitsarmies，whichRichelieuhademployedagainsttheSpaniards，wasbyMazarindirectedagainsttheEmperor；
andtheanxietywithwhichhecarriedonthewarinGermany，provedthesincerityofhisopinion，thattheGermanarmywastherightarmofhisking，andawallofsafetyaroundFrance。

GuebriantnowfelthimselfstrongenoughtoappearagaininGermanywithrepute。HehastenedacrosstheRhinewiththeviewofprocuringbetterwinterquartersinSuabia，andactuallymadehimselfmasterofRothweil，whereaBavarianmagazinefellintohishands。
Buttheplacewastoodearlypurchasedforitsworth，andwasagainlostevenmorespeedilythanithadbeentaken。Guebriantreceivedawoundinthearm，whichthesurgeon’sunskilfulnessrenderedmortal，andtheextentofhislosswasfeltontheverydayofhisdeath。
TheFrencharmy，sensiblyweakenedbyanexpeditionundertakenatsosevereaseasonoftheyear，had，afterthetakingofRothweil，withdrawnintotheneighbourhoodofDuttlingen，whereitlayincompletesecurity，withoutexpectationofahostileattack。
Inthemeantime，theenemycollectedaconsiderableforce，withaviewtopreventtheFrenchfromestablishingthemselvesbeyondtheRhineandsoneartoBavaria，andtoprotectthatquarterfromtheirravages。
TheImperialists，underHatzfeldt，hadformedajunctionwiththeBavariansunderMercy；andtheDukeofLorraine，who，duringthewholecourseofthewar，wasgenerallyfoundeverywhereexceptinhisownduchy，joinedtheirunitedforces。
ItwasresolvedtoforcethequartersoftheFrenchinDuttlingen，andtheneighbouringvillages，bysurprise；afavouritemodeofproceedinginthiswar，andwhich，beingcommonlyaccompaniedbyconfusion，occasionedmorebloodshedthanaregularbattle。Onthepresentoccasion，therewasthemoretojustifyit，astheFrenchsoldiers，unaccustomedtosuchenterprises，conceivedthemselvesprotectedbytheseverityofthewinteragainstanysurprise。JohndeWerth，amasterinthisspeciesofwarfare，whichhehadoftenputinpracticeagainstGustavusHorn，conductedtheenterprise，andsucceeded，contrarytoallexpectation。
Theattackwasmadeonasidewhereitwasleastlookedfor，onaccountofthewoodsandnarrowpasses，andaheavysnowstormwhichfelluponthesameday，the24thNovember，1643，

Thewholeoftheartillerywithouttheplace，aswellastheneighbouringCastleofHonberg，weretakenwithoutresistance，Duttlingenitselfwasgraduallysurroundedbytheenemy，andallconnexionwiththeotherquartersintheadjacentvillagessilentlyandsuddenlycutoff。TheFrenchwerevanquishedwithoutfiringacannon。Thecavalryowedtheirescapetotheswiftnessoftheirhorses，andthefewminutesinadvance，whichtheyhadgainedupontheirpursuers。Theinfantrywerecuttopieces，orvoluntarilylaiddowntheirarms。About2，000menwerekilled，and7，000，with25staff-officersand90captains，takenprisoners。
Thiswas，perhaps，theonlybattle，inthewholecourseofthewar，whichproducednearlythesameeffectuponthepartywhichgained，andthatwhichlost；——boththesepartieswereGermans；
theFrenchdisgracedthemselves。Thememoryofthisunfortunateday，whichwasrenewed100yearsafteratRosbach，wasindeederasedbythesubsequentheroismofaTurenneandConde；buttheGermansmaybepardoned，iftheyindemnifiedthemselvesforthemiserieswhichthepolicyofFrancehadheapeduponthem，bytheseseverereflectionsuponherintrepidity。
Meantime，thisdefeatoftheFrenchwascalculatedtoprovehighlydisastroustoSweden，asthewholepoweroftheEmperormightnowactagainstthem，whilethenumberoftheirenemieswasincreasedbyaformidableaccession。
Torstensohnhad，inSeptember，1643，suddenlyleftMoravia，andmovedintoSilesia。Thecauseofthisstepwasasecret，andthefrequentchangeswhichtookplaceinthedirectionofhismarch，contributedtoincreasethisperplexity。FromSilesia，afternumberlesscircuits，headvancedtowardstheElbe，whiletheImperialistsfollowedhimintoLusatia。ThrowingabridgeacrosstheElbeatTorgau，hegaveoutthatheintendedtopenetratethroughMeissenintotheUpperPalatinateinBavaria；

