The New Hampshire Gazette

Regarding the great Rejoicings made here on Account of the late Victory obtained [by] the Duke of Cumberland [over the French], to entertain the Court, and in particular the King, highly pleased therewith, as from the great Defeat of our Army, there was great Reason to expect a great Rout of the Hanoverians. The strange Conduct of the Commanders of some Battalions, who so far mistook the Enemy as to fire on each other, is highly censured. We learn from good Hands, that two of our Regiments, one Swiss, were almost entirely destroyed by one another in the Fire, before the Mistake was discovered.
