between two and three hundred prifo· ners have been taken The Hanoverians have loft the fame number of cannon. Upon the 7th his royal highness fent two battalions of Heffians to genera Walmoden's fupport; but finding that aid to be ineffectual, he was reduced to the neceffity of collecting his whole force, by abandoning the polition h had taken near Duokirk. Thirty two of the heavy guns, and part of the fto e provided for the fieg, were left behind, there being no means of carrying them off. The army marched laft night, and encamped this morning near Adinkerque. The enemy had collected forces for this enterprize from every quarter, from the armies of the Rhine and the Mofelle, and particularly that which had occupied the camp de Cæsar. They were commanded by general Houchard, who is faid to have been mortally wounded at Rexpoede. Hereford, Sep. 13. The corn-harvest is now general in this neighbourhood, and many very fine fields of grain have heen cut down. The hop plantations are backward and unpromiting; but the fruit-trees difclofe a tolerable fhew of apples and pears. Gloucefter, Sep. 14. Our crops of grain in general are remarkably good in point of quality, and with respect to quantity there is no caufe for complaint. Our plantations for woad are extremely fine, There is a great confumption of this article among the dyers and callico printers, and fince the ftoppage of the importation of it from France, we have paid great attention to the culture of it and find few things that have a readier market, or that yield a better profit. In the retreat upon the night of the 6th, his royal highne's prince Adolphus and the field-marfhal were, for a short time, in the poffeffion of the enemy. A patrole of cavalry, which ought to have been in their front having taken another road, they went into the village of Rexpoede, through which one of the columns was to pafs, but which was then occupied by the enemy. His royal highness was flightly wounded with a fword upon the bead and arm; but I have the fatisfaction to fay, that no bad confequences are to be apprehended. The field-marhal was wounded in the head, and, I am happy to add, only in the fame degree. He has, however, been unable, fince that time, to take the command of the army. Captain Ouflar, one of his royal highnets's aids de camp, was killed, and another, captained Wangenheim, very feverely wounded. By a recent regulation of the meffengers, the two who are ftationed to wait on the duke of York, are to meet the others at Oltend, and from thence they are to convey the difpatches to his royal highnefs. The extenfive warehouses, building on both fides of the river below London bridge, are fecond only to thofe of the Eaft-India company.

Lieut. general Erskine commanded the rear guard, and much is due to his condruct and military skill.. We hear from Hambourg, that on 13th intt. the prince of Hohenloe received orders from the king of Pruffia to attack the French, who were entrenched with 25 pieces of cannon, behind Limbach, divided his corps, and took his meafures with fuck fuccefs, that the enemy Births and Marriages. enemy were repulfed, and driven beyond Biles, by Limbach; behind Limbach they rallied, and took a new pofition, where they defended themselves a confiderable time, but at length were again forced, compleatly routed and purfued as far as St. Imbert. Their lofs amounted to twelve officers and three hundred and thirty men killed, and 136 taken prifoners, with two pieces of cannon. The battalions of grenadiers and volunteers fuffered moft; the free com. pany of Metz was cut to pieces. The lofs of the Pruffians confifts of 40 men killed and wounded.
