7 Oct 1757:13 (52[=53])
The following advices, dated June 22 were received from
Stutgard, the capital of the Duke of Wurtenberg, a
protestant Prince.
. . . [20 lines about a mutiny of the Duke's troops]
Nevertheless, these licentious young fellows sat up all
night, drinking, making a noise, and sometimes firing. This
morning they assembled, and having seized some of their
officers, marched out of Town, 3 or 400 together, with the
music of the regiment playing before them, the general
having begged them to go away peaceably, in God's name. In
this manner near 3000 of them filed off, and the remainder
have since been discharged. Thus our army has melted away
almost in a moment.
