sooner observ'd their resolution but we began our retreat immediately and to make the more advantage of their mistake we retreated step by step very slowly faceing about ever and anon as if we would return to the charge When we came near that place in the False-Bray where the two holes were made for our coming out The two Brigades which appear'd so opportunely enter'd into it and at the same time we began to file off two and two to get in again as we got out but so as every rank discharg'd before they enter'd This made the Turks look upon it as an artifice to draw them into some ambuscade and they were the more gull'd into that opinion by observing the Brigades of S. Paul and Caderousse to disappear at the same time we drew off In so much as it may be truly asserted that this stratagem which cannot be attributed to any thing but the good conduct of Mr. Fueillade saved the lives of all of us that were left for it is cleer had the Turks charg'd us again but with their swords in their hands there had been scarce any of us alive But by good fortune and their diffidence we came safe into the Town where the pleasure we might have taken after we had escapt so many dangers was totally disturb'd by our sorrow for our loss having left near six score Gentlemen dead and wounded behind us in their Trenches whose heads were next day set up upon pikes before the Visiers quarter who above all the rest admired the head of the Marquis de Doradour for the delicacy of its tincture and the excellence of his haire which he had got tyed up in tresses the night before that it might give him no trouble in his charge He made that be set up upon a large Piller in the midst of all the rest after he had kept it several days to show it as a wonder to his friends Of six hunderd Gentlemen that arrived in Candy after this sally there remain'd not above 230 of which there were fifty at least wounded and sick most of which number are since dead The ensuing List will give you the names of the most considerable with the manner how they were killed or wounded either before the sally or in it A List of such persons of quality as were Slain or Wounded under the Command of Mr. Fueillade in his Expedition to Candy In the Brigade of Mr. S.

when orders were given out to all the Brigades to be ready the sixteenth by break of day they were so transported it was easily visible that Mr. Fueillade was not so much induc'd by reason to this enterprize as by a complyance and inclination to passion and precipitancy to which he was as much addicted as the rest of the young Nobility were about to be sacrificed However this resolution appear'd irrational and desperate to the Venetians it is to be believ'd the vigour and cheerfulnes wherewith our youngsters prepar'd themselves to execute it gave them some hopes the success might not be so fatal as was to be expected in reason seeing General Morosini gave them 100 men of the garrison which were disposed into the several Brigades and mounted several pieces of Canon on that side where the sally was to be made lining the wall with Musqueteers and all sorts of Granadoes which did much increase the slaughter of the enemy as I shall give you an account with as much exactuess as can be performed by the eyes of one single person Orders being given thorow our Brigades for a general assault on the 16 of December at break of day every one employ'd that evening in rectifying his conscience and in the night about two a clock they stood all to their armes at a rendevous appointed where new orders were immediately given out for the sally Our four Brigades and the 100 General Morosini lent us made up about 450 fighting men besides servants which march'd for the most part by their Masters sides having each of them a pair of pistols at their girdles and a kind of half pike in their hands with a long and very sharp iron at the end of it for their swords are but of little use against the Cymeters of the Turks who fear nothing but our fire armes which yet they manage with more dexterity then we especially their Musquets when they shoot from their works or have leasure to take their aime for ●●n those cases they seldom miss besides the meanest amongst them are so curious in their Musquets that the worst they have may compare with our best And for the half pikes I am speaking of they have so peculiar a dexterity in putting them by with a kind of buckler or target they use that 't is rare ●●ut the hand that forces it is upon the turning aside ●●ut of with their Cymeter We had no want of back or breast or head pieces nor of any other ●●ort of defensive armes of proof The Arsenals were full of them and every man had liberty to go in and choose but no body thought it convenient to make use of them by reason of the ditches and pits and ru●●es we were to pass over Some there were took Casques for their heads which they were forc'd to throw away when they came to ingage the great heat they were in not suffring them to endure them When our four Brigades had taken their posts in the place of Armes they were drawn out into three divisions The first consisted of five and thirty out of each Brigade which made up seven score men commanded by Mr. le Marquis de Chamilly with whom march'd Mr. Chapestan Captain Major of the Town as guide who had a particular knowledge of all the enemies quarters The second was of fifteen out of a Brigade making sixty in the whole which was commanded by Mr. Beauchevilliers Sub-Brigadier to Mr. S. Paul The third was of forty men being ten out of a Brigade which Mr. Marcell commanded There were near a hundred and fifty Gentleme●● in S. Paul's Brigade and in the 3 other about 〈◊〉 hundred a piece besides their servants so tha●● having drawn out of each Brigade sixty Gentlemen there remain'd no more then 90 in that of S. Paul and forty in each of the other which made up 210●● which were kept in a body as a reserve All things being in this Order we march●● toward Sabionera about two in the morning to fa●● down into the False-Bray where we were to hav●● lain on our bellys till break of day But our Officers met with no small trouble to put us in orde●● out of the Town for the Venetian having grea●● apprehensions of this ●ally instead of opening u●● a gate by which we might have more conveniently got to our appointed place and conceal'd ou●● selves till the morning had order'd two holes t●● be made on purpose in the wall of the False-Bray by which there could pass but one man at a time fo●● which reason we could get down but in files an●● one after another after this the three division●● were drawn up each of them with their fro●● towards the place they were to attacque and so dispos'd that they might fall on all at a time without incommoding one another at all The Brigade of Ville-Maur follow'd as a reserv●● to reinforce such as should be beaten back th●● rest which were kept as the maine reserve had order to continue behind near the False-Bray to secure their retreat in case of a repulse We were all in this posture upon our bellies in the False-Bray expecting morning with impatience and the signal which was a Granado to thrown towards the enemy when we found our ●●ves prevented For having got notice of our de●●n they had pointed all their Artillery towards 〈◊〉 place of our sally which began to thunder ●●on us with so great fury when we least expected ●●m that they kill'd two of our men with the 〈◊〉 of the wall they beat down upon us but the ●●atest inconvenience was their granadoes and fire●●s which they threw amongst us which con●in'd Mr. Fueillade to give the signal sooner then ●●s intended Mr. de Chamilly advanc'd first along ●he False●●ay and fell on upon their redoubts on that side ●●ere the breach was Beauchevillier fell on on ●●t side next the Sea and S. Marcell in the ●●ddle The Turks who expected us in their Tren●●s gave us immediatly so great volleys of shot 〈◊〉 so great quantity of Granadoes and other fire●●rks that we were as it were buried in flames a sudden which were the more terrible be●●se the smoak and the dust took away our sight 〈◊〉 the most horrour of all was from their Canon ●●ich they ply'd freely from all parts especially ●●m that where the Venetian the night before had ●●nted on purpose three ranks of great guns which ●●ved very much to our advantage and did great ●●cution upon the enemy After some resistance Mr. de Chamilly threw himself into their Trenches and having fallen upon ●●ir first redoubt he forc'd them to leave it Here ●●as at the entrance of this work the Marquis of ●●anes who was at the head of that party with Mr. de Chamilly and gave great testimony of his valour receiv'd two shots one in his lif● ey●● which pierc'd his head and came out a little abo●● his right eare the other about his temples on th●● same side where
