THE
Actions
of
Great
Men
have
generally
been
esteemed
so
powerful
for
the
instructing
of
those
that
come
after
,
that
most
Civil
States
have
made
it
their
Business
to
Transcribe
,
and
preserve
them
to
posterity
for
their
Example
and
Imitation
.
Even
the
Irish
themselves
,
when
they
were
far
from
being
one
of
the
most
Reformed
Nations
in
the
World
,
had
their
Bards
,
and
Ballad-makers
,
who
have
taken
no
small
pains
in
their
way
to
render
the
Chieftains
of
their
own
Country
as
famous
as
others
.
Nay
,
the
Greatest
Generals
and
Emperors
have
in
the
midst
of
their
Conquests
imployed
some
of
their
time
to
leave
the
immortal
Memory
of
their
own
,
and
other
Great
Mens
Actions
in
writing
;
the
omission
of
which
has
been
a
great
defect
in
the
middle
Age
of
the
World
,
since
those
are
commonly
the
most
Competent
Judges
of
the
management
of
Affairs
,
and
ablest
to
give
a
true
Account
.
But
because
in
this
Fighting
Age
,
wherein
we
now
live
,
their
time
is
other
ways
imployed
;
and
Great
Men
have
scarce
leisure
to
read
,
much
less
to
write
great
Books
;
we
must
be
contented
to
take
the
best
Accounts
we
can
get
of
their
Actions
from
meaner
Hands
,
such
as
have
been
Eye-witnesses
of
them
,
or
at
least
have
good
grounds
for
what
they
tell
us
.
And
forasmuch
as
the
Disturbances
in
Ireland
have
made
so
great
a
noise
in
the
Ears
of
all
Europe
,
whilst
they
lasted
;
and
my self
as
a
constant
Attendant
on
their
Majesties
Army
,
having
been
an
Eye-witness
to
the
most
Remarkable
Occurrences
;
I
shall
not
scruple
to
tell
the
World
all
I
know
;
which
as
it
is
for
the
most
part
little
else
but
the
bare
matter
of
Fact
,
I
hope
it
may
not
be
despised
,
though
it
come
from
so
mean
a
Hand
,
and
in
so
homely
a
Dress
.
I
need
not
trouble
the
Reader
with
a
long
Discourse
about
the
Occasion
of
the
War
;
The
general
Aversion
of
the
People
of
England
to
Popery
,
and
their
being
ill
treated
by
a
Prince
of
that
Persuasion
,
made
such
a
sudden
Change
in
that
Kingdom
,
as
the
like
never
happened
before
in
any
Age
or
Countrey
:
But
Ireland
was
under
different
Circumstances
;
the
Roman-Catholick
Party
being
there
by
much
the
stronger
(
at
least
more
numerous
)
of
whom
my
Lord
Tyrconnell
had
,
during
the
late
King's
Reign
,
been
modelling
an
Army
that
might
be
ready
on
all
Occasions
to
maintain
the
Popish
Interest
,
by
which
the
Protestants
in
that
Kingdom
were
brought
upon
the
very
brink
of
Ruine
,
and
then
forced
most
of
them
to
fly
from
thence
to
secure
their
Lives
against
an
Insolent
and
ungovernable
Irish
Army
;
who
by
order
from
the
Government
,
seized
upon
all
the
Horses
and
Arms
they
could
find
in
the
Hands
of
the
Protestants
throughout
the
Kingdom
,
and
made
all
possible
Preparations
to
resist
a
powerful
Army
from
England
,
which
was
but
reasonable
to
look
for
,
since
it
's
so
inconsistent
with
the
Laws
,
Interest
and
Policy
of
this
Kingdom
,
to
have
Ireland
in
any
other
hands
but
their
own
.
On
the
12th
of
March
the
Late
King
,
with
about
The
Late
King
lands
in
Ireland
.
1800
men
from
France
,
landed
at
Kinsale
in
the
West
of
Ireland
.
And
on
the
14th
several
of
the
Northern
Protestants
that
had
betaken
themselves
to
Arms
,
were
routed
at
a
place
called
Drummore
,
by
Lieut.
Gen.
Hambleton
(
who
was
some
time
before
sent
into
Ireland
to
treat
with
my
Lord
Tyrconnel
to
deliver
up
the
Sword
;
but
joining
with
his
Lordship
,
and
the
Irish
at
his
Landing
,
he
was
preferred
to
that
Post
.
)
He
had
with
him
at
Drummore
about
2000
of
the
Irish
standing
Army
,
and
nigh
as
many
Rapareers
,
though
he
killed
but
few
of
the
Protestants
,
they
making
a
Running
Fight
of
it
,
as
others
also
did
at
Killileigh
,
Claudyfoord
,
and
some
other
Places
;
several
flying
into
England
,
or
Scotland
,
though
the
most
resolute
amongst
them
went
towards
London-Derry
,
where
in
a
short
time
they
were
actually
besieged
by
the
greatest
part
of
the
Irish
Army
.
And
then
the
Irish
make
Preparations
for
the
sitting
of
their
Parliament
,
which
was
on
the
7th
of
May
1689.
wherein
all
the
mere
Irish
were
admitted
as
An
Irish
Parliament
called
.
Members
;
and
most
of
the
English
Nobility
,
Gentry
,
Clergy
,
and
substantial
Tradesmen
of
that
Kingdom
,
were
attainted
by
name
;
their
Estates
and
Goods
being
declared
forfeited
,
if
they
returned
not
by
a
certain
day
,
which
to
the
greatest
part
was
next
to
an
impossibility
.
There
were
some
Protestants
however
in
this
Parliament
who
endeavoured
to
do
their
Absent
Brethren
,
and
the
Protestant
Interest
,
all
the
faithful
service
imaginable
;
particularly
the
Bishop
of
Meath
,
who
made
several
excellent
Speeches
in
the
House
of
Lords
in
opposition
to
their
Proceedings
;
but
the
Current
was
then
too
strong
to
be
stopt
,
and
whoever
endeavoured
it
,
their
Attempts
were
fruitless
.
But
the
greatest
Thorn
in
their
sides
at
that
time
in
The
Siege
of
London-derry
.
Ireland
,
was
the
City
of
London-derry
,
which
contemned
both
their
Threats
and
fair
Promises
,
baffling
the
chie●
of
their
Forces
for
at
least
Four
Months
together
,
without
any
extraordinary
Supplies
from
England
,
till
they
were
reduced
to
the
last
Extremity
:
Yet
on
the
25th
.
of
March
the
Besieged
had
some
Arms
and
Ammunition
brought
them
by
Captain
James
Hambleton
.
And
on
the
13th
.
of
April
,
Collonel
Richards
and
Collonel
Cunningham
were
sent
with
Two
Regiments
from
England
to
their
Assistance
;
who
coming
to
the
Lough
of
Derry
▪
and
being
ordered
to
obey
the
then
Governour
Lundy's
directions
,
they
were
told
by
him
,
That
the
Town
could
not
hold
out
a
Week
;
and
that
their
coming
in
would
only
be
the
loss
of
their
men
,
and
the
Besieged
also
;
and
advised
them
to
return
,
which
they
did
,
tho
they
lost
their
Regiments
upon
it
.

Then
went

and

time
a
great
many
French
Commanders
were
sent
to
the
Irish
Camp
,
and
also
the
late
King
himself
went
down
to
encourage
the
Besiegers
,
fresh
Supplies
of
men
going
thither
daily
,
but
all
to
no
purpose
;
which
when
he
saw
how
unsuccessful
the
Attempts
of
his
Irish
Army
against
the
Town
were
like
to
prove
,
it
's
confidently
reported
,
that
he
exprest
himself
to
this
effect
,
That
if
he
had
had
as
many
English-men
in
his
Army
,
as
he
had
of
others
,
they
would
have
brought
him
it
stone
by
stone
ere
that
.
But
being
weary
of
so
tedious
a
Siege
,
he
returned
to
Dublin
;
and
at
last
,
the
Dartmonth
Frigat
forced
her
way
up
to
the
Town
;
and
the
Irish
raised
their
Siege
on
the
last
of
July
.
The
Management
of
this
Affair
was
blamed
by
some
of
themselves
,
who
were
either
for
pushing
on
the
Siege
with
their
whole
Army
,
or
else
for
making
a
Blockade
,
and
so
going
into
Scotland
with
the
rest
of
the
Army
,
as
my
Lord
Melfort
advised
,
and
as
my
Lord
Dunee
earnestly
writ
for
several
times
;
but
some
of
the
Irish
Officers
advised
the
late
King
to
a
Medium
,
by
making
a
slow
and
regular
Siege
,
which
would
teach
his
men
to
be
the
better
Soldiers
;
but
thereby
he
lost
his
opportunity
,
in
not
sending
to
reinforce
Dundee
,
whereby
he
might
at
least
have
changed
the
seat
of
the
War
.
Nor
were
the
Inniskilliners
behind
their
Neighbours
of
Derry
in
opppsing
the
Irish
on
all
occasions
;
for
besides
several
Actions
of
moment
performed
by
them
at
other
times
,
the
very
day
before
the
Siege
of
Derry
was
raised
,
the
Inniskilliners
hearing
of
about
Six
thousand
of
the
Irish
Army
,
commanded
by
Major-General
Mackarty
,
(
commonly
called
my
Lord
Moncashel
)
that
were
marching
towards
them
,
in
order
to
Besiege
their
Town
also
,
they
very
bravely
met
them
nigh
Twenty
Miles
from
home
,
and
at
a
place
called
Newtown
Butler
,
near
Croom-Castle
,
they
fought
and
routed
the
Irish
,
killing
and
drowning
in
Loughs
and
Bogs
nigh
Three
thousand
,
The
Battel
at
Newtown
Butler
.
Mackarty
himself
and
some
few
more
being
taken
Prisoners
:
The
whole
Body
of
the
Inniskilliners
,
both
Horse
and
Foot
,
were
not
above
Two
thousand
;
and
scarce
Twenty
of
those
were
killed
,
with
about
Fifty
more
wounded
.
This
I
have
had
confirmed
by
several
very
good
men
of
that
Party
;
and
it
's
in
a
great
measure
owned
by
the
Irish
themselves
.
After
these
Affronts
,
the
Irish
Army
retire
into
Leinster
Duke
Schonberg
lands
with
an
Army
in
Ireland
.
and
Munster
,
in
order
to
recruit
and
refresh
themselves
;
when
they
had
soon
an
account
(
to
their
sorrow
)
,
That
Duke
Schonbergh
,
General
of
all
Their
Majesties
of
Great
Britain's
Forces
,
was
landed
with
an
Army
at
Bangor
in
the
North
of
Ireland
:
This
was
on
Tuesday
,
August
the
13th
.
and
on
the
17th
.
the
General
with
his
Army
marched
to
Belfast
;
from
whence
on
the
20th
.
he
sent
Five
Regiments
of
Foot
,
with
some
Horse
,
to
Invest
the
Town
of
Carrickfergus
;
and
the
next
day
,
followed
himself
with
the
remainder
of
the
Army
.
There
were
Two
Regiments
of
Foot
in
the
Town
,
under
Mackarty
Moore
the
Governor
,
and
Owen
Mackarty
,
who
held
it
out
till
the
27th
.
at
what
time
the
following
Articles
were
agreed
to
and
signed
.

Articles

marched
out
,
tho
the
Duke
himself
had
much
a-do
to
protect
them
from
the
Violence
of
the
Countrey
People
;
the
Injuries
they
had
received
in
being
plundered
and
stript
by
them
,
were
so
fresh
in
their
memories
.
The

had
about
150

Siege

the

near
the

number
;
and

Duke
of
Berwick
,
who
having
been
there
with
about
1700
Foot
and
Dragoons
,
and
two
Troops
of
Horse
,
had
retired
towards
Dundalk
the
evening
before
,
and
left
Newry
in
a
flame
.
Here
the
General
posted
Capt.

marched
to

,
where

,

John
Hanmer's
,
and

join'd
us
from
the
North.
The
Irish
Army
were
at
this
time
in
a
great
Consternation
,
The
Irish
in
confusion
.
and
it
was
debated
whether
they
should
quit
Drogheda
and
Dublin
,
and
so
retire
towards
the
Shannon
;
but
my
Lord
Tyrconnel
opposed
it
;
and
when
Marshal
De
Rose
understood
that
Duke
Schonberg
halted
at
Dundalk
,
He
was
sure
(
he
said
)
that
he
wanted
something
necessary
for
their
going
forwards
;
and
therefore
part
of
their
Army
advanced
,
first
to
Ardee
,
and
then
in
a
day
or
two
to
a
place
called
the
Bridge
of
Fane
,
upon
a
small
River
within
three
miles
of
Dundalk
,
whither
the
late
King
with
his
whole
Army
(
being
about
28000
well
arm'd
,
and
nigh
Ten
thousand
indifferently
arm'd
men
)
,
followed
about
the
15th
.
at
what
time
we
began
to
intrench
our
Camp
;
and
also
some
shipping
with
Provisions
came
to
us

they
did
appear
upon

Hills
above

,
next
day
drawing
out
their
whole
Army
with
a
Train
of
Artilery
,
which
the
Duke
seeing
,
ordered
all
his
men
to
stand
to
their

,
and
expected
the
Enemies
attacking
him
,
but
that
they
had
no

to
;

they

Army
to
Ardee
,
where
they
encamped
till
about
the
4th
.
of
November
,
and
then
they
marching
off
,
we
thought
it
high
time
to
do
so
likewise
,
after
being
encamp'd
almost
Ten
weeks
in
a
very
unwholsome
place
,
and
pestered
with
all
the
disadvantages
of
bad
weather
,
by
reason
of
which
we
lost
in

Camp
,
in
our
going
to

,

in

and
the
Hospitals
,
at

one
half

Towards
the

end

,
the
General
ordered
a
Meeting
of
all
the
Countrey
Gentlemen
then
in
the
North
of
Ireland
,
to
be
at
Lisburne
,
where
his
Grace's
Head

were
fixed
,
at
what
time
they
presented
the
Duke
with
an
Address
,
and
then
agreed
upon
Rates
for
all
sorts
of
Provision
;
which
by

from
the
General
were
commanded
to
be
sold
accordingly
.
December
the
12th
.
Collonel
Woolsly
marched
with
a
Party
towards
Belturbet
,
which
was
surrendred
to
him
by
the
Irish
;
and
on
the
13th
.
the
Duke
went
to
view
Charlemont
,
a
strong-hold
which
the
Irish
then
had
,
and
kept
for
some
time
afterwards
.
Towards
the
latter
end
of
December
,
the
Irish
began
to
lessen
the
Coin
of
their
Brass-Money
,
calling
in
the
large
Half-Crowns
,
and
stamping
them

Collonel

was

by

for

to
him
,
wherein
he
desired
that
some
further

might
be
allowed
Mackarty
than
formerly
;
upon
which
it
being
done
(
with
the
Duke's
consent
,
who
took
Mackarty
for
a
man
of
Honour
)
the
Governor
was
acquitted
.
The
beginning
of
January
,
our
Regiments
being
all
very
thin
,
and
it
appearing
a
little
difficult
to
recruit
them
in
England
,
most
people
being
then
out
of
humour
for
the
loss
of
their
Relations
and
Acquaintance
,
nor
altogether
that
number
of
Voluntiers
appearing
then
as
formerly
,
therefore
several
Regiments
were
broke
one
into
another
,
and
the
supernumerary
Officers
continued
at
half-pay
till
Provision
could
be
made
for
them
in
other
Regiments
;
Sir
Tho.
Gower
being
dead
,
my
Lord
Drogheda's
Regiment
was
broke
into
his
,
and
his
Lordship
made
Collonel
of
it
;
my
Lord
Roscommon's
Regiment
was
broke
also
into

;
and

(
formerly
my
Lord
Lovelace's
)
Sir
Henry
Inglesby's
and

Hambleton's
of

,
were
broke
into

Regiments
;
and
about
the
12th

16th
.
and

.
most
of
the
Officers
designed
for
that
Service
,
went
from
Lisburne
towards
England
,
for
Recruits
to
the
Army
.
January
the
18th
.
A
Proclamation
was
published
,
strictly
forbidding
Cursing
,
Swearing
,
and
Prophaneness
in
Officers
or
Soldiers
,
under
the
Penalties
enjoined
in
the
Articles
of
War
,
and
his
Grace's
utmost
Displeasure
;
but
neither
this
,
nor
yet
the
Judgments
of
God
then
hanging
upon
us
for
those
and
a
great
many
other
sins
,
had
that
effect
that
the
General
and
other
good
men
heartily
wished
for
;
and
no
doubt
of
it
,
the
Debaucheries
in
Armies
are
the
high-way
to
Ruin
,
since
those
both
obey
and
fight
best
,
that
are
the
most
sober
.
The
22
d.
Brigadier
Stuart
went
with
a
Party
of
Five
hundred
Horse
and
Foot
towards
Dundalk
,
destroying
several
Cabins
amongst
the
Mountains
,
where
the
Irish
used
to
shelter
themselves
;
and
his
Party
brought
in
a
considerable
Prey
at
their
return
.
The
25th

the
General
went
from

,
in

to

drawn
together
to
attend
the

Motion
,
who
we
understood
were
then
in
a
Body
towards
Dundalk
;
The
General
himself
went
to
Drummore
,
and
so
to
Loughbritland
,
in
order
to
give
the
Enemy
Battel
,
if
they
advanced
;
our
Men
and
Horses
having
recovered
by
this
time
from
their
late
Diseases
to
a
Miracle
.
Sir
John
Laneir
,
and
Brigadier
La
Mellionere
,
advanced
with
a
Party
towards
Carlingford
,
but
returned
with
an
Account
,
that
there
were
only
three
Regiments
at
Dundalk
,
as
formerly
;
but
the
Design
of
the
Irish
lay
another
way
.
For
whilst
the
Duke
was
abroad
on
that
side
,
Collonel
Woolsley
had
notice
that
the
Enemy
were
resolved
to
fall
upon
Belturbet
,
where
he
then
commanded
;
to
which
purpose
they
had
already
crouded
a
Garison
of
theirs
called
Cavan
,
eight
miles
from
Belturbet
,
at
what
place
they
expected
a
greater
Force
in
a
day
or
two
;
but
Collonel
Woolsley
,
to
be
before-hand
with
their
visit
,
marched
from
Belturbet
on
the
12th
,
about
Four
in
the
Afternoon
,
with
Seven
hundred
Foot
,
and
Three
hundred
Horse
and
Dragoons
,
hoping
to
surprize
the
Enemy
next
Morning
early
;
but
he
met
with
so
many
Difficulties
in
his
march
,
that
instead
of
being
at
the
Place
before
day
,
as
he
designed
,
it
was
fair
day-light
before
he
came
near
it
;
the
Enemy
had
also
taken
the
Alarm
,
and
were
so
far
from
being
surprized
,
that
instead
of
the
usual
Garison
(
which
we
only
as
yet
expected
there
)
the
first
thing
that
our
men
saw
,
was
a
Body
of
the
Enemy's
drawn
up
in
good
order
,
and
judged
to
be
about
Four
thousand
.
It
was
rather
therefore
a
surprize
upon
us
,
than
them
;
however

we
fought
and

were

on

towards
Dundalk
with
a
Party
of
One
thousand
Horse
,
Foot
and
Dragoons
;
he
came
before
the
Place
early
next
Morning
,
which
the
Enemy
had
fortified
very
regularly
.
And
placing
some
of
his
men
near
the
Works
on
the
North-east
Side
towards
the
Bridge
,
he
sent
a
Party
of
Collonel
Leveson's
Dragoons
cross
the
River
,
who
took
Bedloe's
Castle
,
an
Ensign
and
Thirty
men
surrendring
themselves
Prisoners
;
In
the
mean
time
another
Party
marched
in
at
the
South-west
End
of
the
Town
,
and
burnt
most
of
what
was
left
without
the
Works
;
in
which
Service
we
lost
a
Lieutenant
,
and
two
or
three
Dragoons
;
our
Men
returning
with
a
Prey
of
Fifteen
hundred
Cows

and
killed

attacked
the

22th
His
Majesty
Encampt
at
Loughbritland
with
that
part
of
the
Army
which
had
their
Rendezvouz
there
,
and
never
laid
out
of
the
Camp
(
except
upon
his
Journey
from
Caruck
to
Dublin
)
,
after
that
,
during
his
stay
in
Ireland
.
That
Morning
a
Party
of
Two
hundred
Foot
and
Dragoons
going
from
Newry
towards
Dundalk
to
discover
the
Enemy
(
who
ere
this
had
taken
the
Field
,
and
then
lay
encamped
there
)
our
men
fell
into
an
Ambuscade
of
about
Four
hundred
of
the
Irish
,
at
a
narrow
Pass
upon
a
Bog
,
nigh
a
place
called
the
Four-mile
House
,
by
which
we
lost
Twenty
two
of
our
Party
,
and
Captain
Farlow
,
with
another
Officer
,
were
taken
Prisoners
,
but
the
Enemy
did
not
gain
much
by
this
Attempt
,
for
they
lost
more
in
number
than
we
did
.
Captain
Farlow
was
the
first
who
gave
the
Late
King
a
certain
Account
of
King
William's
being
in
Ireland
,
for
till
then
he
would
not
believe
it
.
June
the
27th
,
our
whole
Army
joined
at
Dundalk
,
making
in
all
about
Thirty
six
thousand
,
though
the
World
called
us
at
least
a
third
part
more
:
The
Irish
,
at
our
approach
hither
,
had
removed
to
the
Boyn
;
And
on
Sunday
the
29th
,
our
Army
marched
beyond
Ardee
,
which
the
Enemy
had
fortified
much
after
the
same
manner
as
they
had
done
Dundalk
;
and
early
next
morning
our
whole
Army
moved
toward
the
The
Army
marches

the

.
Boyne
,
making
their
Approaches
very
finely
.
After
some
time
His
Majesty
sent
down
small
Parties
of
Horse
to
discover
the
Ways
,
and
then
rid
towards
the
Pass
at
Old
Bridge
,
having
a
full
view
of
the
Enemy's
Camp
as
he
went
along
;
His
Majesty
stopt
some
time
at
Old
Bridge
to
observe
the
Enemy's
Posture
,
and
then
going
a
little
further
,
His
Majesty
alighted
to
refresh
himself
,
and
sate
nigh
an
hour
upon
the
Grass
;
during
which
time
the
Enemy
brought
down
two
Field-pieces
under
Covert
of
a
small
Party
of
Horse
,
and
planted
them
at
the
Corner
of
a
Hedge
undiscovered
;
and
when
His
Majesty
,
the
Prince
,
and
the
rest
were
mounted
again
,
and
riding
softly
the
same
way
back
,
their
Cannonier
let
fly
,
and
at
the
second
Shot
was
so
near
the
killing

Majesty
,

Majesty's
narrow
Escape
from
a
Great
Shot
.
as
that
the
Bullet
slanted
upon
his
Right
Shoulder
,
took
away
a
piece
of
his
Coat
,
and
struck
off
the
Skin
;
which
might
have
been
a
fatal
Blow
to
his
Army
,
and
Kingdoms
too
,
if
the
Great
Creator
of
the
World
,
who
orders
and
governs
all
things
,
had
not
been
at
his
Right
Hand
,
where
he
always
is
,
and
,
I
hope
,
will
be
,
as
well
for
the
defence
of
His
Majesty's
Sacred
Person
,
as
the
good
of
those
he
has
undertaken
to
protect
.
The
Enemy
then
fired
those
two
Pieces
as
fast
as
they
could
charge
and
discharge
,
doing
some
damage
amongst
our
Horse
that
were
drawing
up
before
them
,
which
made
the
King
give
Orders
for
his
Horse
to
rein
a
little
backwards
,
and
have
the
advantage
of
a
Rising
Ground
between
them
and
the
Cannon
.
About
Three
a
Clock
in
the
Afternoon
some
of
our
Field-pieces
came
up
,
which
were
immediately
planted
,
and
then
played
into
the
Enemy's
Camp
:
the
rest
of
the
day
was
spent
in
our
Army
's
Encamping
,
and
in
firing
Great
Guns
one
upon
another
from
several
Batteries
,
without
any
extraordinary
loss
Whether
His
Majesty
had
already
an
Account
of
what
had
happened
to
the
Confederate
Army
at
Flerus
,
I
am
not
able
to
give
an
Account
;
but
it
's
probable
he
had
some
intimation
of
it
;
since
in
a
Council
of
War
held
that
night
,
His
Majesty
seemed
positive
in
passing
the
River
next
day
,
and
therefore
gave
Orders
for
his
Army
to
be
ready
accordingly
.
The
late
King
had
likewise
another
Council
of
War
on
his
side
the
River
,
wherein
all
the
French
and
Irish
Officers
agreed
,
(
which
was
the
only
time
they
ever
did
so
before
or
after
)
,
Not
to
give
us
Battel
,
but
to
march
off
in
the
night
,
and
then
retreat
towards
Athlone
and
Limerick
filling
all
their
Towns
that
were
tenable
,
as
they
went
,
with
sufficient
Garisons
to
defend
them
.
And
their
reason
was
this
;
as
soon
as
Sir
Cloudsley
Shovel
with
his
Squadron
of
Men
of
War
had
seen
the
King
safe
in
Ireland
,
he
was
ordered
to
sail
immediately
,
and
join
my
Lord
Torrington
,
then
at
Sea
with
the
English
Fleet
;
which
the
French
having
notice
of
,
and
that
all
our
Transport
Ships
with
our
Provisions
and
other
Necessaries
for
War
,
were
left
at
Carigfergus-Bay
with
little
or
no
Convoy
,
and
would
have
Orders
to
coast
along
as
the
Army
marched
,
they
resolved
to
send
Ten
small
Frigats
and
Twelve
Privateers
into
the
Channel
,
and
burn
all
our
Ships
;
which
if
it
had
been
done
then
,
our
Communication
from
England
had
been
in
a
manner
cut
off
,
and
our
Army
forced
to
subsist
upon
the
Countrey
,
or
starve
;
at
least
we
had
been
debarred
those
Necessaries
,
without
which
the
War
could
not
have
been
carried
on
:
This
Design
of
the
French
was
not
unknown
to
the
King
,
and
therefore
he
was
the
more
earnest
in
going
forward
:
It
was
advised
therefore
in
the
Irish
Camp
,
That
seeing
we
had
a
better
Army
by
much
in
the
Field
than
theirs
(
and
might
probably
beat
them
if
they
engaged
)
,
to
march
away
,
and
so
protract
the
time
till
they
saw
what
became
of
the
Design
about
burning
our
Ships
,
which
they
were
confident
would
take
effect
.
But
the
late
King
himself
was
very
much
bent
upon
fighting
,
alledging
,
That
if
he
retreated
with
his
Army
,
and
left
Dublin
and
other
places
to
the
Enemy
,
the
Irish
,
who
are
soon
disheartned
,
and
only
judge
according
to
appearance
,
would
all
desert
him
by
degrees
;
and
then
himself
and
those
that
stood
by
him
,
would
be
delivered
up
to
the
Mercy
of
the
Enemy
:
So
that
seeing
him
in
this
humour
,
they
were
in
hopes
that
a
vigorous
fit
of
Valour
had
seized
him
,
and
that
he
would
next
day
play
the
Hero
,
in
either
Conquering
Valiantly
,
or
Dying
Gloriously
;
and
then
having
ordered
the
disposing
of
their
Army
,
they
concluded
to
stay
and
watch
our
motion

little
Village
called

was
much
more
considerable
than
all
that
fell
that
day
on
both
sides
;
whom
his
very
Enemies
always
called
a
Brave
Man
,
and
a
Great
General
;
whose
Name
will
make
a
considerable

,
a
brave
and

Gentleman
,
died
soon
after
him
,
of
his
Wounds
,
having
followed
that
great
man
in
most
of
his
Fortunes
;
whose
elder
Brother
the
Marquess
Ruvigny
had
Duke
Schonberg's
Regiment
of
French
Horse
bestowed
upon
him
by
the
King
.
For
the
further
Particulars
of
this
Battel
,
and
what
hapned
during
the
preceding
Campaign
,
and
also
the
most
material
Circumstances
of
this
,
I
refer
the
Reader
to
the
First
Part
of
this
History
,
already
printed
.
Some
will
pretend
to
say
,
That
his
Majesty
was
a
little
too
soon
in
the
passing
his
Foot
over
the
River
,
for
the
Left
Wing
of
the
Irish
Army
seemed
resolved
to
fight
Douglass
;
but
when
they
heard
how
things
went
at
Old-Bridge
,
they
retreated
immediately
towards
Duleek
,
and
so
marched
off
untouched
:
But
there
was
a
very
good
reason
for
what
his
Majesty
did
in
this
case
,
for
it
was
about
a
quarter
past
Ten
when
our
Foot
first
entred
the
River
;
and
if
the
King
had
deferred
it
an
hour
longer
,
then
the
Tide
,
which
generally
comes
up
above
Old-Bridge
,
would
certainly
have
prevented
our
men
from
passing
either
there
or
below
;
so
that
the
Right
Wing
of
our
Army
had
been
exposed
to
the
hazard
of
fighting
all
theirs
,
and
the
rest
not
able
to
come
to
their
relief
,
till
possibly
it
had
been
too
late
;
and
this
may
serve
to
answer
whatever
can
be
objected
in
that
case
.
The
late
King
at
the
beginning
of
this
Battel
stood
by
an
old
Church
near
the
Village
called
Dunore
;
but
assoon
as
he
saw
his
men
give
way
,
he
made
haste
to
Duleek
,
and
from
thence
to
Dublin
,
whither
he
got
that
Evening
by
Nine
a
Clock
,
and
early
next
morning
sent
for
the
Popish
Lord-Mayor
,
with
some
other
Officers
of
the
City
,
and
gave
them
a
charge
not
to
burn
it
;
and
then
going
towards
Bray
,
scarce
looked
behind
him
afterwards
till
he
got
to
Waterford
,
and
so
on
Ship-board
for
France
,
leaving
his
poor
Teagues
to
fight
it
out
,
or
do
what
they
pleased
for
him
:
And
what
was
more
remarkable
,
finding
some
of
the
Frigats
at
Waterford
that
were
to
go
upon
the
Project
of
Burning
our
Ships
,
he
told
them
all
was
lost
,
and
that
it
was
past
time
,
and
so
took
them
along
with
him
;
which
prevented
any
further
Attempts
upon
our
Ships
.
Whilst
his
present
Majesty
King
William
gave
his
Army
other
kind
of
Proofs
both
of
his
Courage
and
Conduct
,
having
a
Soul
far
above
Fear
,
or
any
thing
that
may
look
mean
in
so
Great
a
Prince
:
Nor
ever
had
an
Army
a
more
entire
Affection
for
their
chief
Commander
,
than
his
Majesty
's
for
him
;
his
Resolution
being
always
undaunted
,
and
their
only
Fear
being
for
his
Majesty's
Person
.
And
whatever
difference
happens
hereafter
between
his
Majesty
and
his
Army
,
can
only
be
this
,
That
they
desire
to
stand
between
his
Person
and
all
Danger
,
but
he
always
has
a
mind
to
put
himself
between
them
and
it
.
May
we
long
therefore
have
such
a
General
in
a
King
;
and
he
not
only
Soldiers
but
Subjects
too
of
all
other
Professions
,
that
honour
him
to
that
degree
.
Those
of
our
English
Forces
that
were
engaged
,
and
had
opportunity
to
shew
themselves
,
gave
signal
demonstrations
of
their
Courage
and
Bravery
;
the
Inniskilliners
,
and
French
too
,
both
Horse
and
Foot
,
did
good
service
;
and
the
Dutch
Guards
deserve
no
small
Honour
for
their
Conduct
that
day
.
After
the
Battel
,
our
Army
lay
upon
their
Arms
all
night
at
Duleek
,
having
left
our
Tents
all
standing
beyond
the
Boyne
:
And
next
morning
his
Majesty
sent
Brigadier
La
Mellionere
,
with
One
thousand
Horse
and
Dragoons
,
a
Party
of
Foot
,
and
Eight
Pieces
of
Cannon
,
to
summons
Drogheda
,
wherein
the
Irish
had
a
Garison
of
about
1300
men
,
commanded
by
my
Lord
Iveagh
,
who
surrendred
the
Town
,
upon
Condition
,
That
his
Garison
should
have
leave
to
march
out
without
their
Arms
,
and
be
conducted
to
Athlone
:
Tho
their
Barbarity
in
tying
the
Protestants
in
Town
back
to
back
,
and
placing
them
where
they
expected
our
Guns
to
play
,
ought
not
to
be
forgot
.
This
is
a
Town
of
no
great
strength
,
only
a
Mount
whereon
are
planted
Ten
Guns
on
the
South-side
the
River
,
seems
capable
of
Defence
.
Thursday
the
3
d.
of
July
,
his
Majesty
had
an
Account
,
That
the
Irish
had
left
Dublin
,
and
were
making
what
haste
they
could
towards
the
Shannon
;
upon
which
the
Duke
of
Ormond
marched
to
that
City
,
with
One
thousand
Horse
,
and
found
Captain
Farlow
Governor
of
the
Castle
,
who
two
days
before
had
been
a
Prisoner
;
his
Grace
took
possession
of
all
the
Out-Guards
of
the
Town
with
his
Horse
,
and
the
Dutch
Blue
Guards
were
sent
to
the
Castle
.
The
5th

His
Majesty
with
his
Army

to
Dublin
.
our
Army
marched
to
Finglass
,
a
little
Village
two
miles
to
the
North-west
of
Dublin
,
where
we
lay
encamped
for
several
days
.
The
6th
.
being
Sunday
,
his
Majesty
went
to
St.
Patrick's
Church
in
Dublin
;
and
next
day
towards
the
evening
,
the
Bishop
of
Meath
,
the
Bishop
of
Limerick
,
Dr.
King
,
and
all
the
Clergy
then
about
Dublin
(
except
the
Lord
Primate
,
who
sent
his
Excuse
to
his
Majesty
,
by
reason
of
his
great
Age
and
Infirmness
)
waited
upon
the
King
at
his
Camp
,
where
the
Bishop
of
Meath
made
an
excellent
Congratulatory
Speech
,
for
his
Majesty's
happy
Victory
,
and
their
Deliverance
:
Whereunto
his
Majesty
gave
a
Gracious
Answer
.
And
the
Bishop
of
Lim●rick
desired
they
might
appoint
a
Day
of
Publick
Thanksgiving
,
and
have
leave
to
Compose
a
Form
of
Prayer
suitable
to
the
occasion
;
which
was
granted
.
The
same
day
his
Majesty
signed
a
Declaration
,
His
Majesty's
Declaration
to
the
Irish
.
wherein
he
promised
Protection
to
all
poor
Labourers
,
common
Soldiers
,
Countrey-Farmers
,
Plow-men
and
Coltiers
;
as
also
to
all
Citizens
,
Tradesmen
,
Townsmen
,
and
Artificers
,
who
either
remained
at
home
,
or
having
fled
from
their
Dwellings
,
should
return
by
the
first
of
August
following
,
&c.
leaving
all
others
to
the
Event
of
War
,
unless
by
great
and
manifest
demonstrations
they
would
convince
his
Majesty
that
they
deserved
his
Mercy
,
which
he
promised
never
to
refus●
to
those
who
were
truly
penitent
.
A
great
many
of
the
Irish
Officers
complained
,
The
Irish
Objections
against
the
Declaration
.
That
this
Declaration
was
too
narrow
in
excluding
them
from
any
Advantage
by
it
;
and
that
they
were
obliged
afterwards
to
stick
together
,
as
being
their
only
safety
;
but
this
Declaration
was
narrower
than
his
Majesty's
Royal
Intentions
,
on
purpose
to
comply
with
the
English
Proprietors
of
that
Countrey
:
And
as
to
the
Irish
Officers
,
this
was
only
a
pretence
;
for
when
it
was
enlarged
afterwards
by
his
Majesty
,
and
the
Government
the
year
succeeding
made
them
all
the
reasonable
Proffers
that
could
be
hoped
or
wished
for
,
yet
most
of
them
continued
obstinate
till
they
could
not
help
it
.
But
tho
his
Majesty
was
very
careful
to
have
this
and
his
other
Declaration
that
succeeded
it
,
observed
,
yet
some
Officers
and
Soldiers
were
apt
to
forget
the
King's
Honour
,
with
that
of
our
Countrey
and
Religion
too
,
when
they
stood
in
competion
with
their
own
Profit
and
Advantage
.
That
day
and
the
next
his
Majesty
took
a
view
of
his
Army
by
distinct
Regiments
;
nor
did
the
inconveniency
of
the
bad
Weather
which
fell
out
at
Our
Army
mustered
.
that
time
,
prevent
him
from
observing
each
Regiment
very
nicely
;
the
whole
number
of
Horse
,
Foot
,
and
Dragoons
that
marched
in
the
Ranks
,
was
30330
,
besides
483
Reformed
Officers
,
as
also
all
the
Officers
and
Serjeants
in
the
Army
,
and
Four
Regiments
in
Garison
;
so
that
the
compleat
Number
of
our
whole
Army
was
at
least
36000
,
as
is
said
before
.
Nor
will
it
be
improper
to
g●ve
here
a
List
of
our
General
Officers
,
who
commanded
this
Campaign
under
his
Majesty
,
and
were
employed
in
his
Service
;
but
we
must
take
it
from
the
beginning
,
since
his
Grace
Duke
Schonberg
was
killed
ere
this
.

