25 Nov-2 Dec 1734:12,21,22 (475)
In our last Weeks Gazette No. 474 you have an account that
there had been an action in Italy, wherein the Allies were
defeated by the Germans and we shall now present our readers
with a further account of that engagement by an article from
the Hague of the 9th of October, viz. . . for in short, it
is not to be supposed, that General [Count Konnigsegg]
designed to content himself with a bare Camisado, or
Nocturnal Alarm;  No, his design was certainly to cut in
pieces every man of the French and Sardinian Army, from the
K___ of S___ to the meanest drummer.  But his advantages
were very short-lived;  they hardly lasted till noon . . .
