On Tuesday the 5th instant 500 men attacked the Hessian piquet guard near Brunswick, drove them in, took 11 milch cows, 2 horses, and brought off 15-20 loads of hay, which those mercenaries had stacked up within their lines. After the Hessians ran, a number of the light horse came out, drew their swords, and cut a few capers, but did not choose to disturb our men, whom they say very leisurely take away the hay. |
