A Full and Perfect RELATION OF A Great and Signal Victory Gained by the English and Hollanders OVERDO THE FRENCH.  
Translated out of Dutch.  

Licenced,  
August 24. 1689.   
TWO such great Armies as those of the Prince of Waldeck, and of the Marshal D' Humieres being so nigh each other, as our late Relations have informed us, it could not well be expected they should be long in such a Posture without entering upon Action: And accordingly we have now an Account of a considerable Rencounter that happened between them, on the 25 of August, N. S. wherein the French were the Aggressors, but to their own loss, as you may see by the Letter which the Prince of Waldeck writ to the States-General, and which he sent them by an Express. The Letter is as follows:  
Highty and Mighty Lords,  
UPon the Advice we received this Morning, That the Marshal D' Humieres was upon his March with his whole Army, which within a few days had been Re enforced with Six Thousand Men, we fired some Pieces of Cannon, to intimate this motion to a great party of Your Lordship's Army, which was gone out to Forage: In the mean while the Vanguard of the Enemy attacked the Village Forge, where were Posted Eight Hundred Foot, to cover the Foragers; they were Commanded by the English Colonel Hodges, by lieutenant-colonel Goes, and by the Major of the Regiment of Hesse; this Attack lasted Two Hours, and our Men behaved themselves with an unexpressible Courage, until such time as that Monsieur Roose, Major of Horse, who had been sent to bring back the Lieutenant-Generals, Webbenum, Marlborough, and D'Hubi, with the Foragers came in to their Succours with some Gavalry; then our Men fought Retreating against the whole French Army which came pouring upon them, until that they came to a rising Ground near the little City of Walcour, where we had posted a Battalion of the Troops of Lunenburg, which was also Reinforced with another of Colonel Holle; The French attacked this City with the utmost fury during Two Hours and a half. Lieutenant-General Ailva advanced to Succour it, with Three Regiments, of which he had detached that of the Brigadier Talmusch: Lieutenant-General Marlborough followed with the English Horse Life-Guards, and Two English Regiments: Major-General Slangenburg advanced also with some Detachments of Foot on the other side of the Town, which caused the French to retire in such great confusion, that they abandoned their Canon and their Powder, with a vast number of Dead and Wounded, of whom we know not yet precisely the number. In this Occasion we took a great many Prisoners, of the number of whom are Three Captains of the Guards, and Monsieur D' Artignan, Commanding the Guards. After their Retreat, Two Drums came to demand of us a Suspension of Arms, for the carrying off their Dead and for the looking after their Wounded: They informed us, That Six Battalions of the Guards, who were present in this Action, were for the most part defeated. The loss on our side is not considerable, saving lieutenant-colonel Graham in the English Troops, and the Major of the Dragoons of Zell, who were killed; and a Captain and a Lieutenant, with some of our Foragers, who were snapped up by the Enemy; and there were but very few killed or wounded in the City. After that the French were Retreated, our Troops continued in their Posts till Night. The Count De Nassaw, Mareschal De Camp, and all the other Generals, and Officers behaved themselves extremely well in this Occasion: All the Soldiers showed extraordinary Courage, as well as Eagerness to be engaged with the Enemy. The Victory would not have stopped here, if we could have pursued the Enemy further; but the Situation of the Ground was an invincible Obstacle to the Pursuit. The English did more particularly Signalise themselves in this Action, having given singular Proofs of their Bravery. I congratulate your Lordships upon the good Success of this Encounter, hoping that God will further Bless your Arms after a more peculiar manner, as well as your Government. I am, etc.  
From the Camp near Thill. Chasteau, Aug. 25. 1689. very late at Night.  
At the bottom of this Letter which was made public by Order of the State, there is another from an Officer of the Army to one of his Friends, dated Friday morning on the 26th. of this Month S. N. It says, that they had been all the Night at their Arms, and that Prince Waldeck had spent the Night in his Coach, visiting the Camp, and giving the necessary Orders in this Conjuncture. That they were informed the Enemies had lost Two thousand Men. That at the moment this was writing they heard Firing, and that it was believed some Parties were again engaged. And that in short it was not doubted but that the French would seek to take their Revenge. It is observable that the English and French Guards were Engaged against each other, and that Fortune still continued to decide in favour of the former. The French Army is said to consist of 34000 Men.
