Fragmented London Gazette style update from 1700s
A chaotic wartime dispatch notes the surrender of Lille by capitulation with Ostend reports and a Dutch camp update. It describes powder seizures, officers disguised as peasants hanged without process, and messages from the Duke of Marlborough awaiting confirmation. Army movements and bombardment details are interwoven with Confederate signals near Rouffelaer.
