e Prince Ferdinands Head Quarters at SaxenbaufenYaly 11. The French army under the command of Maifh .l Broglio, quiited their camp at Neudade, the 8:h inft. at night and marched towards Franckenberg : fome ‘time siter -which we received advice, that M. de St. Germain was in motion, and dire@ed his march to- wards Brilon and Corbec. "Our army began its march likewife on the 8th, at three o’clock in the afternoon, - and arrived in the morning of the g h upon the heights of Breunzu, not far irom Woldengen. The advanced corps under the command of the Hereditary Piince of Bruniwick, was fent forwards from thence as far as Saxenhaufen after having been reinforced by fome bat- talions and iquadrons under M jor General Griffin. “The army refumed its march on the 1oth at 2 o'clock in the morning : Aad the fame morning, the Hereditary Prince advanced from Sixznhaufen towards Corbach, where he found the enemy already formed : Bat, judg- joz them to be not yet very numerous, end their whole force sgaiuft him not to exceed 10.000 foo', and 17 {qaadrons, heformed a defign of diiving that corps back ; and thus engagement was brought on, end bs- came cx'reamly hot about 2 o’clock in the afternoon. The enemy being continually reinforced “with freh troops, and having the {uperiority of numbers; and a large artillery, the Prince found it not peflible tadillodge them from their poft: And as there was no necefliny of miintaining that one which he himfelf occupied, ( our'saain army being arrived at S xzphaufen ) and it not being practicable for them to come up in time to fuftain the Hereditary prince in his polt; orders were fent him by Prince Ferdinand to rejoin the army, part of which was then formed. Accordingly,the Hereditary Prince made his difpofitions for a retreat, which was attended with a like confufion among fome of our bat- talions and fquadrons. The enemy obferving this, prefled very brifkly upon our troops,-both wiih their artillery and a large body of cavilry. Our baitalions would hive fuffcred confiderable hereby, had it it not been for the bravery of the Hereditary Piince, who patting himfelf 2t the head of one of Blind’s fquadrons, snd of Howard's regiment of dragoons, charged the eacmy fo furioufly as to enable our infanuy to make a fsfe retreat. Fifteeen pieces of cannon,how - cver, fell into the hands of the enemy, which could not be carried off for want of the horfes that were kil- led in the a&ion. Qur lofs in men, killed, wounded, and prifoners may amount to 500. General Count Kie!m'nagge diftinguithed himfelf greatly in this atair, s well as M:jor General Griffis, with two Britifh bat- talions of Brudensil and Carr: and particularly one fqusdron of Bland’s commanded by Major Mill, and Howards regiment of dragoons: and the troops in general fhewed great goodwill and alacrity. The Herecitary Prince was wounded in the fhoulder, but not dipgeroufly ; and it is hoped will appear again in _afew days. We are encamped upon the heights of Saxenhaulen, as the French are upon thofe of Corbach. Gencral Sparcke is cxpe&ed 1o oin us foon. I 0N DU N Fuly 26.
