Incursion into Tertohlen District and Doway Siege News
Reports detail Allied sortie of 30 squadrons led by Lieutenant General Wittinghof from Seclin on Aug 26 marching toward Brussels to cut off the enemy retreat. Cavalry fatigue prompts return to Anderlecht. Besieging forces at Doway suffer from inundation and scarce forage while garrison resists. Letters from Paris and Ghent note bombardments, rearguards, and preparations as Staremberg moves to counter.