The
Irish
had
at
that
time
in
their
Army
Two
Troops
of
Horse-Guards
,
with
another
of
Horse-Granadiers
;
Eight
Regiments
of
Horse
,
Seven
Regiments
of
Dragoons
;
a
Regiment
of
Foot
Guards
of
Twenty
two
Companies
,
and
Ninety
men
in
a
Company
;
Forty
four
other
Regiments
of
Foot
,
Thirteen
Companies
in
a
Regiment
,
and
Sixty
men
in
a
Company
,
which
with
the
Five
thousand
French
Foot
,
made
their
Army
,
according
to
their
own
Computation
of
the
Regiments
,
and
the
numbers
in
each
,
to
be
39320
Foot
,
3471
Horse
,
and
2480
Dragoons
,
which
in
all
make
an
Army
of
50271.
besides
their
Rapparees
in
all
the
Corners
of
the
Countrey
;
but
these
were
all
that
they
had
to
man
the
whole
Garisons
of
Ireland
;
so
that
they
were
not
above
27000
at
the
Boyn
,
besides
the
French
.
But
to
return
.
About
the
8th
or
9th
of
July
it
was
known
abroad
,
That
His
Majesty
had
an
Account
of
the
Misfortune
of
the
English
and
Dutch
Fleets
,
at
which
time
he
divided
his
Army
,
and
marched
himself
towards
Kilkenny
with
the
greatest
part
of
it
.
For
though
His
Majesty
was
sensible
,
that
going
with
his
whole
Army
towards
Athlone
,
and
so
into
Connaght
,
was
the
readiest
way
to
reduce
the
Irish
;
yet
having
some
Reasons
to
apprehend
that
the
French
,
after
the
Battel
of
Flerus
,
might
send
off
Detachments
from
their
Army
,
and
so
disturb
England
;
or
at
least
send
part
of
their
Fleet
,
and
burn
his
Transport-Ships
,
he
made
hast
to
secure
Waterford
Haven
for
them
,
since
the
Bay
of
Dublin
is
no
Place
of
safety
.
Sending
at
the
same
time
Lieutenant-General
Douglas
with
three
Regiments
of
Horse
,
two
of
Dragoons
,
and
ten
of
Foot
,
towards
Athlone
,
Ffty
miles
to
the
Northwest
from
Dublin
;
before
which
Place
he
came
on
the
17th
with
the
aforesaid
Party
,
Twelve
Field-pieces
,
and
two
small
Mortars
:
The
Irish
burnt
and
deferted
that
part
of
Athlone
on
Leinster
side
,
the
Bridge
called
the
English
Town
:
But
seeing
our
Party
,
and
our
Train
not
suitable
to
such
an
Undertaking
,
and
having
three
Regiments
of
Foot
,
nine
Troops
of
Dragoons
,
and
two
of
Horse
,
in
,
and
about
the
Town
,
with
a
fresh
supply
of
Forces
not
far
off
;
they
positively
refused
to
deliver
up
the
Place
,
which
Lieutenant-General
Douglas
seeing
no
hopes
of
forcing
them
to
,
on
Friday
the
25th
,
early
in
the
morning
,
he
raised
his
Siege
,
and
marched
to
join
the
King's
Army
again
,
having
not
lost
above
Thirty
men
before
the
place
,
but
near
Three
hundred
by
Sickness
,
and
other
Accidents
.
Our
rising
from
before
that
Town
did
so
puff
up
the
Irish
,
that
one
Malady
,
the
Late
King
's
High
Sheriff
for
the
County
of
Longford
,
got
at
least
Three
thousand
of
the
Rabble
,
or
such
like
People
together
,
near
Mullingar
,
where
they
hectored
and
swaggered
for
some
days
;
but
Collonel
Woolsley
with
his
own
Horse
,
and
two
Regiments
of
Foot
,
being
sent
back
to
secure
that
part
of
the
Countrey
,
about
Forty
of
his
Horse
,
being
an
Advance
Guard
,
fell
in
with
a
Party
of
the
Irish
towards
the
Evening
,
which
giving
the
Alarm
to
the
rest
,
they
immediately
began
to
disperse
,
and
every
man
to
shift
for
himself
;
and
Night
coming
on
,
our
Party
had
only
the
opportunity
of
killing
about
Thirty
of
them
,
High
Sheriff
Malady
himself
being
wounded
,
and
never
since
able
to
raise
such
another
posse
Commitatus
.
But
to
return
to
His
Majesty's
Camp
,
which
on
the
9th
,
he
pitched
at
a
place
called
Cromlin
,
two
miles
to
the
West
of
Dublin
,
where
the
King
setled
the
method
A
Commission
about
Forfeited
Goods
.
of
granting
Protections
according
to
his
Declaration
.
And
then
gave
a
Commission
to
Francis
,
Earl
of
Longford
;
Anthony
Lord
Bishop
of
Meath
;
Robert
Fitz-Gerald
,
Esq
,
Sir
Henry
Fane
,
Doctor
Gorge
,
William
Robinson
,
Esq
,
Joseph
Coghlin
,
Esq
Edward
Corker
,
Esq
,
and
Henry
Davis
,
Esq
,
or
any
five
of
them
,
to
enquire
into
,
seize
,
and
secure
all
Forfeitures
to
the
Crown
by
the
General
Rebellion
of
the
Irish
Nation
:
This
Commission
empowered
them
to
appoint
Deputies
to
summon
and
swear
Witnesses
,
to
call
the
Justices
of
the
Peace
,
and
Deputy-Lieutenants
to
their
Assistance
,
to
let
Leases
for
a
year
,
and
in
doubtful
Cases
,
to
consult
the
Judges
learned
in
the
Law
;
and
this
Power
of
theirs
to
continue
until
a
more
legal
method
could
be
put
in
practice
when
the
Courts
of
Judicature
were
open
.
The
Bishop
of
Meath
,
whether
his
Lordship
was
sensible
of
the
Defect
of
the
Commission
at
first
,
or
else
did
not
like
the
Proceedings
of
some
of
the
rest
,
he
soon
forbore
his
attendance
at
their
Meetings
;
but
several
of
the
rest
proceeded
in
their
Business
,
and
took
possession
of
Goods
of
all
sorts
,
as
well
in
the
Hands
of
Roman-Catholicks
,
and
on
their
Grounds
,
as
in
the
hands
of
Protestants
,
where
they
had
been
left
by
their
Catholick
Neighbours
;
upon
which
account
those
Gentlemen
had
the
misfortune
to
be
much
censured
afterwards
,
as
well
by
some
in
the
Countrey
,
where
they
made
Seisures
,
as
by
the
Commissioners
of
Their
Majesty's
Revenue
,
who
complained
of
the
small
Returns
made
into
the
Exchequer
.
This
occasioned
several
of
the
above-named
Gentlemen
,
who
had
been
imployed
to
make
a
representation
of
their
Case
afterwards
to
the
Lords
Justices
,
which
I
have
seen
,
and
it
was
to
this
effect
:
That
amongst
a
great
many
Discouragements
in
so
troublesome
an
Imployment
,
their
Commission
it self
was
so
defective
,
that
it
seemed
a
perfect
Snare
to
them
(
contrary
to
the
intent
or
Interest
of
His
Majesty
)
in
that
it
gave
them
power
to
seize
upon
all
Forfeitures
,
but
not
to
dispose
of
any
(
except
of
Lands
by
lease
for
a
year
)
by
which
means
,
the
Goods
seized
by
the
Commissioners
,
and
their
Deputies
,
were
often
either
stole
,
or
forced
away
,
sometimes
by
the
Army
,
and
at
other
times
by
the
Rapparees
,
after
they
had
been
at
great
charge
about
them
.
And
a
great
many
other
things
they
have
to
say
for
themselves
,
by
which
it
appears
,
that
those
Aspersions
cast
upon
some
of
them
were
groundless
though
others
of
them
,
or
where-ever
the
fault
else
laid
;
some
,
I
say
,
there
were
who
did
Their
Majesties
Affairs
no
great
Advantage
,
nor
themselves
much
Credit
by
their
management
.
But
this
being
a
matter
of
publick
Concern
,
is
none
of
my
business
to
look
into
.
His
Majesty
then
marched
forwards
,
and
from
a
Wexford
secured
.
Place
called
Castledermot
,
sent
Brigadier
Eppinger
with
a
Party
of
One
thousand
Horse
and
Dragoons
to
secure
Wexford
,
which
before
his
Arrival
was
deserted
by
the
Irish
Garison
.
The
King
all
along
upon
his
march
was
acquainted
with
the
Disorders
and
Confusion
of
the
Irish
Army
,
and
of
their
speedy
marches
to
Limerick
,
and
other
Strong
Holds
.
The
19th
His
Majesty
dined
at
Kilkenny
,
a
Walled
Town
,
wherein
stands
a
Castle
belonging
to
the
Duke
of
Ormond
,
which
had
been
preserved
by
Count
Lauzun
,
with
all
the
Goods
and
Furniture
.
And
next
day
His
Majesty
Clonmel
quitted
by
the
●ish
.
understood
that
the
Enemy
had
quitted
Clonmell
,
whither
Count
Sconberg
marched
with
a
Body
of
Horse
.
Monday
the
21st
,
The
Army
marched
to
Carrick
,
where
the
King
received
an
Account
of
the
state
of
Waterford
,
and
whither
Major-General
Kirk
went
Waterford
and
Duncannon
Fort
surrendred
.
next
morning
with
a
Party
to
summon
the
Town
,
wherein
were
two
Regiments
of
the
Irish
,
who
submitted
upon
condition
to
march
out
with
their
Arms
;
As
did
also
the
strong
Fort
of
Duncannon
in
a
day
or
two
after
,
which
gave
His
Majesty
sufficient
shelter
for
all
his
Shipping
.
When
Waterford
was
surrendered
,
His
Majesty
in
Person
went
to
view
it
;
where
he
admitted
my
Lord
Dover
to
a
more
particular
Protection
than
ordinary
,
because
he
had
applied
himself
formerly
by
a
Letter
to
Major-General
Kirk
to
desire
a
Pass
for
himself
,
and

His

at

,
to
be
shipt
off
for

Kingdom
.
And
on
the
first
of
August
His
Majesty
published
a
Second
Declaration
,
not
only
confirming
and
strengthening
the
former
;
but
also
adding
,
That
if
any
Foreigners
then
in
Arms
against
him
in
that
Kingdom
would
submit
,
they
should
have
Passes
to
go
into
their
own
Countries
,
or
whither
else
they
pleased
.
A
Proclamation
was
also
published
for
all
the
Irish
in
the
Countrey
to
deliver
up
their
Arms
;
and
those
who
refused
,
or
neglected
,
to
be
abandoned
to
the
Discretion
of
the
Soldiers
.
As
also
another
Proclamation
for
a
Weekly
F●st
.
And
then
His
Majesty
appointed
Richard
Pine
,
Esq
Sir
Richard
Reves
,
and
Robert
Rochfort
,
Esq
Lords
Commissioners
of
the
Great
Seal
,
who
began
now
to
act
accordingly
.
But
the
King
received
a
further
Account
from
England
,
But
returns
to
the
Camp
.
That
the
loss
at
Sea
was
not
so
considerable
as
it
was
at
first
given
out
;
and
that
there
was
no
danger
of
any
more
French
Forces
landing
in
that
Kingdom
;
they
having
already
burnt
only
a
small
Village
,
and
so
were
gone
off
without
doing
any
further
damage
.
The
danger
of
that
being
therefore
over
,
His
Majesty
returned
to
the
Army
,
which
he
found
encamped
at
Golden
Bridge
,
nigh
Cashell
,
and
about
seventeen
miles
from
Limrick
,
where
His
Majesty
had
intelligence
of
the
Posture
of
the
Enemy
in
,
and
about
that
City
.
August
the
8th
,
Lieutenant-General
Douglas
,
and
his

Party
from
Athlone
,
joined
the
King's
Army
at
Cariganlis
.
And
on
the
9th
,
the
whole
Army
approached
that
strong
Hold
of
Limerick
without
any
considerable
loss
,
the
greatest
part
of
their
Army
being
Encampt
beyond
the
River
,
in
the
County
of
Clare
.
His
Majesty
,
as
soon
as
his
Army
was
posted
,
sent
a
Summons
to
the
Town
,
which
was
refused
to
be
obeyed
by
Monsieur
Boiseleau
,
the
Duke
of
Berwick
,
Sarsfield
,
and
some
more
,
though
a
great
part
of
their
Army
were
even
then
willing
to
Capitulate
.
Next
Morning
early
the
King
sent
a
Party
of
Horse
and
Foot
under
Major-General
Ginckell
,
and
Major-General
Kirk
,
to
pass
the
River
,
which
they
did
near
Sir
Samuel
Foxon's
House
,
about
two
miles
above
the
Town
.
The
same
day
,
some
Deserters
from
the
Enemy
gave
his
Majesty
an
account
of
their
Circumstances
;
and
one
of
our
own
Gunners
did
as
much
for
us
,
who
informed
the
Enemy
of
our
Posture
in
the

as
also
of

Next

the

for

seemed

this
was

they
did
not

we

of

at
Mullingar
.
ON
the
sixth
of
September
our
Army
marched
to
Tipperary
,
about
fourteen
Miles
from
Limerick
,
where
they
begun
to
disperse
towards
their
respective
Quarters
.
And
we
had
an
Account
by
some
Deserters
,
that
my
Lord
Tyrconnel
and
all
the
French
Forces
were
Ship'd
off
at
The
French
leave
Ireland
.
Gallway
for
France
.
The
reason
of
this
was
also
enquired
after
by
a
great
many
;
that
the
French
shou'd
absolutely
quit
Ireland
,
at
a
time
when
we
had
raised
our
Siege
,
which
might
have
given
them
hopes
of
re-gaining
the
next
Year
what
they
lost
this
;
at
least
,
to
defend
the
Province
of
Connaught
against
us
,
and
so
protract
the
War
beyond
what
they
cou'd
have
hoped
for
if
the
Town
had
been
taken
;
and
that
if
the
want
of
Provisions
was
an
Objection
,
it
was
easier
to
carry
those
to
the
Men
than
bring
the
Men
to
their
Provisions
.
But
the
reason
that
I
have
heard
given
for
their
departure
was
,
That
the
late
King
appearing
very
unexpectedly
in
France
,
at
a
time
when
all
People
were
over-joyed
with
the
News
of
the
Battel
of
Flerus
won
at
Land
,
and
a
Victory
also
gained
at
Sea
;
to
palliate
matters
therefore
as
to
himself
,
he
laid
all
the
blame
upon
the
Irish
,
that
they
wou'd
not
fight
,
but
many
of
them
laid
down
their
Arms
in
such
order
,
as
if
they
had
been
Exercising
;
which
indeed
some
of
them
did
:
Upon
which
,
the
Fr.
K.
concluding
that
all
was
lost
in
that
Kingdom
,
he
sent
Orders
to
Count
Lauzun
to
make
the
best
of
a
bad
Market
,
and
so
come
off
for
France
as
well
as
he
could
,
with
all
his
Men.
But
the
Irish
,
taking
heart
of
grace
at
our
Fleets
and
the
Dutch
Armies
misfortunes
,
they
held
out
beyond
expectation
:
And
those
Orders
of
the
French
Kings
,
not
coming
till
after
His
Majesty
had
raised
the
Siege
of
Limerick
,
Count
Lauzun
waited
about
twelve
Days
for
a
Countermand
;
but
that
not
appearing
he
set
sail
for
France
,
tho'
he
met
with
contrary
Orders
at
Sea
;
but
then
it
was
too
late
:
For
His
Majesty
had
been
a
Fortnight
at
London
before
they
heard
at
Paris
that
the
Siege
of
Limerick
was
raised
;
which
shewed
,
that
whatever
good
Intelligence
they
might
have
from
England
or
Ireland
at
other
times
,
they
wanted
it
now
;
but
whether
the
Wind
was
cross
,
or
what
else
was
the
reason
,
I
am
uncertain
.
About
the
fourteenth
we
heard
that
Sarsfield
,
with
a
part
of
the
Irish
Army
,
had
marched
over
the
Shannon
at
Banoher-Bridge
,
and
besieged
the
Castle
of
Birr
,
wherein
Birr
besieged
by
the
Irish
.
was
only
a
Company
of
Colonel
Tiffin's
Foot
,
who
stoutly
defended
the
Castle
,
the
only
temble
place
;
but
Major-General
Kirk
marching
thither
with
a
part
of
our
Army
,
the
Enemy
quitted
the
Siege
and
marched
off
.
At
this
time
Count
Solms
,
who
commanded
in
Chief
,
was
at
Cashel
,
where
he
received
a
Letter
by
a
Trumpeter
from
the
Duke
of
Berwick
,
then
at
Limerick
,
complaining
that
they
heard
of
a
Design
of
ours
,
to
send
all
those
Prisoners
,
we
had
taken
at
several
places
,
to
be
Slaves
in
the
Foreign
Plantations
;
and
withal
,
threatning
ours
with
the
French
Gallies
.
But
this
was
only
a
trick
of
the
Irish
Officers
themselves
,
to
prevent
their
Soldiers
from
deserting
,
making
them
believe
there
was
a
Contract
to
sell
them
all
to
Monsieur
Perara
the
Jew
for
so
much
Bread
,
(
which
made
the
name
of
the
Jew
very
terrible
to
the
Irish
.
)
But
this
was
a
mere
Story
of
their
own
framing
;
and
therefore
Count
Solms
sent
the
following
Answer
to
the
Duke's
Letter
.
Henry
Count
de
Solms
,
General
of
Their
Majesties
Army

of
your
Men
we
have
Prisoners
,
to
the
Foreign
Plantations
,
we
detained
your
Trumpeter
here
for
some
Days
,
in
hopes
we
might
have
been
able
to
trace
this
Report
which
you
send
us
word
is
spread
about
of
such
our
Intentions
;
but
no
enquiry
we
have
made
,
giving
us
the
least
light
therein
,
we
have
reason
to
think
,
that
neither
those
Prisoners
we
have
of
yours
need
fear
so
long
a
Voyage
,
nor
those
few
of
ours
in
your
hands
be
apprehensive
of
yielding
a
small
Recruit
to
the
French
King's
Gallies
:
However
,
we
think
fit
to
declare
,
that
your
Men
shall
severely
feel
the
effects
of
any
ill
usage
you
shall
offer
to
ours
;
for
which
they
may
reckon
themselves
obliged
to
their
Generals
.

,
1690.
To
the
Duke
of
Berwick
,
or
the
Officer
in

,
commanding

Enemies
Forces
.
Soon
after
this
,
Count
Solms
went
for
England
,
and
the
Lieutenant-General
Ginckel
made
Commander
in
Chief
.
Baron
de
Ginckel
was
made
Lieutenant-General
,
and
Commander
in
Chief
of
the
Army
,
who
went
to
his
Head-Quarters

of

,

,
and

work

Country
in
as
good
a
condition
of

as
the
nature
of

times
would
bear
.
Whilst
the
King
was
imployed
in
the
Field
with
his
Army
against
the
Town
of
Limerick
,
it
was
first
proposed
by
the
Earl
of
Nottingham
,
to
my
Lord
Marlborough
,
and
afterwards
approved
of
in
Councel
,
as
very
Advantageous
to
Their
Majesties
Affairs
,
to
send
a
Party
from
England
,
who
,
joyning
with
a
Detachment
from
the
King's
Army
,
might
reduce
those
two
important
Garrisons
of
Cork
and
Kinsale
;
and
provisions
were
made
accordingly
:
But
not
being
ready
so
soon
as
was
designed
,
His
Majesty
,
upon
His
return
for

,

the

But
though
the

in

in

were
reduced
to

Signed
W.
Dorington

But
this
worthy
Declaration
had
no
other
effect
than
to
shew
the
folly
and
vanity
of
the
Publisher
;
only
I
cannot
but
observe
what
a
scurvy
Return
those
Officers
and
Souldiers
of
King
William's
,
to
whom
he
addresses
himself
,
made
him
for
his
kind
proffer
;
since
instead
of
going
to
him
for
his
Pass
into
France
,
they
soon
after
sent
his
Worship
himself
Prisoner
into
England
.
Monday
the

.
of
December
,
Henry
Lord
Viscount
My
Lord
Sidney
goes
for
England
.
Sidney
being
appointed
one
of
the
Secretaries
of
State
for
England
,
set
Sail
for
that
Kingdom
:
And
on
the
24th
.
Sir
Charles
Porter
,
another
of
the
Lords-Justices
,
came
from
thence
,
being
Sworn
Lord
Chancellour
of
Ireland
on
the
29th
.
and
then
received
the
Purse
and
Great
Seal
from
the
late
Commissioners
.
We
had
now
a
part
of
our
Army
on
their
March
towards
Part
of
our
Forces
move
towards
the
Shannon
.
Lanesborough
Pass
,
Commanded
by
Major
General
Kirk
and
Sir
John
Lanier
:
Lieutenant
General
Douglas
was
also
upon
his
March
towards
Sligoe
,
as
was
Major
General
Tetteau
in
Munster
,
towards
the
County
of
Kerry
:
The
first
Detachment
beat
the
Irish
from
their
Works
on
this
side
the
River
;
and
staying
there
some
time
,
returned
to
Quarters
,
as
did
also
Lieutenant
General
Douglas
.
Major
General
Tetteau
Marched
towards
Ross
,
taking
a
Fort
called
Screnelarld
,
in
his
way
;
after
which
the
Irish
set
most
of
the
Country
on
Fire
,
and
retreated
:
He
took
also
another
Fort
,
wherein
were
80
of
the
Irish
,
who
being
attacked
by
fifty
Danes
,
and
fifty
of
the
Kinsale
Militia
,
our
Men
carried
the
place
,
and
put
most
of
the
Enemy
to
the
Sword
.
Then
our
Party
Marched
towards
Tralee
,
where
Lieutenant
General
Sheldon
bad
been
with
21
Troops
of
Dragoons
and
7
of
Horse
,
but
with
his
Men
had
deserted
the
Town
,
and
made
what
haste
they
could
towards
Limerick
,
resolving
to
force
their
way
through
Lieutenant
General
Ginckel's
Troops
,
(
who
then
was
abroad
also
with
a
Party
)
if
they
were
not
very
much
stronger
,
or
otherways
to
kill
all
their
Horses
and
save
themselves
,
by
crossing
the
Shannon
in
Boats
:
But
not
being
informed
of
this
,
our
Men
returned
without
securing
a
considerable
quantity
of
Provisi●●●
then
in
Trallee
,
which
the
Irish
got
afterwards
to
supply
the
Garrison
of
Limerick
.
The
Rapparees
by
this
time
were
got
to
the
end
of
the
Rapparees
in
the
Bogg
of
Allen.
Bogg
of
Allen
,
within
12
miles
of
Dublin
,
and
there
Robb'd
and
Plunder'd
the
Country
all
about
,
Fortifying
an
Island
in
the
Bogg
to
secure
their
Prey
,
which
being
so
nigh
Dublin
,
it
made
a
great
noise
:
So
that
Collonel
Foulks
with
his
own
Regiment
,
part
of
Collonel
Cutts's
,
and
a
Detachment
of
the
Dublin
Militia
,
as
also
three
small
Field-Pieces
,
Marched
out
towards
them
:
The
Irish
at
first
seemed
to
defend
the
place
;
but
as
our
Men
advanced
,
they
quitted
their
Posts
,
leaving
us
to
fill
up
the
Trenches
they
had
made
cross
the
Causeway
;
which
done
,
Colonel
Foulks
Marched
over
into
the
Island
of
Allen
,
where
he
met
with
Colonel
Piper
,
who
had
come
in
at
the
other
side
;
but
the
Irish
betook
themselves
to
the
Woods
,
and
we
only
got
some
small
Booty
which
they
had
left
.
I
have
heard
,
that
my
Lord
Baltimore
at
his
coming
over
from
Ireland
in
King
James
the
First
's
time
,
to
give
his
Majesty
an
account
of
the
State
of
that
Kingdom
,
amongst
otherthings
,
told
the
King
,
That
the
Irish
were
a
wicked
People
,
but
had
been
as
wickedly
dealt
withal
.
I
make
no
Applications
of
the
Expression
to
our selves
,
tho'
most
people
that
have
been
in
that
Country
know
how
to
do
it
.
But
as
to
any
publick
Action
,
little
of
moment
hapned
,
for
some
time
after
we
returned
to
our
Winter
Quarters
,
tho'
the
Rapparees
,
being
encouraged
by
our
withdrawing
,
were
very
troublesome
all
the
Country
over
:
nor
will
it
be
amiss
,
once
for
all
,
to
give
you
a
brief
Account
how
the
Irish
managed
this
Affair
,
to
make
the
Rapparees
so
Considerable
as
they
really
were
;
doing
much
more
mischief
at
this
Upon
what
account
the
Rapparees
were
servicable
to
the
Irish
.
time
o'
th'
year
,
than
any
thing
that
had
the
face
of
an
Army
could
pretend
to
.
When
the
Irish
understood
therefore
how
our
Men
were
Posted
all
along
the
Line
,
and
what
advantage
might
be
hoped
for
at
such
and
such
places
,
they
not
only
encouraged
all
the
protected
Irish
to
do
us
secretly
all
the
mischief
they
could
,
either
by
concealed
Arms
,
or
private
Intelligence
,
under
the
pretence
of
their
being
Plundered
and
abused
;
but
they
let
loose
a
great
part
of
their
Army
to
manage
the
best
for
themselves
,
that
time
and
opportunity
would
allow
them
:
to
all
these
they
gave
Passes
,
signifying
to
what
Regiment
they
belonged
,
that
in
case
they
were
taken
,
they
might
not
be
dealt
withal
as
Rapparees
,
but
Souldiers
.
These
Men
knew
the
Country
,
nay
,
all
the
secret
Corners
,
Woods
and
Boggs
;
keeping
a
constant
Correspondence
with
one
another
,
and
also
with
the
Army
,
who
furnished
them
with
all
necessaries
,
especially
Ammunition
:
When
they
had
any
Project
on
Foot
,
their
method
was
not
to
appear
in
a
Body
,
for
then
they
would
have
been
discovered
;
and
not
only
so
,
but
Carriages
and
several
other
things
had
been
wanting
,
which
every
one
knows
that's
acquainted
with
this
Trade
:
Their
way
was
therefore
,
to
make
a
private
appointment
to
meet
at
such
a
Pass
or
Wood
,
precisely
at
such
a
time
o'
th'
night
or
day
as
it
stood
with
their
conveniency
;
and
tho'
you
could
not
see
a
Man
over
night
,
yet
exactly
at
their
hour
,
you
might
find
three
or
four
hundred
,
more
or
less
,
as
they
had
occasion
,
all
well
Armed
,
and
ready
for
what
design
they
had
formerly
projected
;
but
if
they
hapned
to
be
discovered
,
or
over-powered
,
they
presently
dispersed
,
having
before-hand
appointed
another
place
of
Rendezous
,
ten
or
twelve
miles
(
it
may
be
)
from
the
place
they
then
were
at
;
by
which
means
our
Men
could
never
fix
any
close
Engagement
upon
them
during
the
Winter
;
so
that
if
they
could
have
held
out
another
year
,
the
Rapparees
would
have
continued
still
very
prejudicial
to
our
Army
,
as
well
by
killing
our
Men
privately
,
as
stealing
our
Horses
,
and
intercepting
our
Provisions
.
But
after
all
,
least
the
next
Age
may
not
be
of
the
same
humour
with
this
,
and
the
name
of
a
Rapparees
may
possibly
be
thought
a
finer
thing
than
it
really
is
,
I
do
assure
you
,
that
in
my
Stile
they
never
can
be
reputed
other
than
Tories
,
Robbers
,
Thieves
,
and
Bogg-trotters
.
The
Insolence
of
those
People
however
,
in
the
Bogg
of
Allen
,
was
curbed
by
Colonel
Foulks
and
Colonel
Piper
,
before
their
return
,
who
killed
one
Gibney
a
Captain
,
and
several
others
:
About
which
time
,
the
King

Preferments

void
in
Ireland
since

death
of
King
Charles
the
Second
.
On
the
14th
,
of
January
,
about
sixty
of
the
Garrison
of
A
Party
of
ours
march
beyond
the
Shannon
.
Castle-Forbes
,
in
the
County
of
Longford
,
with
some
of
the
Militia
,
passed
the
River
Shannon
,
and
burnt
several
places
on
the
other
side
,
bringing
off
a
good
Booty
,
without
any
loss
.
And
seventeen
Transport
Ships
,
with
two
Men
of
War
,
were
ordered
from
the
Bay
of
Dublin
towards
Kinsale
,
to
carry
the
Earl
of
Marlborough's
and
Colonel
Fitz-Patrick's
Regiments
into
Flanders
,
together
with
the
Prisoners
taken
at
Cork
and
Kinsale
;
these
having
joyned
some
other
Vessels
,
suffered
much
in
their
Voyage
to
Flanders
,
by
reason
of
bad
Weather
,
and
some
of
them
forced
upon
the
Coast
of
England
,
one
or
two
Ships
being
lost
.
And
nigh
the
same
time
the
Dover
Frigat
brought
into
Kinsale
,
a
French
Privateer
of
22
Guns
,
and
10
Pettereroes
,
belonging
to
St.
Maloes
.
Several
Prisoners
are
now
taken
in
scampering
Parties
,
and
some
Deserters
come
in
,
who
all
give
an
account
of
the
extraordinary
scarcity
of
Provisions
and
other
Necessaries
amongst
the
Irish
;
tho'
this
was
only
true
in
part
,
for
Prisoners
will
stretch
to
gain
favour
,
and
Deserters
are
commonly
prejudiced
;
so
that
they
make
things
as
they
would
have
it
,
or
speak
by
hear-say
,
few
of
them
telling
any
thing
of
their
own
knowledge
;
for
before
a
Man
deserts
any
side
,
he
commonly
converses
with
those
that
are
most
disaffected
,
and
consequently
least
trusted
;
he
comes
off
partial
however
;
so
that
no
extraordinary
stress
is
usually
to
be
laid
upon
such
Informations
.
Nigh
this
time
several
Ships
arriv'd
at
Gallway
from
France
,
My
Lord
Tyrconnel
returns
from
France
.
and
brought
over
my
Lord
Tyrconnel
,
Sir
Richard
Neagle
,
and
Sir
Stephen
Rice
,
with
about
only
8000
l.
in
Money
;
which
was
a
great
disappointment
to
the
Irish
,
who
had
a
small
distribution
by
way
of
Donative
,
but
not
as
pay
.
There
came
also
some
Soldiers-Coats
and
Caps
,
but
such
sorry
ones
,
that
the
Irish
themselves
could
easily
see
in
what
esteem
their
Master
of
France
had
them
.
A
Party
of
the
Militia
of
Bandon
advance
into
the
Enemies
Quarters
,
and
killing
some
few
stranglers
,
brought
off
a
good
Prey
,
according
to
the
custom
of
the
Country
.
But
afterwards
about
1500
of
the
Enemy
pass

Black-Water
,
A
Party
of
the
Irish
besiege
Fermoy
.
near
Fermoy
,
where
there
was
some
of
the
Danes
posted
in
a
Fort
,
which
the
Irish
pretended
to
Attack
;
upon
their
near
approach
our
Men
fired
,
and
the
Irish
seemed
resolute
for
some
time
,
but
sixteen
of
them
being
killed
,
with
a
French
Officer
,
the
rest
were
presently
a
little
more
calm
;
and
then
they
made
an
attempt
on
the
other
side
,
on
Fermoy-Bridge
,
but
were
beat
back
with
two
small
Field-Pieces
,
(
which
they
had
Intelligence
were
removed
)
and
six
of
them
killed
at
that
place
;
but
by
this
time
part
of
Colonel
Donep's
Horse
were
come
to
Castle
Leons
,
and
fifty
of
them
,
with
30
Militia
Dragoons
,
engaged
a
greater
Number
of
the
Irish
,
and
killed
sixty
,
pursuing
the
rest
nigh
two
Miles
,
till
they
came
towards
their
main
Body
,
which
was
commanded
by
Brigadier
Carol
,
who
was
obliged
to
retire
without
what
he
came
for
.
Richard
Pyne
,
Esquire
,
formerly
one
of
the
Commissioners
of
the
Great
Seal
,
is
now
made

.
And
,
Jan.

