Augustus and his followers acted however more quickly and decisively than the French prince, whose belated arrival in Danzig area, where he sailed, but was blocked by supporters of Augustus from landing in the city, was not enough to prevent the Saxon from gaining the throne.
August ja tema järgijad tegutsesid siiski palju kiiremini ja otsustavamalt, kui Prantsuse prints, kelle hilinenud saabumine Danzigisse, kuhu ta seilas, kuid takistati Augusti pooldajate poolt seal randuda, ei olnud piisav, et takistada saksi troonile saamist.
