General Latour , who commands the army of the Siege , formed three of the battalions which happened to be just retunlTng from work , and retook the village of Sundheim , which he maintained , though the enemy made great efforts to dislodge him . Lieutenant-General Staader ( who commands the left wing ) drove back the enemy , who had advanced against the right of the second line of it , and retook the redoubt on the left of Sundheim r and the Prince of Orange , advancing between the two dykes , defeated the
column with which he had been so severely engaged , and recovered the redoubts it had carried . The enemy then retired into his entrenched camp . ' The loss of the Austrians amounted to forty officers , and about thirteen hundred men killed , wounded , and missing , which " , considering that not more than one half the left wing was engaged , is certainly considerable ; but the loss of the enemy must have been much greater . The ground round the works was in some parts covered with their dead bodies , and I am Atery ' much within bounds in stating their loss at two thousand men . During this time the French