,
some
Recruits
are
sent
from
Dublin
,
to
re-inforce
the
Garrison
of
Ki●meague
,
in
the
Isle
of
Allen
,
and
other
places
in
the
County
of
Kildare
.
And
now
,
to
satisfie
both
the
Army
and
Country
as
much
as
could
be
,
comes
out
a
Proclamation
;
That
all
Persons
who
had
given
subsistence
of
Provisions
,
&c.
to
the
Army
,
should
receive
satisfaction
for
the
same
according
to
the
Rates
made
publick
in
the
beginning
of
Winter
.
And
that
all
Arrears
of
Pay
due
to
Officers
,
or
Soldiers
,
who
died
,
were
killed
,
or
removed
from
Their
Majesties
Service
,
should
be
paid
to
their
Relations
.
In
order
to
which
,
there
were
certain
Commissioners
appointed
,
to
state
the
Accompts
of
the
Army
:
February
,
1691.
These
Commissioners
were
William
Robinson
,
John
Stone
,
Edward

,
John
South
,
and
Edward
Molineux
,
Commissioners
appointed
to

the
Accompts
of
the
Army

Esquires
,
who
,
some
of
them
,
here
sate
every
Day
,
for
many
Months
together
,
upon
this
Affair
.
Jan.
29.
A
Ship
belonging
to
Chester-Water
was
cast
away
in
the
Bay
of
Dublin
;
Ball
the
owner
,

all
the
Passengers
being

.
The
same
Day
upwards
of
200
Prisoners
were
put

A
Declaration
was
published
at
Dublin
A
Declaration
from
the
General
to
the
Irish
.
by
Lieutenant-General
Ginckel
,
setting
forth
,
That
Their
Majesties
had
no
design
to
Oppress
their
Roman-Catholick
Subjects
of
this
Kingdom
,
in
either
their
Religion
,
or
their
Properties
;
but
had
given
him
Authority
,
to
grant
reasonable
Terms
to
all
such
as
would
come
in
and
submit
according
to
their
Duty
.
But
this
Declaration
(
as
others
before
it
of
like
nature
)
had
not
the
wished-for
effect
;
since
the
Irish
are
generally
of
that
Temper
,
as
to
think
you
are
most
afraid
of
them
when
best
Terms
are
proferr'd
:
This
made
the
Irish
Peasants
value
themselves
mightily
upon
King
William's
first
Declaration
,
after
the
Rout
at
the
Boyne
,
who
then
look'd
upon
themselves
to
be
the
most
considerable
part
of
the
Irish
Nation
,
because
they
had
Terms
proferr'd
before
the
Great
Ones
.

never
wanted
Intelligence

advantage

also
upon
seeing
what
happened

retired
into

there
was

out

very
soon
obliging
them
to
disperse
into
the
Woods
and
Boggs
,
several
being
killed
;
and
whilst
this
was
adoing
,
our
Advance
Party
of
Horse
followed
the
Enemies
Horse
so
fast
upon
the
great
Road
that
leads
towards

our
Body
of
Horse
behind
could
not
come
up
,

they
endeavour'd
it

very
hard
:

Irish

making
what
haste
they
could
to
their
usual
shift

Woods

Boggs
;

thus
it
continued
for
six
miles
,
till
they
were
got
near
Athlone

They
lost

This

Upon
this

About

After
which
the
Soldiers
lived
upon
free
quarters
:
Provisions
also
being
scarce
,
and
no
Markets
,
for
want
of
Money
,
those
Parts
begun
to
be
under
worse
Circumstances
every
Day
.
We
had
Notice
from
Tallough
,
that
Sarsfield
had
Rendezvous'd
part
of
his
Army
,
and
some
of
the
Irish
Militia
,
at
Knockhany
,
and
that
he
had
detached
ten
Men
out
of
a
Company
,
and
as
many
out
of
each
Troop
,
to
Attack
the
Pass
at
Fermoy
,
and
beat
up
our
Quarters
at
Tallough
and
thereabouts
;
upon
which
a
Party
was
detached
from
Youghall
to
strengthen
that
place
,
but
Sarsfield
only
viewed
his
Men
,
and
pick'd
out
the
most
serviceable
of
the
Militia
to
serve
in
the
Army
.
Nigh
this
time
one
Lonan
,
a

,
was

And
on

a
Party
of
Colonel
Byerly's
Regiment
,
with
some
of
the
Militia
,
overtook
a
Party
of
Rapparees
that
were
stealing

march'd
towards
Nenagh
,
in
the
County
of
Tipperary
,
where
there
is
a
strong
Castle
,
belonging
to
the
Duke
of
Ormond
:
Long
Anthony
Caroll
was
Governor
of
this
Place
,
having
with
him
about
one
hundred
Men
;
but
in
the
places
adjacent
there
lived
a
great
many
Tories
and
Rapparees
,
whom
Caroll
could
upon
any
alarm
bring
together
,
to
the
Number
of
at
least
two
thousand
.
He
now
had
notice
of
our
Party's
approach
,
and
laid
an
Ambuscade
for
them
;
which
being
discovered
,
his
Men
drew
homewards
,
and
we
followed
them
into
Town
,
which
we
burnt
,
but
the
Castle
was
not
to
be
attack'd
without
Cannon
;
for
tho'
it
was
taken
by
Lieutenant-General
Ginckel
,
and
a
Garrison
put
into
it
during
the
former
Siege
of
Limerick
,
yet
,
upon
our
Army
's
drawing
off
,
part
of
the
House
within
was
burnt
,
and
so
quitted
by
our
Party
;
which
was
no
sooner
done
,
but
the
Irish
put
a
Garrison
in
it
,
by
which
they
kept
great
part
of
a
very
good
Country
in
their
possession
:
But
seeing
our
Men
could
not
Attack
the
Castle
,
they
took
a
good
prey
of
Cattle
;
in
getting
of
which
,
and
burning
the
Town
,
they
kill'd
about
sixty
Men
;
amongst
whom
was
one
Caroll
an
Officer
,
and
a
Man
of
great
Bravery
:
We
lost
only
three
Men
in
this
Expedition
.
A
Party
of
Horse
and
Foot
went
also
about
this
time
from
Mountmelick
,
to
some
adjoyning
Woods
,
where
they
understood
a
Body
of
Rapparees
were
got
together
,
we
kill'd
that
Day
twelve
,
and
the
next
Day
six
,

,
and
about
thirty
Foot
,
went
from
Caperquin
towards
A
Glyn
,
where
they
had
Information
that
forty
Rapparees
were
lodged
,
but
they
proved
a
much
greater
Number
than
was
expected
,
and
obliged
our
Horse
to
shift
for
themselves
;
which
a
Trumpeter
seeing
,
who
was
upon
a
little
Hill
at
a
distance
,
he
first
sounded
a
March
,
then
a
Charge
,
and
gave
a
great
Shout
,
as
if
some
more
Horse
were
falling
on
;
which
took
so
well
,
that
it
frighted
the
Rapparees
,
and
made
them
run
towards
the
Wood
,
in
which
posture
,
our
Foot
and
Horse
falling
upon
them
,
kill'd
twenty
seven
,
and
took
thirteen
Prisoners
;
three
whereof
were
called
Captains
,
but
being
known
Rogues
,
they
were
all
hanged
.
March
the

a
good
Detachment
was
sent
from
Cashel
towards
Emly
,
in
the
County
of
Limerick
,
to
meet
with
the
Enemy
,
who
were
got
into
a
Body
thereabouts
.
As
we
came
towards
the
place
the
Enemy
retired
,
and
had
twelve
killed
in
their
going
off
.

had
made

best
provision
they
could
for
themselves
and
Families
by
the

:
For
Colonel
Brewer
,
sometime
before
this
,
had
commanded
them
all
out
of
Town
,
upon
his
being
informed
of
their
Correspondence
with
the
Enemy
.
This
occasion'd
them
to
build
a
great
many
Hutts
all
along
the
dry
Ditches
,
which
they
make
no
difficulty
in
performing
;
for
it

bending
down

And
the

Colonel
Brewer
,
with
Lieutenant-Colonel
Hamilton
,
of
my
Lord
Meath's
Regiment
,
went
from
Mullingar
towards
Dunore
,
with
six
hundred
Foot
and
twenty
Horse
;
their
Design
was
to
surprize
about
two
thousand
Rapparees
that
had
hutted
thereabout
for
some
time
:
At
break
of
Day
next
Morning
our
Party
came
within
sight
of
the
Enemy
;
who
took
the
Alarm
,
and
began
to
draw
up
on
several
Hills
in
distinct
Bodies
,
both
of
Horse
and
Foot
,
and
made
a
shew
at
first
of
advancing
,
in
order
to
an
Engagement
;
but
they
always
retired
to
their
Fastnesses
,
upon
the
near
approach
of
any
of
our
Men
:
However
,
the
Party
so
ordered
it
as
to
kill
nigh
fifty
,
and
burn
their
Hutts
and
Cabbins
,
returning
without
any
loss
.
The
same
Day
the
Governor
of
Meers-Court
went
towards
Ballymore
,
and
at
Night
took
the
Patrole
Prisoner
,
bringing
off
some
of
the
Horses
belonging
to
that
Garrison
:
Fourteen
Deserters
also
came
from
the
Enemy
to
Mullingar
.
And
a
crook-back'd
Beggar
was
brought
a
little
after
to
Colonel
Brewer
in
a
Sack
;
he
had
been
formerly
a
Spie
;
and
now
,
upon
his
detection
,
he
accused
several
protected
Papists
thereabouts
,
for
holding
Correspondence
with
the
Enemy
.
The
Dragoons
,
posted
at
Fox-Hall
,
upon

went
out
with
a
Party
of
sixty
Fire-Locks
from
their
Quarters
near
Birr
;
their
Design
was
to
surprize
some
of
the
Irish
,
and
bring
off
a
prey
they
were
informed
of
;
but
being
betray'd
by
one
Terence
Mackgrah
,
who
had
all
along
been
protected
,
and
pretended
a
particular
Friendship
to
Captain
Palliser
,
our
Men
fell
into
an
Ambuscade
,
ordered
for
them
by
Long
Anthony
Caroll
;
and
having
freed
themselves
of
that
,
they
found
themselves
beset
on
all
sides
,
so
that
they
were
forced
to
take
into
an
old
Castle
;
and
,
after
being
almost
smothered
in
it
with
Smoak
,
they
surrendered
themselves
all
Prisoners
of
War
;
Lieutenant
Armstrong
paid
Money
to
be
released
,
Captain
Palliser
made
his
escape
the
beginning
of
June
from
Limerick
,
but
the
poor
Men
were
kept
Prisoners
till
Limerick
was
surrendred
.
Fifteen
Rapparees
took
the
Northern-Male
going
from
Dublin
,
at
a
place
called
Moyery-Castle
,
between
Dundalk
and
Newry
;
six
of
which
were
some
small
time
afterwards
apprehended
and
hanged
for
it
.

29.
A

of
one

,
A
Party
of
the
Irish
beat
off
,
who
designed
to
intercept
the
Relief
of
Ballynagooly
.
commanded
by
Captain
Clayton
,
were
sent
to
Relieve
Ballynagooly
;
some
distance
from
the
place
they
espied
a
Party
of
the
Enemies
Horse
,
who
did
not
care
to
meddle
with
them
,
because
they
supposed
them
well
provided
with
Ammunition
;
and
about
twelve
at
Night
the
Party
reliev'd
march'd
out
:
It
was
no
sooner
Day-light
than
they
espied
near
three
hundred
of
the
Enemies
Horse
and
Dragoons
,
and
about
the
same
Number
of
Rapparees
,
who
had
way-laid
them
,
expecting
they
would
bring
but
little
Ammunition
from
the
Garrison
;
but
Captain
Thornicroft
,
Lieutenant
Hayes
,
and
the
Ensign
,
with
the
Party
,
resolved
to
make
the
best
of
it
,
and
so
drew
their
Men
into
an
old
Pound
,
Breast-high
;
which
they
had
scarce
done
,
till
the
Advance-Party
of
the
Enemy
came
up
and
proferr'd
them
Quarter
;
which
they
refused
,
and
fired
upon
them
;
then
the
Irish
main
Body
advanced
and
made
several
very
brisk
Attacks
,
which
our
Men
resisted
stoutly
,
killing
several
,
and
wounding
others
,
who
were
carry'd
off
.
The
Garrison
of
Cork
taking
the
Alarm
,
sent
out
a
Party
to
Relieve
our
Men
,
but
the
Enemy
were
march'd
off
before
.
The
Enemy
left
Captain
Coppinger
,
two
more
Captains
,
and
ten
Men
dead
,
and
Major
Slingsby
was
left
wounded
,
who
confessed
their
Party
carry'd
off
between
fifty
and
sixty
kill'd
and
hurt
;
and
withal
,
that
it
was
a
Judgment
upon
them
,
since
they
designed
to
promise
fair
Quarter
,
but
afterwards
to
destroy
our
whole
Party
:
We
lost
eight
Soldiers
and
two
Carr-Men
,
and
had
five
more
wounded
.
This
Party
of
the
Irish
,
it
's

they

a
Body
of
the

Army
and
Rapparees
;
but
these
having
Notice
of
our
Design
the
Night
before
,
they
dispersed
to
their
several
places
of
shelter
,
so
that
few
of
them
were
taken
or
kill'd
.

which
he
first
kill'd
nigh
seventy
Rapparees
;
and
leaving
part
of
his
Men
to
secure
several
Passes
,
he
went
three
Miles
further

a
place
called
The
Tougher
of

having
with
him
one
hundred
and
ten
Foot
,
and
thirty
Horse
;
but
instead
of
the
Rapparees
,
whom
he
only
expected
,
he
espied
two
Bodies
of
the
Irish
Army
,
said
to
be
near
eight
hundred
in
Number
:
Those
he
encountred
,
and
after

he

deserve

to

I
can
find
no

it

that
it
's
no

matter

a
Party
of
the
Militia
of
Bandon
,
took
Captain
Hugh
Donavan
,
and
six
of
O
Donavan's
Regiment
Prisoners
:
And
about
forty
Rapparees
were
surprized
in
a
Wood
in
the
Night
as
they
sat
at
Supper
,
by
a
Lieutenant
and
eight
Men
,
who
coming
silently
up
to
where
they
saw
the
Light
,
they
fired
amongst
them
and
killed
four
,
the
rest
dispersing
at
the
suddenness
of
the
Accident
;
the
Lieutenant
and
his
Men
got
about
twenty
Horses
and
other
Booty
.
One
Major
O
Neal
was
sent
from
Athlone
to
view
the
Fortifications
at
Ballimore
;
but
instead
of
returning
with
an
Account
of
the
Place
,
he
comes
over
to
us
:
And
one
Mr.
Whittingham
makes
his
escape
out
of
Connaught
,
giving
an
Account
of
several
Murders
committed
by
the
Rapparees
.
Sir
Garret
Ailmer
and
some
other
Prisoners
,
taken
at
Derry
,
&c.
were
exchanged
:
And
our
Provisions
going
to
the
Stores
at
Mullingar
,
are
again
attempted
by
a
Party
of
Rapparees
,
upon
the
Common
between
that
and
Kinegad
,
which
is
eight
miles
,
and
a
waste
Country
,
with
Woods
and
Boggs
on
each
side
;
but
their
design
was
frustrated
by
eight
of
Colonel
Brewer's
Men
,
though
they
killed
a
Suttler
by
a
Random-Shot
.
May
the
18th
.
Lieutenant-General
Ginckel
,
Commander
in
Chief
of
Their
Majesties
Forces
for
the
succeeding
Campaign
,
goes
to
view
the
Town
of
Mullingar
;
and
Provisions
and
Ammunition
were
daily
sent
thither
,
as
also
to
Belturbet
,
for
the
supply
of
our
Northern
Forces
:
and
more
Recruits
both
of
Horse
and
Foot
,
with
Ammunition
and
Souldiers

,
arrive
daily
at
Dublin
from
England
.
The
Bay
of
Baltemore
in
Carberry
,
in
the
West
of
Ireland
,
is
a
safe
place
for
Ships
of
any
Burden
to
ride
in
,
and
was
one
of
those
which
the
Spaniards
much
frequented
in
former
times
,
being
called
by
them
Valentimore
.
The
Dragon
and
Advice
Frigats
,
Some
of
our
Seamen
and
Militia
joyn
,
and
march
into
the
Enemies
Quarters
.
being
about
the
middle
of
May
in
this
Bay
,
they
Landed
a
hundred
Seamen
,
who
joyning
some
of
the
Militia
,
march'd
up
into
the
Country
,
and
saw
several
Parties
of
the
Enemy
;
but
they
not
caring
to
Engage
,
our
People
took
what
Cattle
and
other
Prey
they
had
a
mind
to
;
and
two
days
after
the
Dragon
brought
a
Privateer
of
St.
Malo's
of
eight
Guns
,
called
the
Swallow
,
to
Kinsale
;
the
Commander
of
which
gave
the
first
certain
Account
,
That
several
French
Ships
with
Arms
,
Ammunition
,
Provisions
,
and
some
Officers
,
were
gone
into
the
River
Shannon
towards
Limerick
,
on
Board
of
which
Ships
was
Monsieur
St.
Ruth
and
other
French
Officers
sent
to
Command
the
Irish
Army
.
And
near
the
same
time
,
six
Monsieur
St.
Ruth
Lands
in
Ireland
to
Command
their
Army
.
of
our
Ships
come
to
Cork
with
Recruits
and
Provisions
,
under
the
Conduct
of
the
Smyrna
Frigat
.
A
Party
of
three
hundred
Horse
and
Dragoons
,
with
two
hundred
of
the
Militia
,
went
from
Cork
to
relieve
the
Garrison
of
Ballynagooly
;
after
which
they
went
to
view
Bally
▪
Clough
,
in
the
Enemies
possession
,
but
upon
our
approach
,
they
drew
into
their
Works
,
so
that
our
Men
killed
only
five
,
and
took
as
many
Prisoners
.
Captain
Barry
of
the
Militia
,
kills
six
in
a
Wood
at
Ballyhooly
beyond
the
Black-water
;
and
the
Militia
of
Fermoy
,
upon
an
Expedition
,
kill
ten
more
,
taking
also
eight
Prisoners
.
One
Maurice
Spulane
,
a
Rapparee
Captain
,
was
killed
nigh
Castle-Haven
;
and
Quarter-master
Edwards
kills
sixteen
nigh
Tipperary
;
and
Captain
Massey
eight
more
in
the
County
of
Limerick
;
and
three
were
carried
to
Clonmell
there
to
be
hanged
:
four
were
taken
in
a
Wood
near
Dramoree
,
as
they
were
dividing
some
Money
they
had
stole
.
So
that
on
all
sides
,
though
these
Vermin
were
at
work
to
do
Mischief
,
yet
the
Army
,
and
indeed
the
Militia
,
were
as
active
to
suppress
them
.
However
,
the
White
Serjeant
,
with
one
Mackabe
and
Cavenagh
,
were
very
troublesome
nigh
Kildare
.
Those
were
three
Fellows
all
under
the
same
Circumstances
,
who
running
away
from
the
Irish
Army
,
they
got
small
Parties
of
Rogues
together
,
and
haunted
the
Bogg
of
Allen
,
and
other
places
of
the
Country
thereabouts
,
which
were
particularly
well
known
to
them
,
and
by
that
means
gave
the
Inhabitants
no
small
disturbance
.
They
were
hunted
by
the
Militia
nigh
this
time
,
and
three
of
the
White
Serjeant's
men
Shot
at
one
time
,
and
two
of
Mackabe's
at
another
;
and
soon
after
three
more
were
killed
near
Murney
.
And
our
publick
Accounts
tell
us
of
a
hundred
and
ten
Rapparees
killed
by
Captain
Baggott's
Militia
Dragoons
since
the
beginning
of
this
Month
in
several
Parties
.
But
Cavenagh
and
his
Men
being
afraid
to
trade
any
more
in
the
Bogg
of
Allen
,
they
remove
towards
the
Mountains
of
Wicklow
,
where
Lieutenant
Cooly
met
with
them
,
and
killing
fifteen
,
took
their
Captain
,
upon
which
the
rest
dispersed
,
or
joyned
with
Mackabe
and
the
White
Sergeant
.

.
being
condemned
and
reprieved
till
now
,
was
this
Day
hanged
,
having
said
nothing
to
the
purpose
,
but
that
our
best
places
to
pass
the
Shannon
were
Melick
and

.
May
24.
Major
Welden
of
the
Militia
,
and
Captain
Phillips
of
Colonel
Earls's
Regiment
,
kill
thirteen
Rapparees
near
Montmelick
.
Captain
Vnderhill
,
of
my
Lord
Lisburn's
Regiment
,
with
sixty
Foot
and
ten
Dragoons
,
goes
to
Ballenderry
,
May
the
26th
.
where
they
met
with
a
Party
of
nigh
three
hundred
of
the
Irish
Army
,
whom
they
engaged
,
killing
Captain
Geoghagan
and
four
more
Officers
,
and
(
as
the
Account
was
)
fifty
private
Men.
Next
Day
the
same
Captain
went
out
with
only
twenty
four
Men
and
kill'd
twelve
;
but
being
set
upon
by
a
good
Party
of
the
Irish
,
commanded
by
Colonel
Geoghagan
,
he
made
his
retreat
to
Dunore
Castle
,
having
only
one
Man
kill'd
and
another
wounded
.
The
same
Day
some
Dutch
Horse
being
come
to
the
Camp
now
at
Mullingar
,
a
Party
of
them
went
abroad
,
kill'd
several
Rapparees
,
and
brought
in
thirty
Prisoners
.
At
this
time
Lieutenant-General
Douglas
was
marched
Lieutenant-General
Douglas
encamps
with
a
Party
at
Ardagh
.
out
of
the
North
with
a
Body
of
Men
and
encamped
at
a
place
called
Ardagh
in
the
County
of
Longford
,
twelve
Miles
from
Mullingar
:
And
the
Duke
of
Wirtenberg
was
gone
towards
Thurles
,
where
the
Foreigners
that
quartered
last
Winter
in
Munster
were
ordered
to
Rendezvouz
,
and
to
be
ready
to
joyn
the
rest
of
the
Army
nigh
Banoher
,
where
our
Great
Men
had
some
thoughts
at
that
time
of
passing
.
Our
Train
of
Artillery
was
also
upon
their
march
from
Dublin
to
Mullingar
,
being
such
an
one
as
never
had
been
seen
before
in
that
Kingdom
.
Major-General
Ruvigny
is
now
at
the
Camp
at
Mullingar
,
Our
Great
Officers
take
the
Field
.
whither
went
Major-General
Mackay
on
the
28th
.
who
came
lately
from
Scotland
.
Major-General
Kirk
and
Sir
John
Lanier
go
for
England
,
and
land
at
Neston
on
the
thirtieth
.
And
much
about
the
same
time
the
Duke
of
Leinster's
Regiment
of
Horse
,
formerly
my
Lord
Devonshire's
,
landed
in
England
and
march'd
towards
Coventry
.
Major-General
Talmash
being
sent
by
His
Majesty
to
assist
the
other
Great
Officers
this
Campaign
in
Ireland
,
landed
at
Dublin
the
latter
end
of
May
,
having
with
him
Sir
Martin
Beckman
,
chief
Ingineer
,
and
in
a
Day
or
two
he
went
towards
the
Camp
.
About
this
time
the
Gentlemen
of
the
County
of
East-Meath
,
meeting
at
Trim
,
agreed
to
scoure
the
Red
Bog
nigh
that
place
,
where
the
Rapparees
haunted
and
had
done
much
mischief
during
the
last
Winter
;
the
issue
was
,
that
thirty
five
were
kill'd
,
and
six
more
fairly
hanged
.
Some
were
also
kill'd
by
the
Militia
of
the
County
of
Waterford
,
and
others
near
Kilmallock
,
by
Parties
that
advanced
so
far
.
By
Packets
from
England
the
General
had
an
Account
by
Letters
from
Monsieur
de
Opdam
,
Lieutenant-General
of
the
Horse
in
Holland
,
who
went
to
Breda
about
the
exchange
of
Prisoners
taken
at
the
Boyne
,
Cork
,
Kinsale
,
&c.
with
the
Dutch
taken
at
the
Battle
of
Fleur
,
that
the
French
refused
to
release
the
Irish
Officers
under
such
Characters
as
they
gave
themselves
,
but
left
them
under
very
ill
Circumstances
,
upbraiding
them
in
terms
very
disrespectful
,
tho'
they
released
the
Irish
Soldiers
,
and
sent
them
to
Thoulon
,
Marseilles
,
&c.
for
the
Sea-service
.
This
Month
now
draws
towards
an
end
,
and
all
People
that
had
any
business
towards
the
Camp
,
are
resorting
thither
;
in
order
to
which
the
Lords-Justices
set
out
a
Proclamation
,
Commanding
all
Sutlers
and
others
to
carry
no
Ale
,
or
other
Liquors
to
the
Camp
,
but
what
was
good
and
well
brewed
,
and
to
be
at
least
six
Days
old
;
to
prevent
Fluxes
and
other
Distempers
.
There
was
also
another
Proclamation
,
Commanding
all
Persons
that
designed
to
be
Sutlers
,
to
come
to
Dublin
for
Licenses
,
and
to
renew
those
each
Journey
.
But
this
being
found
inconvenient
for
the
Army
,
it
was
recalled
.
May
the
30th
.
Lieutenant-General
Ginckel
went
The

from
Dublin
,
and
lying
that
Night
at

with

who
,
before
his
coming
over
was
made
a
Brigadier
by
His
Majesty
.
The
Soldiers
every
Day
in
one
Regiment
or
another
began
to
appear
fine
in
their
new
Cloths
;
and
,
before
the
Army
took
the
Field
,
the
Lords-Justices
,
with
the
Advice
of
the
General
,
appointed
several
Officers
,
that
had
been

were
actually
then
in
the
Army
,
to
Command
the
Militia
in
different
places
of

rather
Superintendents

JVne
the
1st
.
Very
early
in
the
Morning
Grace
and
Hogan
,
two
Rapparee
Captains
,
with
eighty
Men
,
surprized
a
Castle
called
Camgart
,
within
six
Miles
of
Birr
,
kept
all
Winter
by
a
Party
of
the
Militia
;
the
news
of
which
was
brought
some
time
after
to
Carolante
,
where
was
a
Garrison
kept
by
the
Earl
of
Drogheda's
Regiment
:
The
Account
of
this
was
brought
in
haste
,
and
very
imperfect
;
so
that
Ensign
Story
(
who
was
there
with
another
Officer
)
thinking
to
hinder
the
Irish
from
getting
into
the
Castle
,
or
at
least
if
they
were
in
,
to
prevent
the
burning
of
it
,
he
goes
with
all
speed
with
a
Party
of
thirty
Men
from
Carolante
towards
Camgart
,
being
not
above
an
English
Mile
;
but
the
Enemy
were
got
in
long
before
,
and
had
secured
all
the
Garrison
,
and
seeing
our
Party
approach
they
kept
themselves
very
close
within
the
Works
.
The
Ensign
and
his
Men
coming
nigh
the
place
,
and
seeing
no
appearance
of
either
Enemies
or
Friends
,
he
posted
his
Men
in
an
Orchard
within
Musquet-shot
of
the
Castle
,
and
himself
with
two
Men
went
up
towards
the
Gate
,
but
being
got
too
nigh
the
Works
,
a
Woman
carrying
Water
to
a
Cabbin
,
made
a
sign
that
the
Enemy
was
within
,
which
occasion'd
the
Ensign
to
stop
,
at
which
they
fired
a
whole
Volley
upon
him
,
killing
himself
and
one
of
the
Men
;
the
Party
could
not
bring
off
the
Ensign's
Body
,
being
so
near
the
Castle
;
but
,
after
some
stay
there
,
they
march'd
off
without
any
further
trouble
from
the
Enemy
.
The
other
Officer
,
Commanding
in
Carolante
,
sent
back
a
Drum
for
Ensign
Story's
Body
,
which
the
Irish
made
some
scruple
to
deliver
,
but
proferr'd
to
bury
him
Honourably
,
which
they
did
,
allowing
his
own
Drum
to
beat
the
Dead
March
before
him
,
and
themselves
fired
three
Vollies
at
his
Grave
,
acknowledging
at
his
Death
some
former
Civilities
from
him
;
which
is
very
rare
with
that
sort
of
People
:
But
this
particular
I
mention
to
show
the
incertainty
of
the
things
of
this
World
;
for
this
Officer
was
well
and
at
liberty
at
nine
a
Clock
in
the
Morning
,
but
before
twelve
he
was
not
only
in
the
power
,
but
buried
by
his
Enemies
,
and
that
with
great
Formality
.
And
a
Man
that
is
at
the
Pains
to
Describe
other
Peoples
Actions
,
may
be
allowed
the
liberty
to
leave
one
Page
to
the
Memory
of
his
own
Brother
.
As
soon
as
the
General
came
to
Mullingar
,
he
ordered
the
Works
that
had
been
made
last
Winter
,

of

there
was
nothing

Within
a
Mile
of

Camp
we
were
joyned
upon
the
march
by
Lieutenant-General
Douglas
with
the
following
Regiments
,
(
viz.
)
Foot
:
Lieutenant-General
Douglas's
,
Brigadier
Stuart's
,
Sir
Henry
Bellasis's
,
Colonel
Tiffin's
,
Colonel
St.
John's
,
Colonel

,
Colonel

and
Colonel

as
also
Colonel

:
Twelve
Troops
of

,
with
Colonel

and
Sir
Albert

.
The
same
day
a
Deserter
of
my
Lord
George
Hamilton's
was
hanged
upon
a
Bush
as
the
Army
march'd
by
.
That
night
the
General
sent
out
a
strong
Party
of
Dragoons
towards
Ballymore
,
as
well
to
prevent
relief
from
getting
in
,
as
to
secure
the
Enemy
from
stealing
of
in
the
night
towards
Athlone
:
These
meeting
with
some
of
that
Garrison

,
killed
four
,
and
brought
in
two
Prisoners
,
one
of
which
was
very
much
wounded
,
and
gave
an
Account
,
That
the
Garrison
in
Ballymore
was
a
Detachment
of
their
best
Men
sent
from
Athlone
,
being
about
a
thousand
in
number

June

the
Army

to

,
Ballymore
besieged
.
and
by
twelve
a
Clock
had
beat
the
Enemy
within
the
Works
,
and
surrounded
the
Fort
;
the
Enemy
firing
their
small
Shot
,
and
two
small
Turkish
Pieces
that
were
mounted
upon
old
Cart-Wheels
.
But
before
I
give
you
an
Account
of
the
taking
this
Fort
,
it
will
not
be
amiss
to
give
you
a
slender
Description
of
it
.
I
do
not
find
any
thing
Remarkable
of
this
place
The
Place
described
.
in
former
times
;
it
's
only
a
small
Village
upon
the
Great
Road
between
Mullingar
and
Athlone
,
being
ten
Miles
distant
from
each
.
The
place
has
always
been
very
poor
,
and
had
only
two
or
three
Houses
of
Entertainment
in
it
,
the
rest
being
all
Irish
Cabbins
,
to
the
number
of
a
hundred
or
thereabouts
,
(
though
now
there
is
neither
House
nor
Cabbin
standing
.
)
A
little
to
the
right
of
the
Town
as
you
go
to
Athlone
,
stood
a
pretty
Church
upon
a
rising
ground
;
about
a
hundred
and
twenty
Yards
from
which
there
lies
a
spot
of
Ground
about
six
Acres
,
which
is
almost
an
Island
,
by
reason
of
a
great
Lough
to
the
East
,
North
,
and
North-East
;
and
on
the
North-West
there
is
Bogg
;
a
small
neck
of
Land
running
from
the
Church
on
the
South-West
,
prevents
it
▪
from
being
altogether
an
Island
.
This
Isthmus
had
been
formerly
Fortified
with
a
double
Ditch
,
and
within
that
a
Stone
Wall
,
and
then
there
stood
a
pretty
strong
House
,
where
one
Widow
White
lived
the
year
before
,
when
Lieutenant-General
Douglas
march'd
that
way
to
Athlone
,
who
took
Protection
,
and
secured
a
good
stock
of
Sheep
and
Cows
in
this
Peninsula
whilst
we
lay
Encamp'd
by
the
Town
.
At
the
further
end
next
the
broadest
part
of
the
Lough
,
stood
a
strong
Danish
Fort
(
as
this
Kingdom
is
every
where
full
of
them
)
now
Fortified
with
a
Ditch
twenty
Foot
broad
and
ten
Foot
deep
,
being
also
Pallisado'd
round
.
Towards
the
East
and
North-East
,
the
Lough
is
so
broad
,
that
Cannon
can
do
no
execution
over
it
;
but
towards
the
South-East
,
there
is
a
large
round
Hill
which
overlooks
the
Island
,
and
from
whence
you
may
see
into
all
places
of
it
.
This
place
was
neglected
by
us
last
year
,
as
being
so
poor
in
it self
,
that
it
could
not
support
a
Garrison
;
but
the
Irish
seeing
the
natural
strength
of
it
,
and
withal
the
advantage
of
disturbing
our
neighbouring
Garrisons
from
thence
,
they
presently
fell
to
work
and
Fortified
it
;
here
they
kept
a
Garrison
all
Winter
,
and
towards
the
Spring
sent
that
Detachment
thither
which
we
now
found

That

pretending

the

desiring

Excellency
to
let

the

But
nothing
less
than
marching
out
with
Bag
and
Baggage
,
Drums
beating
,
Colours
flying
,
&c.
would
satisfie
this
Noble
Governour
:
Upon
which
,
the
General
ordered
all
our
Guns
and
Mortars
to
fall
to
work
,
the
Bombs
tearing
up
the
Sandy
Banks
,
and
the
Irish
running
like
Conies
from
one
Hole
to
another
;
whilst
the
Guns
were
battering
the
Works
and
making
a
Breach
,
the
Irish
in
the
mean
time
did
what
they
could
with
their
two
Guns
and
small
Shot
;
but
Lieutenant-Colonel
Burton
their
Ingineer
,
had
his
Hand
shot
off
from
one
of
our
Batteries
,
and
their
Works
went
down
apace
,
which
made
the
Irish
very
uneasie
.
This
Siege
however
,
was
very
delightful
to
our
whole
Army
,
who
had
a
view
of
it
from
the
adjoyning
Hill
.
My
Lord
Justice
Coningesby
also
,
who
was
now
in
the
Camp
,
and
stay'd
here
for
some
time
,
having
the
satisfaction
of
being
an
Eye-witness
of
the
forwardness
of
our
Soldiers
.

out
a

Flag
,
but
the
General
would
not
take
notice
of
it
;
and
our
Batteries
went
on
with
that
success
,
that
two
Breaches
were
made
,
one
in
the
uttermost
Fort
next
the
Town
,
the
other
on
the
Works
on
the
same
side
within
the
Island
;
and
the
General
seem'd
resolved
to
Storm
the
Fort
next
morning
at
the
coming
up
of
the
Tin
Boats
:
there
were
four
large
Boats
however
then
in
the
Camp
,
which
were
the
Fleet
prepared
last
Year
for
Hoard's
Expedition
upon
the
Shannon
,
and
were
all
Winter
at
Mullingar
.
These
the
General
ordered
to
be
Launched
upon
the
Lough
,
and
filled
with
Armed
Men.
The
Enemy
seeing
this
,
and
their
Island
being
altogether
open
on
that
side
,
they
were
most
terrible
affraid
of
being
all
destroyed
:
So
that
about
seven
a
Clock
they
began
to
beat
a
Parley
again
,
and
hung
out
their
Flag
,
begging
Quarter
for
God's
sake
:
which
the
General
hearing
and
being
in
his
own
temper
a
very
Merciful
Man
,
he
was
pleased
to
order
the
Guns
and
Mortars
to
forbear
firing
;
and
by
eight
of
the
Clock
,
the
Governor
and
some
of

they

General
went
to
view
the
Fort
,
wherein
were
found
fifty
one
Officers
,
seven
hundred
and
eighty
Soldiers
,
and
two
hundred
and
sixty
Rapparees
,
who
were
most
of
them
Arm'd
;
these
were
all
sent
Prisoners
to
Dublin
,
and
from
thence
all
,
except
the
Officers
,
were
sent
to
Lambay
,
an
Island
above
a
League
from
the
Continent
.
There
were
also
nigh
four
hundred
Women
and
Children
,
all
crouded
up
in
this
sad
place
,
who
were
set
at
liberty
.
Our
Men
found
also
in
the
Fort
four
hundred
and
thirty
Sheep
,
about
forty
Cows
,
and
fifty
Garrans
,
and
good
store
of
Oat-meal
.
We
lost
in
this
Action
only
eight
Men
;
and
the
Irish
had
about
forty
kill'd
by
our
Bombs
and
Cannon
.
But
it
seemed
very
inaccountable
to
most
People
,
that
the
Enemy
neither
endeavoured
to
relieve
or
quit
this
place
,
since
they
lost
in
it
above
a
Regiment
of
their
best
Men
;
tho'
this
was
but
what
they
did
afterwards
at
several
places
nigh
Limerick
.
The
10th
.
In
the
Morning
early
two
hundred
Men
Ballymore
better
fortified
.
were
drawn
out
to
work
at
the
Fort
,
which
the
General
had
ordered
to
be
better
fortified
by
a
Line
of
Communication
from
the
Out-works
to
the
Danish
Fort
,
and
other
additions
towards
the
Water-side
;
our
Men
fell
to
work
at
first
in
repairing
the
Breaches
,
but
were
obliged
to
desist
by
bad
Weather
;
however
they
levelled
all
the
Batteries
and
Trenches
that
we
had
made
against
the
Fort.
And
Orders
were
given
out
that
Night
for
one
hundred
Men
of
a
Regiment
to
be
for
the
Works
in
the
Morning
,
with
a
Captain
,
Lieutenant
,
and
Ensign
.
The
Sutlers
that
were
ready
to
go
to
Mullingar
were
to
have
a
Guard
at
the
Hospital
,
where
they
were
to
take
up
what
Men
were
sick
or
wounded
:
And
the
Majors
of
each
Regiment
were
to
have
a
particular
Care
that
the
Mens
Arms
were
fix'd
and
clean
;
which
Orders
were
often
repeated
.
June
the
11th
.
One
Captain
Taylor
and
two
private
Men
desert
from
the
Enemy
,
who
acquaint
us
,
that
my
Lord
Tyrconnel
,
by
a
Declaration
,
dated
May
the
15th
.
had
ordered
all
the
Rapparees
into
Connaught
,
to
recruit
their
Army
;
and
that
the
General
,
St.
Ruth
,
at
his
going
towards
Athlone
,
had
ordered
Brigadier
Maxwel's
Men
to
drive
all
the
Cattle
in
those
parts
in
the
Rear
of
the
Army
,
for
their
support
;
and
that
the
Irish
talk'd
of
giving
us
Battel
;
tho'
they
were
generally
dissatisfied
with
the
few
and
mean
Cloaths
sent
them
out
of
France
,
and
the
small
allowances
of
Provisions
,
&c.
This
Evening
it
was
given
out
in
Orders
,
that
the
Chaplains
should
say
Prayers
at
the
Heads
of
their
respective
Regiments
at
ten
in
the
Morning
and
seven
at
Night
,
and
to
admonish
the
Men
from
Swearing
;
a
Vice
too
common
at
all
times
amongst
us
.
The
12th
.
the
Soldiers
were
prohibited
Gaming
;
and
all
Guards
were
to
be
relieved
constantly
at
nine
a
Clock
.
Our
Line
of
Communication
was
then
finished
,
and
we
were
working
upon
a
Spur
,
Half-Moon
,
and
Horn-Work
,
with
a
good
Ditch
to
cover
the
Draw-Bridge
and
Entrance
to
the
Out-work
.
There
was
also
a
Bastion
begun
to
the
Right
,
towards
the
Lough
,
and
a
large
Half-Moon
towards
the
Left
,
both
which
command
the
new
uttermost
Work
;
and
the
Fort
was
ordered
to
be
amended
by
throwing
part
of
it
down
,
and
building
it
a
new
.
A
Work
was
likewise
designed
along
the
Lough-side
to
cover
those
within
,
that
side
being
open
,
and
none
could
stir
in
the
Fort
but
were
exposed
to
Shot
from
the
Hill
.
A
Platform
was
also
designed
for
eight
Guns
on
the
top
of
the
Mount
.
The
same
Day
ten
Guns
and
three
Mortars
,
left
at
Mullingar
,
were
brought
up
;
and
four
Troopers
desert
the
Enemy
,
who
confirm
the
Report
of
their
being
at
Athlone
with
the
greatest
part
of
their
Army
.
June
the
13th
.
One
hundred
Prisoners
were
sent
from
the
Camp
to
Carne-Castle
,
(
a
place
three
Miles
hence
,
where
the
Rapparees
used
to
shelter
themselves
)
and
demolished
it
.
And
stealing
being
become
very
common
in
the
Camp
,
a
Fellow
was
hanged
for
stealing
an
Horse
;
which
wrought
some
Reformation
for
a
time
.
The
14th
.
and
15th
.
we
continued
improving
the
forementioned
Works
.
On
the
16th
.
a
strong
Party
of
Horse
was
sent
to
view
Athlone
.
And
on
the
17th
.
Lieutenant-Colonel
Toby
Purcell
was
left
Governor
of
Ballymore
,
with
four
Companies
of
Lieutenant-General
Douglas's
Regiment
,
who
went
himself
towards
the
North
,
and
from
thence
to
Flanders
.
The
same
Day
my
Lord
Lisburn
was
sent
out
towards
Lanesborough
with
a
Party
of
two
thousand
Foot
and
five
hundred
Horse
,
who
,
meeting
with
a
small
Party
of
the
Irish
Horse
,
kill'd
two
or
three
,
and
the
rest
fled
in
haste
towards
the
Shannon
,
but
mistaking
the
Ford
one
or
two
more
were
drown'd
.
That
Evening
Orders
were
given
out
,
That
no
Sutler
or
other
Person
whatever
should
buy
any
Ammunition
,
Arms
,
or
Accoutrements
,
or
any
thing
that
belongs
to
the
Soldiers
,
on
pain
of
Death
;
because
the
Soldiers
,
for
a
little
Money
,
would
be
apt
to
sell
their
Cloaths
or
Shooes
.
And
,
if
as
great
Care
were
not
taken
of
most
of
them
as
of
Children
,
they
would
soon
be
in
a
very
indifferent
condition
.

