The Day before Yefter- day we were SpeQators, from the Height of our Towers, upon the Ramparts, of 2 moft bloody Battle -jought near Berghen, 2 League from this City, be- tween the French and the Allies.

Both Armies continued on the Field of Battle till Five the next Morning, when the Allies thought properto retire about two Leagues. . Ttis natural to fuppofe, that in an Engagement which lafted fifteen Hours there muft be a great Lofs on both Sides ; all we know of it is, that our City is crowded with wounded and dying Men.
