A more full and impartial ACCOUNT Of the FIGHT between the Dutch and the French, AT FLERANS. Sent in a Letter by His Highness' Prince Waldeck, which is as followeth. Dated at Brussels 3 d. of July. High and mighty Lords, SINCE I gave myself this Honour to acquaint your Highness' Army and that of France; This is to let you know, that the Enemy having passed the Sambre, it was necessary for me to go and meet them to prevent their Designs; so I gave the Vanguard to Lieutenant General Wembenum, with a great Party of the Horse, and I myself followed with the Body of the Army to Melle, where I Encamped: The General Flodorffs having been afterwards Commanded towards Namur, with Orders to do his Duty with that Garrison; he brought word in his March, he perceived nigh Flerans our Enemy's Troops, and we had advice afterwards, that a great Body of their Army was in march, which obliged me to draw my Army up in Batallia. As for what passed that day, between to Monsieur the Pensionaire Heynsius; so that your Highnesses may be informed of him. When I perceived the Enemy was returned to their Camp the same Night, the 30th. of June, we rested all night, and ranged in Batallia; and it was thought fit the Army should be more advantageously posted than it was now, but having understood the next Morning, that the French had not changed their ground, we thought it not necessary to remove without knowing where the Enemies marched, who presently appeared, followed by the whole Army, which presently drawed up before that of your Highnessesses, and endeavoured to surround by marching along the Flank of our left Wing. We endeavoured wit all the care imaginable to shun it, and drawed some Troops from the Point of the Right Wing to reinforce the Flank and the Rear: The Prince of Larbruge, Monsieur D'hubuy the Spanish General, and the Prince of Birckenfolt with the Brigadeer, Commanded, that Wing whilst the Prince of Nassaw, Governor of Fri●●●nd, the Lieutenant General Aylva. Lieutenant General Webbynum, with their Brigadeer, Commanded the Right Wing, with the Body of the Battle; we entrusted Lieutenant General Delwich with the 〈◊〉 first Lines, which was seconded by his Brigadeer. The Count Flodorff was ready at call; we disposed of the Cannon and Baggage, the best way we thought fit. After which the Enemy both Foot and Horse poured upon our Left Wing, and upon the Flank with so much fury, that several Squadrons of the 2 first Lines were put into disorder, and had no sooner reinforced them, but the French attacked a fresh our Horse, which was supported by the Foot, who acted very Courageously; the Lieutenant General Hubuy, was detached from the Right Wing, to attack the Enemy in the Flank, which they did with so much success, that they brought off some of their Canon; but they being much more in Number than we, they poured upon us instantly with fresh Forces, which was vigorously suported 6 or 7 hours. After which having no more Horse to assist us, we were obliged to attack both their Horse and Foot, with our Foot only, who had so good Success, that the French daring no more to attack us. I retreated with 9 whole Regiments, amongst which were the Lieutenant General Ailva and Webbedum, and came to Niville, afterwards I brought them hither with four other Regiments, who joined us in the March. The two Princes of Nassaw, with several Regiments retired to Charle Roy, so that I cannot tell what Regiments remain; but according to the Report that is here, there be 20 yet in good condition, and several other indifferent, but not so bad, but that they may be quickly recruited: And your Highnessesses Forces have taken from the Enemy several Standards and Colours, of which I will give your Highnesses an Account, as well as of the Officers and Soldiers that are killed, so soon as I shall have an Account myself. We might have brought away some Canon from the Enemy with our Foot, had not our Horse failed us. I have done my Duty as much as my advanced Age would permit: I could not prevent this ill Fortune. I hope that God will for the future bless your Highness' Arms with Success, and that by a soon re-establishment of your Army and other Necessaries, may grant you a happy Campaign. We are making here a Body, with a design to fight them again, so soon as the Electoral Highness of Brandenburgh's Army shall arrive. Brussels, 3d. of July. G. F. P. V WALDECK ADVERTISEMENT.
