Cleves, June 28. We have received the particulars that may
be depended on in regard to the late battle. Before Prince
Ferdinand gave the order for attacking, he lifted up his
eyes to heaven, for near a minute, and then drawing his
sword said, " Brethren, you have a good cause, put your
trust in providence, you see God is with us, the wind is
changed, and is now on our side." On the field of battle
there were found two uniforms with the ensigns of the Order
of the Holy Ghost, nine pieces of cannon, eight 4 pounders,
seven standards, two pair of kettle-drums, and 22 officers
of distinction have been taken in the pursuit. . . [8 more
