Madrid, Oct. 11. O.S. On the 5th instant the court received
dispatches from the army of the Infant Don Philip, with the
agreeable news that the troops of that Prince had on the
26th ult. near Tour du Pont attack'd the entrenchments of
the Piedmontese, in which were twenty-four battalions: That
after having obliged the enemy to retreat, they took
possession of those entrenchments, and were preparing to
penetrate further into Piedmont. This news occasion'd such
extraordinary joy, that in order to give publick marks of
it, Te Deum was immediately sung in the presence of their
Majesties and the Royal Family: There was rejoicing at the
palace for three days successively, during which time there
was continual ringing of bells, and in the evening bonfires
and illuminations. . .
