FERDINAND, Duke of Brunjwickand Lunebourg. From the Lonpon GazZETTE EXTRAORDINARY, St. Fames's, July 23, 1761. THIS day day the Hon. Col. Fitzroy,Aid de Camp | to Prince Ferdinand of Brun{wick arrived here, and brought the following particulars fmnhik.mi Screae Highnefs, of the Victory obuained tiie 16th in- ftant, by his Majefty’s Army. Hobenover, July 17, 1761. Since the army occu- pied the camp of Hohenover, that of the enemy en- campzd at Soeft, under the command of Prince Soubife, fremed to have been wnolly employed in reconnoitring our pofilion, which was s very advantageous one, on accouni of the wood and defiles, which ic was neceflary 'y 5 " ‘o toPpasin oider to come up with us. There was not & day in which our advanced poits were not difturbed. His Serene Highnefs was informed cn the 13th in the evening, that Soubife’s army had made a motion dor- wards ; in conlequence of which, he ordered the bag- g3gc awsy and the army to hold itfelf in readinels to ut unger arms on the fist figoal. On the 14th, in “¢he morning, the enemy’s new camp was difcovered, the righi of which ftretched towsrd the convent of Pa- radies and Soeft, the left reaching to the heights of Rhune ; and, all having appcared quiet there, the Bag- gege was ordered back. H:s Serenc Highuefs however tho't proper to make a movement with his army, the intention of which was to reinforce the right wing. The Hereditary Prince was at the extremity of it, which excended as $ar 4s the village of Buderich, which was guarded by a de.schment. The body of the army occupied the heights of Wambeln, and the Prince of Anhalt the ground between Illengen and Hohenover. Lord Gran by kept hiz pofi-ion on the heights of KirchDenckern, and Licutenant Gen. Watgenan, who was encamped upon the heath of Untrup marched by his right to ap- proech the village of Kirch Denckern. The avenuecs *and pofts on the little river Arft, and the Sulizbak, were guarded by the pickets ‘of ihe army. This was our pofition, when his Serene Highnels was informed on the 1'5th, about fix in the evening, that Soubife’s army bad {truck their tents and were march- ing on their right. Almoft at the fame inftant, he heard that the enemy had diflodged the advanced pofts of Lord Granby, snd that they were advancing in s firong ’ body towards his camp. Thele informations determined him to make the fol- » lowing difpofitions : he ordered Lord Granby to main- tain his ground to the laft extremity : ‘Licutenant Ge- neral Wutgenau was ordered to march to the left, to "block up the high road from Lipftadc to Ham, and to ect in concert with Lord Granby, whofe right was to be fupported by the Prince of Anhalt, who joined it with his left, his own right reaching to the Aaft sbove w&irch Denckern : Lieutenant General Conway replac- ! ed the Prince of Anhalt between Illingen and Hehan- over. The Hereditary Prince ordered Lieutenant Ge- neral Bofe to march with part ofkis troops, to occupy the heights of Wambeln, -and .Teft Count Kiifmanfege on the fide of Buderick. The greateft partof the ar- tillery was diftributed by Couait Schaumbourg Kippe, on the front of the left. M. de Sporken, who was éncamped at Hertzfeld, was ordered to fend fix battalions and fix fquadrons over the Lipps, which were to fupport M. de Wutge- nsu ; and he wis to a&t with the reft in the menner he fhould think moft’proper. Thele difpofitions being made, his ferene bighnels camge to Gen. Granby’s camp, which was attack’d very brifkly. His lordfhip had tsken his mesfure fo well, that he fultsined the efforts of the enemy till the arrival of M, Wutgenau, who coming upen his left, and having taken the enemy in flank, they could not withftand thefe united efforts, and were driven back .into the woods, after a fire of artillefy sad fmall arms, which coztinued till late in the night. M. de Wutgenon kept the ground he had juft gsined ; he extended his right to Haus: Velingheufen, and turned bis left to- wardsthe road of Ham, the defence of which place was his chief obje®, We learn fiom the prifosers, that M. Broglio nad decamped at bresk of day, with his whole army from Erwite, in orderto give us baule in conjunétion with thatof Prince Soubife. His ferene highnefs judging that che firongeft efforts would be made on our left, ordered Gen. Howard to bring up the brigade of foot commsanded by Lord Cavendifh, end that of cavalry by Major Gen. Lord Pembroke. Colonel Grevendorff was {ent with two battalions to Kirch Denckera, to barricade and fortify that village 3 who, in cale of neceflity, was to be fupported by Lieutenent General Howard. The enemy was in pof- feflion of fome pofts oppofite to cur piquezs, and the patroles were fkirmithing all night. The Battle began afrefh the nex: Morning at Three, end the Enemy redoubled their Efforts againft M. Wat- gensus Corps, - who fuffained them with the greateft Firmnefs. The Fire from the Arillery, and Small Arms, continued five Hours without the Encmy’s gain- ing one frch of Ground. 1t was near Nine, when ‘Woard was brought to his Serene Highnefs, that the Enemy Jegmed to defign placing fome Batteries upon ““an Eminence oppofite to Ldid Granby’s Camp, which we had not been able to inclofe within our Lines. His Highnefs perceiving the Necefliiy of preventing the Enemy from feizing this Emincnce, from which they might have very much gslied us, and being informed of the Arrival of the Datachment under General Sporken, refolved to make Advantage of the Irrefolution which sppeared in the Moticns of the Enemy, and ordered the Troops, which were neareft st Hund, to advance upon them. This Movement was decifive, snd all had the Succefs that could be defired. Our Troops having advanced with the gresieit Intrepidity, foon obliged the Enemy togive Way, and to retreat with Precipitation, having abandoned their Desd and Wounded, and {everal Pieces of Cannon, fome of which are 16 Pounders. Max- well’s Battalion of Gienadiers took the Regiment of Rouge, formerly Belfunce, confifting of four Battalions, with its Cannon, and Colours. We have made befides, a great many Priflozers, but have not yet had Time to make out a Lift of them. The victorious Troops following the Enemy as.far as Haltrup; and the Nawre of the Ground not having aliowed of the Cavalry’s alting, his Serene Highnels was then obliged to content himfelt with detaching fome Light Troops in Purfuit of them. A britk Cannonade was fiil continued on the Side where the Hereditary Prince commanded ; but upon the News of the Defest on their Right, they were pro- bably induced to give over their Atutacks in chat Part too. They had made unfuccefsful ones upon the Vil- lage of Scheidingen, which was occupied by 200 Men, under the command of Major Limbourg, fupported by fome Battalions, fent by the Hereditary Prince. The Day ended with a general Retrest of the Enemy. Other Acconnts mention, thst the Lofs of the French in Killed, Wounded and Prifoners, was com- puted at about §ooo Men ; znd that nine Pieces of Cannon, and fix psir of Colours were taken.

