262 The Monthly Catalogue for May, 1757. before diftinguished himfelf in fo fignal a manner in former campaigns, and last year at the battle of Lowofitz; in this action gave fresh proofs of that kill and courage, which will tranfmit his name to pofterity. According to the Auftrian account of this engagement, the Pruffian army was at least 20,000, and theirs not above 14,000; and their lofs was in the whole but 874 men killed, wounded, and taken prifoners. By the laft advices from Bohemia we have an account, that by the 6th inftant the feveral detachments of Auftrians had rejoined their grand army under prince Charles of Lorrain and marshal Brown, in a strong camp to the north of Prague; and that all the Pruffian armies had likewife approached very near to one another, and also very near to the enemy, having the preceding day thrown feveral bridges over the Moldaw *, as a preparative for an attack. Accordingly, on the 6th in the morning, the king joined the body of the army commanded by marthai Schwerin, with a detachment from his own corps, and refolved to attack the enemy the fame day. Marshal Brown was incamped with his left wing guarded by the mountains of Zifcka, and the right extended as far as Herbololi. It having been refolved to attack the ene my in their camp, the king's army filed off on the left by Potfchernitz, in order to execute this defign. Upon this motion of our troops, count Brown turned about to the right to avoid being flanked. The Pruffians continued their march to Bichowitz, tra. verfing feveral defiles and moraffes, which for a little while feparated the infantry from the rest of the army. The infantry having begun the attack with too much precipita tion, were at first repulfed. Here that worthy general, marhat Schwerin, received a fatal fhot, which killed him on the spot, while he held the colours in his hand. The infantry, which had been feparated in the march, being now rejoined, made a fresh attack on the enemy's right wing, and entirely routed it. Our cavalry on the left, after three charges, obliged all the Auftrian cavalry in their right wing to retire in great confufion. The troops in our center then totally routed that of the enemy. The left wing of the Pruffian army immediately marched towards Micheley, and being there joined with the horfe, renewed their attack on the Auftrians retreating towards Safzawa. Our troops on the right attacked the remains of the left wing of the Auftrian army, and made themfelves mafters of three batteries. Fut the behaviour of the infantry in this latter attack was fo fuccefsful, as to leave very little for this part of the cavalry to do. Prince Henry and the duke of Bevern, who have done wonders, made themfeives mafters of two batteries. Prince Ferdinand of Brunfwick having taken the Auftrians left wing in flank, whilst the king, with his eft, and a body of cavalry, fecured the paffage of the Moldaw, the Auftrian infantry was obliged to retreat towards Prague, by way of Konigfal; but marshal Keith, with a body of Pruffians, obftru&ted and harraffed them in this paffage. The number of prifoners we have taken on this occafion, is above 4000, of which 30 are officers. We have taken fixty pieces of cannon, and ten standards. Our lofs amounts to about 2500 killed, and about 3000 wounded. General d'Amftel, the prince of Holftein-Beck, colonel of the regiment of foot of Wortenburg, col. Goltze, col. Manftein, and lieut. col. Rohe, are killed. Generals Winterfield, de la Mothe, Feuque, and Hautcharmoy, are wounded; as are alfo the generals Blankenfee and Plettenberg, of the cavalry. Col. de Putkammer, who was fent in purfuit of the enemy on the fide of Benifchau, hath acquainted us, that the Auftrians are totally defeated and scattered, that he was pursuing fome parties of them which fled towards Budweis, and had already taken many prifoners.
