Sixteen years since, this rc giinent «as called in Daly Jhe 1 ernble , and it has well justified its name in this afGir, as by itself it successively attacked and over threw six Austrian i. gunciits.

They (hewed all their relentment a- the chiefs, for their errors into which they had led them, and their terror was very great at the fight of those ancient bands, whom they had been ac cuHomed to conbder as their uia(ters. In all these battles our lof* has been inconsiderable, in.com. pardon to that of the enemy, who bit many officers and gen erals, who were compelled to put themfeives in the van, to encourage their troops. The prince of Lichtenileiu, the gen. eral Lufignan, and feveial oth er ofliceis were wounded. The lots of the Aultrians in colonels and officers of inferior grade, is veiy conhderable.
