Populaire passages
Pagina 195 - J'ai reçu la lettre que Votre Altesse m'a fait « l'honneur de m'écrire, ainsi que tous les papiers « qu'elle renfermait. L'opinion publique a tou« jours été la règle de ma conduite.
Pagina 391 - Lavingen, it being too late and the troops too much tired to pursue them far. I cannot say too much in praise of the Prince's good conduct and the bravery of his troops on this occasion.
Pagina 391 - Blenheim, which the enemy had intrenched and fortified, and where they made the greatest opposition, we obliged twenty-six battalions and twelve squadrons of dragoons to surrender themselves prisoners at discretion.

Pagina 115 - Il faut, monsieur, que vous n'ayez pas reçu une lettre que je me suis donné l'honneur de vous écrire , il ya environ deux mois, où je vous mandois...
Pagina 591 - I am very much obliged to you for the constant advices you give me, and particularly for your two long ciphers of the 4th and 14th January. You cannot say more to us of the supine negligence of the court of Vienna, with reference to your affairs, than we are sensible of every where else ; and certainly if the Duke of Savoy's good conduct and bravery at Verrue had not reduced the French to a very low ebb, the game must have been over before any help could come to you...
