and at the same time to view the river to make a bridge. At our returning, we met the general with duke Wirtemberg, etc., and went back with them to this castle again, over against which the generals concluded to make a bridge under the favour of our cannon. This seemed to be resolved on, having at our coming back to the camp ordered colonel Goor to keep still in readiness the sixteen field-pieces and the pontoons, to march with the close of the evening to Castle-Connell, but this before night was counter-ordered by the general. At eight this night we fired all our cannon three times for the victory obtained against the Turks on the Danube.