Matterswere，infact，arrivedatlasttothatextremity，thatthewarwasprosecutedmerelyforthepurposeoffurnishingfoodandemploymenttothetroops；thatgoodwinterquartersformedthechiefsubjectofcontention；andthatsuccess，inthispoint，wasmorevaluedthanadecisivevictory。ButnowtheprovincesofGermanywerealmostallexhaustedandlaidwaste。Theywerewhollydestituteofprovisions，horses，andmen，whichinHolsteinweretobefoundinprofusion。Ifbythismovement，Torstensohnshouldsucceedmerelyinrecruitinghisarmy，providingsubsistenceforhishorsesandsoldiers，andremountinghiscavalry，allthedangeranddifficultywouldbewellrepaid。Besides，itwashighlyimportant，ontheeveofnegotiationsforpeace，todiminishtheinjuriousinfluencewhichDenmarkmightexerciseuponthesedeliberations，todelaythetreatyitself，whichthreatenedtobeprejudicialtotheSwedishinterests，bysowingconfusionamongthepartiesinterested，andwithaviewtotheamountofindemnification，toincreasethenumberofherconquests，inordertobethemoresureofsecuringthosewhichaloneshewasanxioustoretain。Moreover，thepresentstateofDenmarkjustifiedevengreaterhopes，ifonlytheattemptwereexecutedwithrapidityandsilence。ThesecretwasinfactsowellkeptinStockholm，thattheDanishministerhadnottheslightestsuspicionofit；
andneitherFrancenorHollandwereletintothescheme。Actualhostilitiescommencedwiththedeclarationofwar；andTorstensohnwasinHolstein，beforeevenanattackwasexpected。TheSwedishtroops，meetingwithnoresistance，quicklyoverranthisduchy，andmadethemselvesmastersofallitsstrongplaces，exceptRensburgandGluckstadt。
AnotherarmypenetratedintoSchonen，whichmadeaslittleopposition；
andnothingbuttheseverityoftheseasonpreventedtheenemyfrompassingtheLesserBaltic，andcarryingthewarintoFunenandZealand。
TheDanishfleetwasunsuccessfulatFemern；andChristianhimself，whowasonboard，losthisrighteyebyasplinter。CutofffromallcommunicationwiththedistantforceoftheEmperor，hisally，thiskingwasonthepointofseeinghiswholekingdomoverrunbytheSwedes；
andallthingsthreatenedthespeedyfulfilmentoftheoldprophecyofthefamousTychoBrahe，thatintheyear1644，ChristianIV。shouldwanderinthegreatestmiseryfromhisdominions。
ButtheEmperorcouldnotlookonwithindifference，whileDenmarkwassacrificedtoSweden，andthelatterstrengthenedbysogreatanacquisition。
Notwithstandinggreatdifficultieslayinthewayofsolongamarchthroughdesolatedprovinces，hedidnothesitatetodespatchanarmyintoHolsteinunderCountGallas，who，afterPiccolomini’sretirement，hadresumedthesupremecommandofthetroops。Gallasaccordinglyappearedintheduchy，tookKeil，andhoped，byformingajunctionwiththeDanes，tobeabletoshutuptheSwedisharmyinJutland。Meantime，theHessians，andtheSwedishGeneralKoenigsmark，werekeptincheckbyHatzfeldt，andtheArchbishopofBremen，thesonofChristianIV。；andafterwardstheSwedesdrawnintoSaxonybyanattackuponMeissen。ButTorstensohn，withhisaugmentedarmy，penetratedthroughtheunoccupiedpassbetwixtSchleswigandStapelholm，metGallas，anddrovehimalongthewholecourseoftheElbe，asfarasBernburg，wheretheImperialiststookupanentrenchedposition。TorstensohnpassedtheSaal，andbypostinghimselfintherearoftheenemy，cutofftheircommunicationwithSaxonyandBohemia。Scarcityandfaminebegannowtodestroythemingreatnumbers，andforcedthemtoretreattoMagdeburg，where，however，theywerenotmuchbetteroff。Thecavalry，whichendeavouredtoescapeintoSilesia，wasovertakenandroutedbyTorstensohn，nearJuterbock；
therestofthearmy，afteravainattempttofightitswaythroughtheSwedishlines，wasalmostwhollydestroyednearMagdeburg。
Fromthisexpedition，Gallasbroughtbackonlyafewthousandmenofallhisformidableforce，andthereputationofbeingaconsummatemasterintheartofruininganarmy。TheKingofDenmark，afterthisunsuccessfulefforttorelievehim，suedforpeace，whichheobtainedatBremseborintheyear1645，underveryunfavourableconditions。

