“They then came

running on in their wild Manner; and

upon the Right, where His Royal Highness had placed him-

self, imagining the greatest Push would be there, they came down three several Times

within a Hundred Yards of our Men, Tiring their Pis-tols and brandishing their Swords but the Royals and

Pulteney’s hardly took their Firelocks from their Shoulders, so that after those faint Attempts they made off; and the

little Squadrons on our Right were sent to pursue them. General Hawley had, by the Help of

our Highlanders, beat down two, little Stone Walls, and came; in upon

the right Flank of their second

Line.”

“The right wing advanced first as the whole line did much

at the same time. The left wing did not attack the enemy, at lest did not

go in sword in hand, imagining they would be flank'd by a regiment of foot

and some horse, which the enemy brought up at that time from their second line or corps

de reserve. When the right wing were within pistol shot of the enemy, they received a most terrible fire

not only in front but also in flank, by reason of those who were posted near the stone walls, notwithstanding of

which they went in sword in hand, after giving their fire cross to the enemy and were received by them with their

spontoons and byonetts.”