he
could

and
their

about
two
Miles
beyond

march'd
,
and
by
nine
a
Clock
had
beat
the
Enemy
from
several
out
Ditches
to
within
the
Walls
of
the
English
Town
on
this
side
the
River
,
our
Men
lodging
themselves
in
the
same
Ditches
.
For
tho'
the
Irish
quitted
it
the
Year
before
,
and
burnt
the
Houses
both
without
and
within
the
Walls
upon
the
approach
of
Lieutenant-General
Douglas
,
yet
they
designed
to
show
more
Courage
this
time
,
and
defend
this
side
the
River
also
;
which
made
some
blame
Lieutenant-General
Douglas
,
as
guilty
of
an
Over-sight
,
in
not
demolishing
the
Walls
when
he
quitted
it
the
Year
preceeding
;
but
those
that
accompanied
him
in
that
Expedition
know
that
he
had
not
time
for
it
.
And
since
the
Irish
seem'd
so
Brave
,
the
General
was
resolved
to
lose
no
time
,
ordering
three
Guns
to
be
planted
nigh
a
Ford
on
Lanesborough-side
,
which
play'd
all
that
Day
upon
a
Breast-Work
that
the
Enemy
had
on
the
other
side
.
About
six
in
the
Evening
our
Guns
came
up
to
a
Battery
planted
between
Isker
and
Athlone
;
and
that
Night
we
were
hard
at
work
in
raising
another
Battery
,
on
which
we
mounted
nine
eighteen
Pounders
.
And
,
June
the
20th
.
about
eight
a
Clock
in
the
Morning
Batteries
planted
.
our
Battery
began
to
play
on
a
Bastion
not
far
from
Dublin-Gate
;
by
twelve
we
made
a
Breach
the
breadth
of
the
Bastion
,
and
continued
firing
to
prevent
the
Enemy
from
raising
any
Works
within
.
About
three
a
Clock
a
Council
of
War
was
held
,
wherein
the
following
Rules
were
agreed
upon
,
in
order
to
the
storming
the
Place
at
five
.
Which
,
because

To

a
good
Body
of
Horse
were
got
ready
,
and
a
Lieutenant
of
Colonel
Cambon's
Regiment
,
according
to
Orders
,
having
the
Advance
Party
of
thirty
Men
,
went
under
Covert
of
certain
Hills
within
a
hundred
and
fifty
Yards
of
the
Breach
,
then
Advanced
upon
the
Plain
before
his
Men
,
and
the
rest
of
the
Detachments
following
the
Enemy
fired
upon
us
very
smartly
;
but
our
Men
went
on
and
kept
their
fire
till
they
were
at
the
Breach
,
which
the
French
Lieutenant
first
mounted
,
throwing
his
Granade
and
firing
his
Piece
,
ordering
his
Men
to
do
the
like
,
and
with
great
bravery
encouraged
his
Party
,
though
he
lost
his
Life
in
the
Action
.
Our
Granades
so
galled
the
Enemy
,
and
the
Men
pressed
so
fast
upon
the
Breach
,
that
the
other
quit
their
Works
and
run
towards
the
Bridge
,
whither
we
pursued
them
,
and
even
to
the
foot
of

Irish
in
their
hurrying
over
the
Bridge
,
crowded
forwards
so
fast
,
that
several
were
crushed
to
death
,
and
not
a
few
forced
over
the
sides
of
the
Bridge
,
who
were
either
kill'd
or
sore
bruised
.
When
our
Men
had
possession
of
the
Town
they
rung
the
Bell
,
and
covered
themselves
at
the
Bridge
foot
.
We
lost
not
above
twenty
men
,
and
had
about
double
the
number
Wounded
;
the
Enemy
had
about
sixty
killed
and
more
wounded
.
Brigadier
Stuart
was
Wounded
in
this
Action
,
and
one
Captain
,
with
three
private
men
of
the
Enemies

unfortunately
killed
by
a
great
Shot
from
the
Town
,
as
he
lay
viewing
the
Action
upon
the
side
of
an
Hill

That
Evening

were
drawn
off
from

towards
Ballymore
to
meet
the
eleven
Guns
and
three
Mortars
that
were
upon
the
Road
,
and
also
to
hasten
the
Pontoons
.
This
Evening
a
Battery
was
begun
at
the
foot
of
the
Bridge
to
the
Right
,
for
five
Twenty-four
Pounders
,
and
a
Floor
made
for
six
Mortars
.
The
22d
.
about
five
in
the
Morning
,
our
Batteries
were
finished
,
and
by
six
the
Cannon
and
Mortars
begun
to
play
very
briskly
on
the
North-East
side
of
the
Castle
where
it
was
weakest
,
and
by
seven
in
the
Evening
a
large
Breach
appear'd
in
the
Wall
.
In
the
Afternoon
a
French
Lieutenant-Colonel
was
brought
off
by
our
Men
,
who
had
laid
under
the
Bridge
since
the
Attack
;
he
was
sore
bruised
,
and
his
Back
almost
broke
,
but
seemed
not
to
be
so
much
afflicted
with
his
own
private
Misfortune
,
as
in
being
engaged
with
a
People
who
were
like
to
prove
but
very
indifferent
defenders
of
his
Master
the
French
King's
Interest
in
that
Kingdom
.
The
23d
.
our
Guns
and
Mortars
continued
firing
all
Night
with
that
success
,
that
by
five
in
the
Morning
the
whole
side
of
the
Castle
was
beaten
down
,
and
our
Bombs
had
that
effect
upon
it
,
as
to
make
it
very
unserviceable
to
the
Enemy
,
who
were
now
forced
to
make
an
Hole
on
the
West-side
of
the
Wall
to
get
out
and
in
,
though
in
a
day
or
two
they
had
no
business
there
at
all
.

Afternoon
our
Tin
Boats
,
Floats
,
and
other
Materials
,
came
to
the
Camp
,
with
Colonel
Byerley's
and
my
Lord
of
Oxford's
Regiments
,
and
a
great
many
People
were
set
to
work
to
repair
those
Boats
that
were
spoiled
the
Year
before
nigh
Limerick
;
for
there
being
more
New
ones
expected
from
England
than
really
came
,
and
what
we
had
being
judged
too
few
,
those
Old
Boats
were
brought
out
of
a
place
where
they
had
been
thrown
by
,
and
so
were
fitted
up
to
lay
next
the
Shore
;
which
occasion'd
a
Report
,
that
they
were
concealed
on
purpose
by
the
Store-keeper
;
but
the
thing
was
as
it
is
here
related
.
The
same
Afternoon
a
Prisoner
was
taken
nigh
the
Bridge
,
who
gave
an
Account
,
that
Sixty-four
Men
were
in
a
Mill
upon
the
Bridge
,
which
being
fired
by
our
Granades
,
and
those
within
not
being
able
to
quench
it
,
nor
get
thence
,
they
were
all
consumed
with
the
Fire
,
except
the
Prisoner
and
one
more
that
escaped
by
leaping
into
the
Water
.

of

the
Day
before
,
about

.
The
24th
.
was
spent
in
raising
three
Batteries
,
one
below
the
Bridge
,
another
above
it
,
and
a
third
without
the
Town-Wall
by
the
River-side
,
opposite
to
a
Bastion
the
Enemy
had
made
on
the
other
side
the
River
.
That
Evening
one
of
my
Lord
Lisburn's
Men
going
under
the
Bridge
to
see
for
Plunder
,
found
a
pair
of
Colours
amongst
the
dead
Men
;
and
tho'
the
Enemy
fired
a
great
many
Shot
at
him
,
yet
he
brought
them
off
flying
,
and
presented
them
to
the
General
,
who
rewarded
the
Soldier
with
five
Guinnea's
.

now

Methods
of
passing
the
River
,
and
a
Lieutenant
of
Horse
was
commanded
with
a
Party
to
a
Ford
towards
Lanesborough
,
where
the
General
was
informed
there
might
be
an
easie
and
undiscovered
Passage
for
most
of
our
Army
,
whilst
our
Cannon
amused
the
Enemy
at
the
Town
.
This
Party
went
and
found
the
Pass
according
to
Information
;
but
tho'
he
was
positively
ordered
to
return
as
soon
as
he
had
passed
the
River
,
yet
such
are
the
powerful
Charms
of
Black
Cattle
,
to
some
sorts
of
People
,
that
the
Lieutenant
espying
a
Prey
some
distance
from
him
on
the
other
side
,
must
needs
be
scampering
after
them
;
by
which
means
our
Design
was
discovered
,
and
the
Enemy
immediately
provided
against
it
,
by
throwing
up
strong
Works
on
the
other
side

where
our

were
lodged

;
with
the
other
they
shot
into

of

them
to

distance

play'd
on

did
it

great
Damage

also

of

upon
the
Enemies
Works
,
and
a
great
many
were
kill'd
in
endeavouring
to
repair
them
.
About
thirty
Waggons
loaden
with
Powder
come
to
the
Camp
;
and
that
Night
we
possess
our selves
of
all
the
Bridge
,
except
one
Arch
at
the
farther
end
on
Connaught
side
,
which
was
broken
down
,
and
we
repair
another
broken
Arch
in
our
possession
;
and
all
Night
our
Guns
and
Mortars
play
most
furiously
.
For
the
Design
of
passing
the
River
at
the
Ford
being
frustrate
,
the
General
and
the
other
Great
Officers
resolve
to
try
what
can
be
done
in
forcing
our
way
through
Athlone
it self
,
and
therefore
we
labour
hard
to
gain
the
Bridge
;
but
what
we
got
here
was
Inch
by
Inch
as
it
were
,
the
Enemy
sticking
very
close
to
it
,
though
great
Numbers
of
them
were
slain
by
our
Guns
:
And
this
Service
cost
us
great
store
of
Ammunition
.
The
27th
.
seven
Rapparees
were
brought
in
,
being
taken
at
Ballynehewen
;
to
which
place
the
General
ordered
a
Garrison
of
a
Lieutenant
and
twenty
Men.
That
Afternoon
one
hundred
Carrs
came
from
Dublin
to
the
Camp
loaden
with
Cannon-Ball
:
And
all
that
Day
our
Guns
and
Mortars
fired
without
intermission
.
We
raised
also
a
Battery
of
five
Guns
in
the
Meadow
below
the
Town
,
to
stop
the
way
the
Enemy
had
on
that
side
of
coming
into
the
Town
.
And
in
the
Evening
our
Men
burn
the
Breast-Works
the
Enemy
had
on
the
other
side
the
broken
Arch
with
throwing
their
Granado's
;
for
most
of
these
being
made
of
Fascines
,
and
the
Weather
being
hot
,
they
soon
dried
and
easily
took
fire
.
That
Night
we
wrought
very
hard
on
the
last
Arch
in
the
Enemies
possession
.
So
that
on
,
Sunday
the
28th
.
in
the
Morning
our
Beams
were
laid
The
Enemy
ruin
our
Works
.
over
and
partly
planked
;
which
the
Enemy
perceiving
,
they
detach'd
a
Sergeant
and
ten
Men
out
of
Brigadier
Maxwell's
Regiment
,
being
all
bold
and
daring
Scots
,
these
were
all
in
Armour
,
and
came
over
their
own
Works
with
a
design
to
ruin
ours
,
but
were
all
of
them
slain
;
and
yet
this
did
not
discourage
as
many
more
from
setting
about
the
same
piece
of
Service
,
and
they
effected
it
by
throwing
down
our
Planks
and
Beams
,
maugre
all
our
Firing
and
Skill
,
tho'
they
all
lost
their
Lives
as
Testimonies
of
their
Valour
,
except
two
who
escaped
amongst
all
the
Fire
and
Smoak
:
This
made
us
resolved
to
carry
on
our
Work
by
a
close
Gallery
on
the
Bridge
;
which
was
done
.
But
all
last
Night
and
that
Morning
the
Enemy
were
hard
at
work
,
in
repairing
some
old
,
and
making
new
Trenches
in
the
Meadow
opposite
to
our
new
Battery
;
and
our
Guns
are
now
playing
very
briskly
,
especially
on
a
place
called
Connaught-Tower
,
which
stood
on
the
North-side
the
Castle
,
and
was
so
solid
,
that
it
took
up
more
time
to
bring
down
than
any
one
part
of
the
Castle
.
This
Afternoon
a
Council
of
War
was
held
,
wherein
A
design
to
pass
the
Shannon
.
it
was
concluded
,
That
next
Morning
we
should
attempt
passing
the
Shannon
;
one
Party
to
go
over
the
Bridge
;
a
second
to
pass
upon
the
Floats
and
Pontoons
;
and
a
third
Detachment
were
to
go
over
the
Ford
below
the
Bridge
;
where
our
Horse
were
also
to
pass
and
second
the
Foot
;
a
large
Breach
being
made
on
the
other
side
for
their
entrance
.
And
accordingly
at
Night
Orders
were
given
out
,
That
forty
three
Granadeers
,
eighty
three
private
Men
,
three
Captains
,
five
Lieutenants
,
two
Ensigns
,
and
seven
Sergeants
out
of
each
Regiment
,
with
fifteen
Shots
a
Man
,
and
every
one
a
green
Bough
in
his
Hat
,
should
be
ready
by
six
a
Clock
in
the
Morning
under
the
Walls
of
the
Town
,
and
all
to
be
commanded
by
Major-General
Mackay
;
but
the
whole
to
be
done
with
the
greatest
silence
and
secresie
imaginable
.
Killkenny
was
the
Word
that
Night
.
The
29th
.
in
the
Morning
our
Men
were
ready
according
to
Orders
,
and
march'd
to
the
Town-Wall
,
where
they
stood
at
their
Arms
;
but
before
our
Boats
and
their
Appurtenances
could
be
drawn
into
the
Town
it
was
ten
a
Clock
;
and
all
this
Morning
we
observed
great
Bodies
of
the
Enemy
march
into
the
Irish
Town
(
though
our
Cannon
were
very
troublesome
to
them
)
for
the
Irish
guessing
at
our
Design
,
or
rather
being
assured
of
it
by
some
Deserters
,
they
drew
a
very
considerable
Body
of
their
choicest
Men
to
their
Works
.
But
whilst
these
Preparations
were
making
on
both
sides
,
the
Granadiers
of
both
Parties
that
defended
the
Breast-works
on
the
Bridge
,
throwing
The
Enemy
burn
our
close
Gallery
.
Hand-Granadoes
one
at
the
other
;
the
Enemies
Granadoes
set
fire
to
our
Fascines
that
lay
close
on
the
broken
Arch
where
our
Gallery
was
,
which
suddenly
flamed
so
violently
,
that
our
Men
could
not
endure
the
Fire
and
Smoke
that
blew
in
their
faces
;
and
though
they
laboured
very
hard
to
extinguish
it
,
yet
could
not
prevent
the
burning
that
part
of
the
Breast-work
next
the
broken
Arch
,
but
preserved
all
the
rest
,
by
raising
another
Breast-work
on
a
sudden
just
behind
the
burnt
one
.
By
this
time
it
was
past
twelve
a
Clock
,
and
the
Generals
finding
the
Attack
upon
the
Town
that
way
like
to
cost
many
Lives
,
they
deferr'd
it
till
new
Measures
were
Consulted
on
;
nor
knew
they
well
what
to
think
at
present
,
seeing
themselves
defeated
in
so
great
a
Project
;
and
,
as
it
fell
out
,
Providence
in
all
appearance
had
ordered
it
for
the
best
;
for
it
's
probable
,
that
if
our
Men
had
really
forced
the
Bridge
at
that
time
,
they
would
have
run
great
hazards
in
storming
the
Town
,
the
Enemy
being
so
well
provided
for
them
;
and
then
our
Retreat
could
not
have
been
without
the
ruin
of
more
Men
than
it
has
pleased
God
we
lost
in
all
the
Actions
since
.
All
that
Afternoon
our
Guns
continue
firing
.
And
also
,
June
the
30.
Our
Canon
play
without
ceasing
and
in
the
Afternoon
another
Council
of
War
was
held
,
wherein
the
difficulties
of
staying
there
any
longer
were
represented
,
all
the
Forrage
being
consumed

Council
of
War
.
for
several
Miles
round
,
so
that
they
must
resolve
to
do
something
with
Expedition
,
or
else
to
remove
with
the
whole
Army
to
some
more
likely
Pass
,
which
wanted
not
its
inconveniencies
neither
,
since
by
this
means
the
Enemy
were
encouraged
,
and
our
own
men
disheartened
at
the
beginning
of
the
Campaign
,
and
not
only
so
,
but
upon
our
removing
there
was
a
way
open
for
the
Enemy
even
to
Dublin
it self
,
at
least
into
all
the
Countries
adjacent
,
by
which
means
we
must
expose
at
least
our
Provisions
to
hazzard
,
and
so
be
forced
to
go
back
to
make
a
defensive
,
instead
of
an
offensive
War
;
And
on
the
other
hand
to
make
an
Attack
upon
the
Town
,
not
to
succeed
,
and
then
be
forced
to
remove
wou'd
be
of
more
fatal
Consequence
.
However
,
the
Duke
of
Wertenberg
,
the
Major
Generals
,
Mackey
,
Talmash
,
Ruvigny
and
Tetteau
,
urged
that
no
brave
Action
could
be
attempted
without
hazzard
,
and
considering
the
goodness
of
our
own
men
,
and
the
faintness
of
the
Enemy
in
all
great
Attacks
that
had
been
made
upon
them
,
hitherto
,
they
stood
up
for
the
probability
of
the
attempt
,
proffering
themselves
to
be
the
first
that
shou'd
indeavour
to
force
the
Enemies
Works
in
their
own
persons
,
(
particularly
Major
General
Talmash
,
very
forward
and
instrumental
in
promoting
was
of
it
,
)
which
they
happily
performed
accordingly
,
for
the
Detachment
drawn
down
the
day
before
was
ordered
still
to
be
in
a
readiness
,
and
A
Party
ordered
to
pass
the
River
.
the
General
gave
Command
that
they
should
be
all
brought
three
days
before
,
by
three
of
the
Danes
,
(
one
being
a
reformed
Officer
,
who
with
two
more
,
boldly
ventured
in
the
face
of
all
their
Works
,
and
in
opposition
to
their
Vollies
which
were
made
at
them
,
and
that
at
Noon-day
)
and
found
passable
,
so
that
all
things
being
in
this
order
,
six
minutes
past
six
a
Clock
,
Capt.
Sandys
and
two
Lieutenants
led
the
first
Party
of
60.
Granadeers
all
in
Armour
,
and
20
a

,
seconded
by
another
good
Body
,
who
all
with
an
amazing
resolution
took
the
River
,
the
Stream
being
very
Rapid
and
deep
,
at
which
time
our
Great
and
Small
Shot
began
to
play
from
our
Batteries
and
Works
on
our
side
upon
the
Enemies
Works
on
the
other
,
and
they
fired
as
thick
as
possible
for
them
upon
our
men
that
were
passing
the
River
,
who
forced
their
way
thro
Fire
and
Smoak
,
and
gaining
the
other
Bank
,
the
rest
laid
Planks
over
the
broken
part
of
the
Bridge
,
and
others
were
laying
the
Bridge
of
Boats
,
by
which
our
men
past
over
so
fast
that
in
less
than
half
an
hour
we
were
Masters
of
the
Town
;
and
all
the
Trenches
except
one
beyond
the
Town
,
for
the
Irish
being
amazed
at
the
suddenness
of
the
thing
,
and
the
resolution
of
our
men
,
with
no
great
difficulty
began
to
give
ground
,
and
soon
after
made
the
best
of
their
way
towards
their
Camp
,
tho
a
great
many
of
them
were
killed
in
their
Works
;
and
yet
it
's
observable
that
our
men
when
they
saw
themselves
really
Masters
of
the
Town
,
were
not
at
all
forward
to
kill
those
at
their
mercy
,
tho
it
was
in
a
manner
in
the
heat
of
Action
,
but
the
Rubbish
and
Stuff
thrown
down
by
our
Cannon
was
more
difficult
to
climb
over
than
a
great
part
of
the
Enemies
Works
,
which
occasioned
our
Soldiers
to
Swear
and
Curse
even
amongst
the
Bullets
themselves
,
upon
which
Major
General
Mackay
told
them
that
they
had
more
reason
to
fall
upon
their
Knees
and
thank
God
for
the
Victory
,
and
that
they
were
brave
men
,
and
the
best
of
men
if
they
would
Swear
less
.
The
Soldiers
however
got
good
store
of
Plunder
What

were
●●und
in

amongst
the
Ruines
,
and
a
great
many
dead
men
were
found
in
the
Castle
;
there
were
six
Brass

and
two
Mortars
in
Town
,
with
about
20
Barrels
of
Powder
,
12
Hogsheads
of

,
some

,
and
a
great
many
other

.
We
lost
in
this
Action
only
12
men
,
and
Lieutenant
Col.
Collumbine
with
4
more
Officers
and
30
Soldiers
wounded

The

to

,
then
in

Camp
signing
Articles
against
My
Lord
Tyrconel
,
as
some
say
,
but
going
out
a
shooting
as
others
report
,
who
when
he
heard
the
news
,
said
it
was
impossible
that
the
English
should
pretend
to
take
a
Town
and
he
so
near
with
an
Army
to
Succour
it
,
but
being
very
soon
assured
that
the
English
were
actually
possest
of
the
place
,
he
lamented
his
misfortune
extreamly
,
and
ordered
several
Detachments
to
beat
the
English
out
again
,
but
then
he
was
sensible
of
a
former
oversight
,
in
not
demolishing
those
Fortifications
of
Athlone
next
his
own
Camp
,
for
now
the
English
possest
their
own
Works
entire
against
themselves
.
(
Tho
some
say
that
St.
Ruth
had
given
orders
for
those
Works
to
be
thrown
down
the
next
day
)
several
Parties
however
of
the
Irish
,
both
Horse
and
Foot
came
in
all
hast
towards
the
Town
,
and
stopt
their
men
that
were
running
away
at
the
furthest
Trenches
:
Upon
which
Col.
Gustavus
Hambleton
advanced
with
a
Party
of
Granadeers
,
and
there
was
a
pretty
warm
dispute
for
some
time
,
and
Major
General
Maxwell
,
newly
made
a
Prisoner
,
was
confident
they
would
beat
us
out
again
,
but
when
he
saw
them
retreat
upon
our
mens
advancing
and
firing
,
he
was
soon
convinced
of
his
mistake
.
Athlone
,
it
seems
in
the
last
Wars
,
was
neither
well
fortified
nor
provided
,
for
Sir
Charles
Coot
with

choice
Horse
and
as
many
Foot
went
towads
Sligoe
,
and
made
a
shew
of
sitting
down
before
it
,
but
slipt
over
the
Curlue
Mountains
,
and
with
no
great
difficulty
took
Athlone
,
as
also
Portumna
,
whilst
Ireton
with
the
main
Body
of
their
Army
forced
Killalow
Pass
,
and
sat
down
before
Limerick
.
But
this
last
was
an
Action
that
is
scarce
to
be
parallelled
in
History
,
that
a
strong
Town
shou'd
be
taken
by
Storm
cross
a
great
and
rapid
River
,
when
a
powerful
Army
lay
within
less
than
two
Miles
to
support
it
;
but
the
same
providential
attendance
that
waited
upon
us
at
first
,
did
now
and
afterwards
assist
us
.
But
it
will
not
be
improper
to
leave
the
General
and
his
Army
for
a
while
at
Athlone
,
and
see
what
happened
in
these
active
times
in
several
other
places
of
the
Kingdom
,
for
tho
the
Irish
had
drawn
most
of
their
Forces
towards
Athlone
,
with
a
design
if
possible
to
oppose
our
passing
the
Shannon
,
yet
they
being
at
this
time
all
of
one
side
,
and
consequently
very
numerous
,
they
ordered
matters
so
,
as
a
great
many
Rapparees
,
and
some
of
their
Army
were
left
in
different
parts
of
the
Kingdom
,
especially
in
the
Counties
of
Cork
,
Sligoe
,
and
Kerry
,
who
waited
all
opportunities
to
do
us
what
mischief
lay
in
their
power
,
and
this
was
one
reason
that

,

,
as
well
to
keep

on

side
,
as
to
secure
those
Garrisons
from

Regiment
called
the
Prince
of
Wales's
,
under
one
Delany
a
Franciscan

near
Castle-Town
,
not
far
from

being
frighted
with
a
Rumour
that
part

all
indeavour'd

A
Brief
account
of
what
happned
in
other
places
of
the
Kingdom
,
during
this
Month.
THE
first
of
July
,
My
Lord
Portland's
Regiment
of
Guards
Landed
at
Dublin
,
and
marcht
in
two
or
three
Days
towards
the
Camp
;
upon
our
taking
the
Town
,
Mons.
St.
Ruth
with
the
Irish
Army
The
Irish
Army
decamp
.
decamped
that
night
,
and
marcht
towards
Milton
Pass
;
and
next
day
about
10
a
Clock
their
Reer
Guard
of
Horse
stood
on
the
other
side
of
Melahy
,
their
Foot
vanishing
out
of
sight
toward
Balynasloe
:
for
Monsieur
St.
Ruth
,
being
out-done
in
so
considerable
a
matter
as
the
losing
Athlone
,
he
was
resolved
to
retrieve
his
loss
or
Dye
,
since
he
could
not
be
answerable
to
his
Master
that
imployed
him
for
what
had
already
happened
:
and
therefore
he
used
all
the
means
possible
to
strengthen
his
Army
&
find
out
a
convenient
place
of
advantage
to
try
his
Fortune
in
,
since
he
saw
that
we
were
not
shye
in
affording
him
opportunities
;
&
now
he
begins
to
be
very
kind
to
,
and
familiar
with
the
Irish
Officers
,
whom
formerly
he
had
treated
with
Disrespect
and
Contempt
;
and
to
Caress
the
Soldiers
,
tho
a
little
before
,
he
would
Hang
a
Dozen
of
them
in
a
morning
,
for
very
slender
faults
,
as
they
thought
:
he
draws
therefore
his
Army
into
the
most
convenient
posture
he
could
,
to
watch
our
Motions
.
The
first
thing
our
General
did
after
the
Town
was
The
Dead
about
Athlone
Buried
.
taken
,
was
to
order
the
Dead
in
and
about
the
Town
to
be
buryed
;
and
in
the
Evening
all
our
Army
was
drawn
up
,
and
41
pieces
of
Cannon
fared
three
rounds
,
being
seconded
by
the
Horse
and
Foot
,
and
then
followed
Bonfires
for
Joy
that
the
Town
was
taken
,
which
had
cost
us
12000
Cannon
Bullets
,
600
Bombs
,
nigh
50
Tun
of
Powder
,
and
a
great
many
Tun
of
Stones
shot
out
of
our
Mortars
.
But
after
the
Town
was
taken
,
the
Soldiers
were
many
of
them
unruly
,
and
committed
several
outrages
;
therefore
it
was
given
out
in
Orders
that
night
,
that
no
Soldier
should
go
to
the
Town
,
or
over
the
Water
,
on
pain
of
Death
:
and
the
Sutlers
that
went
to
Dublin
,
were
ordered
to
go
to
the
Hospital
,
and
take
up
the
sick
and
wounded
Men.
And
here
let
me
observe
once
for
all
,
that
we
had
much
better
conveniencies
for
our
Sick
and
Wounded
this
Campaign
than
formerly
,
having
a
great
many
large
Tents
set
up
in
form
of
a
Quadrangle
,
with
Quilts
and
other
conveniencies
for
every
Soldier
:
nor
was
Dr.
Lawrence
,
Physitian
to
the
Army
;
Charles
Thomson
Esquire
,
Chirurgeon
General
;
Mr
Thomas
Proby
,
and
the
rest
of
the
Chirurgeons
wanting
in
their
careful
industry
to
recover
and
heal
the
Sick
and
Wounded
;
which
no
doubt
must
be
a
great
incouragement
to
the
poor
Soldiers
,
when
they
know
that
if
any
misfortune
attends
them
,
they
shall
undoubtedly
be
taken
care
for
.
The
Enemy
Resolve
to
give
us
Battle
.
July
the
2
d.
We
had
an
account
by
some
Deserters
,
that
the
Enemies
Foot
were
gone
beyond
Balynasloe
,
and
their
Horse
were
Encampt
on
this
side
of
it
;
that
they
resolved
to
stay
thereabouts
and
Fight
us
,
tho
at
present
they
were
in
a
great
Consternation
,
and
seem'd
doubtful
of
their
own
performances
.
A
great
many
of
the
Country
people
and
Deserters
came
hourly
in
,
and
the
General
gave
them
all
protections
,
assuring
them
that
they
shou'd
be
kept
Inviolable
against
any
of
our
Army
or
others
,
resolving
to
punish
the
Offenders
with
Death
:
but
on
the
other
hand
expected
all
conformity
of
dutiful
Subjects
to
their
Majesties
from
them
:
and
if
any
were
found
to
carry
Intelligence
to
the
Enemy
,
or
harbour
,
succour
or
conceal
them
,
they
should
suffer
Death
for
it
.
This
day
the
General
had
an
account
from
one
Capt.
Aughmouty
,
that
the
Enemy
had
quitted
Lanesbourgh
,
and
that
he
with
his
Troop
had
possest
himself
thereof
.
July
the
3
d.
The
General
commanded
his
Army
The
Works
of
A●hlone
repaired
.
to
begin
the
repairing
the
Works
of
Athlone
,
which
were
strangely
shattered
by
our
Cannon
,
and
not
one
House
left
whole
in
all
the
Town
:
Especially
the
Castle
,
which
was
beat
down
to
the
ground
on
the
Southeast
side
,
as
was
also
the
Tower
within
it
;
we
fell
to
work
therefore
,
and
put
some
few
shattered
Houses
in
a
condition
to
hold
our
Magazines
and
Stores
,
which
were
daily
coming
up
from
Dublin
and
Mullingar
,
and
without
which
we
could
not
march
forwards
.
That
morning
William
Robinson
Esquire
,
one
of
the
Pay-masters
to
the
Army
,
came
with
Money
,
as
also
many
Waggons
and
Carts
,
with
Ammunition
and
other
Mecessaries
.
A
Trumpeter
returns
with
an
answer
of
a
Letter
sent
to
the
Enemy
,
about
the
exchange
of
Prisoners
.
The
Fourth
proved
very
Rainy
,
yet
our
Men
were
imployed
in
clearing
the
Streets
;
repairing
the
Breaches
,
and
mounting
four
of
the
Enemies
Guns
taken
in
the
Town
,
upon
some
of
our
spare
Carriages
.
That
Evening
a
Party
of
20
Horse
and
ten
of
Kirk's
Granadeers
A
party
of
our
Horse
surprized
.
mounted
were
sent
out
to
view
the
Enemies
Camp
,
being
Guided
and
Commanded
by
one
Higgins
a
Converted
Priest
;
but
they
fell
into
an
Ambush
of
400
of
the
Enemies
Horse
,
in
the
Woods
of
Clanoult
,
our
men
defended
a
Bridge
,
and
fought
stoutly
for
some
time
,
but
were
at
last
broke
,
15
kill'd
,
and
4
taken
Prisoners
,
the
rest
escaping
with
Higgins
,
who
was
sadly
Wounded
.
The
5th

Major
General
Maxwell

and
other
Prisoners
were
sent
towards
Dublin
,
but
some
of
them
make
their
escapes
.
Three

Col.
Parker's
,
and
as
many
out
of
My
Lord
Antrim's
Regiments

us
.
The
6th

The
Prisoners
sent
to
Dublin
.
one
of
our
men
taken
Prisoner
,
two
days
before
was
released
by
Lieutenant
General
Sheldon
;
and
that
Evening
it
was
given
out
in
Orders
,
to
be
ready
to

in
the
morning
,
the
left
Wing
over
the
Pontoons
▪
and
the
right
Wing
over
the
Bridge
,
which
was
now
repaired
,
and
every
Soldier
was
to
have
15
shot
of
Powder
.
The
7th
.
the
Army
marched
over
the
River
,
and
a
Prisoner
that
had
made
his
escape
going
to
Mullingar
was
taken
nigh
Banoher
,
and
having
stole
a
Horse
,
he
was
hanged
with
a
Rapparee
,
guilty
of
the
like
Fact
:
Capt.
Villers
returns
with
30.
Horse
from
viewing
the
Enemy
still
at
Balynasloe
,
and
the
Militia
possess
some
Passes
upon
the
Shanon
.
And
because
a
Declaration
published
this
day
by
the
Lords
Justices
,
by
direction
from
England
,
made
a
great
noise
,
both
in
the
Enemies
Camp
and
ours
;
as
also
all
the
Kingdom
over
,
during
the
remainder
of
the
Campaign
,
being
that
upon
which
the
Articles
of
Galway
and
Limerick
,
and
all
the
Irish
Capitulations
were
afterwards
founded
,
it
will
not
be
amiss
here
to
give
you
the
Declaration
it self
,
at
large
as
it
was

.
By
the

great
Success

toward
the
Reduction

,
that
in
all
probability
the
whole
must
in
a
short
time
be
brought
under
Their
Majesties
Obedience
,
with
great
Effusion
of
Blood
and
Destruction
of

it
was
ordered
that
the
Officers
of
the
Quarter-Guards
should
go
frequent
Rounds
,
and
send
all
the
Souldiers
they
found
Gameing
,
or
Drinking
,
after
Taptoe
,
to
the
Provoe's
;
the
General
being
much
displeased
at
such
Disorders
,
by
means
of
which
a
great
many
irregular
things
were
done
,
especially
,
Plundering
and
Robbing
of
Tents
,
which
yet
was
continued
(
tho
several
were
made
Examples
)
to
the
very
end
of
the
Campaign
.
It
was
also
ordered
that
an
Account
of
all
those
that
were
killed
and
wounded
,
since
our
coming
to
this
Town
,
should
be
returned
to
the
Adjutant
General
,
which
was
about
Sixty
Killed
and
a
Hundred
and
Twenty
wounded

