24-30 Mar 1743:21, 22 (1212)
By private letters from Flanders we hear the English
officers are greatly disappointed by not taking the field,
which they expected they should have done before now, under
the command of their sovereign: And as they have now no
opportunity to signalize their valour, they intend during
their winter quarters, to give the Flanderkins some
specimens of their gallantry: Several general officers will
pass away their time at Brussels: And for the diversion of
others, there will be a company of stage players at Ghent
and Bruges, with balls, assemblies, ridotto, &c.--- For
what an important end have been all [ ] embarkations, &c.
&c.
