Whitehall, May 11. 1745. An account of the action between
the allied army and that of France, near Tournay, the 11th
of May, N.S. . . . [41, last col. of article]
There are hardly any prisoners but the wounded, and they
were left at the Duke's quarters at Brussoel, upon the
confidence of the cartel and the usual behaviour upon such
occasions. We have not lost any colours, standards, or
kettle drums, but have taken one standard. And the cannon
lost was left behind for want of hoses, the contractors with
the artillery having run off with them so early, that they
reach'd Brussels that day. The army of the allies was the
next day encamped in the neighbourhood of Aeth.