And
that
the
General
might
leave
nothing
unattempted
which
might
contribute
to
the
bringing
the
Enemy
over
by
fair
means
,
he
settled
Allowances

Our
Army
March
from
Athlone
.
of
July
,
the
General
having
left
Col.
Lloyd
Governour
of
Athlone
,
with
his
own
,
and
Lieut.
Gen.
Douglas's
Regiments
,
he
moved
forwards
with
the
Army
,
and
Encamped
that
Night
at
Killcashel
,
7
Miles
nearer
to
the
Enemy
,
whence
the
General
went
to
view
the
Pass
at
Ballynasloe
,
a
small
Village
upon
the
River
Suck
,
where
stands
a
Castle
,
built
formerly
by
the
Ancestors
of
my
Lord
Clanrickard
;
from
hence
the
Enemy
was
retired
3
Miles
further
.
Saturday
the
11th
.
we
marcht
to
Ballynasloe
,
and
encampt
along
the
River
Suck
,
upon
the
Roscomon
side
;
this
is
a
good
Pass
,
and
the
Irish
might
have
given
us
some
trouble
in
gaining
it
;
but
that
they
had
found
out
a
much
better
place
as
will
soon
appear
.
As
our
Army
was
Encamping
,
our
Great
Officers
went
to
the
Hills
of
Knocksdunloe
,
in
the
County
of
Galway
,
about
a
Mile
distant
from
our
Camp
,
from
whence
they
could
see
the
Enemies
out-Guards
,
upon
the
Hills
of
Corbally
,
who
upon
our
Approach
retired
to
the
Isker
of
Liscappull
,
two
Miles
from
Ballynasloe
,
upon
which
we
advanced
to
the
Hills
of
Corbally
,
whence
we
could
take
a
view
of
the
Enemies
Camp
,
which
lay
on
the
other
side
Aghrim
Castle
,
three
Miles
beyond
Balynasloe
,
and
extended
it self
from
the
Church
of
Killeommodon
,
on
their
Right
,
to
a
place
called
Gourtnapory
,
above
two
Miles
in
length
:
on
their
Left
ran
a
small
Brook
,
having
The
Enemies
Camp
,
and
Posture
describ'd
.
steep
Hills
,
and
little
Boggs
on
each
side
,
next
to
which
was
a
large
Red
Bogg
,
almost
a
Mile
over
,
at
the
end
of
which
stood
the
Castle
of
Aghrim
,
Commanding
the
way
to
their
Camp
,
passable
for
Horse
,
no where
but
just
at
the
Castle
,
by
reason
of
a
small
River
,
which
running
through
a
moist
Ground
,
made
the
whole
a
Morass
or
Bogg
,
which
extended
it self
all
along
to
the
Enemies
Right
,
where
was
also
another
Pass
called
Vrachree
,
having
a
rising
Ground
on
each
side
of
it
;
the
Enemies
Camp
lay
along
the
Ridge
of
an
Hill
,
on
the
side
of
which
stood
two
Danish
Forts
,
from
thence
to
the
Bogg
below
was
nigh
half
a
Mile
,
and
this
cut
into
a
great
many
small
Enclosures
,
which
the
Enemy
had
ordered
so
as
to
make
a
Communication
from
one
of
them
to
another
,
and
had
lined
all
those
very
thick
with
Small
Shot
;
this
shewed
a
great
deal
of
Dexterity
in
Monsieur
St.
Ruth
,
in
making
choice
of
such
a
piece
of
Ground
as
Nature
it self
could
not
furnish
him
with
a
better
,
considering
all
Circumstanstances
;
for
he
knew
that
the
Irish
naturally
loved
a
Breast-work
between
them
and
Bullets
,
and
here
they
were
fitted
to
the
purpose
,
with
Hedges
and
Ditches
to
the
very
edge
of
the
Bog
.
The
General
upon
viewing
the
Posture
of
the
Enemy
,
and
a
Map
given
him
of
the
Ground
,
he
found
it
no
easie
matter
to
Attack
them
;
but
resolved
however
to
march
toward
them
next
day
;
and
therefore
it
was
given
out
in
Orders
at
Night
,
that
all
the
Army
(
except
two
Regiments
left
to
Guard
the
Baggage
)
should

Orders

Night
.
be
under
Arms
next
Morning
without
beat
of
Drum
,
and
no
Baggage
to
stir
,
nor
any
Tents
to
be
removed
,
nor
yet
any
to
march
with
the
Regiments
but
such
as
carry
Arms
,
and
those
to
march
as
strong
as
possible
,
with
all
their
Arms
fixt
and
clean
;
those
that
wanted
Ammunition
were
presently
to
have
it
from
the
Stores
;
the
Granadiers
were
to
be
drawn
to
the
Right
and
Left
of
each
Regiment
,
with
two
Shells
a
piece
,
and
five
Pyoniers
to
be
ready
at
the
Head
of
each
Regiment
when
called
for
;
the
Word
,
that
Night
,
was
Dublin
.
Monsieur
St.
Ruth
,
at
the
approach
of
our
Army
,
seeing
us
resolved
to
give
him
Battel
,
he
gave
his
Men
all
the
due
Encouragement
that
possibly
he
could
,
ordering
Masses
and
Prayers
to
be
said
in
all
Parts
of
the
Army
.
And
as
the
Report
goes
,
the
Irish
were
obliged
by
their
Priests
not
to
give
Quarter
to
any
Soul
living
,
but
to
pursue
every
Man
to
Destruction
,
they
being
assured
of
a
most
glorious
Victory
;
and
St.
Ruth
himself
is
said
to
have
made
the
following
Speech
,
to
the
Irish
,
the
day
before
the
Battel
,

afterwards

the
Papers
of

you

St.
Ruths
supposed
Speech
to
the
Irish

World
,
what
Glory
I
have
acquired
,
and
how
Successful
and
Fortunate
I
have
been
in
Suppressing
Heresie
in
France
,
and
propagating
the
Holy
Catholick
Faith
;
and
can-without
Vanity
boast
my Self
the
happy
Instrument
of
b●inging
over
thousands
of
poor
deluded
Souls
from
their
errours
,
who
owe
their
Salvation
to
the
pious
care
of
my
thrice
Illustrious
Master
,
and
my
own
Industry
,
assisted
by
some
holy
Members
of
our
unspotted
Church
:
while
great
numbers
of
those
incourigable
Hereticks
have
perished
both
Soul
and
Body
by
their
obstinacy
.
It
was
for
this
reason
that
the
most
Puissant
King
my
Master
,
Compassionating
the
miseries
of
this
Kingdom
,
hath
chosen
me
before
so
many
worthy
Generals
to
come
hither
,
not
doubting
but
by
my
wonted
Diligence
I
should
Establish
the
Church
in
this
Nation
,
on
such
a
foundation
as
it
should
not
be
in
the
power
of
Hell
or
Hereticks
hereafter
to
disturb
it
:
And
for
the
bringing
about
of

Great
and
Glorious
Work
,
next
the
Assistance
of
Heaven
,
the
unresistable
Puisance
of
the
King
my
Master
,
and
my
own
Conduct
;
the
great
dependance
of
all
good
Catholicks
is
on
your
Courage
.
I
must
confess
since
my
coming
amongst
you
,
things
have
not
answered
my
wishes
,
but
they
are
still
in
a
posture
to
be
retrieved
,
if
you
will
not
betray
your
Religion
and
Countrey
,
by
an
unseasonable
Pusilanimity

THE
LINE
OF
BATTLE
.
July
12.
1691
Titus
Livius
before
a
Battle
,
frequently
brings
in
the
Roman
Generals
saying
a
great
many
fine
things
,
and
making
long
Speeches
,
which
possibly
they
never
dreamt
of
,
tho
most
of
them
were
well
bredmen
;
and
if
they
did
make
use
of
those
Speeches
,
that
way
of
treating
Armies
is
now
quite
out
of
Fashion
,
especially
it
's
improbable
it
should
be
done
by
a
General
,
who
understood
as
little
Irish
as
most
of
his
Army
did
French
:
Nor
is
it
to
be
believed
that
Monsieur
St.
Ruth
was
a
man
of
that
Boasting
vain-glorious
humour
that
this
Speech
makes
him
,
tho
I
have
heard
from
some
of
the
Irish
Officers
since
,
that
he
told
them
they
had
gained
the
Character
of
Cowards
both
at
home
and
abroad
,
and
now
was
their
time
to
retrieve
it
,
and
that
they
Fought
for
their
Religion
,
King
and
Country
,
&c.
However
it
was
,
all
who
saw
the
spot
of
Ground
he
had
made
Choice
of
,
can
but
admire
his
Conduct
in
this
particular
:
And
no
doubt
his
Army
had
all
the
Masses
,
Persuasions
,
and
other
incouragements
that
could
be
thought
of
;
amongst
the
rest
that
powerful
one
of
Brandy
,
which
made
a
Dragoon
of
ours
tell
some
of
their
Prisoners
after
the
Battle
,
that
they
had
the
advantage
of
us
,
both
in
Prayers
and
Brandy
:
The
English
being
indeed
too
remiss
in
point
of
Devotion
,
not
looking
up
to
that
Power
,
to
which
we
are
most
indebted
,
for
all
that
we
can
pretend
to
that's
Good
.
But
to
return
to
our
own
Army
,
Sunday
July
the
Our
Army
march
in
sight
of
the
Enemy
.
12.
about
Six
in
the
Morning
we
marcht
,
the
Foot
over
the
Bridge
;
the
English
and
French
Horse
at
the
Foord
above
,
and
the
Dutch
and
Danes
over
two
Foords
below
,
with
directions
to
put
themselves
in
order
of
Battle
when
all
past
the
River
,
which
was
done
on
a
kind
of
uneven
hilly
Ground
,
and
the
method
being
agreed
before
,
the
two
lines
of
Battle
were
thus
,
as
in
the
Copper
Plate
are
described
.
It
's
to
be
observed
that
My
Lord
Portland's
Horse
is
not
in
this
Line
of
Battle
,
because
they
came
not
up
till
after
it
was
ordered
;
hower
they
had
their
full
share
in
the
Acton
,
and
Col.
Foulks's
Regiment
was
always
to
guard
the
Train
,
but
being
then
convenient
for
it
,
and
the
General
resolving
to
make
all
the
Force
he
could
,
they
had
also
their
part
,
both
of
the
Honour
and
Service
of
the
Action
.
And
tho
Brigadeer
Stuart
is
there
set
down
,
it
's
only
as
to
his
Post
,
for
he
was
then
at
Dublin
ill
of
his
Wounds
received
at
Athlone
.
Col.
Lloyds
Regiment
was
also
in
Garison
at
Athlone
,
and
two
more
left
at
Balynasloe
,
so
that
we
were
not
altogether
so
strong
as
this
Line
of
Battle
makes
us
.
In
this
order
(
the
Morning
proving
Foggy
)
our
Army
stood
till
nigh
12
a
Clock
,
and
then
were
Commanded
to
Advance
,
the
General
going
with
a
party
before
to
view
the
Enemy
,
and
perceiving
some
of
their
out
Scouts
upon
the
Hills
,
ordered
a
party
to
beat
them
thence
,
upon
whose
advance
the
Enemy
retired
from
place
to
place
,
till
they
were
within
half
a
Mile
of
their
Camp
,
by
which
means
the
General
had
an
opportunity
from
an
high
Hill
to
the
Right
of
the
Enemy
,
to
view
their
whole
Army
,
posted
as
before
described
:
by
which
posture
,
they
had
the
advantage
by
at
least
1000
men
,
but
being
assured
of
the
valour
of
his
Army
,
the
General
resolved
to
draw
nearer
,
and
expect
what
further
opportunities
of
advantage
might
offer
,
in
order
to
which
,
and
for
the
security
of
our
own
Army
,
he
saw
the
necesity
of
gaining
that
Pass
to
the
Right
of
the
Enemy
,
called
Vrachree
,
where
the
Irish
had
some
men
posted
,
he
sent
therefore
a
Danish
Captain
with
16
Troopers
to
force
it
,
but
the
men
run
away
from
a
less
number
than
themselves
,
tho
the
Officer
behaved
himself
very
well
,
and
the
rest
retrieved
their
Honour
afterwards
;
upon
this
the
General
ordered
two
Hundred
of
Sir
Albert
Cunninghams
Dragoons
to
march
to
certain
Ditches
,
nigh
the
said
Foord
,
to
keep
the
Enemy
from
coming
over
,
and
in
the
mean
time
our
Army
was
marching
forwards
;
by
this
time
it
was
Two
a
Clock
,
and
the
General
finding
the
necessity
of
having
that
Foord
,
and
other
ways
that
led
to
the
Right
of
the
Enemy
,
as
the
most
proper
ways
to
assault
them
,
he
ordered
Cunninghams
Dragoons
,
at
the
Ditch
,
to
advance
towards
a
Party
of
the
Enemy
that
stood
on
the
other
side
,
&
were
sustained
by
a
considerable
Body
,
behind
the
House
of
Vrachree
,
all
which
,
at
the
advancing
of
our
Dragoons
,
retired
behind
an
Hill
nigher
their
Camp
,
and
where
a
greater
Body
was
posted
;
then
some
of
our
Dragoons
pressing
on
too
far
were
obliged
to
retreat
a
little
disorderly
,
the
Enemy
sustaining
their
Men
by
several
fresh
Parties
,
which
the
General
perceiving
,
he
ordered
Briggadeer
Eppinger's
Dragoons
to
get
between
them
and
their
Camp
;
but
this
was
discovered
by
the
Enemy
,
who
had
the
advantage
of
pouring
in
so
many
Men
upon
us
that
they
would
have
been
too
hard
for
our
Dragoons
still
,
if
they
had
not
been
quickly
seconded
by
greatest
part
of
the
Earl
of
Portlands
Horse
,
who
behaved
themselves
with
great
Bravery
,
and
lost
several
Men
and
Horses
in
this
part
of
the
Action
:
And
what
was
at
first
only
a
Skirmish
,
had
by
this
time
engaged
a
considerable
Body
on
both
sides
,
fresh
Parties
being
still
sent
out
,
tho
after
about
an
hours
dispute
,
the
Enemy
were
obliged
to
retire
in
some
Disorder
,
over
the
Brook
,
that
flanked
the
Right
of
their
Army
,
no
considerable
dammage
being
done
as
yet
to
either
side
.
Then
all
things
seemed
pretty
quiet
for
a
while
,
and
our
General
Officers
coming
together
,
began
to
consult
whither
it
was
fit
to
give
the
Enemy
Battel
that
Night
,
considering
the
disadvantages
we
were
to
expect
in
Attacking
them
,
some
therefore
were
for
deferring
the
Battle
that
Night
,
and
so
to
fall
on
by
break
of
day
next
Morning
,
which
was
so
far
agreed
to
as
that
our
Tents
were
ordered
to
be
sent
for
,
and
pitched
along
the
other
side
the
Bogg
;
but
then
perceiving
the
Enemy
to
be
in
some
Disorder
▪
by
what
had
already
happened
,
they
concluded
not
to
delay
their
Attack
,
lest
the
Enemy
should
March
off
in
the
Night
,
and
so
afford
us
no
more
opportunities
;
it
was
therefore
agreed
to
prosecute
the
Battel
on
the
Enemies
Right
,
by
that
means
proposing
to
draw
part
of
their
strength
from
Aghrim
Castle
,
nigh
which
their
main
Body
was
posted
,
that
so
our
Right
might
have
the
easier
Passage
over
to
Attack
their
Left
,
and
then
our
whole
Army
might
have
opportunity
to
engage
.
This
(
I
am
told
)
was
the
Advice
of
Major
General
Mackay
;
a
Man
of
great
Judgement
,
and
long
Experience
,
and
it
had
its
desired
Success
.
Our
Army
was
disposed
of
as
you
see
in
the
Line
of
Battel
,
only
the
General
moved
up
and
down
as
he
saw
occasion
,
as
did
also
the
rest
of
the
General
Officers
;
and
before
the
Battel
began
,
there
was
no
distance
left
between
the
first
and
second
Line
,
since
a
great
part
of
the
second
Line
were
the
first
that
engaged
.
The
Irish
Army
was
commanded
by
Monsieur
St.
Ruth
,
Lieutennant
General
D'usson
,
Monsieur
De'
Tessec
,
Lieutenant
General
Sarsefield
,
Major
General
John
Hambleton
,
Major
General
Dorington
,
and
several
other
.
About
half
an
hour
past
Four
in
the
Afternoon
,
a
part
of
our
Left
Wing
moved
towards
the
Enemy
,
and
by
Five
the
Battel
began
a
fresh
.
A
Party
of
our
Foot
marched
up
to
their
Ditches
,
all
strongly
guarded
with
Musketiers
,
and
their
Horse
posted
advantageously
to
sustain
them
:
here
we
fired
one
upon
another
for
a
considerable
time
,
and
the
Irish
behaved
themselves
like
Men
of
another
Nation
,
defending
their
Ditches
stoutly
;
for
they
would
maintain
one
side
,
till
our
Men
put
their
Pieces
over
at
the
other
,
and
then
having
Lines
of
Communication
,
from
one
Ditch
to
another
,
they
would
presently
post
themselves
again
,
and
flank
us
;
this
occasioned
great
firing
on
both
sides
,
which
continued
on
the
Left
nigh
an
hour
and
an
half
,
e're
the
Right
of
our
Army
,
or
the
Centre
engaged
,
except
with
their
Cannon
,
which
played
on
both
sides
.
All
this
while
our
Men
were
coming
up
in
as
good
Order
as
the
Inconveniency
of
the
Ground
would
allow
,
and
now
Major
General
Mackay
,
and
the
rest
,
seeing
the
Enemy
draw
off
several
Bodies
of
Horse
and
Foot
from
the
Left
,
and
move
towards
their
Right
,
where
our
Men
pressed
them
very
hard
;
they
laid
hold
on
that
advantage
,
and
ordered
the
Foot
to
march
over
the
Bogg
,
which
fronted
the
Enemies
main
Battel
.
Colonel
Earl
,
Colonel
Herbert
,
Colonel
Creighton
,
and
Colonel
Brewers
Regiments
went
over
at
the
narrowest
place
where
the
Hedges
on
the
Enemies
side
run
furthest
into
the
Bogg
.
These
four
Regiments
were
ordered
to
march
to
the
lowest
of
the
Ditches
,
adjoining
to
the
side
of
the
Bogg
,
and
there
to
post
themselves
till
our
Horse
could
come
about
by
Aghrim
Castle
,
and
sustain
them
,
and
till
the
other
Foot
had
marched
over
the
Bogg
below
,
where
it
was
broader
,
and
were
sustained
by
Col.
Foulk's
,
and
Brigadeer
Steuarts
.
Col.
Earl
advanced
with
his
Regiment
,
and
the
rest
after
him
,
over
the
Bogg
,
and
a
Rivulet
that
ran
through
it
,
being
most
of
them
up
to
their
Middles
in
Mudd
and
Water
.
The
Irish
at
their
near
approach
to
the
Ditches
,
fired
upon
them
,
but
our
Men
contemning
all
Disadvantages
,
advanced
immediately
to
the
lowest
Hedges
,
and
beat
the
Irish
from
thence
.
The
Enemy
however
did
not
retreat
far
,
but
posted
themselves
in
the
next
Ditches
before
us
:
which
our
Men
seeing
,
and
disdaining
to
suffer
their
Lodging
so
near
us
,
they
would
needs
beat
them
from
thence
also
,
and
so
from
one
Hedge
to
another
,
till
they
were
got
very
nigh
the
Enemies
main
Battel
.
But
the
Irish
had
so
ordered
the
matter
,
as
to
make
an
easie
Passage
for
their
Horse
,
amongst
all
those
Hedges
and
Ditches
,
by
which
means
they
poured
in
great
numbers
both
of
Horse
and
Foot
upon
us
:
which
Colonel
Earl
seeing
,
encouraged
his
Men
,
by
advancing
before
them
,
and
saying
,
There
was
no
way
to
come
off
but
to
be
Brave
.
As
great
an
Example
of
true
Courage
and
Generosity
as
any
Man
this
Day
living
.
But
being
both
flanked
and
fronted
,
as
also
exposed
to
all
the
Enemies
Shot
from
the
adjacent
Ditches
;
our
Men
were
forced
to
quit
their
Ground
,
and
betake
themselves
to
the
Bogg
again
,
A
Party
of
our
Foot
beat
back
.
whither
they
were
followed
,
or
rather
drove
down
by
main
strength
of
Horse
and
Foot
,
and
a
great
many
killed
.
Colonel
Earl
,
and
Colonel
Herbert
,
were
here
taken
Prisoners
;
the
former
,
after
twice
taking
and
retaking
,
got
free
at
last
,
tho
not
without
being
wounded
.
Whilst
this
was
a
doing
here
,
Col.
St.
Johns
,
Col.
Tiffin
,
Lord
George
Hambleton
,
the
French
,
and
several
other
Regiments
,
were
marching
over
below
upon
the
same
Bogg
.
The
Irish
,
in
the
mean
time
,
laid
so
close
in
their
Ditches
,
that
several
were
doubtful
whether
they
had
any
Men
at
that
place
or
not
:
but
they
were
convinced
of
it
at
last
;
for
no
sooner
were
the
French
,
and
the
rest
,
got
within
twenty
yards
,
or
less
,
of
the
Ditches
,
but
the
Irish
fired
most
furiously
upon
them
;
which
our
Men
as
bravely
sustained
,
and
pressed
forwards
,
tho
they
could
scarce
see
one
another
for
Smoak
.
And
now
the
thing
seemed
so
doubtful
for
some
time
,
that
the
By-standers
would
rather
have
given
it
on
the
Irish
side
;
for
they
had
driven
our
Foot
in
the
Centre
so
far
back
,
that
they
were
got
almost
in
a
Line
,
with
some
of
our
Great
Guns
,
planted
near
the
Bogg
,
which
we
had
not
the
Benefit
of
at
that
Juncture
,
because
of
the
mixture
of
our
Men
and
theirs
.
M.
G.
Ruvigny's
French
Horse
,
and
Sir
John
Laniers
,
being
both
posted
on
the
Right
,
were
afterwards
part
of
Our
Horse
pass
the
Bogg
,
near
the
Castle
of
Aghrim
.
them
drawn
to
the
Left
,
where
they
did
very
good
Service
.
And
the
Right
Wing
of
our
Horse
,
in
the
mean
time
were
making
what
haste
they
could
to
succour
our
Foot
;
for
seeing
their
Danger
,
and
indeed
that
all
was
in
hazard
by
reason
of
the
Difficulty
of
the
Pass
,
they
did
more
than
Men
,
in
pressing
and
tumbling
over
a
very
dangerous
place
,
and
that
amongst
Showrs
of
Bullets
,
from
a
Regiment
of
Dragoons
,
and
two
Regiments
of
Foot
,
posted
conveniently
under
Cover
,
by
the
Enemy
,
to
obstruct
our
Passage
.
Our
Horse
,
at
this
place
,
were
sustained
by
Major
General
Kirks
,
and
Colonel
Gustavus
Hambleton's
Foot
,
who
,
after
we
had
received
the
Enemies
Fire
,
for
a
considerable
time
,
marched
under
the
Walls
of
the
Castle
,
and
Lodged
themselves
in
a
dry
Ditch
,
in
the
throng
of
the
Enemies
Shot
from
the
Castle
,
and
some
other
old
Walls
,
and
Hedges
,
adjoining
.
Those
that
have
seen
the
place
,
and
considered
the
Disadvantages
that
our
Men
had
at
such
a
Juncture
to
encounter
withal
,
must
needs
Acknowledge
the
Action
very
Brave
.
For
it
s
reported
,
that
Monsieur
St.
Ruth
,
seeing
our
Horse
draw
that
way
,
and
then
begin
to
scramble
over
at
a
place
where
only
two
a
Breast
could
pass
,
and
that
too
with
great
difficulty
;
after
all
which
,
they
had
no
other
way
to
march
,
but
to
go
within
thirty
yards
of
the
Castle
.
The
French
General
seeing
our
Men
attempt
to
do
this
,
askt
What
they
meant
by
it
?
And
being
answered
,
That
they
would
certainly
endeavour
to
pass
there
,
and
Attack
him
on
the
Left
;
he
is
said
to
reply
with
an
Oath
,
They
are
brave
Fellows
,
it
s
a
pity
they
should
be
so
exposed
,
or
Words
to
that
purpose
.
Our
Horse
,
with
much
difficulty
,
made
good
that
Pass
;
Sir
Francis
Compton
,
with
my
Lord
of
Oxford's
Regiment
,
being
one
of
the
first
that
could
be
in
a
posture
to
Engage
,
he
fell
at
Random
in
amongst
the
Enemy
,
and
charged
them
briskly
,
with
Sword
in
Hand
:
and
tho
his
Men
were
once
or
twice
Repulsed
,
yet
being
seconded
with
part
of
Major
General
Ruvigny's
Horse
,
Colonel
Langston's
,
and
some
of
Colonel
Byerley's
Horse
;
as
also
Brigadeer
Leveson's
Dragoons
,
they
soon
made
Good
their
Party
on
that
side
,
tho'
not
without
the
loss
of
several
both
Men
and
Horses
.
The
Major
General
Talmash
,
seeing
the
Disadvantage
Major
General
Talmash
Succours
our
Foot
.
our
Foot
laboured
under
in
the
Centre
,
he
shewed
at
once
an
extream
concern
for
his
Countrymens
being
repulsed
,
and
as
much
Generosity
and
Courage
,
by
hastning
to
Succour
those
that
at
that
time
stood
most
in
need
of
it
;
coming
up
therefore
in
all
haste
,
with
some
fresh
Men
,
he
gave
Orders
for
our
broken
Regiments
to
halt
,
and
face
about
,
which
they
did
immediately
,
and
returned
the
same
Measure
to
the
Irish
,
that
some
of
themselves
had
met
withal
,
the
very
Minute
before
,
that
is
,
they
knockt
them
on
the
Head
;
for
the
Irish
followed
us
toward
the
Centre
of
the
Bogg
,
which
tho
not
two
hundred
yards
from
the
lowest
Ditches
,
yet
before
the
Enemy
could
recover
those
again
,
our
Men
had
killed
above
three
hundred
of
them
,
and
then
marched
boldly
up
to
their
old
Ground
again
,
from
whence
they
had
been
lately
beat
:
which
is
only
natural
to
English
Men
;
for
it
's
observable
,
that
they
are
commonly
fiercer
,
and
bolder
,
after
being
repulsed
than
before
;
and
what
blunts
the
Courage
of
all
other
Nations
,
commonly
whets
theirs
,
I
mean
the
killing
of
their
Fellow
Soldiers
before
their
Faces
.
At
the
same
time
,
Major
General
Mackay
had
fallen
upon
the
Enemy
with
a
good
Body
of
Horse
on
their
Left
,
and
then
Major
General
Ruvigny
went
along
the
side
of
the
Bogg
,
with
another
Party
of
Horse
,
who
did
extraordinary
Service
,
bearing
down
all
before
them
:
then
the
Horse
and
Foot
of
our
Right
,
and
their
Left
mixing
,
there
was
nothing
but
a
continued
fire
,
and
a
very
hot
dispute
all
along
the
Line
.
The
Irish
indeavouring
to
defend
their
Ditches
,
and
our
men
as
forward
to
beat
them
from
thence
.
But
the
thing
was
doubtful
not
much
longer
,
for
Mons.
St.
Ruth
,
when
he
first
saw
our
Foot
in
the
Centre
repulsed
,
in
a
great
Ecstasy
,
told
those
next
him
,
that
he
wou'd
now
beat
our
Army
back
to
the
Gates
of
Dublin
.
But
seeing
our
Horse
press
over
towards
the
Castle
,
he
ordered
a
Brigade
of
his
own
Horse
to
march
up
;
then
Riding
to
one
of
his
Batteries
,
and
giving
orders
to
the
Gunner
where
to
fire
,
he
was
marching
towards
the
place
where
he
saw
us
indeavour
to
come
over
,
but
was
killed
with
a
great
Shot
from
one
of
our
Batteries
,
as
he
rid
down
the
Hill
of
Monsiuer
St.
Ruth
killed
.
Killkomodon
,
the
place
where
the
main
stress
of
the
Battle
was
fought
,
being
just
under
the
Enemies
Camp
.
When
Monsieur
St.
Ruth
fell
,
one
of
his
Retinue
threw
a
Cloak
upon
his
Corps
,
and
soon
after
removed
him
beyond
the
Hill
,
his
Guard
going
off
at
the
same
time
,
which
the
Irish
Horse
perceiving
,
a
great
many
of
them
drew
off
also
.
I
never
could
learn
what
became
of
his
Corps
,
some
say
that
he
was
left
stript
amongst
the
other
dead
,
when
our
men
pursued
beyond
the
Hill
;
and
others
that
he
was
thrown
into
a
Bogg
:
However
tho
the
man
had
an
ill
Character
in
being
one
of
the
greatest
Persecutors
of
the
Protestants
in
France
,
yet
,
we
must
allow
him
to
be
very
brave
in
his
Person
,
and
indeed
considerable
in
his
Conduct
,
since
he
brought
the
Irish
to
fight
a
better
Battle
,
than
ever
their
Nation
could
boast
of
before
.
And
this
was
the
reason
,
as
the
Irish
report
,
that
the
General
being
killed
,
tho
it
was
not
presently
known
,
yet
their
Army
was
soon
in
Confusion
for
want
of
Orders
,
and
so
the
Horse
forced
to
draw
off
.
But
the
truth
of
it
was
,
the
Irish
before
they
began
to
shrink
,
had
behaved
themselves
beyond
all
expectation
,
and
had
fought
longer
than
ordinary
;
yet
when
they
saw
our
Horse
come
over
so
dangerous
a
Pass
,
and
our
Foot
in
the
Centre
Rally
,
and
resolve
to
dye
every
man
rather
than
be
beat
back
again
;
the
Irish
then
thought
they
must
be
beat
if
the
other
would
not
:
so
that
notwithstanding
all
their
advantages
of
Hedges
and
Ground
,
Sun
and
Wind
,
they
were
forced
to
quit
one
advantagious
Post
,
and
after
that
another
,
till
being
beat
from
Ditch
to
Ditch
,
they
were
driven
up
to
the
Top
of
the
Hill
of
Killkomodon
,
where
The
Irish
Army
Routed
.
their
Camp
had
laid
,
which
being
levelled
,
and
they
exposed
to
our
Shot
more
openly
,
they
began
now
to
run
down
right
;
the
Foot
towards
a
great
Bogg
behind
them
on
their
Left
,
and
the
Horse
on
the
High-way
towards
Loughreagh
.
military map
The
Irish
upon
their
advantage
in
the
Centre
of
the
Battle
,
had
taken
some
Prisoners
(
as
has
been
said
)
but
not
being
able
to
carry
them
off
,
they
killed
Col.
Herbert
and
one
or
two
more
;
which
several
have
lookt
upon
as
a
piece
of
cruelty
:
and
yet
it
's
no
more
than
what
has
been
often
practised
in
such
Cases
,
and
that
to
a
greater
degree
;
for
at
the
Battle
of
Agincourt
,
Fought
between
Hen.
5th
.
of
England
,
and
Charles
the
6th
.
of
France
upon
the
24th
.
of
Octob.
1414.
the
number
of
the
Prisoners
taken
by
the
English
,
being
very
great
,
and
King
Henry
after
the
Battle
,
perceiving
fresh
Troops
of
the
King
of
Sicill's
to
appear
in
the
Field
,
and
these
strong
enough
without
any
new
rallyed
Forces
to
Encounter
his
wearied
Soldiers
;
that
he
might
not
therefore
have
both
Prisoners
to
Guard
,
and
an
Enemy
to
fight
at
once
,
he
commanded
every
man
to
kill
his
Prisoner
,
contrary
to
his
Generous
Nature
;
which
was
immediately
done
,
some
principal
men
excepted
:
and
then
upon
his
Message
to
the
Enemy
either
to
Fight
or
immedately
to
quit
the
Field
,
they
chose
the
latter
:
And
some
say
that
My
Lord
Galway
had
hard
measure
from
some
of
our
Foreign
Toopers
,
who
kill'd
him
after
he
had
surrendered
himself
a
Prisoner
;
not
to
themselves
,
but
to
some
others
.
The
place
where
this
Battle
was
fought
,
will
make
a
noise
in
History
for
the
future
,
tho
there
's
nothing
worth
taking
notice
of
near
it
:
For
that
which
they
call
the
Castle
of
Aghrim
is
only
an
old
ruinous
Building
,
with
some
Walls
and
Ditches
about
it
,
and
never
has
been
a
place
of
any
Strength
,
only
as
it
's
seated
upon
a
Pass
.
There
are
about
half
a
score
little
Cabbins
on
the
other
side
a
small
Brook
,
with
the
Ruins
of
a
little
Church
,
and
a
Priory
Dedicated
to
St.
Catherine
,
and
founded
by
the
Butlers
;
the
whole
being
at
this
day
the
Estate
of
the
D.
of
Ormond
.
After
things
went
clear
on
our
side
,
this
old
Castle
Aghrim
Castle
taken
.
was
taken
,
and
a
great
many
put
the
Sword
in
it
.
Col.
Burk
the
Commander
,
his
Major
,
Eleven
Officers
more
,
and
Forty
Soldiers
were
made
Prisoners
.
In
this
Battle
,
we
took
from
the
Enemy
nine
pieces
of
Brass
Cannon
,
which
they
had
planted
at
several
places
to
their
greatest
advantage
;
all
their
Ammunition
,
Tents
and
Baggage
,
with
most
of
their
small
Arms
,
which
they
threw
away
,
to
run
the
faster
;
we
took
also
Eleven
Standards
,
and
thirty
two
pair
of
Colours
:
The
General
rewarding
every
one
that
brought
any
in
the
next
day
,
and
sent
them
afterwards
by
my
Lord
O
Bryan
,
as
a
present
to
Her
Majesty
.
We
killed
seven
Thousand
of
the
Irish
upon
The
number
of
the
Dead
.
the
Spot
,
as
was
generally
believed
,
and
there
could
not
be
many
fewer
,
for
looking
amongst
the
Dead
three
days
after
,
when
all
our
own
and
some
of
theirs
were
buried
,
I
reckoned
in
some
small
Inclosures
150
in
others
120
,
&c.
lying
most
of
them
by
the
Ditches
where
they
were
Shot
;
and
the
rest
from
the
top
of
the
Hill
where
their
Camp
had
been
,
looked
like
a
great
Flock
of
Sheep
,
shattered
up
and
down
the
Countrey
,
for
almost
four
Miles
round
:
And
the
Irish
themselves
,
tho
they
will
not
allow
so
many
to
be
killed
,
yet
they
own
,
that
they
lost
more
,
which
they
could
never
have
any
account
of
,
except
they
stole
home
privately
,
or
else
turned
Rapparees
.
We
took
also
above
four
hundred
and
fifty
Prisoners
,
of
the
chief
of
whom
,
and
those
killed
,
there
was
shortly
after
a
List
,
in
Print
,
which
time
has
informed
me
of
some
mistakes
in
,
tho
possibly
there
may
be
some
as
yet
remaining
.

rather

The
Line
of
Battel
will
direct
you
how
many
Regiments
we
had
in
the
Fight
,
and
considering
all
Circumstances
,
they
could
not
make
up
seventeen
thousand
Horse
and
Foot
.
The
Irish
were
nigh
Twenty
Thousand
Foot
,
and
Five
Thousand
Horse
and
Dragoons
,
as
appears
from
the
most
Rational
Accounts
that
can
be
gathered
from
the
number
of
their
Regiments
,
and
the
Confession
of
their
own
Officers
;
so
that
it
may
seem
incredible
to
a
great
many
,
that
in
so
long
and
sharp
an
Engagement
,
with
so
great
odds
and
disadvantages
,
that
we
had
not
a
great
many
more
Men
killed
and
wounded
on
our
side
.
But
this
is
not
so
great
a
wonder
in
this
Kingdom
,
if
we
'll
look
back
upon
the
several
Conflicts
that
our
Ancestors
have
had
with
that
unhappy
People
:
tho
in
this
last
War
,
four
parts
in
five
of
these
against
us
were
degenerate
English
.
Nor
ever
were
they
under
so
good
Discipline
,
or
yet
so
unanimous
formerly
as
now
,
which
no
doubt
made
the
Battle
much
sharper
;
tho'
it
may
seem
strange
that
those
of
the
English
in
Ireland
,
that
are
Roman
Catholicks
,
should
out
of
their
blind
Zeal
to
Popery
,
so
quite
forget
from
whence
they
came
,
that
they
joyn
with
the
meer
Irish
,
against
all
the
Ties
of
Nation
,
Blood
,
and
indeed
of
Interest
.
But
as
the
Nature
of
Man
is
apter
to
degenerate
than
improve
;
so
do
the
English
oftner
fall
in
love
with
the
Barbarous
Customs
of
the
Irish
,
than
on
the
contrary
.
Hence
we
read
of
the
Earl
of
Desmond's
complaining
that
the
English
were
taking
away
their
Estates
and
Countrey
;
and
advises
the
Irish
to
join
with
him
in
their
Defence
:
and
yet
his
own
Family
had
not
been
then
in
Ireland
,
above
three
Generations
,
and
not
that
difference
of
Religion
between
them
and
the
Natives
as
now
;
and
it
's
observable
that
several
Families
removing
out
of
England
into
Ireland
,
call
themselves
by
the
Counties
in
England
,
from
whence
they
came
,
for
two
or
three
Generations
,
and
then
forgetting
those
,
they
often
turn
meer
Irish
;
for
put
a
drop
of
Wine
into
a
pint
of
Water
,
and
it
presently
so
far
incorporates
,
as
you
can
by
no
means
discern
it
:
so
is
it
often
with
an
English
Family
that
has
the
Misfortune
to
be
planted
amongst
the
meer
Irish
;
for
it
soon
becomes
of
the
same
stamp
with
themselves
.
The
consequence
of
which
has
been
lookt
upon
to
be
so
pernicious
to
the
English
Interest
in
that
Country
,
that
not
only
the
English
have
been
forbid
Cohabitation
with
the
Irish
;
but
there
was
a
time
when
Thomas
Lord
Burrough
,
then
Lord
Deputy
of
Ireland
,
amongst
other
Instructions
,
had
Charge
to
enquire
what
English
Vndertakers
had
,
contrary
to
their
Covenants
,
suffered
Irish
Men
to
Inhabit
their
Lands
.

