All is consternation here, and most people are packing off. The late battles we have had in Flanders on the river Sambre, are most dreadful—no time to rest—every day and night the French are attacking us; our troops are exhausted—the sight of the wounded which have passed under my window these several days past, is most distressing.
We imagine that Ypres has capitulated: in this town there are two hundred pieces of cannon, and from 6000 to 7000 men. All the French are going off in great haste.
