The New Hampshire Gazette

The following Advices, dated June 22, were received from Stutgard, the Capital of the Duke of Wurtemberg, a Protestant Prince.

"4000 out of 6000 of the Troops of our most serene Duke, were, on the 24th, delivered to a French Commissary, who immediately reviewed them. Scarce was the Review finished when the Soldiers began to mutter, and say aloud, We are sold. Next morning they deserted at once. The thing did not stop here: They were followed by many more. Bands of 20 and 30 forced their way thro' the Detachment that guarded the Gates. In the Evening the Mutiny became general. They fired upon the Officers in the Barracks, and even bearded the General, and Field Officers. Some called to the General, that if he did not immediately withdraw from before the Barracks, they would bring him from his Horse with Musket Balls. Meanwhile, some Officers having pursued the Deserters, bro't back a part of them Prisoners. The Mutineers, being informed thereof, declared, that if they were not immediately set at Liberty, they would set fire to the Barracks and Townhouse. Lest they should carry their Threats into Execution, the Prisoners were released late in the Evening. Nevertheless, these licentious young Fellows sat up all Night, drinking, making a Noise, and sometimes firing. This Morning they assembled, and bayoneted some of their Officers, marched out of Town, together, with the Music of the Regiments playing them, the General having begged them to go away in God's Name. In this Manner near 3000 got off, and the Remainder have since been discharged: our Army has melted away almost in a Moment."