But
I
shall
forbear
this
Subject
for
some
time
;
and
since
I
am
run
abroad
,
I
shall
give
you
some
of
many
Instances
in
former
times
wherein
the
Irish
lost
considerable
numbers
,
with
small
loss
to
the
English
.
Instances
,
wherein
the
Irish
have
been
formerly
overthrown
by
the
English
,
and
that
with
very
little
Loss
to
the
Britains
.
To
omit
therefore
the
inequality
of
Numbers
,
at
the
first
Conquest
;
and
the
little
loss
commonly
on
our
side
,
in
those
great
Victories
then
obtained
:
In
the
Year
1316.
William
de
Burgo
,
and
Richard
de
Brimingham
,
encountred
Falany
O
Connor
,
King
of
Conaught
,
and
killed
the
King
,
with
8000
of
his
Men
,
near
Athenree
,
with
very
little
loss
to
themselves
;
and
yet
the
numerous
Off-spring
of
those
brave
English
Commanders
,
are
all
,
or
most
of
them
,
at
this
day
reputed
Irish
,
and
have
declared
themselves
for
that
Interest
.
August
the
9th
.
1336.
The
English
gave
the
Irish
another
defeat
in
Conaught
,
with
the
loss
of
one
Man
,
killing
Ten
Thousand
of
their
Enemies
.
And
Anno
1504.
the
Lord
Deputy
Kildare
fought
with
Bourk
(
then
turned
Irish
,
)
and
a
great
many
other
Irish
Lords
in
a
strong
Confederacy
at
Knocklow
,
on
the
19th
.
of
August
,
and
killed
four
thousand
(
some
say
9000.
)
and
not
one
man
killed
or
hurt
on
his
side
.
In
the
Year
1566.
Col.
Randolph
Governour
of
Derry
,
sallyed
thence
with
300
Foot
and
50
Horse
upon
O
Neal
,
who
then
designed
to
Besiege
the
Town
;
In
which
Sally
,
Four
Hundred
of
the
Irish
were
killed
,
without
the
loss
of
one
English
man
,
except
Col.
Randolph
himself
.
James
Fitz-Maurice
,
and
others
were
also
Defeated
in
Queen
Elizabeth's
time
,
and
Four
Hundred
of
them
killed
,
without
the
loss
of
one
English
man
,
except
a
Servant
of
one
Captain
Malby's
And
Sir
George
Bingham
Routed
a
Party
of
the
Irish
,
The
Irish
always
come
off
the
losers
.
Commanded
by
the
Bourks
,
at
a
place
called
Ardaner
,
being
three
thousand
in
number
,
of
whom
only
Seven
escaped
,
and
yet
very
little
loss
to
Sir
George's
side
.
August
the
8th
.
1647.
Six
thousand
of
the
Irish
are
said
to
be
killed
at
the
Battle
of
Dungan-Hills
,
fought
by
Maj.
Gen.
Jones
,
and
not
above
Twenty
English
slain
.
And
what
wonder
is
it
then
,
if
the
Battle
of
Aghrim
,
the
Greatest
and
Best
that
ever
the
Irish
fought
,
should
be
won
with
the
loss
of
so
few
on
our
side
.
But
such
is
the
unhappiness
of
that
People
,
that
tho
they
always
have
the
worst
of
it
:
yet
Campion
makes
this
severe
Remark
upon
them
,
and
affirms
,
That
notwithstanding
their
Oaths
and
their
Pledges
,
they
are
no
longer
true
than
they
find
themselves
the
Weaker
.
And
indeed
all
things
considered
,
it
can
be
reckoned
no
other
than
a
misfortune
to
England
,
in
having
that
Island
so
near
adjoyning
,
whose
Inhabitants
have
all
along
differed
from
us
in
Language
and
in
Interest
;
and
of
late
also
in
Religion
too
.
Hence
sad
experience
tells
us
,
that
the
Blood
and
Treasure
of
England
have
been
Exhausted
upon
Ireland
,
when
ever
any
Foreign
Prince
could
think
his
Affairs
secure
,
or
advanced
by
a
dispute
in
having
the
Irish
Natives
on
his
side
,
who
have
been
ready
always
to
joyn
with
any
against
England
,
whose
Subjects
they
have
over
&
over
again
acknowledged
themselves
,
tho
Heaven
seems
still
to
blast
their
attempts
and
perfidy
to
that
degree
,
that
what
side
soever
they
have
taken
as
yet
against
the
English
,
has
never
prospered
.
Which
And
those
also
that
set
them
a
work
.
puts
me
in
mind
of
a
Story
that
I
have
heard
relating
to
the
former
Wars
,
when
several
of
the
Irish
Nobility
and
Gentry
assembled
at
Kilkenny
,
were
consulting
what
means
to
use
for
the
driving
out
of
Oliver
Cromwell
,
then
lately
Landed
with
an
Army
from
England
;
&
after
several
proposals
,
all
which
were
found
difficult
,
My
Lord
Clanmalera
a
well
meaning
Gentleman
amongst
them
,
but
who
seldome
used
to
make
Speeches
,
he
now
stood
up
,
and
after
a
profound
silence
,
and
great
expectation
,
he
gravely
advised
them
by
all
means
to
joyn
with
Cromwell
,
and
to
espouse
his
Interest
heartily
,
as
the
only
Expedient
to
Ruine
him
:
and
then
to
confirm
his
Opinion
he
gave
them
several
instances
of
their
being
unfortunate
to
their
Friends
and
Confederates
formerly
.
As
to
this
last
Effort
of
theirs
(
which
yet
I
pray
God
may
be
so
)
it
was
no
less
unhappy
than
any
of
the
former
,
since
before
that
,
Ireland
was
in
the
fairest
way
imaginable
of
being
made
for
ever
an
English
Countrey
:
for
the
Natives
were
generally
poor
,
and
not
able
to
carry
on
a
War
even
against
the
English
of
their
own
Kingdom
;
whose
Servants
or
Tenants
commonly
they
were
,
till
by
an
unaccountable
Zeal
for
Popery
in
King
James
;
a
dexterous
management
in
My
Lord
Tyrconnel
to
make
himself
Great
,
and
so
to
advance
the
Interest
of
his
Nation
;
together
with
a
secret
design
of
the
French
King's
,
for
his
own
sake
,
the
Irish
were
encouraged
to
that
degree
,
that
the
Child
as
yet
unborn
may
curse
the
occasions
of
so
much
Blood
spilt
,
and
Treasure
lost
,
as
has
been
expended
in
their
suppression
;
and
yet
I
see
little
advantage
that
either
themselves
or
any
of
their
Patrons
have
got
by
the
Bargain
.
I
shall
conclude
this
Digression
,
and
the
Battle
of
An
account
of
some
I●ish
Prophecies
.
Aghrim
,
with
an
Account
of
a
Prophecy
,
which
the
Irish
had
of
a
Battle
to
be
fought
at
this
place
.
I
was
told
by
a
Gentleman
,
who
lives
now
in
that
Neighbourhood
,
that
at
least
a
year
before
the
Battle
was
fought
,
several
of
the
Vlster
Creights
,
driving
their
Cattle
that
way
,
some
of
them
askt
this
Gentlman
the
name
of
that
Castle
,
who
when
he
told
them
that
it
was
called
Aghrim
:
one
of
them
replied
,
that
was
the
place
where
a
great
Battle
was
to
be
fought
;
and
that
the
English
men
should
think
their
Coats
too
heavy
in
climbing
up
those
Hills
.
This
was
also
mentioned
by
Col.
Gordon
O
Neal
(
found
stript
amongst
the
Dead
next
day
,
and
made
a
Prisoner
)
and
several
other
of
the
Irish
Officers
after
the
Battle
,
which
kind
of
Predictions
are
never
rightly
understood
till
they
are
past
:
for
the
Irish
interpreted
this
to
signifie
the
English
mens
running
away
from
them
,
but
they
found
it
by
experience
,
that
the
English
thought
their
Coats
too
heavy
in
the
pursuit
of
the
Enemy
:
tho
some
say
this
Prophecy
is
meant
of
the
Hills
near
Ardee
,
the
day
before
the
Battle
at
the
Boyn
,
which
was
so
Hot
,
that
very
few
were
able
to
carry
their
Coats
.
Nor
is
there
any
other
people
more
Superstitious
in
this
point
than
the
Irish
;
and
yet
some
of
their
Predictions
are
very
remarkable
,
especially
at
Kingsale
,
when
the
Spaniards
landed
there
,
where
the
Lord
Montjoy
,
then
Lord
Lieutenant
,
was
shewed
the
Ground
several
days
before
,
whereon
the
Great
O
Neal
was
defeated
by
him
.
And
this
was
done
by
an
old
Prophecy
,
which
puntually
named
and
described
the
place
.
Towards
the
end
also
of
the
former
Wars
in
Ireland
,
whilst
Ireton
lay
before
Limerick
,
my
Lord
Broghill
was
sent
with
a
Detachment
out
of
the
Army
to
a
place
called
Knocknaclashy
,
to
observe
a
Body
of
the
Irish
:
My
Lord
found
several
people
got
there
before
him
,
on
purpose
to
expect
the
fate
of
the
last
Battle
of
Ireland
,
to
be
fought
on
that
Ground
,
as
their
Prediction
run
;
and
tho
the
Irish
Forces
were
as
then
not
upon
the
Spot
,
yet
it
so
fell
out
that
the
Battle
was
fought
there
;
the
Irish
Routed
,
and
this
the
last
Field-Conflict
that
happened
during
those
Wars
.
I
have
heard
also
some
of
the
Irish
tell
us
before
we
got
theither
that
we
should
not
succeed
at
the
first
Siege
of
Limerick
:
and
they
had
no
other
reason
for
it
but
because
one
of
their
Prophesies
said
so
.
But
I
have
spent
too
much
time
in
these
trifles
,
and
Our
Army
lay
upon
their
Armes
all
night
.
therefore
to
return
:
Whoever
have
been
concerned
in
like
Cases
,
may
easily
imagine
what
satisfaction
it
was
to
the
General
and
whole
Army
,
to
find
themselves
entirely
Masters
of
the
Field
,
and
their
Enemies
all
dipersed
;
but
the
day
being
gone
,
and
few
of
our
Tents
come
up
,
the
men
were
ordered
to
lye
upon
their
Armes
all
Night
:
their
dead
Adversaries
(
who
two
hours
before
had
made
a
considerable
Bustle
)
lay
now
very
quietly
by
without
disturbance
.
Next
day
the
General
ordered
a
publick
thanksgiving
to
be
kept
,
through
the
Army
,
for
this
happy
Victory
,
and
gave
command
that
all
our
own
dead
should
be
Buried
,
and
those
of
the
Enemy
also
that
lay
on
the
ground
where
our
Tents
were
to
be
pitched
.
But
the
rest
of
the
Irish
remained
still
unburied
,
no
Inhabitants
being
left
in
that
part
of
the
Countrey
to
perform
it
;
for
it
has
been
an
Ancient
Custom
amongst
them
,
still
to
remove
out
of
the
way
with
their
Cattle
and
all
their
Substance
,
at
the
approach
of
an
Enemy
:
And
Judge
Cox
observes
that
in
the
Year
1178
,
towards
the
beginning
of
the
English
Government
in
Ireland
,
Conaught
was
invaded
by
Miles
Coghan
,
and
Young
Fitz-Stephens
:
but
they
were
forced
to
return
for
want
of
Provisions
,
which
has
since
frustrated
more
well
contrived
designs
,
and
great
Expeditions
,
than
any
other
Accident
.
But
this
was
not
our
case
at
this
time
,
and
the
greatest
mischief
that
happened
by
the
Irish
removing
,
was
to
have
the
Carcasses
of
their
Countreymen
for
want
of
Burial
,
exposed
to
the
Birds
of
the
Air
,
and
the
Beasts
of
the
Field
;
many
Doggs
frequenting
the
place
,
afterwards
and
growing
so
fierce
by
feeding
upon
mans
Flesh
,
that
it
became
dangerous
for
any
single
man
to
pass
that
way
.
And
there
is
a
true
and
remarkable
Story
of
a
Greyhound
belonging
to
an
Irish
Officer
:
the
Gentleman
was
killed
and
stript
in
the
Battle
,
whose
Body
the
Dog
remained
by
night
and
day
;
and
tho
he
fed
upon
other
Corps
with
the
rest
of
the
Dogs
,
yet
he
would
not
allow
them
or
any
thing
else
to
touch
that
of
his
Master
.
When
all
the
Corps
were
consumed
,
the
other
Dogs
departed
,
but
this
used
to
go
in
the
Night
to
the
adjacent
Villages
for
Food
,
and
presently
to
return
again
to
the
place
where
his
Masters
Bones
were
only
then
left
:
and
thus
he
continued
till
January
following
,
when
one
of
Col.
Foulks's
Soldiers
being
quartered
nigh
hand
,
and
going
that
way
by
chance
,
the
Dog
fearing
he
came
to
disturb
his
Masters
Bones
,
flew
upon
the
Soldier
:
who
being
surprized
at
the
suddenness
of
the
thing
,
unslung
his
Piece
,
then
upon
his
back
,
and
killed
the
poor
Dog
.
Next
morning
after
the
Battle
,
one
Fitz-Gerald
and
six
Troopers
came
from
the
Enemy
,
and
told
us
that
what
of
the
Army
was
left
,
made
the
best
of
their
way
towards
Limerick
:
But
that
they
were
so
shattered
and
frighted
,
that
very
few
of
their
Foot
would
be
got
thither
.

same
day

and

was
ordered
towards
Portumna
and
Banoher
,
two
Passes
upon
the
Shanon
,
where
the
Irish
kept
Garisons
all
last
Winter
.
And
on
the
14th
.
those
places
were
Surrendred
upon
Condition
to
march
out
with
their
Arms
and
Baggage
:
First
towards
our
Camp
,
where
they
had
liberty
to
lay
down
their
Arms
,
if
they
pleased
;
or
else
to
go
on
towards
the
Irish
Army
.
Loughrea
,
Melick
,
and
other
places
thereabouts
were
also
Deserted
by
the
Irish
,
who
most
of
them
took
towards
Limerick
,
as
the
safest
place
of
Retreat
:
whither
they
went
in
no
kind
of
order
,
but
rather
like
people
going
to
a
Fair
,
the
Roads
as
they
passed
being
full
of
Hampers
and
other
stuff
,
which
they
had
been
in
too
great
hast
to
lug
along
;
yet
that
very
night
after
the
Battle
they
Robbed
and
Plundred
one
another
upon
the
Road.
That
Evening
it
was
ordered
that
all
the
Officers
that
were
not
upon
Duty
,
should
be
at
the
General
's
Quarters
next
Morning
at
9
of
the
Clock
,
to
attend
the
Funeral
of
Major
Gen.
Holstaple
:
and
what
Soldiers
would
bring
in
Muskets
to
the
Artillery
,
should
have
6
d.
a
piece
for
them
:
by
which
means
they
brought
in
a
great
many
Waggon
loads
full
of
the
Arms
lost
and
thrown
away
by
the
Irish
;
and
tho
the
price
was
reduced
to
two
pence
afterwards
,
yet
there
still
came
a
great
many
in
.
Our
Hospital
was
then
pitched
at
Garbally
,
about
three
Miles
nearer
Athlone
:
and
it
was
likewise
ordered
that
if
there
were
any
Sick
or
Wounded
men
that
were
not
sent
to
the
Hospital
,
they
should
be
brought
to
the
Artillery
at
Five
in
the
Morning
,
where
they
would
find
Waggons
to
carry
them
to
Athlone
,
Six
Hundred
Waggons
being
then
ordered
to
bring
up
Bread
and
other
Provisions
from
the
Stores
,
which
by
that
time
were
fixed
there
.
The
15th
.
Major
O
Connor
,
and
60
men
that
had
been
Garrisoned
at
Banoher
Bridge
came
to
our
Camp
,
where
40
of
the
men
laid
down
their
Armes
,
to
whom
the
General
gave
5
s.
a
piece
for
encouragement
,
and
ever
after
the
Irish
deserted
apace
.
The
16th

Town
seated
in
an
indifferent
good
Countrey
,
but
remarkable
for
nothing
so
much
as
for
several
Synods
and
Assemblies
kept
there
,
by
the
Popish
Clergy
,
in
year
1650.
when
the
late
unhappy
Troubles
where
at
the
heighth
.
Those
were
the
Congregational
Party
,
who
sometimes
condemned
the
Cessation
,
and
at
other
times
they
approved
of
it
;
But
at
last
they
Excommunicated
the
then
Marquiss
of
Ormond
,
for
acting
by
the
Kings
Commission
,
tho
he
valued
themselves
very
little
,
and
their
Excommunication
much
less
.
And
it
were
to
be
wished
that
other
Churches
too
,
as
well
as
that
of
Rome
,
were
better
advised
in
this
way
of
Censuring
.
This
place
we
found
Plundred
by
the
Irish
Army
,
as
well
their
own
People
as
the
English
;
the
Irish
Soldiers
giving
their
Countrey-men
this
reason
for
what
they
did
,
that
they
had
better
be
Plundred
by
their
own
people
,
than
give
what
they
had
to
the
English
Army
,
who
would
certainly
strip
them
in
a
day
or
two
more
.
The
17th
.
We
marched
to
Athenree
,
within
8
Miles
Thence
to
Athenree
.
of
Galway
,
standing
in
a
plain
dry
Countrey
,
and
encompassed
with
a
pretty
good
Sone
Wall
;
but
we
found
not
above
30
Irish
Cabbins
in
all
the
Town
,
most
of
which
were
deserted
too
,
and
the
Inhabitants
gone
with
the
rest
of
the
Neighbourhood
,
towards
the
Mountains
of
Slewbaughty
.
There
was
a
Religious
House
in
the
Town
,
built
at
first
,
by
Miles
Bruningham
,
in
the
Year
1241
;
and
tho
it
had
been
defaced
when
other
Monasteries
were
suppressed
,
yet
the
Irish
had
pretty
well
repaired
it
again
.
But
upon
our
Approach
,
the
Monks
had
left
their
House
,
and
greatest
part
of
their
Books
.
By
the
Ruines
of
two
Churches
,
within
the
Walls
,
and
another
Religious
Place
or
two
without
,
it
appears
a
Town
of
some
Antiquity
;
and
I
find
this
to
be
the
place
where
Bruningham
defeated
the
Irish
,
and
slew
Eight
Thousand
of
them
;
the
Town
being
walled
afterwards
,
with
the
Money
raised
of
Armour
,
and
spoil
gotten
from
the
Irish
;
for
every
one
of
the
English
that
had
double
Armour
of
the
Irish
,
gave
one
half
towards
the
Walls
of
the
Town
;
of
which
Bruningham
was
made
Baron
,
and
one
John
Hussey
,
a
Butcher
,
did
wonderful
Feats
that
Day
.
Afterwards
frequent
skirmishes
happened
hereabouts
,
between
the
English
and
Irish
,
and
the
Town
it self
was
burnt
in
Queen
Elizabeths
time
,
by
the
Mackan
Earla's
,
the
Church
not
escaping
;
one
of
them
saying
,
upon
his
being
told
that
his
Mother
was
buried
in
it
,
That
if
she
were
alive
,
he
would
sooner
burn
her
,
and
it
together
,
than
that
any
English
Churle
should
fortifie
there
.
Soon
after
this
,
2000
l.
Tax
was
laid
by
the
Lord
Deputy
to
Rebuild
the
Town
;
but
as
they
were
about
it
,
and
the
Work
well
nigh
finished
,
the
New
Gates
were
set
on
Fire
again
,
by
my
Lord
Clanrickards
Sons
,
who
passed
the
Shannon
,
and
changed
their
English
,
for
Irish
Apparel
,
then
sackt
the
Town
,
drove
away
the
Masons
,
and
defaced
the
Queens
Arms.
This
place
it
seems
has
not
been
very
considerable
since
,
by
reason
of
the
Condition
we
found
it
in
.
Our
Army
encamped
on
the
Plains
,
not
far
from
the
Town
,
the
General
going
with
a
Party
,
three
Miles
nearer
Galway
:
from
whence
being
upon
a
rising
Ground
,
we
could
see
into
the
Bay
,
where
there
lay
then
Six
Ships
;
Three
of
which
went
off
that
Night
.
It
was
given
out
in
Orders
,
that
the
Men
should
be
kept
close
in
the
Camp
,
and
to
be
ready
to
March
in
a
Minutes
warning
,
without
beat
of
Drum
;
but
on
farther
Consideration
,
we
rested
.
On
the
18th
.
the
General
going
,
with
a
Party
,
to
a
place
called
O
Ranmore
,
seated
upon
the
very
end
of
the
Bay
of
Galway
,
which
the
Irish
had
burnt
some
days
before
;
His
Excellency
thought
it
not
convenient
to
approach
so
nigh
,
as
to
view
the
Town
of
Galway
,
which
we
could
not
do
without
went
within
half
a
Mile
of
it
,
tho
not
one
of
the
Irish
appeared
;
for
they
had
only
a
few
Scampering
Dragoons
in
Town
;
and
therefore
when
the
General
had
viewed
the
most
convenient
ways
to
March
his
Guns
and
Carriages
,
and
sent
an
Aid
du
Camp
to
discover
who
Major
General
Scravemore
was
,
who
had
gone
abroad
also
,
with
a
Party
another
way
;
he
returned
to
the
Camp
,
whither
one
Mr.
Shaw
,
a
Merchant
,
and
some
others
,
came
Some
Protestants
escape
out
of
Galway
,
and
inform
the
General
of
the
state
of
that
place
.
from
Galway
,
and
gave
the
General
a
full
Account
how
matters
stood
within
;
that
the
Garrison
were
only
7
Regiments
,
and
those
neither
full
,
nor
well
Armed
;
that
they
agreed
not
amongst
themselves
about
keeping
or
surrendring
the
Town
,
tho
it
was
probable
they
would
never
abide
a
brisk
Attack
;
that
D'Vssone
,
the
French
Lieutenant
General
was
there
,
and
that
my
Lord
Dillon
was
Governour
,
and
that
the
Irish
expected
Balderick
O
Donnel
,
with
his
Party
to
come
into
Town
,
by
way
of
Ire
,
Conaught
,
without
whom
they
were
not
in
a
Condition
to
make
Resistance
.
The
heat
of
Expectation
,
from
this
Irish
Deliverer
,
was
now
pretty
well
cooled
;
and
at
the
Battle
of
Aghrim
,
he
was
at
one
Mr.
Miller's
,
at
Bally-Cushean
,
about
Six
Miles
from
Tuam
,
having
a
Party
of
about
one
Thousand
Men
at
Hedford
,
Ballinrobe
,
and
up
and
down
the
Country
,
who
upon
the
News
of
the
Battle
,
were
for
marching
in
all
haste
towards
the
Mountains
:
but
not
seeing
our
Army
approach
so
soon
as
they
expected
them
.
Balderock
,
at
the
Instigation
of
one
Linch
▪
a
Popish-Priest
,
and
one
who
called
himself
Dean
of
Tuam
,
sent
back
a
Party
to
that
Town
,
who
alledging
that
the
People
were
making
great
Preparations
to
receive
the
English
Army
;
they
stript
the
Inhabitants
,
and
burnt
the
Place
,
at
such
a
time
,
when
the
People
not
only
expected
to
get
in
their
Harvest
,
but
also
hoped
for
the
Protection
of
the
English
Army
;
but
found
the
contrary
,
as
well
to
their
disappointment
as
loss
.
This
Town
is
dignified
with
an
Archiepiscopal
Seat
,
and
is
that
where
the
first
Castle
that
ever
was
in
Ireland
,
as
to
any
pile
of
Lime
and
Stone
,
was
built
in
the
Year
1161.
by
Rotherick
O
Connor
,
the
Monarch
;
and
for
the
rarity
called
Castrum
Mirificum
.
The
Inhabitants
here
inform
us
that
the
Town
was
burnt
in
the
former
Wars
,
by
O
Donnel's
Grandfather
,
who
turning
about
from
a
rising
Ground
,
and
beholding
the
Flames
,
he
fell
down
dead
from
his
Horse
,
without
ever
speaking
another
word
.
With
the
Pillage
of
this
Town
,
and
some
other
Places
of
the
Country
about
,
Balderock
,
and
his
Party
,
marched
to
a
Place
called
Cong
,
amongst
the
Mountains
,
in
the
County
of
Mayo
;
his
Men
were
then
dwindled
away
,
and
not
above
Six
Hundred
in
Number
.
So
that
he
was
so
far
from
being
serviceable
to
Galway
,
that
his
Design
was
to
keep
amongst
the
Mountains
,
till
he
could
make
Terms
for
himself
,
upon
which
account
he
writ
to
the
General
,
before
our
Army
removed
from
Galway
.
Nigh
the
same
time
Judge
Daily
who
lived
in
that
part
of
the
Country
had
sent
to
the
General
,
desiring
that
a
Party
might
be
sent
for
him
,
who
should
seemingly
force
him
from
his
Habitation
;
this
Gentleman
and
some
others
of
the
Irish
had
kept
a
Correspondence
with
our
Government
for
several
Months
past
,
and
had
proposed
the
surrendring
of
Galloway
,
and
some
other
things
,
which
was
the
occasion
of
a
part
of
our
Armies
marching
to
the
Shannon
the
Winter
before
,
but
whether
they
were
real
and
sincere
in
what
they
proposed
,
or
they
did
it
only
to
gain
time
,
and
by
that
means
to
benefit
their
own
Party
,
may
well
be
questioned
,
since
those
very
men
continue
still
the
greatest
Patrons
of
the
Irish
,
and
what
they
told
the
General
at
that
time
was
at
best
a
Mistake
,
for
they
informed
him
that
the
Garison
of
Gallway
was
five
thousand
men
at
least
,
and
those
well
armed
,
that
the
Stores
were
considerable
,
and
the
Town
almost
impregnable
,
that
Sarcefield
with
the
whole
Body
of
the
Irish
Horse
was
upon
his
march
with
a
Resolution
to
raise
the
Siege
,
and
that
Balderock's
Party
was
above
six
thousand
strong
;
But
tho'
the
General
had
no
great
reason
to
believe
all
this
,
yet
he
thought
it
convenient
to
suppose
the
worst
,
and
therefore
was
doubtful
whether
to
befiege
the
Town
,
or
to
stay
for
the
heavy
Cannon
which
were
at
Athlone
:
yet
upon
the
repeated
Assurances
of
several
Protestants
that
those
were
only
Tricks
to
gain
time
,
he
resolved
to
approach
the
Town
of
Gallway
the
day
following
.
Orders
were
therefore
given
out
that
the
Army
should
march
in
two
Colums
,
with
an
hundred
men
of
each
Wing
for
a
Rear
Guard
,
Commanded
by
a
Lieutenant
Collonel
of
the
Right-Wing
:
A
Captain
,
Lieutenant
,
and
Ensign
with
fifty
Fire-Locks
were
to
march
at
the
Head
of
each
Regiment
.

leaving
three
thousand
Horse
and
Dragoons
there
under
the
Command
of
Lieutenant
Gen.
Scravemore
and
Major
Gen.
Ruvigny
as
well
for
the
Conveniency
of
Forrage
,
(
the
Ground
nigh
Galloway
being
very
Barren
and
Rocky
)
as
to
observe
the
Enemies
Motion
by
securing
the
Passes
,
and
by
that
means
our
great
Guns
that
were
designed
to
come
from
Athlone
,
if
the
Town
did
not
submit
without
putting
us
to
the
Trouble
.
The
Town
The
Town
described
.
of
Galloway
is
no
doubt
one
of
the
Ancientest
and
Greatest
in
Ireland
,
and
yet
I
do
not
find
many
remarkable
things
of
it
formerly
,
it
being
always
rather
a
place
of
Trade
than
Action
of
another
Nature
:
It
was
first
governed
by
a
Provost
,
then
Sovereign
and
Bayliffs
,
then
a
Mayor
and
Bayliffs
,
now
by
a
Mayor
and
Sheriffs
,
It
was
most
of
it
burnt
in
the
year
1500.
but
soon
rebuilt
by
reason
of
the
Richness
of
the
Inhabitants
:
the
Houses
within
the
Walls
are
generally
very
strong
,
and
the
Streets
narrow
;
it
was
blockt
up
by
Sir
Charles
Coot
,
and
Major
General
Ludlow
in
the
year
1652.
and
surrendred
to
Sir
Charles
on
the
12th
.
of
May
following
,
the
loss
of
which
carried
with
it
at
that
time
the
Fate
of
Ireland
.
There
lived
a
great
many
rich
Merchants
in
it
of
late
by
reason
of
the
conveniency
of
its
Situation
for
Trade
with
Spain
or
France
,
but
most
of
them
are
Irish
,
which
might
be
one
great
reason
to
expect
the
having
it
delivered
upon
reasonable
Terms
,
rather
than
by
resistance
to
have
it
ruined
.
The
Town
is
Seated
at
the
Foot
of
a
narrow
ridge
of
Land
,
having
Galloway-Bay
on
the
South
and
South-East
,
a
large
River
coming
from
Lough
Cerbe
on
the
West
,
and
towards
the
North
there
lies
a
low
Bog
,
through
the
midst
of
which
runs
a
narrow
but
deep
River
proceeding
from
the
Great
one
that
slides
by
the
Town
:
this
River
and
Bog
each
about
a
Mile
and
an
half
towards
the
North-East
,
and
then
end
together
,
the
River
sinking
under
ground
at
the
Foot
of
a
large
Hill
;
but
appears
again
at
an
Old
Castle
nigh
Oran-More
,
where
it
runs
into
the
utmost
Creek
of
the
Bay
.
The
Ridge
of
Land
between
the
Bog
and
the
Bay
towards
the
East
is
but
very
narrow
,
and
may
with
no
great
difficulty
be
Fortified
,
without
which
the
Town
is
not
to
be
defended
since
an
Army
may
approach
under
covert
of
this
Ridge
within
less
then
an
hundred
Yards
of
the
Town-wall
,
where
there
is
a
rising
Ground
that
overlooks
a
great
part
of
the
Town
.
There
had
been
some
works
upon
the
neck
of
this
Ridge
in
former
times
,
and
the
French
had
begun
to
repair
them
,
but
had
not
brought
them
to
any
perfection
;
the
Irish
however
were
hard
at
work
upon
a
Fort
at
the
end
of
this
Ridge
,
and
nigh
the
South-East
Corner
of
the
Wall
,
they
had
levelled
all
the
Hedges
nigh
the
Town
,
as
also
the
Suburbs
towards
the
East-Gate
,
and
several
very
strong
Works
were
cast
up
to
defend
that
part
of
the
Town
:
within
the
Wall
on
that
side
there
stands
a
round
Citadel
with
eight
Guns
,
having
a
Platform
nigh
it
of
six
Guns
more
,
at
the
South-East
corner
of
the
Wall
were
eight
or
ten
Guns
planted
;
there
stands
also
a
Turret
towards
the
middle
of
a
large
Curtain
that
runs
along
next
the
Bay
,
on
which
were
three
Guns
,
and
towards
the
River
they
had
planted
five
more
,
which
with
those
that
lookt
towards
the
West
and
North
,
made
in
all
about
forty
six
Guns
,
most
of
which
were
amounted
upon
little
mean
Carriages
,
something
like
those
they
commonly
have
on
Ship-board
.
We
had
no
opposition
at
all
in
approaching
the
Town
,
but
the
Irish
that
they
might
do
something
,
burnt
my
Lord
Buffin's
House
seated
by
the
River
nigh
a
Mile
from
the
Town
,
some
of
them
staying
in
the
Orchards
till
they
were
beat
from
thence
by
a
Party
of
our
Horse
;
they
burnt
also
their
Suburbs
towards
the
North-West
Gate
,
and
made
a
shew
as
if
they
were
preparing
for
a
vigorous
resistance
.
Assoon
as
a
part
of
our
Army

drawn
as
near

to

Town
,

them

Benefit
of

Lords
Justices
late
Declaration
if
they
would
surrender
without
any
further
trouble
,
whilst
the
Trumpeter
was
in
Town
,
the
Irish
fired
three
or
four
great
Guns
,
which
is
not
usual
in
such
Cases
;
but
they
pretended
afterwards
that
it
was
done
by
some
Gunners
that
knew
not
of
the
Trumpets
being
there
;
the
Answer
however
sent
by
my
Lord
Dillon
,
who
was
Governor
,
was
to
this
effect
,
That
Monsieur
de
Ussone
,
who
Commanded
in
Chief
was
of
the
same
opinion
with
himself
and
the
rest
of
the
Officers
,
and
that
they
were
resolved
to
defend
the
place
to
the
last
.
That
Afternoon
was
spent
in
the
posting
of
our
Army
.
The
Irish
in
the
mean
time
firing
their
great
Guns
from
the
Town
,
tho'
with
little
loss
to
us
,
because
of
the
conveniency
of
Ground
we
had
to
Encamp
on
.
There
were
only
three
Ships
left
now
in
the
Bay
,
who
anchoring
nigh
the
Town
,
they
made
off
from
the
Shoar
as
the
Army
marched
in
.
And
there
was
a
Proposal
offered
to
make
all
our
Tin-Boats
into
four
Floats
,
and
put
two
small
Field-pieces
upon
each
,
with
which
we
were
to
attempt
the
seizing
the
Ships
in
the
Bay
,
for
it
was
supposed
that
if
the
Ships
had
Guns
,
yet
our
Floats
would
be
so
flat
as
to
lie
under
them
,
and
so
we
might
with
no
great
danger
either
board
or
sink
the
Vessels
,
but
after
having
made
the
Floats
and
mounted
some
of
our
Guns
upon
them
,
the
design
was
found
impracticable
for
several
Reasons
,
and
we
had
an
opportunity
of
lamenting
our
misfortune
,
in
not
having
at
that
time
so
much
as
one
English
Frigat
near
us
.
The
Boats
therefore
were
to
be
imployed
other-ways
,
for

soon
as
it
was
grown

and
a

,
with
four
Squadrons
of
Horse
and

were
wafted
over
the
River
,
about
two
Miles
above
the
Town
:
by
break
of
day
our
men
were
all
safe
on
the
other
side
,
meeting
with
no
opposition
,
only
a
small
Party
of
Dragoons
fir'd
at
the
first
Party
that
landed
,
and
then
scoured
off
;
whether
the
Irish
really
expected
Balderock
O
Donnell
to
come
into
Town
that
way
is
uncertain
,
however
we
had
now
destroyed
all
hopes
of
it
,
and
he
retired
again
into
the
County
of
Mayo
,
from
whence
he
writ
to
the
General
as
has
been
said
.
On
Sunday
in
the
Evening
,
not
many
hours
after
we
appear'd
before
the
Town
,
one
Captain
Bourk
deserted
from
the
E●●my
,
and
gave
the
General
an
account
,
that
the
Fort
the
Irish
were
making
towards
the
South-East
was
almost
finished
,
and
therefore
the
sooner
it
was
attacked
,
it
would
be
the
easier
gained
,
and
that
it
was
as
necessary
for
us
to
take
as
them
to
keep
it
,
because

commanded
a
great
part
of

side

with
a
Party
of
Granadeers
and
two
Regiments
of
Foot
was
conducted
by
Captain
Bourk
the
safest
way
to
attack
this
Fort
:
(
Major
General
Talmash
would
needs
go
a
Volunteer
as
he
usually
did
(
when
it
was
not
his
turn
to
command
)
we
mannaged
it
so
well
that
our
Granadeers
were
got
almost
to
the
Foot
of
the
Enemies
works
before
they
discovered
us
,
upon
which
the
Irish
made
some
faint
firings
,
but
our
men
then
rushed
forwards
,
and
threw
in
their
Granado's
,
which
soon
forced
the
Enemy
to
retire
by
a
Line
of
Communication
that
was
drawn
from
the
Fort
to
the
Town
:
we
lost
in
this
Action
only
a
Lieutenant
and
five
Men
,
having
two
Lieutenants
and
eight
men
more
wounded
,
and
after
the
Fort
was
in
our
possession
the
Irish
fired
both
small
and
great
shot
upon
us
from
their
Walls
,
by
which
they
wounded
several
,
and
killed
one
Mounsieur
Madronet
,
an
Ingineer
,
as
he
was
giving
Orders
to
the
Workmen
.
That
morning
five
Troopers
desert
from
Balderock's
Party
giving
some
account
of
his
present
circumstances
,
tho
when
the
Irish
within
saw
a
part
of
our
Army
beyond
the
River
,
they
still
made
shew
of
resisting
,
and
burnt
all
the
Suburbs
on
that
side
the
Town
,
which
were
very
large
,
and
the
Irish
the
readier
to
destroy
them
,
because
most
of
the
Houses
thereabouts
had
formerly
belonged
to
the
English
.
About
ten
a
Clock
,
and
whilst
their
Suburbs
were
yet
in
a
flame
the
Irish
beat
a
Parley

the
Governour

to

to

a

for
some
Persons
to
come
out
in
order
to
a
Capitulation
:
To
which
the
General
returned
a
satisfactory
Answer
,
and
presently
a
Cessation
was
commanded
between
the
Camp
and
Garrison
,

in

crowding
in
great
numbers
upon
the
Walls
,

to
the
out-side
of
the
Irish
Works
,
enquiring
each
for
their
Friends
and
Acquaintance
in
one
anothers
Army
.
In
the
afternoon
Hostages
were
exchanged
in
order

