Notable French Allied Assault Near Villafranca Reversed
Detailed narrative recounts a fierce daytime and nighttime battle near Montleuze and Villafranca with 48 Grenadiers observed atop a battery, repeated assaults by Spanish forces, and heavy fighting that forced the French to defend entrenched positions. Despite enemy pressure, French troops from Saluce, Marine, Rietman, Bourgstorff and Tarantaise held key posts, repelling breaches and retaking batteries. Prisoners include Don Fernando Levan and several officers. Piedmontese forces ultimately abandoned the works and embarked for transfer, with news reaching Naples and other ports of departure and supply contingents.
