convoy, in which, 'taw% other thiegs, there were I
500 heed of cattle.. The garrison of 'Ptmox are I
masters of the country for six leagues 'round.—

cavalry.

of cannon. The cannonade began—the enemy was
forced to abandon-several positions, when General
Bletend was killed by a ball. The command de.
volved upon a Saxon Colonel. The troops, asto-
nished with the loss of their Chief, fell hack, and
after having defended themselves for half a day, in
the evening capitulated. The enemy thus made 700'
Saxon and 200 French prisoners. A part of the
prisoners have been retaken. The following day
