The prince of Conti, in a letter to his princess which was intercepted, declared that he saw the prince of Orange exposing himself to the greatest dangers; and that such valour richly deserved the peaceable possession of the crown he wore.

Yet here, as in every other battle he fought, his conduct and disposition were severely censured.

Luxembourg having observed the nature of his situation immediately before the engagement, is said to have exclaimed, "Now I believe Waldeck is really dead;" alluding to that general's known sagacity in choosing ground for an encampment.

Be that as it will, he paid dear for his victory.

His loss in officers and men exceeded that of the allies; and he reaped no solid advantage from the battle.
