Extract of a letter from Leipzing [sic], dated Nov. 9, 1757.
It is unfortunately, but too true, that the combined army
has been totally defeated and dispersed.  One part of it has
fled by Naumberg, and the other by Freyberg.  The Prince of
Dessau pursues the one, and the King in person the other. 
There have been bro't to Mersebourg above 5000 prisoners. 
They are confined in the churches.  The army of the empire
has lost 64 pieces of cannon, with kettle-drums, colours,
and standards, in great number. . .