Ferdinanddependeduponhiscavalry，whichoutnumberedthatoftheenemyby3000，anduponthepromiseoftheVirginMary，whohadappearedtohiminadream，andgivenhimthestrongestassurancesofacompletevictory。
ThesuperiorityoftheImperialistsdidnotintimidateTorstensohn，whowasnotaccustomedtonumberhisantagonists。Ontheveryfirstonset，theleftwing，whichGoetz，thegeneraloftheLeague，hadentangledinadisadvantageouspositionamongmarshesandthickets，wastotallyrouted；

ThisdecisivevictoryatJancowitz，atonceexposedalltheAustrianterritorytotheenemy。FerdinandhastilyfledtoVienna，toprovideforitsdefence，andtosavehisfamilyandhistreasures。Inaveryshorttime，thevictoriousSwedespoured，likeaninundation，uponMoraviaandAustria。
AftertheyhadsubduednearlythewholeofMoravia，investedBrunn，andtakenallthestrongholdsasfarastheDanube，andcarriedtheintrenchmentsattheWolf’sBridge，nearVienna，theyatlastappearedinsightofthatcapital，whilethecarewhichtheyhadtakentofortifytheirconquests，showedthattheirvisitwasnotlikelytobeashortone。AfteralonganddestructivecircuitthrougheveryprovinceofGermany，thestreamofwarhadatlastrolledbackwardstoitssource，andtheroaroftheSwedishartillerynowremindedtheterrifiedinhabitantsofthoseballswhich，twenty-sevenyearsbefore，theBohemianrebelshadfiredintoVienna。

TorstensohninvitedRagotsky，thesuccessorofBethlenGabor，tohisassistance，astheBohemianrebelshadsolicitedthatofhispredecessor；UpperHungarywasalreadyinundatedbyhistroops，andhisunionwiththeSwedeswasdailyapprehended。TheElectorofSaxony，driventodespairbytheSwedestakinguptheirquarterswithinhisterritories，andabandonedbytheEmperor，who，afterthedefeatatJankowitz，wasunabletodefendhimself，atlengthadoptedthelastandonlyexpedientwhichremained，andconcludedatrucewithSweden，whichwasrenewedfromyeartoyear，tillthegeneralpeace。TheEmperorthuslostafriend，whileanewenemywasappearingathisverygates，hisarmiesdispersed，andhisalliesinotherquartersofGermanydefeated。TheFrencharmyhadeffacedthedisgraceoftheirdefeatatDeutlingenbyabrilliantcampaign，andhadkeptthewholeforceofBavariaemployedupontheRhineandinSuabia。

AustriaandMoravia，however，werenowfreedfromTorstensohn，byasimilarmeansofdeliverance，asinthebeginningofthewarhadsavedthemfromtheBohemians。Ragotzky，attheheadof25，000men，hadadvancedintotheneighbourhoodoftheSwedishquartersupontheDanube。
Butthesewildundisciplinedhordes，insteadofsecondingtheoperationsofTorstensohnbyanyvigorousenterprise，onlyravagedthecountry，andincreasedthedistresswhich，evenbeforetheirarrival，hadbeguntobefeltintheSwedishcamp。ToextorttributefromtheEmperor，andmoneyandplunderfromhissubjects，wasthesoleobjectthathadalluredRagotzky，orhispredecessor，BethlenGabor，intothefield；

Inthemeantime，themainbodyoftheSwedeshadbeengreatlyweakenedbyatediousencampmentbeforeBrunn。Torstensohn，whocommandedinperson，forfourentiremonthsemployedinvainallhisknowledgeofmilitarytactics；

