In that period, I would have certainly expected most composers to be using slurs. Mozart certainly was, as evidenced by lots of his manuscripts. Gardner Read (page 265) says that they were commonly used in 17th and 18th century music, placing them over two notes of short duration to indicate accentuation. He also says that it was commonly used in the eighteenth century to indicate legato.
