In our last Gazette you had an account of the bloody battle
between the Imperialists and the French &c. and the great
booty that the Germans took from their enemy. Here follows
a more particular relation of that battle, as we have it in
a letter from Gualtalla, dated Sept. 18th in the words
following. [Long had the brave Count Koningsegg sought
revenge to the late Battle of Parma, and wished to give the
allies some desperate blow. He had made several attempts,
but was constantly betrayed]. . . ..The guards were doubled,
and notice was given, that no person should stir out of the
Camp without leave, the retreat was beat, as usual, that
they might hear it in the enemy's Camp; and the trumpets
having flourished as at other times, every-one retired. . .
.[An account of the battle is given in two columns]
