[Foreign Affairs; report from Ohre] Yesterday morning the
28th, 4 regiments of the Russian dragoons and 3 of foot
marched out of the retrenchment, with musick playing before
them: on the right wing were 5 pieces of cannon; as soon as
prayers were over, they made three running fires. . . [25
lines]
All the officers that were in the attack, had the same
regimental cloathing; but a person was found among the dead,
who had an olive coloured westcoat richly laced with silver;
the French were very eager to see their dead and prisoners;
and a drum sent by them enquired principally after one Capt.
Plelo, who had a yellow silk wastecoat, laced with silver,
having, to prevent mistakes, a written note of his name, and
the description of his cloaths.