Suchofthelostplacesashadnotbeenretakenbythelatter，wererecovered，afterhisdeparture，bytheAustrianGeneralBucheim；sothat，inthecourseofthefollowingyear，theAustrianfrontierwasagainclearedoftheenemy，andViennaescapedwithmerealarm。InBohemiaandSilesiatoo，theSwedesmaintainedthemselvesonlywithaveryvariablefortune；
theytraversedbothcountries，withoutbeingabletoholdtheirgroundineither。ButifthedesignsofTorstensohnwerenotcrownedwithallthesuccesswhichtheywerepromisedatthecommencement，theywere，nevertheless，productiveofthemostimportantconsequencestotheSwedishparty。Denmarkhadbeencompelledtoapeace，Saxonytoatruce。TheEmperor，inthedeliberationsforapeace，offeredgreaterconcessions；Francebecamemoremanageable；
andSwedenitselfbolderandmoreconfidentinitsbearingtowardsthesetwocrowns。Havingthusnoblyperformedhisduty，theauthoroftheseadvantagesretired，adornedwithlaurels，intothetranquillityofprivatelife，andendeavouredtorestorehisshatteredhealth。
BytheretreatofTorstensohn，theEmperorwasrelievedfromallfearsofanirruptiononthesideofBohemia。ButanewdangersoonthreatenedtheAustrianfrontierfromSuabiaandBavaria。
Turenne，whohadseparatedfromConde，andtakenthedirectionofSuabia，had，intheyear1645，beentotallydefeatedbyMercy，nearMergentheim；
andthevictoriousBavarians，undertheirbraveleader，pouredintoHesse。
ButtheDukeofEnghienhastenedwithconsiderablesuccoursfromAlsace，KoenigsmarkfromMoravia，andtheHessiansfromtheRhine，torecruitthedefeatedarmy，andtheBavarianswereinturncompelledtoretiretotheextremelimitsofSuabia。HeretheypostedthemselvesatthevillageofAllersheim，nearNordlingen，inordertocovertheBavarianfrontier。ButnoobstaclecouldchecktheimpetuosityoftheDukeofEnghien。Inperson，heledonhistroopsagainsttheenemy’sentrenchments，andabattletookplace，whichtheheroicresistanceoftheBavariansrenderedmostobstinateandbloody；tillatlastthedeathofthegreatMercy，theskillofTurenne，andtheironfirmnessoftheHessians，decidedthedayinfavouroftheallies。Buteventhissecondbarbaroussacrificeoflifehadlittleeffecteitheronthecourseofthewar，oronthenegociationsforpeace。TheFrencharmy，exhaustedbythisbloodyengagement，wasstillfartherweakenedbythedepartureoftheHessians，andtheBavariansbeingreinforcedbytheArchdukeLeopold，TurennewasagainobligedhastilytorecrosstheRhine。
TheretreatoftheFrench，enabledtheenemytoturnhiswholeforceupontheSwedesinBohemia。GustavusWrangel，nounworthysuccessorofBannerandTorstensohn，had，in1646，beenappointedCommander-in-chiefoftheSwedisharmy，which，besidesKoenigsmark’sflyingcorpsandthenumerousgarrisonsdisposedthroughouttheempire，amountedtoabout8，000horse，and15，000foot。TheArchduke，afterreinforcinghisarmy，whichalreadyamountedto24，000men，withtwelveBavarianregimentsofcavalry，andeighteenregimentsofinfantry，movedagainstWrangel，inthehopeofbeingabletooverwhelmhimbyhissuperiorforcebeforeKoenigsmarkcouldjoinhim，ortheFrencheffectadiversioninhisfavour。Wrangel，however，didnotawaithim，buthastenedthroughUpperSaxonytotheWeser，wherehetookHoesterandPaderborn。FromthencehemarchedintoHesse，inordertojoinTurenne，andathiscampatWetzlar，wasjoinedbytheflyingcorpsofKoenigsmark。ButTurenne，fetteredbytheinstructionsofMazarin，whohadseenwithjealousythewarlikeprowessandincreasingpoweroftheSwedes，excusedhimselfonthepleaofapressingnecessitytodefendthefrontierofFranceonthesideoftheNetherlands，inconsequenceoftheFlemingshavingfailedtomakethepromiseddiversion。ButasWrangelcontinuedtopresshisjustdemand，andalongeroppositionmighthaveexciteddistrustonthepartoftheSwedes，orinducethemtoconcludeaprivatetreatywithAustria，TurenneatlastobtainedthewishedforpermissiontojointheSwedisharmy。
ThejunctiontookplaceatGiessen，andtheynowfeltthemselvesstrongenoughtomeettheenemy。ThelatterhadfollowedtheSwedesintoHesse，inordertointercepttheircommissariat，andtopreventtheirunionwithTurenne。Inbothdesignstheyhadbeenunsuccessful；
andtheImperialistsnowsawthemselvescutofffromtheMaine，andexposedtogreatscarcityandwantfromthelossoftheirmagazines。
Wrangeltookadvantageoftheirweakness，toexecuteaplanbywhichhehopedtogiveanewturntothewar。He，too，hadadoptedthemaximofhispredecessor，tocarrythewarintotheAustrianStates。
ButdiscouragedbytheillsuccessofTorstensohn’senterprise，hehopedtogainhisendwithmorecertaintybyanotherway。
HedeterminedtofollowthecourseoftheDanube，andtobreakintotheAustrianterritoriesthroughthemidstofBavaria。

