A Full and True ACCOUNT Of the Taking the City of Mentz, BY THE Imperial and Confederate ARMY.  
Licenced ano Entered according to Order.  
MENTZ being Attacked on the Sixth Instant by Four a Clock in the Morning, the Saxon and Hessian Troops mastered the Counterscarp two Hours sooner than, the Imperialists; but with the loss of a considerable Number of Men; the French springing a Mine in the midst of the Action, whereby several of the Hessians were blown up: But, nevertheless, after a very sharp Dispute, the Confederates made themselves Masters of all the Outworks, saving one small Fortress, which being Attacked and Won by some Sutler's, the Fifty French that were in it were all put to the Sword: And indeed, in the whole Action the Germans gave no Quarter. After this, the Confederates Entrenched, and maintained themselves in their Acquisitions. As to the Number of the Common Soldiers Killed and Wounded in this Action, we cannot as yet give an Account; But have the following List of the Officers: Colonel Geriz shot through the Body: General Souches wounded; General Wallis Dead; General Staremberg Wounded; both the Legs of Count Lomb●●g shot off; Colonel Schench twice Wounded; Colonel Butler twice Wounded; Major Lowestein Wounded through the Foot; Captain Mey Wounded in the Calf of the Leg; Captain Busch Wounded in the Body; Captain Schinck Wounded in the Arm; The Captains Valentyne, Mohn, and Cramer Dead; Lieutenant Freyberg and Heyxmar Wounded, and more other Officers. The Confederates being thus Masters of all the Outworks, fell to Batter the Walls incessantly, with between Twenty and Thirty Pieces of Cannon, in order to enlarge the Breach, though it was already so wide, that they could see plainly into the Streets. The 7th was employed by them in filling up the Ditches with Bavins, Woolpacks, and the like; and having on the Eighth made all the other necessary Preparations for a General Assault; the Confederates being recruited with Eight Thousand fresh Men under the Duke of Hanover, and General Chauvet; and the French, in Defence of their Outworks, having lost Fifteen Hundred of their Best Men, though the Garrison at first consisted of between Nine and Ten Thousand Men, The French Governor, the Marquis d' Vxelles despairing of being able to withstand a General Assault, hung out the White Flag on the Ninth, capitulated, and was surrendering; But as yet we are Strangers to the Conditions, though they writ, the Germans are so embittered against the French, that the General Officers will find it a hard matter to withhold them from cutting them to pieces. This City has been completely besieged no longer than Thirteen Days, and which is since the time that the Saxon Battery was ready.  
 
POSTSCRIPT.  
They writ us, That just upon the coming away of the Post from Holland, they had advice, that the Governor General of the Spanish Low-Countries had entered the French General Calvoes Retrenchments which the French had abandoned in such Disorder, that they had even left their Pots boiling; and a vast Quantity of Provisions. That another Spanish General, the Prince of Vaudemont, was out with a great Body of Men upon some considerable Design; and that the Marshal d'Humiers retreated before the Prince of Waldeck.
