"SIR,
"Since my arrival here with the troops on Saturday, nothing particular has happened in this part.
"The day before yesterday the enemy attacked the post of Rouselaer, where Col. LINSINGHEN was cantoned, with one squadron of the Hanoverian regiment du corps, and two squadrons of the tenth regiment of light dragoons. They were, however, repulsed, with the loss of three pieces of cannon and two hundred men killed.
"Col. LINSINGHEN, thinking his post untenable without infantry, fell back in the evening to Thourout, and from thence to Bruges; but having received a reinforcement, he will again move forwards to Thourout. I am, &c.
(Signed)
"FREDERICK."
