As it came in a LETTER from the Duke de Navailles the French General With a LIST of the SLAIN and WOVNDED In the SAVOY Printed by Tho. Newcomb 1669. An Exact Account Of the late Engagement between the French King 's Forces and those of the Grand Seignior before Candia on the 25th of June 1669. THe Fleet appointed for the Transportation of the Succors sent by His Most Christian Majesty for the Relief of Candia under the Command of the Duke de Navailles General of the Land-Forces set Sail from Thoulon the Fifth of June 1669 about 4 in the Afternoon The 17th following they were joyned by 14 Venetian Ships having on board them Horses c. for that Expedition and came all to an Anchor in the Bay of this City the 19th where His Majesties Fleet receiving the usual Salutes from the Town answered them by the Admiral only The Duke de Beaufort the Duke de Navailles Monsieur Colbert Brother of the Minister of State and other Officers of the Army Embarked themselves in a Chaloupe to discover the Enemies Posts which as to the Scituation of their Camp at the Sabionera and St. Andre they found to agree with the Draught sent thence to the Cou●t the April before Save only that the Enemy had made some advance especially towards the side of the Bastion St. Andre of which indeed they were now become Masters and had raised a Battery of two Pieces of Canon to annoy all Vessels passing in or out of the Port. Whil'st they were thus Viewing and considering the Place they could perceive a small Barke with Venetian Colours come from the Port and make towards the Fleet which it seems had on board her the Sieur Castellan Kinsman to him that Commands a Brigade in the Army and now employed as an Engineer especially of late for the Defence of the Bastion of the Sabionera He was sent by the Captain General of the Republick to Complement the Admiral the Duke de Navailles and the rest of the Officers of the Army in the Name of the Garrison and to inform them of the true state of the Place and the extremity it was reduced to bringing also with him a Design of the same for better Demonstration He freely declared They had no other hopes of Preserving the Place but the Expectation of these Succors and that he had express Orders from the Captain-General to desire 3000 Men to Mount the Guard that very night lest the Enemy upon their Arrival should resolve upon a General Assault and carry the place before their Forces could come a shore This did a little surprize the Duke de Navalleis who was loath to adventure the Landing of part of his Men and therefore thought best that himself and some of the Principal Officers of his Army should first take a view of the Town that night and afterwards as he saw occasion take care for the Landing his Men. This he Communicated to the Admirall and accordingly about 11 of the Clock with Monsieur de Champ and some other Officers went on board the same Barque that brought Monsieur Castellan for his more particular information On the Morrow morning being the 21th The Duke de Navailles having well weighed all things and finding the State of the Place to be no better then what Monsieur Castellan had reported The Enemy entrenched their Cannon mounted upon the Bastion St. Andre whence they played continually upon the first Retrenchments which there being little ground left was not in a Condition to make any considerable defence and that the second Retrenchment which the besieged had begun to cast up behind it could not possibly be finished time enough to prevent their gaining a mine which he was assured was underneath the first Retrenchment of which if the Enemy were once possessed the whole place would lye open to them and endanger the loss of the Garrison This he thought might reflect upon the honor of the Armes of the King his Master that the place should be taken in sight of the succors without attempting something towards its relief the Admirall concurring with him in the same opinion they resolved upon a speedy Landing of all their forces which they began to put in Execution that very night so that in 2 or 3 dayes they had all their men ashore The 22d 4 of the Kings Musquetiers and a Quartermaster of Horse who had orders to goe and provide quarters in the Town adventuring to enter the Port by day 3 of the Musquetiers were killed by the Enemies Canon from the Bastion of St. Andre and the Quartermaster at the same time lost one of his hands The 23d the Admirall entred the Towne and viewed the Posts the Generals calling a Councell of Officers concluded there was no other expedient for the preserving the Town then by a Generall assault immediately to be made upon the Enemy before they could receive any recruits from Morea or fortify themselves in their Trenches Moreover by this means they might surprize them are they could gather their Cavalry together which was now dismounted and dispersed up and down the Countrey These considerations confirmed the resolution of the assault which was to be made upon the Sabionera side as having a greater convenience of sallying out of that quarter then that of St. Andre and accordingly on the 24th at night or the 25th by break of day endeavor to beat the Enemy from their works and to raise them This was the opinion of our Generall and Officers and approved of by the Venetians It was thought nevertheless too great an undertaking for our strength alone being from all hands informed the Enemy had 7 or 8000 men in that quarter wherefore he required of the