20 May 1742:22,23 (701)
Prague, Feb. 15. By letters from Piseck of the 4th we have
receiv'd the following account of a skirmish with the
Austrians between Wolen and Wimberg. . . [13 lines] In the
mean time the officer who commanded the enemy's detachment,
sent a trumpeter to summon the French Commandant to
surrender; but the latter would not let him enter the
Church-yard [where they were camped.] The trumpeter having
been so obstinate as to attempt to get in by force, receiv'd
several musket-shot; upon which the enemy attack'd our
detachment very briskly. . .
