We have received certain Advice that the Austrian Troops, and those of the Empire, lost a great Number of Men in the eight different Attacks which they made the 27th, 28th, and 29th of Sept. against the advanced posts of the army of Pr. Henry of Prussia. Among others we are assured, that out of the two regiments of cuirassiers, there remain but 300 men, all the rest having been killed or wounded. Thierheim and Old Wolfenbuttel's Regiments of Foot are almost destroyed. It is reported likewise, that Major General Baron de Butler, and the Count de Serbelloni, were killed there.
We must however acknowledge that our troops retreated and lost some posts; but what is most astonishing is, that they passed the Mulda in the face of the enemy, without being in the least molested by them; which is a certain proof that we could not have suffered so much as the Austrians would make the world believe. Gen. Haddick had formed a plan to drive the Prussians out of all Saxony, and made himself sure of success on account of his superiority over our army.