ButbywastinghistimeintheunsuccessfulsiegeofAugsburg，hegaveopportunitytotheImperialists，notonlytorelievethatcity，butalsotorepulsehimasfarasLauingen。Nosooner，however，hadtheyturnedtowardsSuabia，withaviewtoremovethewarfromBavaria，than，seizingtheopportunity，herepassedtheLech，andguardedthepassageofitagainsttheImperialiststhemselves。
Bavarianowlayopenanddefencelessbeforehim；theFrenchandSwedesquicklyoverranit；andthesoldieryindemnifiedthemselvesforalldangersbyfrightfuloutrages，robberies，andextortions。ThearrivaloftheImperialtroops，whoatlastsucceededinpassingtheLechatThierhaupten，onlyincreasedthemiseryofthiscountry，whichfriendandfoeindiscriminatelyplundered。
Andnow，forthefirsttimeduringthewholecourseofthiswar，thecourageofMaximilian，whichforeight-and-twentyyearshadstoodunshakenamidstfearfuldangers，begantowaver。FerdinandII。，hisschool-companionatIngoldstadt，andthefriendofhisyouth，wasnomore；

Accordingly，themotiveswhichtheartificesofFrancenowputinoperation，inordertodetachhimfromtheAustrianalliance，andtoinducehimtolaydownhisarms，weredrawnentirelyfrompoliticalconsiderations。
ItwasnotwithoutaselfishobjectthatMazarinhadsofarovercomehisjealousyofthegrowingpoweroftheSwedes，astoallowtheFrenchtoaccompanythemintoBavaria。HisintentionwastoexposeBavariatoallthehorrorsofwar，inthehopethattheperseveringfortitudeofMaximilianmightbesubduedbynecessityanddespair，andtheEmperordeprivedofhisfirstandlastally。Brandenburghad，underitsgreatsovereign，embracedtheneutrality；Saxonyhadbeenforcedtoaccedetoit；thewarwithFrancepreventedtheSpaniardsfromtakinganypartinthatofGermany；thepeacewithSwedenhadremovedDenmarkfromthetheatreofwar；andPolandhadbeendisarmedbyalongtruce。

ButtheElectorofBavariawasunfortunatelyledtobelievethattheSpaniardsaloneweredisinclinedtopeace，andthatnothing，butSpanishinfluence，hadinducedtheEmperorsolongtoresistacessationofhostilities。MaximiliandetestedtheSpaniards，andcouldneverforgivetheirhavingopposedhisapplicationforthePalatineElectorate。

Ontheextremenorthofthislake，andonthemostsouthernfrontierofSuabia，theAustriantownofBregentz，byitssteepandnarrowpasses，seemedtodefyattack；andinthispersuasion，thewholepeasantryofthesurroundingvillageshadwiththeirpropertytakenrefugeinthisnaturalfortress。Therichbooty，whichthestoreofprovisionsitcontained，gavereasontoexpect，andtheadvantageofpossessingapassintotheTyrol，SwitzerlandandItaly，inducedtheSwedishgeneraltoventureanattackuponthissupposedimpregnablepostandtown，inwhichhesucceeded。Meantime，Turenne，accordingtoagreement，marchedintoWuertemberg，whereheforcedtheLandgraveofDarmstadtandtheElectorofMentztoimitatetheexampleofBavaria，andtoembracetheneutrality。
Andnow，atlast，Franceseemedtohaveattainedthegreatobjectofitspolicy，thatofdeprivingtheEmperorofthesupportoftheLeague，andofhisProtestantallies，andofdictatingtohim，swordinhand，theconditionsofpeace。Ofallhisonceformidablepower，anarmy，notexceeding12，000，wasallthatremainedtohim；

