He had done all that he could do , and nature triumphed over long habits of obedience ; even the sound of cannon and musketry , on the other side of the hill , fell dead upon his ears .

In vain Mollendorf , an active and enterprising general , had implored him to attempt something , if only to draw off a portion of the Austrian strength from the king .
