Breslau, May 29.  O.S.  Yesterday the regiment of Hacke
brought into this city upwards of 5000 prisoners, Austrians
and Saxons, with five Haubitzes, 65 pieces of cannon of
different bores, 78 colours, 7 standards, 8 pair of kettle-
drums, and 31 waggons belonging to the Saxon troops; the
whole taken both in the battle and in the pursuit.  among
the Saxon generals, made prisoners, or dead since, are the
Generals . . . The number of officers taken prisoners
amounts to near 200.  Some of them who have been in other
battles, own that they never saw one like this.
