M. Daun's head-quarters, near Dresden, Nov. 22. On the
20th, a body of the Enemy, consisting of between 17 and
20,000 men, having advanced to Mazen, with a design to get
round the Imperial Army, they were attacked on three sides
at once. . . [19 lines] General Finck, who commanded in
Chief, was obliged to surrender prisoner of war, with all
his men. General Wuncsch acceded to the capitulation, after
a last vain effort, with three regiments of horse, to break
through the Imperial posts that surrounded them. Thus we
[the French] have taken from the Prussians, without almost
any effusion of blood, 18 battalions, 25 squadrons, 9
generals, 64 pieces of cannon, above 50 pair of colours, 25
standards, 3 pair of silver kettle drums, many tents,
baggage, &c.