Fanuary 20." 1761, D4 OU muft excufe Order in this Letter, for it treats of many very bad Tidings, and fome very gocd ones : The firft thing of Confequence done sfter blocking up Pondicherry was the cutting out the Baleine, 2 36 Gun Frigste and the Hermione Meschaut Ships, from under the Guns, which was purfornied in the Middle of the Night by the Boats of tlie Fleet, un- der the Diretion of Captain Newion of the South Sea Catftle, to whom the Comimand of the Baleind is given. It being extremely dangerous to keépa Fleet on this Coalt during the Monfoons ; the Admirals tho’t proper 262 Foreign and Domeflick. to fil for Tripcouomale ia Ceylon, leaving five Ship® to prevent Succours fiom getting into the Town 3 and the 5thof November roceived Intelligence of a French Ship having got out of Pondicherry, and being gone to Trincambzr, 2. Duich Sentlement, for Psovifions for the Garrifon ; upon which the Med way & Newcaftlé failed - to that Place, and took her from under the Guns ; the Danes fired a Shot or two, but I believe took care ta mils us. The Ship is ealled La Campagnie des Indes, pierced for 54 Guns, and almoft new ; we fent our Prize to join the Admirai and returned (o our Station.! December 25, 26 and 27 were joined by Admiral Stevens in the Norfolk, the Sunderland, Queenborough, Falmoath 2nd Liverpool, and the Company’s Ships Duke and Prate&lor. : With an aching Heart I now come to the 1ft of Ja- nuary 1761, 2 Day which will, while I breathe, fhock me to think of ; and will ftartle you, when you hear that it pleafed God to fend wus the moft terrible Storm. that ever blew out of the Heavens, by which His Ma~ jelty’s Ship Duke of Aquitaia foundered about two Leagues to the Southward, and the Sunderland about two Lesgues to the Northward of this Place, and moft of the Crews perithed. The Ships Newcaltle & Queen- borough with the Proteftor Firefhip, were drove on Shore and loft a ittle to the Southward of Ariancopang, but the People were faved ; as allo the Ordnance, and molt of the Stores and Provifions. Several of the other Ships fuffcred in the -Siorm 3 but with the Help of the Mafts,Yardsend Stores faved from the wrecked Ships, and the sffiftance of the Squadron, they were in a few Days compleatly fitiod, and put in a State for Service. This Siorm, fatal as it had been, did not hinder our coatinuing the Siege anaBlockade, without much Diftur- bance from the Engmy, who were greatly diftrefled for Provifions, being reduced to four Ounces of Rice per Day, and no other Provifions whatever,, - On the 14th of january a confidcr:&t Bresch was made in the Wall ; and cn the 15th they furrendered ac Difcretion. The Fall of this Place ( which contsin great quen- tities of military ftores ) together with the gift with which the “INabob of Arcoc will fulute us, us alfo our three prizes will go near to defray our expences while here, but will hardly equal our fanguine expe&ations. “ Pondicherry will be blown up in the fame manuer as Fort St. David’s was by the French ; (he fate of the Old Jerufslem awaits it, and not one itone will be left upon another : The Place, it is faid, coft 2 million in building, which account I believe does not exceed the truth, for it is the fineft my eyes ever beheld.” July 22, Inftead of Spain’s declaring war zgainft England, as was ablurdly reported on Monday by the Bears of Jonathan’s, to preveot that great rife of the ftocks, which would have beenthe natural confequence of @ moments refleCtions on the importancs of dilpof- fefling the Fiench of all their India fett®ments and trade ( which muf make France fubmit to our terms; ) we arc informed that Spain has offered. her mediation ta fettle the differences that have arifen in the courfe of the negeciation ; which will foon be accommodated, 7uly 24, They write from Hanover of the 15th inftant, thatan aftien happcned on the 12th near Pyr mont, between a party of the Allies under Genersl Luckner, and snother of the French commanded by General Chabot, in which the latter had above Goo - men killed, wounded and taken prifoners. ' A Prayer of Thank(giving is ordered by his Majefty to be added to the Morning and Evening Service on Sunday, for taking Pondicherry, Rofeau, &c. . July 21. The report of afieet of men of war going up the Baltick, is again revived, and that the King of Den- mark will fend fome thosufands of trosps 1o join Prince Ferdinand of Brunfwick. A letter from Paris, dated July 3, concludes thus > Mr. Stanly bas flill frequent conferences with the King's miniflers ; but it is feared they will prove fruitlefs, from the enormous pretenfions of tbe Englifp.
