From the London Gazette, November 27. Hague, November 23.
Yesterday in the evening an express arrived from Mr. Hatton,
near Munster, to Major-General Yorke, his Britannic
Majesty's Minister Plenipotentiary, with the news, that M.
d'Armentieres had advanced in order to raise the siege of
Munster, but had retired on the twentieth instant:
Whereupon the Governor of the place had desired to
capitulate. This account was confirmed this evening from
General Imhoff, with the following circumstances: That M.
d'Armentieres had attacked that General's posts in the
village of Albachten, on the 19th at night, and drove the
Hanoverian chasseurs from the village, which, however was
soon recovered: That dispositions having been made for
attacking the French the next morning, they retreated with
precipitation: That M. Gayon, the French commandant at
Munster, sent a trumpet to demand terms, which being granted
him by the Compte de la Lippe, he marched out of the town on
the 21st: . . .
