Excerpt: ...but the mareschal de Marsin produced an order, signed by the king, commanding them not to offer, but to wait for battle.(2) That order, with which the duke of Orleans was obliged to comply, hurt his pride, and confused the measures of the French generals; who, being of different opinions, disputed long, without coming to any fixed determination how to act. Meanwhile, prince Eugene, having made his dispositions, fell suddenly on their intrenchments; and, after an obstinate struggle of two hours, entered their camp, drove them from all their posts, and took their cannon, baggage, ammunition, and military chest. The duke of Orleans was slightly wounded, and the mareschal de Marsin mortally. The whole French army was routed and dispersed; and, although the number of the killed did not exceed three thousand, such was the terror of the fugitives, that they retreated immediately towards Pignerol, and made the best of their way into Dauphiny:(3) so that the house of Bourbon lost, at one blow, the dutchies of Milan and Mantua, the principality of Piedmont, and eventually the kingdom of Naples. The confederates, notwithstanding some unfavourable circumstances, were no less successful in Spain. The archduke Charles having established himself in that kingdom, during the winter, by the assistance of the English troops, under the earl of Peterborough, Philip V. and the mareschal de Tessti advanced against him in the spring, with an army of twenty thousand men; and obliged him to take shelter in Barcelona, which they besieged, while the (1) Voltaire, ubl nip.
