We bawe jufl received the following authentick Relation of the
Altien at Lowojchutz, on the firff Irflant, between bis
Majefly’s Army and that of the Aufirians.
ON the 28th of September the King set out from his
Camp at Sedlitz, and joined his army in Bohemia,
which he had sent forward under the command of Marthal
Keith, in order to take poffeflion of and secure the passes
into Bohemia. This army was encamped near Auffig, and
confiited only of 25000 men, becaufle the King had been
obliged to leave the main body of his tlioops in the reigh
bourhood of Pirna, in order to keep the Saxon camp block
ed up. The Kingupon his arrival, resolved to march for
ward. He formed a vanguard of eight battaiions, ten
squadrons of dragoons, and eight of hussars. He put himfe!f
at the head of this body, and marched to Tournitz ; and
ordered his army to follow him in two columns, the one by
the way of Profcobot, and the othier by the fame way his
vanguard had taken. From Tournitz he marched, with
his van, towards Welmina, where he arrived that evening,
an hour brfore {unfet. There he saw the Austrian army,
with its right wing at Lowolchutz, and its left towards the
Egra. That very evening, the King himfelf, occupied
with fix battalions, a hollow, and some rising grounds,which
commanded Lowofchuiz, and which he resolved to make
ule of, the next day, in order to march out againit the
Aultrians. The Army arrived, in the night, at Welmiaia,
where the King only formed his battalions behind one aro
ther, and the f{quadrons in the fame Manner, which re
mained, all night; in this position ; the King himfelf set
ting up all night,and having no other covering but his cleak,
befare a little fire, at the head of his troops. On the 1l of
Oltober, at break of day, he took with him his principal
general officers, and thewed them the ground which he
intended to occupy with his army, viz the infantry, form
ing the firlt line, to occupy two hills, at the bottom betwixt
them, some battalions to form the second line ; and the
third, to be compoled of the whcle cavalry.
The King made all poflible dispatch in duly strengthen.

the right poffefled themfeives .of their polt, and took all
their precautions in order to fecare it effe@ually ; whill
the lefc was forming, it fell immediately into an engage

diers, who were poited in vineyards, inclofed with fone
walls, We advaaced up in this manger, till we came to
the declivity of the hli towards the enemy, from whence
we saw the town of Lowofchutz filled with a great Body
of infantry, and a large battery of 12-picces of cannoan be
fore-it, and the cavalry form’d chequerwife, and in a line
between Lowofchutz and the village of Sanfchitz. There
being a thick fog, this was all that could be perceiv'd
The King {ent to reconnoitre ; and the reports confirmed
all that had been judg’d of the enemy’s position. After
the King had found, that the battalions were poflfefied of
that hollow, in the manner he had ordered it, he thought
that the firlt thing to be done, was to drive back the ene
