Extract of a letter from an officer in the late expedition
to the coast of France. . . [1 1/4 column, details of
landing and actions] However, the French were before us,
for at one we could hear their drums beat to arms, at which
time there came some deserters to us, who informed us that
the design of the enemy was to get between us and the water
side . . . [27 lines, English retreat to ships.] At one the
firing ceased and the French proclaimed a victory in the
field, and immediately sung Te Deum. . .
