Plan and Dragoons Besieged in Bohemia Amid Allied Movements
From the Austrian Camp at Haid in Bohemia on Sept 23 we report French forces surprized Plan and captured its garrison, while a small dragoon detachment under Colonel Lobkowitz was also taken. The action opens a path for Marshal Maillebois’s army. estimates place the allied force around 50,000 as of Prague dispatches. Elsewhere Genoa notes an English man of war arriving with booty from Cadiz and privateers taking a French tartane near the Canaries, stoking fears of further raids as English naval strength grows.
