Observator in London, Middlesex

Battle Narrative Of Marlborough And Baden Forces

A lively observer report recalls a campaign where 850 foot and 32 squadrons under the Duke of Marlborough and Prince Lewis of Baden attack Count d Arco’s entrenchments. They rout 8000 French and Bavarian troops, seize cannon and tents, and force a retreat while discussing Prince Eugene’s fate and future reinforcements. The speaker lauds divine aid and the king’s fast proclamation as encouragement, and notes ongoing secret expeditions and European anxiety over the war’s outcome.
