A TRUE ACCOUNT OF A Great Engagement Between The Germans and the French. On the Fourteenth of March, 1689.  
FRom Elsen near Nuis upon the Rhine, 'tis Related, That the French who kept Garrison in Nuis, having given Orders for the Boors to be Ready with their Wagons and Carts on the twelfth of March, to carry two thousand Measures of Rye to Keyserswert under a Convoy of Horse and Foot, gave Occasion to some Brandenburg Troops (who had notice thereof) to place themselves in Ambuscade between Ordingen and Lein, where they continued undiscovered till the French fell in among 'em, whom they immediately Charged with a Bravery the French Convoy could not resist; their Horse being routed, five Companies of Foot threw down their Arms, and were made Prisoners of War. The loss sustained by the French, in Money and other Things of value, is very considerable; Major Lion, who Commanded this Convoy, losing five thousand Crowns in Specie for his part.  
An Account of this Defeat being brought to the Marquis de Sourdis, and the Sieur de Bartillac, General Officers of the French Troops in this Diocese, they presently gathered all the Force they could, in hopes to overpower the Brandenburgers, (who were Commanded by General Barfus) and recover the Booty; But the Brandenburgers, who were reinforced by another Detachment that was advanced to sustain those in Ambuscade, Behaved themselves so well, that very few of the French escaped, they being surrounded on all sides, and Charged by the Brandenburgers with the greatest Fury imaginable; insomuch that 2000 French were killed upon the place, besides a great number of Prisoners, among the first is the Sieur de Bartillac, the Marquis de Sourdis escaped with great difficulty with about twelve or fifteen Horse. This happy Expedition has obliged the French to quit all the Places they held in the lower Diocese, excepting Rhineberg, and Keyserswert, and retire to Bon.  
This little Place as well as Sibourg and Grosenbrouck are of the number, and we do not hear the French upon Evacuating the the Places beforementioned, committed those Outrages we might with reason have apprehended. General Barfus hath Posted himself in Nuis, and making Preparations for to drive the Enemy out of Wesein, Zoest, Artenberg, and other Places, that as yet remain in the Electorat, and to Block up Bon if they pretend to resist.
