Sixteen batteries of the VIIth and VIIIth Corps accordingly drew up to right and left of the highway running through Gravelotte.

It became necessary to drive them out, so here again there was a sharp skirmish.
This play had but indifferent success, though esteemed by the author one of the best he ever wrote. Charles the VIIIth King of France, or the Invasion of Naples by the French; this play is written in heroic verse.

Among other discourse concerning long life, Sir J. Minnes saying that his great-grandfather was alive in Edward the Vth's time; my Lord Sandwich did tell us how few there have been of his family since King Harry the VIIIth; that is to say, the then Chiefe Justice, and his son the Lord Montagu, who was father to Sir Sidney, who was his father.
The mobilized forces were divided into three independent armies on a basis worked out by the general of the Prussian staff. The First Army, under the command of General von Steinmetz, consisted of the VIIth and VIIIth Corps, and one division of cavalry; 60,000 men all told. It was ordered to encamp at Wittlich and form the right wing.
So the firing was stopped; but not until ten o'clock did it entirely cease. The advance of the IId Corps resulted in some good, however, for these fresh troops could occupy the fighting-line for the night, while the mixed companies of the VIIth and VIIIth Corps were enabled to re-form in their rear.