The

Hostages
were
Lieutenant

,
Lieutenant
Colonel
Burk
,
and
Lieutenant
Colonel
Reyley
.
The
Articles
were
not
agreed
upon
that
day
,
and
the
Irish
prevailed
with
the
General
to
continue
the
Cessation
till
Tuesday
at
ten
a
Clock
;
which
time
being
come
,
the
General
ordered
eight
Guns
and
four
Mortars
to
be
drawn
down
to
that
Fort
we
took
the
day
before
,
and
there
to
be
planted
,
then
sent
a
Drum
to
command
away
his
Hostages
;
but
the
Irish
had
some
debates
amongst
themselves
,
not
that
they
pretended
to
hold
out
the
Town
,
but
about
the
method
of
Surrender
,
and
the
Substance
of
their
Articles
.
Their
delayes
however
made
the
General
impatient
,
and
he
sent
once
or
twice
to
hasten
their
Resolutions
:
At
last
Lieutenant
Colonel
Burk
one
of
their
Hostages
was
permitted
to
go
in
,
Major
General
Talmash
,
as
was
believed
,
being
inclined
to
lay
the
Treaty
aside
,
desired
him
,
When
they
were
ready
to
begin
afresh
,
to
give
us
a
sign
to
secure
our selves
,
by
firing
a
Gun
into
the
Air
:
The
other
replied
,
That
they
would
not
fire
from
within
till
we
provok'd
them
to
it
from
without
:
But
after
some
further
time
it
was
agreed
to
,
that
next
Sunday
morning
,
the
Town
should
be
delivered
up
upon

This
Town
with
a
good
Garison
in
it
might
have
July
,
169●
.
given
us
more
trouble
,
and
so
have
postponed
the
Siege
of
Limerick
:
yet
considering
their
present
Circumstances
,
they
did
not
manage
ill
in
procuring
for
themselves
those
Terms
which
they
had
,
tho'
the
General
might
safely
condescend
to
grant
any
thing
included
in
the
Lords
Justices
Declaration
,
which
both
the
Articles
of
Gallway
and
Limerick
are
.
At
the
same
time
that
Gallway
was
Capitulating
,
there
came
a
Drum
from
Limerick
,
which
put
us
in
hopes
that
all
was
over
,
and
that
they
had
a
mind
to
make
Terms
not
only
for
Gallway
but
for
the
Irish
Nation
in
general
,
but
it
was
only
about
the
exchange
or
releasing
of
some
Prisoners
,
which
at
that
time
could
not
be
granted
,
or
rather
it
was
to
understand
what
became
of
Gallway
that
so
the
others
might
take
their
measures
accordingly
,
military map
THE
TOWN
OF
GALLOWAY
Besieged
the
19th
of
Iuly
and
surrendred
the
14th
1692.
About
ten
a
Clock
my
Lord
Dillon
marched
out
with
the
Irish
Garison
,
being
not
above
two
thousand
three
hundred
men
,
and
those
but
indifferently
armed
and
worse
cloathed
,
they
had
six
pieces
of
Cannon
according
to
the
Capitulation
(
four
of
which
were
Iron
)
and
drawn
by
six
Teams
of
our
Horses
,
having
a
Guard
of
Horse
and
Dragoons
from
our
Camp
to
conduct
them
to
Limerick
.
At
twelve
a
Clock
the
General
himself
went
into
Town
,
being
attended
after
his
entrance
by
the
Mayor
and
Aldermen
,
the
Recorder
making
a
Speech
to
wish
him
Joy
.
In
the
Evening
one
Captain
Brain
O
Neal
with
most
of
his
Company
deserted
from
the
Enemy
,
as
did
also
several
others
,
and
taking
the
Oath
of
fidelity
to
their
Majesties
were
either
dismist
to
their
several
Habitations
,
or
else
were
entertained
in
our
Army
as
their
fancy
led
them
.
We
found
several
Guns
in
Town
unmounted
,
and
two
or
three
very
fine
Brass
Guns
which
they
had
not
planted
in
any
place
to
be
made
use
of
,
there
was
also
good
store
of
Ammunition
left
,
besides
eight
hundred
Hogs-heads
of
Meal
,
and
other
things
of
value
.
July
the
27th
.
That
part
of
the
Army
encampt
beyond
the
River
under
Lieutenant
General
Mackay
marcht
through
the
Town
,
and
our
men
were
set
to
work
in
improving
the
Fort
which
the
Irish
had
formerly
begun
towards
the
South-East
Corner
of
the
Wall
,
six
of
our
Guns
were
likewise
sent
into
Town
since
we
had
furnished
the
Irish
with
Draught-horses
for
so
many
of
theirs
,
then
we
levelled
all
the
Batteries
and
other
Works
that
we
had
begun
against
the
place
,
and
all
sick
Souldiers
that
were
not
able
to
march
,
were
ordered
to
be
taken
care
of
by
the
Governor
,
except
such
as
were
sent
in
Waggons
towards
Athlone
.
The
28th
.
we
marched
back
to
Athenree
,
and
as
the
Army
were
in
motion
,
Captain
Coal
with
nine
Men
of
The
Army
removes
.
War
and
eighteen
other
Ships
appeared
in
the
Bay
of
Gallway
,
to
whom
the
General
sent
Orders
to
sail
immediately
for
the
Shannon
;
the
twenty
ninth
we
marched
to
Lougbreagh
,
and
the
next
day
proving
very
rainy
the
Army
rested
.
The
31th
.
the
Army
marched
A
Squadron
of
Ships
come
into
the
Bay
.
towards
Airs
Court
a
well
improved
place
and
a
good
Country
all
about
,
but
upon
occasion
of
the
Waters
being
swelled
by
the
former
days
rain
,
or
else
through
the
mistake
of
Orders
,
the
Army
encamped
that
night
in
three
several
places
,
which
had
been
a
good
opportunity
for
a
vigorous
Enemy
to
endeavour
the
retrieving
of
their
Losses
,
but
the
Truth
of
it
was
,
they
were
at
too
great
a
distance
for
any
such
Attempt
.
And
since
we
have
brought
the
Army
to
the
end
of
A
Brief
Account
of
what
hapned
in
other
places
of
the
Kingdom
.
this
month
let
us
leave
them
a
while
on
their
march
towards
Limerick
,
and
briefly
give
an
account
of
what
hapned
much
about
this
time
in
several
other
parts
of
the
Kingdom
.
July
the
1st
.
Lieutenant
Colonel
Dawson
marcht
with
a
Party
of
the
Militia
towards
the
Comorra
Mountains
not
far
from
Waterford
where
he
killed
three
Rapparees
;
and
Major
Stroud
being
one
of
the
Officers
appointed
by
the
Government
to
Command
the
Militia
in
the
County
of
Cork
,
killed
ten
Rapparees
near
Baly-Cleugh
;
and
in
ten
days
there
were
sixty
more
killed
in
that
part
of
the
Countrey
adjoyning
to
Bandon
,
by
Lieutenant
Colonel
More
and
others
of
the
Militia
,
and
Colonel
Blunt
killed
five
near
Cashell
.
In
the
beginning
of
April
one
Duppine
obtained
Letters
Patents
for
the
setting
up
a
Linnen
Manufacture
in
Ireland
,
this
was
very
taking
at
first
,
and
a
great
many
of
the
Chief
men
in
the
Kingdom
had
shares
in
it
.
On
the
8th
.
of
July
the
Lords
Justices
with
several
of
the
Nobility
and
Judges
met
at
the
Thols●ll
,
in
Dublin
,
and
there
admitted
several
new
Members
of
the
said
Corporation
,
but
what
this
project
will
come
to
in
this
Kingdom
is
as
yet
uncertain
.
The
same
day
our
Smirna
Fleet
came
into
the
Harbour
of
Kinsale
,
and
we
had
an
account
that
our
Grand
Fleet
was
then
nigh
Cape-Clere
.
About
this
time
five
and
twenty
Rapparees

of
the
Militia
of
Roscreagh
go
towards
Nenagh
,
upon
an
expedition
for
black
Cattle
and
killed
ten
Rapparees
;
one
Captain
Warren
killed
nine
also
in
the
County
of
Killkenny
.
On
the
17th
.
ten
Ships
with
Mortars
,
Bombs
,
Ammunition
,
&c.
came
from
Dublin
to
Kinsale
,
being
part
of
those
convoyed
afterwards
by
Captain
Coale
to
Limerick
,
and
then
our
Fleet
convoyed
the
Smirna-Fleet
from
Kinsale
towards
England
:
Ships
also
came
to
Waterford
with
one
hundred
Recruits
for
the
Brandenburg
▪
Regiment
who
suffered
much
in
the
former
Siege
of
Limerick
,
and
some
few
also
for
the
Danes
.

(
formerly
Sir
Edward
Deering's
)
joyned
with
four
hundred
of
the
Militia
marched
towards
Sligo
to
view
the
Posture
of
the
Enemy
thereabouts
,
and
it
being
reported
that
Lieutenant
General
Sheldon's
Horse
were
in
that
part
of
the
Country
;
two
hundred
Horse
and
Dragoons
were
sent
abroad
to
discover
the
Truth
of
it
.
Lieutenant
Colonel
Ramsey
with
the
rest
of
the
Party
marched
to
Ballysedara
Bridge
,
four
Miles
from
Sligo
where
he
found
old
Sir
Teague
O
Regan
with
eighty
Horse
,
and
about
two
hundred
Foot
very
Advantageously
posted
,
to
hinder
our
passage
that
way
,
but
our
Party
attacking
them
,
they
gave
ground
after
some
time
,
and
Sir
Francis
Hambleton
with
some
of
the
Militia
,
and
a
Troop
of
Colonel
Winn's
Dragroons
coming
in
the
mean
time
,
the
Enemy
were
pursued
almost
to
the
Fort
of
Sligo
,
about
thirty
of
them
killed
and
ninteen
taken
Prisoners
,
amongst
whom
were
two
Lieutenants
and
an
Ensign
,
and
the
Store-keeper
of
Sligo
.
Sir
Teague
himself
narrowly
escaping
for
his
mean
Appearance
was
the
reason
that
a
Lieutenant
was
seized
instead
of
him
.
The
Earl
of
Drogheda's
Regiment
had
now
Orders
to
march
from
the
Queens
County
to
Mullingar
,
where
the
men
were
daily
imployed
to
improve
and
strengthen
the
Works
,
my
Lord
himself
marched
always
with
his
Regiment
,
and
then
took
a
great
deal
of
pains
as
well
in
seeing
the
Works
compleated
as
in
forwarding
the
Stores
,
and
also
in
hearing
and
redressing
Complaints
and
Grievances
relating
as
well
to
the
Army
the
Country
.
A
Party
of
the
Militia
bring
in
some
Prisoners
from
the
Island
nigh
Lanesborough
who
were
afterwards
sent
to
Dublin
.
Seventeen
Rapparees
were
killed
in
the
County
of
Kildare
by
two
Parties
of
the
Militia
,
and
three
hanged
at
Edenderry
;
five
hundred
of
the
Militia
of
the
County
of
Cork
under
the
Command
of
Colonel
Beecher
met
with
about
four
hundred
of
the
Irish
beyond
a
place
called
Shibbareene
,
and
after
a
small
dispute
the
Enemy
were
put
to
flight
,
by
which
means
our
Party
had
almost
surpriz'd
Mackarty
Moore
and
Colonel
O
Donavan
who
were
not
far
off
,
the
Enemy
lost
nigh
sixty
,
and
the
Militia
got
a
considerable
Booty
of
Cattle
,
and
nigh
the
same
time
one
Barry
a
Captain
with
ten
of
his
men
deserted
from
the
Enemy
.
On
the
Thirtieth
of
July
,
part
of
the
Militia
of
the
County
of
Wickloe
,
being
two
Troops
of
Horse
,
two
of
Dragoons
and
five
Companies
of
Foot
rendezvoused
on
the
Murrough
five
Miles
from
Wickloe
,
where
they
were
viewed
by
Major
Brooks
and
Captain
Phillips
appointed
by
the
Government
as
Superintendents
of
the
Militia
of
that
County
.
And
thus
ended
this
active
month
of
July
in
Ireland
where
more
execution
was
done
then
in
all
Europe
besides
,
notwithstanding
the
great

A
brief
Account
of
what
hapned
in
other
places
of
the
Kingdom
during
the
Month
of
August
.
THe
General
being
assured
,
that
the
Irish
were
Fresh
Regiments
sent
for
to
the
Camp
.
using
their
utmost
skill
and
industry
to
rally
and
re-inforce
their
shattered
Army
,
and
not
knowing
how
far
despair
might
carry
Men
,
that
were
come
now
to
their
last
Stake
,
considering
also
that
we
had
a
strong
Town
before
us
,
which
would
be
the
work
of
some
Time
to
reduce
,
if
the
Enemy
made
what
Resistance
might
justly
be
expected
;
his
own
Troops
being
likewise
harrassed
by
continual
labour
and
toil
,
suffering
often
through
scarcity
of
Bread
and
other
Necessaries
by
reason
of
continual
marching
:
Those
and
other
Considerations
prevailed
with
the
General
to
send
for
all
the
Regiments
that
had
been
left
in
Munster
and
other
places
,
except
Colonel
Hastings
at
Cork
,
and
some
Inniskilliner's
in
the
North
;
and
some
of
them
being
already
upon
their
march
;
we
were
joyned
on
the
First
of
August
at
Banoher
The
Army
marched
to
Banoher
Bridg.
Bridge
by
Colonel
Matthews
Dragoons
,
and
Colonel
Lloyd's
Foot
;
the
latter
upon
further
consideration
,
being
ordered
back
to
Athlone
,
for
that
Balderock's
Party
was
still
on
foot
.
Banoher
is
about
fourteen
miles
from
Athlone
down
the
River
towards
Limerick
,
and
is
a
very
strong
Pass
,
at
which
the
Irish
kept
three
Regiments
all
the
precedeing
Winter
,
building
small
Huts
to
shelter
th●mselves
from
the
Weather
:
The
Bridge
it self
consists
of
seventeen
large
Arches
,
one
of
which
was
broke
down
by
the
Irish
,
and
another
is
since
fallen
.
At
the
Bridge
end
,
on
Leinster
side
had
been
a
considerable
Stone
Fort
,
built
in
the
former
Wars
,
now
demonished
by
the
Irish
,
but
on
the
other
side
of
the
River
they
had
cast
up
a
Work
close
to
the
Bridge
,
and
there
planted
four
Field
peeces
,
behind
which
stood
an
Old
Castle
,
not
to
be
forced
without
Cannon
,
and
nigh
that
a
very
Regular
▪
Fort
,
and
well
palisado'd
,
so
that
it
was
not
so
easie
a
thing
to
force
this
place
at
any
time
during
the
former
Winter
as
some
Coffee-House
Generals
,
and
pot
valiant
Souldiers
made
it
,
but
Men
,
that
have
been
bred
up
that
way
,
and
are
actually
upon
the
Place
,
are
commonly
best
Judges
of
what
is
fit
to
be
attempted
in
such
a
Case
,
though
it
is
not
convenient
they
should
alwayes
give
Reasons
for
what
they
do
to
every
one
who
pretend
to
be
concern'd
.
Our
Army
encamped
here
on
a
narrow
Neck
of
Ground
left
by
the
slopeing
of
the
River
on
the
Right
,
and
a
vast
Bog
on
the
Left
.
The
Encampment
being
so
strong
,
that
it
had
been
impossible
for
any
Army
or
numbers
of
Men
to
have
forced
us
from
our
Ground
.
August
the
Second
,
the
Army
halted
,
and
a
detachment
Brigadier
Leveson
sent
forwarwards
with
a
Party
.
of
four
Men
out
of
each
Troop
of
Horse
,
with
a
Party
of
Dragoons
,
making
in
all
five
hundred
men
,
under
the
Command
of
Brigadier
Leveson
,
were
sent
forwards
to
scowre
the
Country
:
On
the
Fourth
this
Party
went
to
Nenagh
,
where
stands
the
Remains
of
an
Old
Castle
built
by
King
John
,
and
now
the
Inheritance
of
the
Duke
of
Ormond
:
The
Roof
of
this
Castle
was
burnt
by
a
Party
of
our
Army
at
our
decamping
last
year
,
but
the
Walls
,
and
some
other
conveniencies
remain
still
,
being
possest
all
Winter
by
long
Anthony
Carol
,
whose
Party
was
now
about
five
hundred
:
Hearing
therefore
of
Brigadier
Levesons
approach
,
he
detached
a
Party
towards
a
Bridge
about
half
a
mile
from
the
Place
,
thinking
to
maintain
that
Pass
till
his
Men
might
march
safely
off
towards
Limerick
,
but
at
his
coming
to
the
Bridge
,
perceiving
our
Men
marching
to
the
Right
and
Left
to
incompass
him
,
after
some
few
shots
,
he
retreated
to
Nenagh
setting
the
small
part
of
the
Town
that
was
left
on
fire
,
which
was
soon
Nenagh
deserted
by
the
Irish
.
quenched
by
some
English
Prisoners
,
that
had
been
kept
there
,
but
now
released
,
when
the
Irish
made
towards
Limerick
,
when
our
Men
got
to
Nenagh
,
Major
Wood
was
ordered
with
a
Party
to
pursue
the
Irish
,
which
he
did
almost
to
Cariganlis
,
taking
most
of
their
Baggage
,
and
about
four
hundred
large
Cattle
,
which
the
Irish
were
in
too
great
haste
to
carry
off
.
The
Third
our
Army
marched
to
Bi
r
,
but
the
passage
over
the
Bridge
at
Banoher
,
being
exceeding
troublesom
,
it
was
late
before
the
Guns
and
Carriages
could
be
got
up
,
and
therefore
we
rested
on
the
Fourth
.
And
now
we
found
,
that
notwithstanding
all
the
supplies
of
Horses
that
we
had
out
of
England
,
yet
there
still
wanted
a
great
many
for
the
use
of
the
heavy
Cannon
,
and
therefore
it
was
proposed
to
bring
them
down
from
Athlone
to
Limerick
by
Water
,
but
that
being
found
impracticable
,
the
General
sent
to
Dublin
,
where
most
of
the
Nobility
and
Gentry
furnished
him
with
their
Coach
Horses
,
but
all
those
not
being
sufficient
a
great
many
more
were
pressed
by
an
Order
from
the
Government
.
The
Fifth
we
marched
to
Burasicane
,
where
there
had
been
a
pretty
English
Plantation
,
but
burnt
down
the
former
Winter
,
by
the
Garrison
of
Bi
r
,
because
they
did
not
desire
to
have
the
Rapparees
in
so
near
a
Neighbourhood
.
The
Sixth
we
marched
to
Ninagh
,
where
we
stayed
four
dayes
for
want
of
Bread
and
other
Necessaries
,
The
Army
march
thither
.
it
being
no
small
difficulty
to
furnish
an
Army
with
constant
Supplies
in
a
desolate
Country
,
when
they
are
still
upon
their
march
,
and
where
every
thing
must
he
carried
upon
the
Axletree
.
Friday
the
Seventh
,
The
Lord
Justice
Coningesby
came
to
the
Camp
,
where
he
staid
nigh
a
Fortnight
:
And
Saturday
the
Eighth
,
a
Party
of
Horse
and
Dragoons
with
several
Pioneers
went
towards
the
Silver
Mines
to
mend
the
Roads
for
our
heavy
Carriages
:
Another
Party
at
the
same
time
marching
towards
Killalow
Pass
,
who
brought
in
seven
or
eight
Prisoners
.
A
Brigadier
of
the
Guards
and
two
more
Horsemen
desert
the
Enemy
and
inform
us
,
that
they
were
encamped
nigh
Cariganlis
,
and
making
what
preparations
they
could
to
withstand
us
,
forcing
all
the
Irish
into
Arms
,
that
were
within
their
Jurisdiction
,
and
arming
their
Foot
anew
out
of
the
Stores
at
Limerick
,
and
that
they
talked
of
giving
us
Battle
again
before
we
should
approach
the
Town
.
The
same
day
one
Mr.
Richards
came
A
Treaty
with
Balderock
O
Donel.
from
Balderock
O
Donel
to
our
Camp
,
where
he
stayed
two
or
three
dayes
,
and
then
went
towards
Dublin
in
order
to
wait
upon
his
Majesty
,
who
was
then
in
Flanders
.
His
business
was
to
assure
the
General
of
Balderooks
affections
to
their
Majesties
Service
,
and
that
if
he
might
have
the
Men
he
brought
over
with
him
admitted
into
pay
in
order
to
serve
his
Majesty
in
Flanders
or
elsewhere
,
himself
made
Earl
of
Tyrconnel
,
to
which
he
pretended
a
Title
from
his
Ancestors
,
and
have
two
thousand
pounds
given
him
for
his
expences
,
he
would
then
come
over
to
us
,
and
bring
a
considerable
Body
of
the
Irish
along
with
him
,
The
General
therefore
considering
that
it
was
no
ill
policy
to
get
the
Irish
to
draw
bloud
one
of
another
,
consented
to
some
of
O
Donnels
proposals
,
and
the
business
was
shortly
after
compleated
,
tho'
Balderock
complained
heavily
that
the
thing
should
be
made
publick
to
the
great
hinderance
August
,
169●
.
of
the
Numbers
of
Men
he
designed
to
bring
off
,
and
almost
to
the
hazard
of
his
own
life
,
for
this
Treaty
was
first
in
the
Dublin
Intelligence
,
and
then
in
the
London
Gazette
dated
August
the
13th
.
which
was
before
the
thing
was
really
compleated
,
but
those
that
have
seen
Balderock
,
will
believe
that
it
was
partly
his
own
fault
.
There
was
also
an
Officer
sent
at
the
same
time
by
Sir
Teague
O
Regan
from
Sligo
about
the
surrender
of
that
place
,
the
Articles
being
in
a
manner
agreed
to
,
but
this
business
was
afterwards
delayed
,
and
the
Government
obliged
to
be
at
the
expence
and
trouble
of
sending
a
Body
of
men
from
Dublin
and
other
parts
of
the
Kingdom
to
reduce
it
by
force
,
and
it
s
confidently
averred
that
this
hapned
meerly
by
the
covetousness
of
one
of
our
Colonels
,
who
had
the
Secreet
of
this
Affair
committed
to
his
management
.
August
the
9th
.
Lieutenant
Colonel
Oxborough
of
Colonel
Lutterill's
Horse
,
his
Lieutenant
and
their
Attendance
desert
,
and
come
to
our
camp
,
and
a
Foot
Officer
with
eleven
Musquiteers
and
their
Arms
came
in
also
:
A
Man
and
a
Woman
were
this
day
hanged
in
the
Camp
,
the
Man
for
robbing
Tents
,
and
the
Woman
for
being
accessary
to
the
Murther
of

of
our
Souldiers
nigh
Gallway
.
The
time

being
now
expired
,
and
the
General
willing
still
to
use
all
fair
means
possible
to
bring
in
the
Irish
without
the
effusion
of
more
Blood
,
he
therefore
orders
the

By

of

THE
Enemies
of
Their
Majesties
Government
,
A
Declaration
from
the
General
to
the
Irish
.
and
the
Disturbers
of
the
Quiet
of
this
Kingdom
having
been
very
industrious
to
conceal
the
Grace
and
Favour
which
has
been
offered
to
such
as
should
return
to
their
Duty
.
To
take
away
all
manner
of
excuse
for
the
future
,
from
those
that
still
continue
in
Arms
,
I
have
thought
fit
to
publish
,
that
tho'
the
Term
prescribed
by
the
Lords
Justices
in
their
Proclamation
of
the
seventh
of
July
is
expired
,
so
that
no
man
can
lay
claim
to
the
Condiscentions
therein
made
;
yet
if
within
ten
days
from
the
date
hereof
,
any
Person
or
Persons
shall
do
the
Services
therein
mentioned
,
I
promise
with
the
Consent
of
the
Lords
Justices
,
who
are
thereunto
impowered
by
Their
Majesties
,
that
they
shall
have
a
full
and
free
Pardon
of
all
Treasons
,
Crimes
,
and
Offences
by
them
committed
against
Their
Majesties
Government
,
and
be
restored
to
their
Estates
forfeited
by
the
said
Treasons
,
&c.
And
to
shew
their
Majesties
Bounty
and
Confidence
in
them
that
leave
the
Enemy
,
and
have
a
mind
to
testifie
their
Zeal
and
Affection
to
Their
Majesties
Service
.
I
do
hereby
engage
that
all
such
Officers
and
Souldiers
as
come
off
from
the
Irish
with
a
Body
of
Men
,
or

The
Army
that
day
marched
to
a
place
called
Shalley
,
in
a
wild
and
desolate
Country
nigh
the
Silver-Mines
,
where
in
the
former
Wars
,
about
seventeen
of
Sir
George
Hambleton's
Followers
were
slain
by
the
Kenedies
,
and
here
Major
General
Trelawyng's
Regiment
joined
us
;
the
12th
.
we
marched
to
a
place
called
Tulla
,
where
we
halted
next
day
,
and
our
Advance
Guards
brought
in
one
of
the
Enemies
Outscouts
a
Prisoner
.
Several
Deserters
also
come
off
to
us
,
amongst
whom
were
two
of
the
Horse
Guards
,
who
inform
the
General
that
the
Irish
Foot
were
drawn
into
Limerick
,
and
their
Horse
having
burnt
several
places
that
escaped
their
fury
last
year
,
were
retired
likewse
near
the
Town
;
we
understand
also
that
my
Lord
Tyrconnell
was
taken
suddenly
very
ill
,
and
there
were
several
disorders
amongst
the
Chief
Officers
in
Limerick
,
some
of
them
being
suspected
to
incline
to
our
side
:
From
hence
the
General
sent
a
Spy
who
took
several
of
the
Declarations
in
order
to
disperse
them
in

to

towards

,
with
whom
went
the
General
and
all
the
Chief
Officers
in
order
to
view
the
Town
:
The
Enemy
had
lined
the
Hedges
in
several
places
with
Foot
,
and
there
appeared
two
Squadrons
of
Horse
and
a
Party
of
a
Dragoons
about
a
Mile
on
this
side
the
Town
,
who
fronted
our
Men
for
some
time
,
but
when
they
saw
our
Advance
Party
resolved
to
push
them
,
they
retired
nearer
home
,
and
afterwards
their
Foot
fired
several

,
but
without
any
harm
to
us
,
tho'
about
seven
of
the
Enemy
were
killed
by
our
Dragoons
:
We
stayed
several
hours
within
less
then
Cannon-shot
of
the
Town
,
upon
the
Ground
where
we
encamped
the
year
before
,
we
could
see
that
they
had
repaired
Ireton's
Fort
and
built
another
some
distance
to
the
Right
,
where
formerly
stood
an
Old
Church
,
and
a
third
was
begun
also
with
a
Line
of
Communication
from
one
to
the
other
,
but
not
as
yet
finished
,
they
had
then
two
Field-peeces
in
Ireton's
Fort
,
but
did
not
fire
them
,
and
drew
them
off
to
the
Town
next
day
.
Whilst
we
staid
there
,
first
a
Drummer
,
and
then
one
Hagan
a
Captain
came
off
to
us
,

informed
the
General
that

the
day
before

not
according
to
his
desire
,
and
that
after
all
his
Endeavours
and
good
Services
to
promote
the
Catholick
Cause
,
he
was
slighted
to
that
Degree
,
that
whilst
their
Camp
lay
by
Athlone
,
one
Lieutenant
Colonel
Conner
came
to
my
Lord's
Tent
and
bid
him
be
gone
from
the
Camp
,
else
he
would
cut
his
Tent-Cords
:
My
Lord
Tyrconnell
knowing
that
he
durst
not
be
so
impudent
without
a
considerable
Faction
to
support
him
,
went
next
Morning
early
towards
Limerick
,
where
he
remained
till
his
death
,
which
some
say
was
not
without
suspition
of
foul
play
,
in
being
poisoned
with
a
Cup
of
Rattafeau
,
this
is
nothing
but
Apricock-stones

infused
in

which
gives

some
of
which
my
Lord
Tyrconnell
had
given
him
at
an
Entertainment
;
and
falling
ill
upon
it
,
he
often
repeated
the
word
,
Rattafeau
,
which
made
several
believe
that
he
had
received
Poyson
in
that
Liquor
,
because
he
would
not
comply
with
the
prevailing
Faction
then
in
Town

But
most

say
that
he
died
of

it
was

the

remembring

We
understood
also
that
Colonel
Henry
Lutterill
was
not
only
suspected
to
hold
a
Correspondence
with
our
Army
,
but
was
taken
into
Custody
and
tried
for
his
life
,
in
that
he
with
some
others
had
consulted
about
the
surrender
of

,
for
which
they
designed
to
put
him
to
death
,
but
that
they
either

the
occasion

upon

him
by
a
Trumpeter
from
some

Officer
in

being

any

,
he
produced
another
to
Col.
Lutterill
,
upon
which
the
said
Colonel
and
Lieut.
Col.
Burk
that
came
from
Gallway
were
both
confined
:
They
were
jealous
also
of
Brigadier
Clifford
,
tho'
they
did
not
think
fit
at
that
time
to
take
any
great
notice
of
it
;
all
which
accounts
we
had
confirmed
by
a
Pacquet
of
Letters
intercepted
upon
the
Road
to
Killmalock
,
amongst
which
was
one
from
a
Priest

he
gave
also
a
good
Account
how

stood
then
with
the
Irish
,
that
their
Horse

Dragoons
called
5000
in
number
,
were
encamped
beyond
the
River
in
the
County
of
Clare
,
that
a
vast
number
of
Creights
and
their
Cattle
were
all
drawn
towards
the
Town
,
and
that
the
bad
weather
was
as
injurious
to
them
as
us
,
in
that
most
of
their
Foot
were
in
the
Town
,
and
in
their
works
,
which
lying
low
were
almost
filled
with
Water
,
but
that
they
had
demolished
some
of
their
new
works
on
this
side
the
Town
,
least
their
men
should
desert
from
thence
to
our
Army
;
and
that
the
Irish
talked
of
a
Pacquet-Boat
come
from
France
,
by
which
they
were
encouraged
to
hold
out
having
promise
of
Provisions
,
and
immediate
Succours
to
follow
:
The
same
day
a
Trumpet
was
sent
to
Limerick
about
the
exchange
of
some
Prisoners
we
then
had
with
the
Irish
that
were
taken
formerly
upon
small
Parties
in
the
Country
.
And
on
the
20th
.
two
Troopers
and
a
Dragoon
desert
from
the
Enemy
,
but
the
weather
was
now
so
very
bad
that
the
Army
could
not
move
,
and
it
was
much
feared
that
our
Guns
would
not
be
got
up
the
ways
were
grown
so
deep
,
however
our
men
were
not
idle
,
but
in
the
midst
of
all
the
rain
and
wet
they
made
Faggots
,
and
other
necessary
Preparations
to
being
the
Seige
.
The
General
had
now
some
suspicion
that
Balderock
O
Donnel
was
not
sincere
in
what
he
had
promised
,
as
appears
by
his
Letter
sent
this
day
to
Col.
Lloyd
,
then
on
his
march
with
the
Guns
;
part
of
which
was
as
follows
.
SIR
,
BY
a
Letter
this
day
received
,
I
have
some
reason
The
General
's
Letter
to
Col.
Lloyd
.
to
apprehend
that
O
Donnel
is
not
so
sincere
in
his
Treaty
as
is
to
be
wished
:
For
that
reason
,
assoon
as
you
have
convoyed
the
Cannon
till
they
join
the
Detachment
under
the
Marquess
La
Forrest's
Command
,
I
would
have
you
return
with
your
Regiment
to
Athlone
,
and
send
the
Northern
Militia
back
to
their
Country
,
to
prevent
any
Inroads
he
may
make
that
way
.
But
if
you
find
that
O
Donnel
submits
,
as
he
promised
,
or
that
Sligo
is
surrendred
,
you
must
continue
your
March
according
to
your
former
Orders
,
&c.

But
this
was
only
Misinformation
,
for
O
Donnel
made
it
appear
afterwards
that
he
was
sincere
in
his
Intentions
,
and
that
he
had
no
mind
to
join
with
Sir
Teague
O
Regan
,
as
was
suspected
.
The
21st
the
Badness
of
the
Weather
increased
,
and
several
Regiments
were
forced
to
remove
their
Camps
,
the
Water
overflowing
their
former
Ground
.
Major
O
Conner
and
nine
more
desert
the
Enemy
,
and
inform
the
General
,
that
if
we
had
either
of
the
Passes
at
Killalow
or
Bryans-Bridg
,
a
great
many
of
the
Enemies
Horse
and
Dragoons
would
desert
.
And
this
Evening
our
Tinboats
came
up
to
the
Camp
,
being
brought
by
Water
from
Athlone
towards
Killalow
.
The
General
taking
notice
of
the
extravagant
Rates

about
ascertaining
the
Rates
of
Provisions
.
the
Sutlers
and
others
that
furnished
the
Camp
with
Provisions
,
had
raised
their
Goods
to
,
he
sent
out
an
Order
that
all
Ale
from
Dublin
or
Wickloe
should
be
sold
at
6
d.
per
Quart
,
all
other
Ale
coming
above
forty
Miles
,
at
5
d.
and
all
under

at

d.
per

,

at

s.

