HERRINGS, BATTLE OF THE.--Vertot says that this battle, fought in 1429, received its name from the following ludicrous occasion. The Duc de Bourbon, in attempting to intercept a convoy on the road to the English Camp, before Orleans, was severely beaten. It was a convoy of salt-fish--and this action has ever since been called by the above name. HOCHKIRCHEN, BATTLE OF.--Between the Prussian army, commanded by Frederick II, and the Austrians, commanded by Count Daun. The King was surprised in his camp and defeated by the Imperial General. In this battle, an illustrious Scotsman, Field-Marshal Keith, in the service of Prussia, was killed; and such was the respect and admiration which his name inspired, that Counts Daun and Lacy, the Austrian Generals, shed tears on beholding the corpse, and ordered its interment with military honours. Fought, October 14th, 1758. HOCHENLINDEN, BATTLE OF.--Fought November 3rd, 1800, between the Austrian and French armies--the latter commanded by General Moreau.
