He acted with distinction at the sieges of M e nin, Furnes, and Ypres, and received a dan gerons wound in the trenches before Friburg. At the battle of Fontenoy he commanded the rear-guard, and much contributed to the victory by his attack on the English column. In the same year he took several towns in Flanders; and after the campaign was over, was decorated by the king with the collar of his orders. In 1747, be attained the summit of his glory as a besieging general, by making a'sweep of all the remaining strong towns of Flanders, con.
