Treves, Decemb. 8. The French have surrendered the castle of
Dagstoul to the allies, who have sent a detachment to
dislodge the French from Fort St. John near Saarbruck, and
thereby extend their winter quarters. Two days since about
800 French, with a great number of trumpets and kettle
drums, &c. appeared before Saarbruck designing to make the
Germans garrison believe that a great army was come to
reduce the fort, but the governour refusing to surrender
upon their summons, they retired with precipitation to
Thonville.
