Besieged at Doway Press Forward With Lodgments and Saps
From the camp before Doway on June 9 our troops report strong progress on both the right and left attacks. Lodgments reached the Glacis and Counterscarp of the second work, with saps advancing toward the palisades. A new battery of cannon and mortars is raised to drive traverses, while the enemy remains in their camp. News from Hague and London detail French plenipotentiaries seeking renewal of talks, army movements, and desersions, as well as naval reports of Swedish and Danish convoys and privateers.
