June 28. Letters from Italy advise, that Count Konigsegg
has escaped out of the hand of the Allies, by the
disposition he had made of his troops near Goito, as if he
intended to stand a battle, while his infantry, with the
artillery and part of his cavalry, file off towards the
Trentine, and gained a day's march . . . [12 lines, Marshal
Noailles took the camp the next morning] and took between 5
and 600 prisoners; but they were all sick men, whom Count
Konigsegg had not time to carry off, except a few trumpets
and drums, left behind to make a noise as if the army was
still there. . .