andafterabriefcrisis，thefallenpowerofAustriaroseagaintoaformidablestrength。ThejealousywhichFranceentertainedofSweden，preventeditfrompermittingthetotalruinoftheEmperor，orallowingtheSwedestoobtainsuchapreponderanceinGermany，asmighthavebeendestructivetoFranceherself。Accordingly，theFrenchministerdeclinedtotakeadvantageofthedistressesofAustria；
andthearmyofTurenne，separatingfromthatofWrangel，retiredtothefrontiersoftheNetherlands。Wrangel，indeed，aftermovingfromSuabiaintoFranconia，takingSchweinfurt，andincorporatingtheimperialgarrisonofthatplacewithhisownarmy，attemptedtomakehiswayintoBohemia，andlaidsiegetoEgra，thekeyofthatkingdom。Torelievethisfortress，theEmperorputhislastarmyinmotion，andplacedhimselfatitshead。Butobligedtotakealongcircuit，inordertosparethelandsofVonSchlick，thepresidentofthecouncilofwar，heprotractedhismarch；
andonhisarrival，Egrawasalreadytaken。Botharmieswerenowinsightofeachother；andadecisivebattlewasmomentarilyexpected，asbothweresufferingfromwant，andthetwocampswereonlyseparatedfromeachotherbythespaceoftheentrenchments。ButtheImperialists，althoughsuperiorinnumbers，contentedthemselveswithkeepingclosetotheenemy，andharassingthembyskirmishes，byfatiguingmarchesandfamine，untilthenegociationswhichhadbeenopenedwithBavariawerebroughttoabearing。
TheneutralityofBavaria，wasawoundunderwhichtheImperialcourtwrithedimpatiently；andafterinvainattemptingtopreventit，Austrianowdetermined，ifpossible，toturnittoadvantage。
SeveralofficersoftheBavarianarmyhadbeenoffendedbythisstepoftheirmaster，whichatoncereducedthemtoinaction，andimposedaburdensomerestraintontheirrestlessdisposition。
EventhebraveJohndeWerthwasattheheadofthemalcontents，andencouragedbytheEmperor，heformedaplottoseducethewholearmyfromtheirallegiancetotheElector，andleaditovertotheEmperor。
Ferdinanddidnotblushtopatronizethisactoftreacheryagainsthisfather’smosttrustyally。HeformallyissuedaproclamationtotheBavariantroops，inwhichherecalledthemtohimself，remindedthemthattheywerethetroopsoftheempire，whichtheElectorhadmerelycommandedinnameoftheEmperor。
FortunatelyforMaximilian，hedetectedtheconspiracyintimeenoughtoanticipateandpreventitbythemostrapidandeffectivemeasures。
ThisdisgracefulconductoftheEmperormighthavejustifiedareprisal，butMaximilianwastoooldastatesmantolistentothevoiceofpassion，wherepolicyaloneoughttobeheard。Hehadnotderivedfromthetrucetheadvantagesheexpected。Farfromtendingtoaccelerateageneralpeace，ithadaperniciousinfluenceuponthenegociationsatMunsterandOsnaburg，andhadmadethealliesbolderintheirdemands。TheFrenchandSwedeshadindeedremovedfromBavaria；but，bythelossofhisquartersintheSuabiancircle，hefoundhimselfcompelledeithertoexhausthisownterritoriesbythesubsistenceofhistroops，oratoncetodisbandthem，andtothrowasidetheshieldandspear，attheverymomentwhentheswordaloneseemedtobethearbiterofright。
Beforeembracingeitherofthesecertainevils，hedeterminedtotryathirdstep，theunfavourableissueofwhichwasatleastnotsocertain，viz。，torenouncethetruceandresumethewar。
Thisresolution，andtheassistancewhichheimmediatelydespatchedtotheEmperorinBohemia，threatenedmateriallytoinjuretheSwedes，andWrangelwascompelledinhastetoevacuatethatkingdom。
HeretiredthroughThuringiaintoWestphaliaandLunenburg，inthehopeofformingajunctionwiththeFrencharmyunderTurenne，whiletheImperialandBavarianarmyfollowedhimtotheWeser，underMelanderandGronsfeld。Hisruinwasinevitable，iftheenemyshouldovertakehimbeforehisjunctionwithTurenne；
