Event Details
An Account has been received that the Duke of Cumberland has sent his Baggage over the Weser, and was in hourly Expectation of being attacked by the French, who were distressed for Want of Provisions; and as there are Letters from Cologn of the 16th, which mention a Battle being fought on the 14th, and no Account of it had passed through that City for France, it is reasonably conjectured, that (if there has been an Engagement) it turn'd out in favour of his Royal Highness. But we are informed that our Court has received an Account of an Action; that by the last Express, all Things looked well, and that his Royal Highness was not removed from his Camp.
