The New Hampshire Gazette

From two Letters by the Packet, dated the 11th of August (of very good Authority) we learn, That though Prince Ferdinand's whole Army, before his late Victory, consisted only of 48,000 Men; yet that great General, unknown to the Enemy, detached 20,000 Men, under the Hereditary Prince of Brunswick, to occupy a Particular Place, on the other Side of the Weser (where he thought the French must pass, if it pleased God to grant him Victory) with Orders, on that Event, to attack them a second Time.--That Matters being thus disposed, Prince Ferdinand, with the remaining 28,000 of his brave little Army, having ingeniously drawn the Enemy, much fatigued and harried, by Marches and Counter Marches, to the very Spot he had designed, immediately attacked their united Forces, and totally routed them, after a bloody Engagement of four Hours-- That upon this the French crossed the Weser on eight Bridges, which they instantly destroyed: but being unexpectedly, attacked by the Prince of Brunswick, they were again entirely defeated: though their Conflict was not so long, nor so bloody as that with Prince Ferdinand, they flying precipitately, expecting that Prince Ferdinand would cross the Weser after them--and put them between two Fires.
