Armies contest in Sars woods and Bougnies asumbles near action
The Sept 9 to 11 dispatches describe the Allied and French forces maneuvering near the Woods of Sars and the Bougnies camp. Marlborough and the Prince of Savoy push to engage after heavy cannonade, with both sides warily guiding troops and lines, while reports claim the French are driven from the woods and defeated by noon. News from Hague and Dublin note Swedish advance, King Augustus return, and cheer in Ireland over Villars defeat.
