ON Thursday last arrived here the Heer Schravanmore Maistre de Camp General , who , next day , laid out the Ground for the Camp , which is close by the Town on the South-side .

On Saturday last arrived here the Count de Solmes , about Two in the Afternoon , and presently after there followed a Battalion of the Dutch Foot Guards , which immediately Encamped .

The Duke of Schomberg arrived here on Saturday about Ten a Clock at Night , and was received by the Mayor and Aldermen in their Scarlet , and all their Formalities , attended by the several Companies with their Flags carried before them . The Train'd Bands of this City met his Excellency at the Bars , and conducted him to his Lodgings at Alderman Mannerings , who came along with him from London . This day his Excellency , attended by the Count de Solmes , Lord Brandon Gerrard , the Governor of the City , and a great many others are gone to view the Ships which lie at Liverpool , High-Lake , and Nessen , for the Transportation of the Forces for Ireland .

On Thursday last arrived here , with much hazard and difficulty , several Passengers in a small Wherry , which left Dublin the Monday before . I can add but little to what you may have known already ; only that at Dublin , they say that very considerable Numbers of Protestants , with their Families , having setled themselves there , in hopes of being more safe , and less Exposed to the Insolencies of the French , and Irish Soldiers , than in the Countrey where the Danger threatens them on all hands : They have had the Misfortune to be obliged to remove , and go home to their Houses and Habitations in the Countrey , by Vertue of a Proclamation from the Late King , Commanding them , on severe Penalties , to repair to them ; which is look'd upon by them , as an Exposing of them to the mercy of the Rabble . They say that the Late King is so Exasperatcd at the Disappointment His Forces met with at London-Derry , That He is now resolved to have the last Push for 't ; And , to that Effect , has sent down a great quantity of Ladders , with Orders to scale the Walls , and take the Town that way if possible .

This day , and to morrow , 8000 Men are to Encamp here , which , with the 3 or 4000 at Whitehaven , are to be commanded by the Count de Solmes , and , with all Expedition , to be immediately shipt off for Loughfoyle , to join the Forces there under the Command of Major General Kirk . When these are gone , they say that 18 or 20000 Men more come in their room , who are to Encamp also ; these are to be commanded by General Schomberg himself , but whither and when they are to go , is not yet certainly known .