Captain Generall to furnish us with all the men he possibly could The great desire our Generall had to prosecute this designe in order to the saving of the place and the confidence he had of his owne Forces with their promise of a supply encouraged him to set upon the Sabionera though it were entrenched and of greater strength then the body wherewith he intended to attempt it And therefore desired the Captain Generall to assigne him 5 or 600 Pyoneers to slight the Enemies workes and nayle down their Cannon and that at the same time a brisk sally might be made upon the side of the St. Andre to keep them in play there that they might not succor the Sabionera All which the Captain Generall promised punctually to performe The Admirall also who would needs have a part in this Action ingaged to land 1500 of his men from his Ships and to lead them himself though he submitted to receive orders from the Generals Monsieur Colbert being appoynted his Marshall of the Camp and to cause his men of war to be brought within Musquet shott of St. Andre and to

of a small troop of horse he had newly rallyed together maintained a Curtaine that favoured our retreat the Enemy had prevailed upon this disorder to our very great disadvantage In the mean time the body of the Reserve was surrounded with several Companies powred in upon them from St. Andre between whom there was a slight skirmish but of no long continuance which our men not being able to sustaine though infinitely Encouraged thereunto by the Messieurs le Bret and Choyseul who had both their horses killed under them Followed the Example of the Seamen and made a disorderly retreat This compleated the loss of that Advantage we so long had in our hands and the Enemy fearing our retreat might betray them into an Ambush had not Courage enough to pursue retaining still such a dread of our forces though retreated in disorder that our Generall assisted only by the Messieurs Tulladet and Argellon and 4 or 5 Gentlemen of his own family that never deserted him made good so orderly a retreat that the Enemy durst not attempt this small number but discharging a great volley of small shot upon them our Generals horse was hurt in two places and himself received a shot on his Armor but without hurt to his body The Admirall the Duke de Beaufort abandoned by all his men fell in this action without any person about him but what were killed or wounded among the former was Monsieur Bourgneuf the later Monsieur Hoquette who had his Foot shot off at the Ancle by a Musquet bullet This glorious Action So happily begun and carryed on with that excellent conduct however unfortunate in the disorder might nevertheless have been esteemed a succesfull and advantagious enterprize were it not for the invaluable loss of our Admiral and those other Noble persons that fell with him The advice from the Enemies Camp speaks the loss on their side to have been very considerable above 1800 men having been killed drowned and taken Prisoners A Particular List of the Slain and Wounded Principal Officers Slain THe Duke de Beaufort Admiral of France The Sieur de Rozan brother to the Marquiss Blanquefort Master of the Camp Marquis de Fabert Master of the Camp Monsieur de Bourgneuf Ayde de Camp Principal Officers and Persons of note wounded Monsieur Castellan dangerously Monsieur Lignieres Mareshal of the Camp dangerously Monsieur Molier Captain of the Cavalry The Chevalier de Bouillon Monsieur Montaigue Colonel Monsieur de Cauuisson Monsieur le Gaure Marquiss d'Uxelles Ayde de Camp Monsieur de la Hoquette Ayde de Camp Monsieur de Montbrun not St. Andre Montbrun Vicount de Casse 3 wounds on the head with a Cimitar Du Cles Captain of the Duke de Navailles Guards wounded with an Arrow in his head Mr. de la Moche d'Origni Engineer The Little Chevalier de Vendosme received 3 shots in his Armor the Bullets of two pierced to his very Shirt without hurting him Officers in the several Regiments killed and Wounded In Monsieur Castellan's Brigade of Foot 1 Captain 1 Lieutenant Monsieur Guenengau Voluntier killed 1 Ensign wounded In Mr. de Rozans Regiment 1 Lieutenant wounded In Mr. de Grances Regimen● 1 Major 1 Lieutenant killed 1 Captain 1 Lieutenant hurt In Monsieur de Jonzac's Regim●●t 1 Major killed 1 Lieutenant Colonel 1 Captain 3 Lieutenants ●u●t In Monsieur de Vendosmes Regiment 1 Lieutenant killed 1 Major 1 Captain hurt In Monsieur St. Valier's Regiment 2 Captains killed Monsieur St. Valier 1 Major 2 Captains 2 Lieutenants hurt In Mr. de Montpeyroux's Regiment 1 Lieutenant hurt In Monsieur Dampiers's Regiment 4 Captains hurt In Monsieur de Harcourt's Regiment 1 Captain 1 Lieutenant killed 5 Captains 2 Lieutenants hurt In Monsieur de Conty's Regiment 1 Lieutenant killed 1 Captain hurt Reformed Officers In the Navarre Brigade 1 Lieutenant killed In the Lorrain Brigade 2 Majors 〈◊〉 Captain killed 3 Captains 2 L●●●●●nants hurt In the Bretagne Brigade 1 Captain killed 1 Collonel 1 Captain 1 Lieutenant hurt In the Piedmont Brigade 2 Captains 1 Lieutenant killed In the Brigade of Normandy 3 Captains 1 Lieutenant killed In the Brigade of Picardy 4 Captains 5 Lieutenants killed Horse In Monsieur de Choyseul's Brigade 3 Captains 3 Lieutenants hurt In Monsieur de St. Esteue's 1 Captain 1 Lieutenant hurt In Monsieur de Sommieures 2 Lieutenants killed 2 Lieutenants hurt Private Soldiers killed and wounded 5 or 600 Men besides Prisoners Of the Enemy were killed drowned and taken Prisoners about 1800.
