A
Perticular
ACCOUNT
OF
THE
Defeat
of
the
Rebbels
At
WISBICH
in
the
Isle
of
Ely.
By
His
Majesties
Forces
yesterday
Morning
,
with
the
number
of
the
Captains
,
Lieutenants
,
Ensigns
,
&c.
taken
Prisoners
,
with
their
Cannon
and
Ammunition
,
&c.
SUch
was
the
Villany
of
a
great
part
of
this
Rebellious
Regiment
(
late
the
Lord
Dunbarton's
)
that
notwithstanding
his
Majesty's
Princely
Care
,
in
sending
them
1300
Guineas
for
Advance
Money
,
and
to
pay
off
their
Arrears
,
and
the
great
Civility
shew'd
them
by
their
Collonel
and
other
Officers
,
nothing
could
take
them
off
from
their
intended
Revolt
and
Rebellion
,
the
manner
of
which
an
Account
has
been
already
given
,
and
since
our
last
they
continued
in
a
Body
,
taking
their
Way
towards
Cambridgeshire
,
to
endeavour
to
get
into
the
Northern
Road
;
but
as
they
began
their
March
,
one
of
the
Ammunition
Waggons
with
Powder
,
blew
up
,
killed
One
,
and
hurt
some
others
.
The
First
Night
they
reached
Stow
Market
,
and
lay
in
the
Church
:
But
his
Majesty
having
an
immediate
Account
of
this
their
rebellious
Proceedings
,
forthwith
dispatched
Three
Regiments
of
Horse
,
and
one
of
Dragoons
,
with
Instructions
,
if
they
refused
to
surrender
at
Discretion
,
to
fall
on
and
reduce
them
by
Force
,
who
were
so
expeditious
in
the
Undertaking
,
that
on
Tuesday
Evening
they
arrived
at
St.
Ives
,
and
there
understanding
,
that
they
were
marched
from
Mildenhall
and
retired
to
Wisbich
in
the
Isle
of
Ely
;
Count
Solmes
,
Commander
in
Chief
of
his
Majesty's
Forces
,
sent
Marshal
Schomberg
an
Express
,
That
he
was
advanced
within
some
few
Miles
of
the
Rebels
;
which
,
tho
they
had
got
themselves
into
a
Fastness
almost
impassible
for
Horse
,
being
a
Fenny
Conntry
;
and
had
planted
their
Cannon
upon
a
Causeway
,
where
they
must
approach
,
yet
he
was
resolved
the
next
Morning
to
attack
them
in
their
Post
:
And
briskly
advaneing
upon
them
,
some
of
their
Hearts
began
to
fail
,
and
were
desirous
to
Surtender
,
upon
whom
they
held
a
Council
of
War
,
and
hang'd
,
as
't
is
said
,
about
Fourteen
or
Fifteen
of
their
Companions
:
And
being
pressed
by
the
King's
Forces
,
and
and
not
judging
that
Place
of
sufficient
Security
,
they
retreated
to
the
Town
of
Sleeford
,
where
being
surrounded
,
and
Fire
being
ready
to
be
given
,
upon
them
,
they
sent
forth
their
Commander
,
with
his
Cravat
about
his
Neck
,
Halter-wise
,
who
Submitted
intirely
to
the
Mercy
of
the
King
,
forthwith
laying
down
their
Arms
,
surrendering
themselves
into
their
Custody
,
which
Account
Collonel
Lang
stone
sent
Express
this
Morning
to
Whitehall
.
Six
Captains
,
Eight
Lieutenants
,
and
Seven
Ensigns
,
who
are
all
in
Prison
,
and
His
Majesty's
Pleasure
to
know
how
they
should
be
proceeded
against
:
And
we
hear
that
some
among
them
offers
to
Discover
who
were
Advisers
of
this
Mischievous
Project
to
Embarras
the
King
's
Aflairs
.
