Henry's Quarters were win at Names on the 7th or and Month,

and that our Troops occupied an advanced Post near Nines; it

</

was a Cloyster Surrounded by high Walls, the Defence of which
<
lb

</

was consided to Lieut. Billerbeck with 40 Men: This Post was at-

lb

</

tacked by 600 Austrians, but Mr. Billerbeck defended himself so
<
lb

</
lb

well they were obliged to retire, after a sharp Engagement of two
<
lb

</

Hours; the Loss of the Austrians must have been very considerable
<
lb

</
lb

by the Quantity of Arms, Hats, and Caps that were found; Six
<
lb

</
lb

Men were found dead, and some wounded; the Enemy certainly
<

</

must have carried off many more we did not lose one Man. The

our advanced post at Hunnerswaffer was also attacked by
<
lb

</
lb

two Bactalions, but they were obliged to retire. The 4th there
<
lb

</
lb

was a foraging Party between 60 Hussars, who
<
lb

</
lb

were driven back, and one

but the latter

soners. Besides these two Affairs, there was one of greater im-
<
lb

</
lb

portance in the County of Glatz: A Corps of Austrians attempted
<
lb
>
</
lb

to attack General Wunsch, and to dislodge him from his Camp at
<
lb
>
</
lb

Ratzenburgh, but by the good Disposition of that General, and
<

</
lb

the brave Resistance of his Men, our Troops maintained their
<

Post, and the Enemy retired with considerable Loss.

Berlin, Sept. 15. By the last Letters from Bohemia we have
<

</

Accounts, that when the King marched from Lauterwasser to
<

</

Wildtchutz. his Rear was attacked by the Austrians, who had
<
lb

</

placed Cannon upon the Heights which commanded the Ways he
<

</

was to go through with his Army, which occasioned the Separa-

tion of the Regiments of Stutterheim and Zaremba from the Rear
<
lb

</

Gaurd of his Majesty's Troops; but the Prince do Hohenlohe
<

contrived to place some Cannon so advantageously as to quiet the

Firing of those of the Enemy, whom he obliged to retire; the

King was so satisfied with the Behaviour of the Prince de Hohen-

in the best Order, with the Loss of only one Man killed, three

Upper Lusacia, Sept. 10. Yesterday arrived at Bautzen a Trans-
<
lb

</
lb

port of Prussian Sick, and Imperial wounded Prisoners, with near
<
lb

</
lb

300 Surgeons and Apothecaries. We do not know the Number of
<
lb

</
lb

Sick, but it must be very considerable, as the two Houses belonging
<
lb
>
</
lb
>
to the Cloth Manufactory were filled with them, besides another
<
lb

</
lb

large Building. There were 500 Waggons, Part empty, and Part
<
lb

</
lb

full of Sick and Wounded besides 20 Waggons for the Military
<
lb

</
lb

Cath with six Horses, and near 300 for Ammunition and Provision,
<
lb

</
lb

besides others for different Purposes. This Transport and the
<
lb

</

Escort were reckoned to be about 5000 Men and 6000 Horses. Some
<

</

more arrived at Noon on the same Day, and we are assured there

</

will arrive 2000 more soon. Although a courier brought Word

that Prince Henry's Head Quarters were Yesterday at Nimes, Yet it
