[15] 'By yesterday's mail we have advice that Prince Ferdinand has continued his pursuit as far as Wetter; that Colonel Harvey, at the head of a body of about five hundred English dragoons, fell in with a large body of Frischer's corps, under the command of Frischer's brother; that Colonel Harvey attacked them sword in hand, killed a great number, and took between four and five hundred prisoners. It is said, that Colonel Harvey, upon coming up to the troops, and being saluted in a haughty manner by Frischer, drew his sword and killed him on the spot.'—Dublin Gazette.
