Extract of a private letter from the Austrian camp near
Modena.  The garrison of this citadal consists of 4000 men,
and we have 2000 to reinforce that of Mirandola.  We had a
small guard, consisting of 180 Licanians and Hussars, at
Vignolo, who defended themselves against the enemy with all
the bravery imaginable; and when ammunition and provision
fail'd them, marched off to our camp, drums beating, colours
flying. . .
