LONDON, Augufp 16. ° Extrall of a Letter from an Officer in Major General Napier's regiment, dated Auguft 3. g WE have gained one of the molit glorious battles that ever wasfought, againitan army at leaft twice our numbers. Prince Ferdi- nand has, during the whole campaign, notwith- ftanding all difadvantages, difplayed the moft mafterly fkill in generalfhip, but this laft Coup 4’ Elcat has raifed his reputation above the reach of Detraltion. Forefeeing, that the Electorate of Hanover would be quite expofed fhould he retreat further, he determined to bring the Ene- my to a battle, not withftanding their {uperiori- ty. Heknew them too well to expect they would attack him, without a manifet advantage and to endeavour to force their camp and in- trenchments, was to take the Bull by the Horns, Far thefe reafons, he refolved to play off a ftra- tagem againft M.Contades, in order to draw him out to the open field. As he fufpelted the camp to be {warming with fpies, he communi- cated his plan only to the general officers. On the zgth and joth of Ju'y be made feveral marches and counter marches with the army, which wa¢ divided into three bodies, cheefly with the defign of amufing the Enemy. The 31ft he filed off with the main body to the right, quite out of fight, leaving General Wan- genheim in the camp with 18cco men. He then pofted fmall bodies in proper places, who, by fignals conveyed from oae to another, coald give him immediate intelligeace of the leaft mo- tion of the French. Thefe difpofitions being made, he waited the event of his {cheme, which anfwered to his with. Betwixt four and five inthe morning of Auguft 1ft, M. Contades poured out his troops, in order to fallon Wan- geaheim, whom he expeed tocrufhiin a twink- ling. That brave General received them with the greateft firminefs and refolation. The on- fet of (ke French army was extremely farious, ruthing with the greateft impetuofity, like a de- luge threatning to fweep all before it ; but the undauntedsefs and good difpofition of cur troops checked their career, and made them real back again ; however they foon rallied, and returned to the charge, and Wangenheim muft been o- verpowered, had not Prince Ferdinand moft unexpe&edly and difagreeably for the French, advanced with the main body. Heimmediately fell upon their left wing with great vigour, and faluted them with a mo't terrible difcharge of his artillery, which did prodigious execution, and put them into the utmoft diforder ; bat frefh troops coming up, the meft defperate conlli was renewed. Prince Ferdinand rode up and down throagh the lines, exhorting the foidiers to behave galiantly: he detached reinforcements wherever there was occafion ; he animated his troops by his example, expofing his perfon like 2 young officer, and at the fame time putting in pradlice all the arts of a moft confummate Ge- neral. Our Britith infantry, headed by Gene- rals Waldegrave and Kingfley, fought with the greatelt ardour and intrepidity, fultaining and repelling the repeated attacks of the enemy with the moft romantic bravery. The common foldiers, fo far from being daunted at the fight of their fallen companions, breathed nothing but revenge. For my part, though at the be- ginning of ihe engagement I felt a kind of tre- pidation, yet I was fo animated by the brave example of all around me, that when I received a {light wound by a mufket ball {launting on iy left fide, it ferved only to exafperate me the more, and had I then received orders, I could with the greateft pleafure have rufhed into the thickelt of the enemy. We fought, in thort, like Britons. The Hanoverians, Heffians and Pruflians endeavoured to outdo one another, the Britith to outthine themfelves. Intereft, ho- four, glory and emulation, confpired to render the battle of Tottenhaufen famous to pofterity. The French officers did all they could, to wreft the viGtory from us : often did they rally their broken troops, and returned to the charge, and as often were they beat off with the greateft hivock. Our artillery was handfomely ferved. (At laft, after the moil obltinate difpute of up- wards of fix hours the French gave way on all hands, in fpite of the utmoft efforts of their com- manders, whom they hurried along in the flight; fer a flight it was, and not a retreat, Thou- fands jumped into the water, and many were forced into it, by thecrowds prefling hard be- hind ; and the roads were all ftrewed with thofe who lay expiring of their wounds; a difmal fight ! The lofs of the French is computed at 7000 killed on the field, and in the parfuit ; about twice as many wounded ; 4000 drowned, and it is faid we have made about 5000 prifo- ners, - We have taken 52 pieces of cannon, 16 pair of colours, 9 ftandards, and their whole baggage. Our lofs, in killed, wounded, and mifling, is about 1400, smong who is no officer of note. The Hanoverians have loft near zco00. The confequénces of this victory fhew the de cifivenefs of it. All the Towns in this Eletto- rate, which the French had .made themfelves mafters of, are now in our pofl:fion. . Minden, Mun£er, Biefieid, Hirchfield, Dulmen, Halieren, and Ofnaburg, have furrendered, and their gar- rifons made prifoners of war. We don'tin- tend, however, togive the French much eafe till they are fairly on the other fide of the Rhine.” e et i . e . Rt et . .
