Newcastle, July 24. There is a private letter in town,
which gives an account that there has been a bloody
engagement betwixt the Veldt-Marshalls Traun and Bathiani
and the Prince of Conti, in which the latter was entirely
defeated, with the loss of 15,000 kill'd, 9000 wounded, and
18,000 taken prisoners; besides 2000 officers. 'Tis farther
added, that they have taken 179 pieces of cannon, 180
baggage-waggons, 200 pair of colours, and 38 pair of kettle-
drums.---- (Charming news this, if it were true.)
