Next here follows a more particular account of the Second
Battle between the same enemies which happened on the 19th
of September, viz. Mantua, Sept. 24. We have here the
following particulars of the Battle fought the 19th near
Guastalla. . .
Paris, Oct. 6. By our last account from Italy the Battle of
the 19th past was very bloody; for during the combat,
wherein the enemy had between 12 and 13000 kill'd and
wounded, they sent away 200 waggons full of wounded men, but
towards the end, being press'd too closely, were oblig'd to
leave 900 wounded in the field, whom our General had remov'd
in order to be taken care of. We reckon between 6 and 7000
killed and wounded on our side. After the Battle, the enemy
intrench'd themselves on the banks of the Po, over-against
Burgo Fort, where they have a bridge to retire over into
Mantua in case of occasion.
On the 3d Te Deum was sung in the Church of Notre Dame for
the signal victory in Italy.
