Whitehall, March 6. by way of Holland, a courier dispatched
from Hanover on Wednesday the 1st instant, who brings the
following account: . . .
The Prussian hussars of the advanced guard, having received
information, that a great number of French hussars of
Poleretsky's regiment was at Nord Drebber, determined to
drive them from there; which resolution they executed so
successfully, that after the slaughter of three officers,
and fifty hussars, they made the colonel Poleretsky, (who is
dangerously wounded) with two captains, two lieutenants, and
130 hussars, prisoners of war; and took besides, ten
standards, a pair of kettle-drums, and three hundred horses.