butthesameconsiderationwhichhadjustsavedtheEmperor，nowprovedthesalvationoftheSwedes。Evenamidstallthefuryoftheconquest，coldcalculationsofprudenceguidedthecourseofthewar，andthevigilanceofthedifferentcourtsincreased，astheprospectofpeaceapproached。
TheElectorofBavariacouldnotallowtheEmperortoobtainsodecisiveapreponderanceas，bythesuddenalterationofaffairs，mightdelaythechancesofageneralpeace。Everychangeoffortunewasimportantnow，whenapacificationwassoardentlydesiredbyall，andwhenthedisturbanceofthebalanceofpoweramongthecontractingpartiesmightatonceannihilatetheworkofyears，destroythefruitoflongandtediousnegociations，andindefinitelyprotractthereposeofEurope。
IfFrancesoughttorestraintheSwedishcrownwithinduebounds，andmeasuredoutherassistanceaccordingtohersuccessesanddefeats，theElectorofBavariasilentlyundertookthesametaskwiththeEmperorhisally，anddetermined，byprudentlydealingouthisaid，toholdthefateofAustriainhisownhands。AndnowthatthepoweroftheEmperorthreatenedoncemoretoattainadangeroussuperiority，MaximilianatonceceasedtopursuetheSwedes。HewasalsoafraidofreprisalsfromFrance，whohadthreatenedtodirectTurenne’swholeforceagainsthimifheallowedhistroopstocrosstheWeser。
Melander，preventedbytheBavariansfromfurtherpursuingWrangel，crossedbyJenaandErfurtintoHesse，andnowappearedasadangerousenemyinthecountrywhichhehadformerlydefended。
Ifitwasthedesireofrevengeuponhisformersovereign，whichledhimtochooseHesseforthesceneofhisravage，hecertainlyhadhisfullgratification。Underthisscourge，themiseriesofthatunfortunatestatereachedtheirheight。
Buthehadsoonreasontoregretthat，inthechoiceofhisquarters，hehadlistenedtothedictatesofrevengeratherthanofprudence。
Inthisexhaustedcountry，hisarmywasoppressedbywant，whileWrangelwasrecruitinghisstrength，andremountinghiscavalryinLunenburg。
TooweaktomaintainhiswretchedquartersagainsttheSwedishgeneral，whenheopenedthecampaigninthewinterof1648，andmarchedagainstHesse，hewasobligedtoretirewithdisgrace，andtakerefugeonthebanksoftheDanube。
FrancehadoncemoredisappointedtheexpectationsofSweden；
andthearmyofTurenne，disregardingtheremonstrancesofWrangel，hadremainedupontheRhine。TheSwedishleaderrevengedhimself，bydrawingintohisservicethecavalryofWeimar，whichhadabandonedthestandardofFrance，though，bythisstep，hefartherincreasedthejealousyofthatpower。TurennereceivedpermissiontojointheSwedes；
andthelastcampaignofthiseventfulwarwasnowopenedbytheunitedarmies。DrivingMelanderbeforethemalongtheDanube，theythrewsuppliesintoEgra，whichwasbesiegedbytheImperialists，anddefeatedtheImperialandBavarianarmiesontheDanube，whichventuredtoopposethematSusmarshausen，whereMelanderwasmortallywounded。
Afterthisoverthrow，theBavariangeneral，Gronsfeld，placedhimselfonthefarthersideoftheLech，inordertoguardBavariafromtheenemy。
ButGronsfeldwasnotmorefortunatethanTilly，who，inthissameposition，hadsacrificedhislifeforBavaria。WrangelandTurennechosethesamespotforpassingtheriver，whichwassogloriouslymarkedbythevictoryofGustavusAdolphus，andaccomplisheditbythesamemeans，too，whichhadfavouredtheirpredecessor。Bavariawasnowasecondtimeoverrun，andthebreachofthetrucepunishedbytheseveresttreatmentofitsinhabitants。MaximiliansoughtshelterinSalzburgh，whiletheSwedescrossedtheIser，andforcedtheirwayasfarastheInn。
