sustaining a heavy loss in officers, men, and horses.

At length victory declared for the allies. Five battalions of the enemy,
including the commander-in-chief and the prince of Anhalt Cothen,
were taken, with six pieces of cannon, all their arms, baggage, and
artillery. During these transactions, the mareschal duke de Broglio
remained encamped on the heights of Corbach. He had, in advancing
from Franckfort, left detachments to reduce the castles of Marburg and
Dillembourg, which were occupied by the allies, and they fell into his
hands, the garrison of both being obliged to surrender prisoners of war.
These were but inconsiderable conquests; nor did the progress of the
French general equal the idea which had been formed of his talents and
activity. The count de St. Germain, who was his senior officer, and
believed by many to be at least his equal in capacity, having now joined
his corps to the grand army, and conceiving disgust at his being obliged
to serve under the duke de Broglio, relinquished his command, in which
he was succeeded by the chevalier de Muy. At the same time, the
marquis de Voyer and the count de Luc, two generals of experience and
reputation, quitted the army, and returned to France, actuated by the
same motives.

The allied army having moved their camp from Saxenhansen to the village

of July, when the troops were again put in motion. The chevalier de Muy,
having passed the Dymel at Stradtbergen, with the reserve of the French
army, amounting to thirty-five thousand men, extended this body down the
banks of the river, in order to cut off the communication of the allies
with Westphalia; while the duke de Broglio marched up with his main wing
to their camp at Kalle, and prince Xavier of Saxony, who commanded their
reserve on the left, advanced towards Cassel; prince Ferdinand, leaving
general Kielmansegge with a body of troops for the defence of the city,
decamped in the night of the thirtieth, and passed the Dymel without
loss between Gibenau and Dringleberg. The hereditary prince, who had
the preceding day passed the same river, in order to reinforce general
Sporcken, who was posted near Corbeke, now reconnoitred the position of
the enemy, and found them possessed of a very advantageous camp between
Warbourg and Ochsendorff. Prince Ferdinand having resolved to attack
them, ordered the he