,
&c.
And
that
no
Person
should
presume
to
exceed
those
Rates
,
on
the
Penalty
of
forfeiting
all
his
Goods
,
and
suffering
a
Month's
Imprisonment
.
But
they
presently
found
out
a
Trick
for
this
,
and
called
all
Drink
that
came
to
the
Camp
,
Dublin
or
Wicklow
Ale
;
and
were
so
far
from
observing
this
Order
,
that
Drink
growing
scarce
towards
the
close
of
the
Campagn
,
they
sold
their
Ale
at
14
d.
per

Another
Order
was
likewise
published
about
the
buying
of

And
for
the
Encouragement
of

This
Order
was
dated
the
day
before
,
and
now
published
in
the
Camp
,
which
prevented
a
great
many
Followers
of
the
Army
from
committing
several
Disorders
,
that
of
themselves
they
were
very
much
inclined
to

the
Weather
begun
to
amend
:
and
Francis
Burton
Esq
was
sent
by
the
General
to
the
Squadron
of
Ships
then
in
the
River
,
with
Orders
for
them
to
sail
nearer
the
Town
.
The
23
d
two
hundred
and
fifty
fresh
Draught-Horses
were
sent
out
to
hasten
up
the
Train
;
and
each
Regiment
was
ordered
to
make
ready
2000
Fascines
to
begin
the
Work
at
Limerick
.
One
Dowdall

Counsellor
,
and
Sheldon
a
Lieutenant
in

Irish
Foot-Guards

desert
:
and
two
Troopers
and
a
Sutler
were
condemned
at
a
Court
Martial
,
the
two
Troopers
for
robbing
,
and
the
Sutler
for
buying
Goods
of
them
,
contrary
to
the
General
's
strict
Orders
.
That
Evening
also
our
Guns
came
within
sight
of
the
Camp
:
and
the
Weather
now
seeming
to
promise
us
our
wonted
Success
,
the
General
resolved
to
move
forwards
;
but
since
the
Irish
Army
were
all
in
and
about
the
Town
,
and
't
was
probable
they
might
design
us
some
Trouble
in
our
Approach
,
therefore
it
was
ordered
that
at
break
of
Day
next
Morning
the
Army
should
be
ready
to
march
,
but
without
beat
of
Drum
;
six
hundred
Horse
,
three
hundred
Dragoons
,
and
one
thousand
Firelocks
,
and
two
hundred
Granadeers
out
of
each
Line
for
an
Advance-Party
:
these
were
to
march
in
two
Lines
at
the
Head
of
either
Wing
,
with
four
Field-pieces
each
,
and
twenty
five
Pioneers
a
piece
to
cut
down
any
Rubs
that
might
be
in
their
way
;
the
whole
Body
of
Horse
were
to
march
after
the
detached
Foot
,
with
each
Man
three
Fascines
before
him
,
which
they
were
to
leave
where
ordered
;
so
that
the
Enemy
might
see
we
were
resolved
to
spare
no
Pains
,
rather
than
go
without
the
Town
a
second
time
.
Then
all
the
Foot
were
to
march
,
and
after
them
the
Train
;
and
no
Baggage
whatever
to
march
near
the
detached
Party
,
who
were
to
march
directly
to
the
Quakers
House
,
and
there
to
make
a
Halt
till
the
Foot
came
up
.
Then
the
Right
Line
to
fall
into
the
Road
on
the
right
Hand
,
and
the
Left
Line
on
the
other
Road
from
the
Quakers
House
:
and
all
to
draw
up
afterwards
in
order
of
Battel
;
so
to
march
easily
towards
the
Town
,
making
several
Halts
to
observe
the
Enemies
Motion
.
These
Orders
I
have
set
down
,
to
shew
the
Reader
the
Method
of
approaching
Towns
,
when
an
Army
expects
Opposition
from
an
Enemy
,
though
the
Irish
did
not
give
us
much
disturbance
in
this
.
But
before
we
leave
Cariganless
,
I
know
not
whether
it
may
be
worth
the
Reader
's
while
to
be
informed
of
a
Tradition
that
the
People
in
the
Neighbourhood
have
concerning
2
old
Castles
that
stand
nigh
half
a
Mile
from
this
place
,
and
not
above
a
stone's
cast
one
from
another
:
they
say
that
in
former
times
two
Brehons
,
or
Irish
Judges
,
lived
in
those
two
Castles
,
who
hapned
at
last
to
have
some
Disputes
about
their
Properties
;
and
their
Wives
,
though
they
were
Sisters
,
used
to
stand
upon
the
Battlements
of
their
own
Houses
,
and
scold
at
one
another
for
several
hours
together
;
which
at
length
one
of
them
being
weary
of
,
she
found
out
a
Trick
only
to
appear
and
begin
the
Fray
,
then
she
would
place
an
Image
that
she
had
dress'd
up
in
her
own
Clothes
,
in
such
a
posture
as
her
Sister
could
not
discern
it
from
her self
at
that
distance
;
who
not
sensible
of
the
Cheat
,
she
used
to
scold
on
,
and
at
last
fretted
her self
to
death
,
because
she
could
not
be
answered
in
her
own
Language
.
But
I
'm
afraid
the
Women
in
this
Country
will
scarce
pardon
this
Story
:
And
therefore
according
to
the
former
Orders
,
Friday
the
25th
,
the
Army
marched
towards
Limerick
,
Our
Army
approaches
the
City
of
Limerick
.
leaving
two
Regiments
of
Foot
and
one
hundred
Horse
till
the
Cannon
come
up
next
day
.
Our
Advance-Party
of
Horse
and
Dragoons
met
with
no
great
Opposition
,
only
some
small
firings
between
them
and
the
Irish
Out-Guards
,
with
no
great
damage
to
either
side
.
We
made
our
Approaches
much
after
the
same
manner
we
did
the
Year
before
,
tho
we
drew
more
to
the
Left
,
and
nearer
the
Shannon
,
but
fix'd
our
Camp
further
from
the
Town
.
When
greatest
part
of
our
Army
was
got
up
,
our
Detached
Body
of
Foot
,
under
the
Command
of
Lieut.
Gen.
Mackay
,
was
ordered
to
Attack
Ireton's
Fort
,
and
the
old
Church-Fort
,
where
we
expected
the
Enemy
had
lodged
a
Party
;
our
Men
made
a
Line
cross
the
Fields
,
and
were
sustained
by
several
entire
Regiments
of
Foot
,
and
a
Body
of
Horse
.
We
advanced
towards
both
the
Forts
at
one
time
,
and
found
the
upper
one
deserted
:
and
when
we
came
almost
within
Musquet-shot
of
Ireton's
Fort
,
the
Irish
quitted
that
also
,
and
retired
towards
a
little
stone
Fort
nigh
the
Outworks
of
the
Town
.
Our
Men
seeing
them
draw
off
,
rushed
forwards
and
fired
;
but
to
no
great
purpose
,
for
the
Enemy
,
after
some
faint
Returns
,
presently
lodged
themselves
in
the
other
Fort
:
And
towards
the
Evening
Count
Nassau
with
a
Party
attacked
Cromwel's
Fort
,
standing
to
the
left
of
the
other
,
which
the
Irish
had
made
pretty
defensible
,
and
wherein
they
had
then
about
500
Men
lodged
:
Our
Granadeers
were
in
the
Front
,
who
were
saluted
with
a
Volley
of
Shot
from
the
Enemy
;
but
this
being
a
thing
they
were
now
pretty
well
used
to
,
they
ran
forwards
,
and
threw
in
their
Granades
;
and
then
being
followed
by
the
whole
Party
,
the
Irish
in
less
than
half
an
Hour
left
the
Fort
to
our
Discretion
:
We
had
only
tow
or
three
killed
,
and
the
Enemy
about
ten
,
though
some
made
them
a
great
many
more
.
Oliver
Cromwel
,
in
the
former
Wars
of
Ireland
,
never
went
further
than
Clonmel
;
for
there
receiving
Orders
from
the
Parliament
to
go
for
England
,
he
entrusted
the
Management
of
the
Army
to
Ireton
;
who
at
the
besieging
of
Limerick
,
built
several
Forts
;
two
of
the
most
remarkable
,
bearing
the
Names
of
Ireton's
and
Cromwel's
,
were
now
ordered
to
be
called
Mackay's
and
Nassau's
Forts
,
because
gained
under
those
Commanders
;
and
by
those
Names
we
shall
call
them
for
the
future
;
when
there
is
occasion
to
mention
them
.
When
we
came
up
towards
the
Town
,
we
found
a
Man
newly
hanged
upon
the
Gallows
,
who
the
Irish
said
was
an
Officer
of
theirs
,
and
put
there
for
endeavouring
to
desert
to
our
Army
.
The
General
having
some
Intimation
of
a
Salley
designed
from
the
Town
that
Night
,
and
judging
it
not
improbable
,
since
they
had
so
good
a
Body
of
Horse
behind
it
,
he
commanded
therefore
that
our
Horse
should
not
unsaddle
,
but
each
Troper
to
lie
all
Night
by
his
Horse's
Head
,
to
be
ready
upon
the
first
Alarm
.
Col.
Donep
,
who
commanded
our
advance
Party
of
Horse
,
was
killed
that
Evening
by
a
random
Shot
;
being
a
Gentleman
who
had
a
very
good
Character
,
both
among
the
Danes
and
English
.
The
26th
all
our
Train
came
up
,
as
also
a
great
many
Carriages
with
Bombs
,
Ball
,
Shovels
and
Pickaxes
,
and
800
Barrels
of
Powder
.
This
Night
we
broke
Ground
,
and
made
our
Approaches
with
no
great
loss
,
casting
up
some
Works
nigh
the
Shannon
towards
the
West
,
behind
which
the
Danes
encamped
,
and
maintained
that
part
of
the
Work
during
the
Siege
.
We
improved
also
these
Forts
deserted
by
the
Irish
,
and
drew
a
new
Line
from
the
old
Church
Fort
to
Mackay's
.
The
27th
in
the
Morning
the
Prince
of
Hess
with
his
The
Prince
of
Hess
sent
to
Castle-Connel
.
own
Regiment
,
Col.
Tiffin's
,
and
Col.
St.
John's
,
five
pieces
of
Cannon
,
and
about
700
Horse
and
Dragoons
,
marched
to
Castle-Connel
,
which
we
had
not
blown
up
effectually
last
Year
,
and
wherein
the
Irish
had
now
a
Garison
of
250
Men.
They
refused
the
Prince's
Proffers
to
them
at
first
;
but
after
two
Days
Siege
,
were
content
to
be
all
made
Prisoners
of
War
.
The
same
Day
Maj.
Gen.
Scravemore
went
with
another
Party
,
and
four
Guns
,
to
Carick-a-Gunnel
,
a
Castle
upon
the
River
,
three
miles
below
the
Town
,
wherein
was
a
Garison
of
150
Men
,
who
also
submitted
to
be
Prisoners
of
War
,
as
did
one
or
two
Castles
more
;
the
leaving
these
Detachments
in
such
places
being
very
inaccountable
,
since
they
had
a
mind
to
defend
them
no
better
.
This
seems
rather
want
of
Instructions
what
to
do
,
than
Courage
to
perform
it
;
for
to
give
the
Irish
their
due
,
they
can
defend
stone
Walls
very
handsomly
.
We
read
that
Sir
George
Carew
,
President
of
Munster
in
Queen
Elizabeth's
Time
,
took
the
Castle
of
Dunboy
in
the
West
of
Ireland
by
Assault
,
where
the
Irish
made
the
most
resolute
Defence
of
any
of
the
like
nature
before
or
since
;
for
the
Garison
being
130
choice
Men
,
were
all
either
killed
or
hanged
for
holding
out
;
and
some
of
them
defended
the
very
Vaults
during
a
whole
Night
,
though
all
the
rest
of
the
Castle
was
taken
;
and
one
Mack
Geoghagan
being
desperately
wounded
,
when
he
saw
the
English
enter
the
Vault
,
he
endeavoured
to
cast
a
lighted
Candle
into
a
Barrel
of
Powder
to
blow
himself
and
them
up
together
;
but
was
prevented
in
his
Design
,
and
so
died
.
The
Irish
planted
two
Field-pieces
on
the
opposite
side
the
River
,
by
which
they
obliged
two
Regiments
of
our
Dragoons
that
lay
close
to
the
Shannon
to
remove
;
but
as
soon
as
we
had
placed
some
Guns
to
flank
their
small
Battery
,
they
drew
off
.
Orders
were
given
to
fit
up
600
Bombs
,
and
1000
Hand-Granades
:
and
in
the
Afternoon
eighteen
of
our
Ships
came
up
the
River
,
within
a
mile
of
the
Town
,
and
fired
some
Shots
into
the
Irish
Our
Ships
come
nigh
the
Town
.
Horse-Camp
as
they
sailed
along
,
they
being
encamped
at
that
time
nigh
the
River
,
at
a
place
called
Craightulagh
:
This
put
several
of
the
Irish
much
out
of
Countenance
,
for
till
then
they
were
made
believe
,
that
either
we
had
no
Ships
in
the
River
,
or
else
those
we
had
would
quickly
be
swallowed
up
by
the
French
Fleet
,
which
they
hourly
expected
.
The
28th
an
Order
was
sent
to
Kinsale
,
for
the
rest
of
the
Provision-Ships
then
in
that
Harbour
to
sail
to
the
Shannon
.
And
the
General
went
on
board
some
of
those
Ships
that
came
up
the
Day
before
,
giving
Command
to
bring
on
shoar
several
Pieces
of
new
Cannon
and
Mortars
;
which
was
performed
on
the
29th
.
And
all
the
Prisoners
that
had
been
taken
in
several
Castles
,
being
about
400
in
number
,
were
sent
towards
Clonmel
,
with
a
Party
of
Horse
and
Dragoons
to
guard
them
.
This
Evening
our
Line
of
Circumvallation
was
finished
,
and
our
other
Works
,
by
hard
labour
,
much
improved
;
the
Enemy
playing
hot
upon
us
from
the
King's
Castle
,
and
three
more
Batteries
.
Our
Business
was
now
to
raise
a
Battery
for
ten
Guns
and
seven
Mortars
,
which
was
performed
before
next
Morning
;
and
August
the
30th
our
Guns
and
Mortars
were
drawn
down
to
it
:
the
first
began
immediately
to
play
on
Thoumond-Bridg
,
and
the
Houses
on
that
side
the
Town
;
at
Night
also
our
Bombs
began
to
fly
with
pretty
good
Success
,
101
being
thrown

next
Morning

Road
between
Cork
and
Limerick
,
whither
the
Irish
flocked
in
great
Numbers
in
former
times
,
to
welcome
the
Earl
of
Desmond
out
of
England
,
who
was
sent
over
upon
some
Reasons
of
State
by
Queen
Elizabeth
;
their
first
Saluations
were
to
throw
Wheat
and
Salt
upon
him
in
token
of
Peace
and
Plenty
:
But
next
day
,
when
they
saw
him
go
to
Church
,
they
fell
to
murmur
,
and
spit
at
him
,
and
never
would
own
him
more
:
And
so
hateful
was
not
only
our
Religion
,
but
even
the
Civil
Habits
and
Customs
of
the
English
to
some
of
them
,
that
in
the
same
Queen's
Reign
it
was
with
much
difficulty
that
some
of
the
Irish
Nobility
could
be
perswaded
to
put
on
their
Robes
,
when
they
were
to
appear
in
the
House
of
Lords
in
time
of
Parliament
.
And
I
have
heard
it
affirmed
by
those
that
knew
it
,
that
even
in
this
last
War
,
and
(
if
I
am
not
much
mistaken
)
in
the
Parliament
that
was
held
at
Dublin
by
the
late
King
too
,
it
was
proposed
by
some
,
to
destroy
all
fine
Houses
,
and
every
thing
else
that
look'd
like
Improvement
,
and
so
return
to
the
former
barbarous
way
of
living
of
their
Ancestors
,
that
it
might
not
be
worth
the
while
for
England
,
or
any
other
Nation
,
to
seek
a
new
Conquest
over
them
:
but
these
Men
did
not
consider
that
England
has
been
at
too
much
Expence
,
and
is
now
too
well
acquainted
with
Ireland
,
ever
to
be
without
it
.

very
hard
all
this
Day
;
and
at
Night
,
four
out
of
each
Troop
of
Horse
and
Dragoons
throughout
the
Army
,
were
ordered
to
work
at
a
new
Battery
,
to
the
Right
of
the
former
,
and
somewhat
nearer
the
Town
;
they
wrought
very
stoutly
,
and
finished
their
Battery
before
next
Morning
.
This
was
a
thing
very
unusual
for
Horsemen
,
especially
to
work
in
Trenches
;
but
there
was
in
a
manner
a
Necessity
for
it
,
for
our
Foot
were
upon
Duty
by
whole
Regiments
every
second
Night
,
beside
Detachments
and
Workmen
upon
sundry
Occasions
every
Day
:
And
therefore
Adjutant
General
Withers
was
commanded
to
order
the
Regiments
that
marched
to
the
Trenches
,
not
to
mount
with
Colours
,
that
the
Enemy
might
not
be
sensible
how
fast
our
Duty
came
upon
us
.
The
same
Day
a
Party
of
four
hundred
Horse
was
Brigadeer
Leveson
sent
into
Kerry
.
sent
abroad
to
scour
the
Country
:
And
Brigadeer
Leveson
,
with
seven
hundred
Horse
and
Dragoons
,
went
into
the
County
of
Kerry
,
to
reduce
the
Irish
in
those
Parts
:
Which
some
of
the
Inhabitants
in
other
Places
will
needs
call
the
most
natural
Irish
in
the
Kingdom
;
and
yet
they
say
,
every
Cow-boy
amongst
them
can
speak
Latin
,
on
purpose
to
save
them
from
the
Gallows
,
when
they
come
afterwards
to
be
tried
for
Theft
:
For
though
there
be
very
severe
Laws
against
it
,
and
often
put
in
Execution
;
yet
Robbing
,
Plundering
or
Stealing
,
are
accounted
but
small
Crimes
amongst
the
Natives
,
if
not
done
to
their
Lords
or
Followers
:
for
what
they
could
purchase
formerly
,
they
thought
it
clear
Gain
,
and
Castles
built
to
secure
it
;
which
thievish
Spirit
is
not
as
yet
quite
banished
that
part
of
the
Country
,
nor
scarce
any
other
part
of
the
Kingdom
.
And
though
this
sort
of
People
have
been
always
observed
to
have
dexterous
Faculties
at
more
kinds
of
Mischiefs
than
Stealing
:
yet
it
's
no
new
Complaint
,
That
by
long
Vse
it
is
grown
to
a
mischievous
Custom
in
Ireland
,
that
Rebels
and
Malefactors
might
,
with
the
Money
they
had
gotten
by
Pillage
and
Plunder
,
when
they
set
Places
on
fire
,
procure
for
themselves
Protections
,
and
escape
without
Punishment
.

Brigadeer
Leveson
,
at
his
going
into
Kerry
,
found
the
whole
Country
up
in
Arms
against
him
;
my
Lord
Merion's
and
my
Lord
Bretta's
Horse
being
there
to
assist
the
Rapparees
.
About
a
Mile
above
Limerick
,
there
lies
a
small
Island
in
the
Shannon
,
called
St.
Thomas's
Island
,
where
formerly
stood
a
Chappel
dedicated
to
that
Saint
,
but
now
ruinous
,
though
at
present
there
are
two
or
three
small
Houses
in
the
Island
,
and
some
little
Inclosures
.
Here
the
Irish
had
kept
several
of
the
Protestants
belonging
to
the
City
,
under
a
Guard
,
for
some
time
past
;
and
now
they
were
released
by
Major
Stroud
,
who
kept
Guard
at
Anighbegg
with
a
Party
of
the
County
of
Cork
Militia
;
the
Irish
Captain
,
and
some
others
of
their
Guard
coming
off
also
with
them
.
But
what
can
be
a
greater
Testimony
of
a
rapacious
Humour
than
this
?
for
some
of
the
Militia
stripp'd
their
Fellow-Protestants
of
what
the
Irish
had
left
them
,
as
they
conducted
them
from
the
Island
to
our
Camp
;
which
I
would
not
have
said
,
but
that
I
had
it
from
the
Mouths
of
those
very
People
that
were
so
served
;
who
during
their
stay
in
Town
with
other
Protestants
of
all
sorts
,
had
shewed
the
greatest
Affection
and
Compassion
imaginable
to
those
of
our
Army
that
were
Prisoners
there
:
but
now
the
Scene
was
altered
;
and
all
the
shift
that
themselves
could
make
for
some
days
,
was
to
make
up
little
Places
to
creep
into
amongst
the
Fascines
that
lay
on
heaps
by
the
General
's
Quarters
,
till
our
Waggons
carried
them
farther
off
into
the
Countrey
.
This
Night
Major
General
Talmash
commanded
in
the
Major
General
Talmash
commands
in
the
Trenches
.
Trenches
,
by
whose
Diligence
and
Example
the
Works
were
run
nearer
,
and
much
strengthned
,
though
the
Enemy
fired
very
briskly
all
Night
,
and
did
us
some
Damage
.
The
Battery
raised
by
the
Troopers
was
also
improved
,
(
lying
between
Nassaw's
Fort
and
the
other
Battery
)
and
eight
Guns
brought
down
to
it
;
but
this
being
judged
also
too
remote
from
the
Town
,
the
Guns
were
never
planted
.
But
it
's
now
time
to
leave
the
Camp
a
little
,
and
look
backwards
to
see
what
was
done
in
other
parts
of
the
Kingdom
during
this
Month
of
August
.
And
first
at
What
hapned
in
other
Parts
of
the
Kingdom
this
Month.
Dublin
,
there
was
great
care
taken
to
procure
as
many
Horses
as
could
be
got
for
the
necessary
Occasions
of
the
Army
.
Provisions
likewise
of
all
sorts
and
Ammunition
were
sent
up
continually
:
and
the
Harvest
being
now
almost
ready
,
and
very
few
Hands
being
left
to
take
care
of
that
Corn
which
the
Irish
had
sown
in
several
places
of
Connaught
,
the
Lords
Justices
therefore
order
a
Proclamation
to
be
published
,
August
the
fourth
;
That
whereas
since
the
Battel
of
Aghrim
,
and
the
Surrender
of
Galway
,
the
Farmers
,
Cottiers
,
and
other
Inhabitants
of
Connaught
,
had
withdrawn
themselves
,
so
that
there
were
not
Hands
sufficient
to
get
in
the
Harvest
;
It
was
therefore
proclaimed
,
That
all
Farmers
,
Cottiers
and
Under-Tenants
following
the
Enemies
Camp
,
that
should
within
fifteen
days
return
to
their
Habitations
in
Connaught
,
and
apply
themselves
to
the
bringing
in
the
Harvest
,
they
should
not
only
quietly
and
peaceably
enjoy
their
several
Farms
as
they
formerly
did
,
&c.
but
should
be
fully
and
absolutely
protected
,
if
not
guilty
of
private
Murder
.
And
that
all
Persons
that
would
mow
the
Grass
,
and
reap
the
Corn
upon
the
Land
of
such
Absentees
as
would
not
return
themselves
,
should
have
one
half
of
such
Corn
and
Hay
to
their
own
proper
Use
,
and
be
protected
in
the
quiet
and
peaceable
Possession
thereof
,
behaving
themselves
as
good
Subjects
,
and
bringing
the
other
half
to
some
convenient
Place
upon
the
Farm
for
the
King's
Service
.
But
how
good
soever
the
Design
might
be
,
I
heard
of
little
Effect
this
Proclamation
had
:
for
several
of
the
Irish
last
Spring
had
plowed
and
sown
their
Lands
in
Connaught
,
hoping
we
would
never
come
thither
;
and
those
that
did
not
plow
,
expected
to
come
over
,
and
get
enough
on
our
side
the
Shannon
:
but
when
they
were
disappointed
in
both
these
,
they
would
yet
go
along
with
the
Crowd
in
hopes
of
returning
again
in
a
small
time
.
And
it
's
observable
that
there
have
not
been
so
many
Marriages
for
many
Years
before
amongst
the
Irish
,
as
was
last
Winter
in
Limerick
,
Galway
,
and
all
Connaught
over
;
whether
it
was
out
of
confidence
that
they
should
certainly
be
Masters
of
the
Kingdom
after
all
,
or
else
that
they
were
crowded
into
a
narrower
Compass
,
and
so
had
the
more
Opportunities
of
Courting
,
I
leave
others
to
judg
.
August
the
fourth
,
Sir
Albert
Cunningham's
Dragoons
being
left
at
Galway
when
the
Army
moved
from
thence
,
march'd
now
to
Portumna
and
Athenree
;
and
a
hundred
Foot
detached
under
Major
Smith
,
to
Loughrea
.
By
Letters
from
Cashell
,
August
5.
the
Government
had
notice
that
great
Heats
and
Debates
arose
daily
amongst
the
great
Officers
in
the
Irish
Army
;
and
that
some
Persons
endeavouring
to
get
off
for
France
,
were
forced
back
again
,
and
the
Ship
taken
,
wherein
the
Goods
belonging
to
Monsieur
Saint
Ruth
,
the
late
General
,
were
on
board
;
and
that
several
Ladies
were
forced
ashore
in
Kerry
,
or
obliged
to
return
to
Limerick
;
and
that
a
Privateer
brought
into
Rye
a
Prize
of
six
Guns
and
six
Patereroes
,
bound
from
Limerick
to
France
,
having
several
Passengers
on
board
;
amongst
the
rest
,
my
Lord
Abercorne
,
who
was
killed
in
the
Fight
,
as
were
several
more
killed
and
wounded
on
both
sides
.
What
Letters
and
other
Papers
they
had
,
could
not
be
recovered
,
for
they
threw
them
over-board
.
Nigh
this
time
Colonel
Mitchelburn
with
his
own
Regiment
,
and
a
Party
of
the

proposed
,
but
not
agreed
to

.
My
Lord

,
some
Irish
Souldiers
that

,
and
afterwards
set
up
for
themselves
,
took
a
Prey
of
Cattle
near
Kinsale
,
and
drove
it
fifteen
Miles
;
but
being
pursued
by
a
Party
of
the
Militia
,
four
of
them
were
killed
,
and
the
Prey
recovered
.
Nigh
the
same
time
a
Dutch
Vessel
loaden
with
Wine
and
Salt
,
came
into
Bantry
Bay
;
and
some
of
O
Donevan's
Men
surprized
her
at
Anchor
:
but
Col.
Beecher
with
four
Boats
,
manned
with
a
Party
of
his
Militia
,
came
about
from
the
Island
of
Shartin
,
and
retook
the
Ship
,
forced
twelve
of
the
Irish
into
the
Sea
,
who
were
drowned
,
and
took
twenty
four
more
of
them

had
got
into
their
Boats
.
August
the
17th
,
one
hundred

the
Governour

and

This
and
the
Isle
of
Arran
lie
some
Leagues
to
Sea
from
the
Mouth
of
the
Bay
of
Galway
;
in
the
former
of
which
there
is
a
strong
Fort
,
with
about
a
dozen
Guns
;
in
both
which
Islands
there
always
have
been
Garisons
kept
.
Nigh
this
time
three
of
the
Militia
were
killed
in
the
Bog
of
Allen
by
Mackabe's
Party
;
and
two
days
after
four
of
the
Rapparees
were
kill'd
,
and
Mackabe
himself
narrowly
escaped
,
with
the
loss
of
two
more
of
his
Men
,
himself
being
forced
to
strip
and
run
cross
the
Bog
.
The
Militia
now
were
very
active
about
the
Bog
of
Allen
,
and
killed
five
more
at
one
time
,
and
ten
in
a
few
days
after
;
amongst
whom
was
the
White
Serjeant
,
which
occasioned
ten
more
of
the
Crew
to
come
in
and
submit
.
We
had
now
an
Account
that
our
Fleet
was
at
Torbay
,
and
the
French
Fleet
at
Brest
;
but
that
ours
had
Orders
to
put
to
Sea
again
in
ten
Days
.
August
the
25th
,
a
thousand
Militia
Foot
,
under
Colonel
Rorger
Moore
,
and
five
hundred
Horse
and
Dragoons
,
with
three
Field-pieces
,
march'd
from
Dublin
towards
Sligoe
,
making
,
with
Detachments
from
other
Counties
,
in
all
five
thousand
Men
,
to
be
commanded
by
the
Earl
of
Granard
,
to
whose
Conduct
the
reducing
of
that
troublesome
Fort
was
now
committed
.
And
towards
the
latter
end
of
August
,
some
Rapparees
stealing
Cows
nigh
Cork
,
six
of
them
were
kill'd
,
and
four
executed
;
two
more
were
hanged
at
Carlow
by
Sir
Thomas
Butler's
Orders
,
and
one
of
Mackabe's
Servants
kill'd
:
and
thus
ended
the

and

upon

;

Gen.

commands
in

A
little
after
our
Guards
were
relieved
,
we
understood
the
Irish
designed
a
Salley
;
in
order
to
which
,
a
considerable
Body
of
their
Men
advanced
towards
our
Works
,
between
Nassau's
Fort

Battery

Earl
of

perceived

and
therefore
ordered
his

not
to

till
they
should
advance
within

of
us
,

then
to
give
them

further
,
though
they
had
then
a
very
good
Opportunity
,
since
there
was
but
one
Regiment
at
that
time
to
defend
above
300
Yards
of
the
Works
.
We
had
one
Man

were

,
for

LYMRICK
A
Council
of
War
was
this
day
held
,
and
also
a
Court
Martial
,
whereof
the
Earl
of
Drogheda
was
President
;
at
which
,
amongst
other
things
,
a
Woman
was
condemned
for
endeavouring
to
intice
some
of
our
French
Souldiers
into
Town
,
whom
she
took
to
be
Roman
Catholicks
.
This
Evening
two
great
Mortars
,
18
Inches
and
an
half
Diameter
,
that
were
brought
from
Ship-board
,
were
mounted
,
and
several
Bombs
thrown
;
but
they
did
not
do
the
hoped-for
Execution
:
which
occasioned
the
drawing
them
and
the
Guns
off
from
the
Batteries
,
with
a
design
to
attempt
something
elsewhere
,
or
,
if
it
could
be
,
to
pass
the
River
:
which
the
Enemy
having

notice
of
,
they
removed
their
Horse-Camp
about
two
Miles
to
the
North-East
of
Limerick
,
posting
four
Regiments
of
Dragoons
to
guard
the
Shannon
below
Anighbegg
,
where
they
had
three
Regiments
of
Foot
lay
intrenched
.
The
Cannon
however
had
been
so
troublesom
to
the
Inhabitants
,
that
most
of
them
left
the
Town
,
and
encamp'd
under
Sheets
and
Blankets
,
with
what
else
they
could
procure
,
nigh
a
Party
of
their
Horse
,
where
they
and
their
Army
wanted
nothing
so
much
as
Salt
.
The
General
seeing
the
Enemies
Camp
removed
,
went
to
a
convenient
Place
to
view
them
.
The
third
,
the
Guns
and
Mortars
put
on
board
,
were
again
unshipp'd
,
(
upon
new
Measures
being
taken
)
and
brought
up
to
the
Artillery-Ground
.
One
of
Col.
Nugent's
Dragoons
deserted
from
the
Enemy
,
leaving
them
the
Night
before
,
and
says
that
17
Regiments
of
Horse
and
Dragoons
belonging
to
their
Army
,
were
most
of
them
at
that
time
beyond
the
River
,
but
neither
well
equipp'd
nor
clad
,
nor
were
the
Regiments
nigh
full
.
The
4th
,
Lieut.
Col.
Peck
with
the
Princess
Ann's
Regiment
,
came
to
the
Camp
:
and
in
the
Evening
a
Party
of
300
Horse
and
Dragoons
were
sent
to
reinforce
Brigadeer
Leveson
:
and
some
Reports
there
were
that
he
was
surrounded
by
the
Enemy
;
upon
which
the
General
sent
to
him
to
return
:
but
it
proved
only
a
Prey
of
Cows
that
the
Enemy
had
taken
from
some
of
the
Countrey-People
,
who
had
bought
them
from
the
Brigadeer's
Party
at
the
Rout
they
gave
the
Irish
.
However
,
the
Brigadeer
had
Orders
afterwards
to
secure
the
County
of
Kerry
,
and
to
endeavour
the
reducing
the
Enemies
Garisons
there
,
six
Guns
being
ordered
for
that
Service
.
For
the
Enemies
keeping
some
small
Garisons
between
our
Camp
and
Cork
,
was
a
great
Disadvantage
to
us
in
point
of
Provisions
,
which
otherwise
we
might
have
expected
Plenty
of
from
that
part
of
the
Countrey
.
The
Duke
of
Wyrtemberg
(
as
't
is
said
)
by
the
Advice
of
my
Lord
Castle-connel
,
who
was
come
to
our
Camp
,
had
A
new
Battery
contrived
nigh
the
Kings
Island
now
found
out
a
Place
for
a
new
Battery
,
nigh
the
King's
Island
,
on
the
River-side
,
which
was
thought
nearer
the
Town
than
the
former
,
and
from
whence
we
could
batter
the
English
Town
more
effectually
.
This
Place
in
our
publick
Accounts
was
said
to
be
within
Carbine
shot
of
the
Wall
,
and
yet
it
was
at
least
300
Yards
from
it
.
Nor
was
there
any
Conveniency
to
raise
a
Battery
any
nearer
against
this
part
of
the
Town
,
by
reason
of
the
River
to
the
Right
,
and
a
low
Morass
Ground
on
the
Front
.
But
some
Disputes
about
this
new
Battery
were
raised
before
it self
,
though
at
last
it
was
concluded
on
;
and
several
Regiments
both
of
Horse
and
Foot
were
ordered
to
move
towards
the
Right
,
as
well
for
the
security
of
our
Battery
,
as
to
front
the
Irish
Army
who
were
gone
that
way
before
us
.
We
were
at
work
also
very
hard
upon
a
Line
of
Contravallation
,
raising
three
or
four
new
Forts
between
the
old
Church
and
the
King's
Island
,
to
secure
the
remaining
part
of
our
Army
,
in
case
some
of
them
should
be
commanded
over
the
River
.
September
the
5th
,
in
the
Evening
we
begun
to
work
The
Battery
begun
.
at
our
new
Battery
.
At
first
the
Enemy
did
not
discover
us
;
but
after
some
time
the
Moon
shining
very
bright
,
they
found
us
out
,
and
fired
both
great
and
small
Shot
very
lavishly
,
killing
five
or
six
;
but
still
the
rest
went
on
bravely
with
their
Work
,
and
had
soon
brought
it
into
such
a
Condition
as
to
secure
themselves
.
The
6th
,
one
Barnwell
deserted
the
Enemy
,
and
tells
us
they
seem
resolved
to
defend
the
Town
,
which
they
might
do
,
except
we
passed
the
River
,
having
all
the
County
of
Clare
open
to
go
out
and
in
at
pleasure
.
Our
Men
work
still
at
the
Battery
,
which
being
designed
for
a
great
many
Guns
,
it
could
not
be
finished
in
one
Night
,
tho
the
Rain
did
us
some
Damage
.
This
Night
some
Townsmen
swam
over
the
River
,
and
confirm
the
Account
given
by
Barnwell
the
day
before
,
that
the
Irish
resolve
not
to
give
us
the
Town
except
we
pass
the
River
,
since
they
had
a
free
Passage
to
bring
in
and
take
out
what
they
pleased
:
and
amongst
other
things
,
they
had
forty
Chirurgions
Chests
that
landed
from
France
in
Kerry
,
which
were
conveyed
cross
the
River
,
and
so
into
Town
at
Thoumond
Gate
.
They
informed
us
also
that
most
of
the
Towns-people
having
left
it
,
and
the
Souldiers
lying
continually
in
the
Works
,
our
Bombs
did
not
do
that
Execution
that
was
hoped
for
:
but
that
upon
whatever
House
a
Bomb
fell
,
the
Irish
Souldiers
presently
rushed
in
and
plundered
it
.
And
tho
the
Weather
seemed
to
threaten
us
,
yet
this
was
no
great
Discouragement
;
since
if
it
came
to
the
worst
,
we
had
now
our
Ships
in
the
River
,
and
could
at
any
time
put
our
Guns
on
board
,
which
Conveniency
we
wanted
the
Year
before
.
The
General
had
now
an
Account
from
Brigadeer
Leveson
out
of
Kerry
,
that
the
Enemy
according
to
their
usual
way
of
destroying
,
had
burnt
Tralee
;
and
that
he
had
secured
two
of
the
Irish
Captains
that
were
active
in
that
Affair
:
upon
which
he
sent
the
following
Answer
.
Camp
at
Limerick
,
Sept.
6.
1691.
SIR
,
SInce
my
last
to
you
I
have
received
your
Letter
of
the
and
notwithstanding
what
I
writ
about
your
returning
to
the
Camp
,
I
now
desire
you
will
stay
with
your
Detachment
in
Kerry
for
the
Safety
of
that
Countrey
,
and
secure
your self
there
as
well
as
you
can
.
I
have
sent
you
the
Princess
of
Denmark
's
Regiment
,
to
be
disposed
of
as
you
shall
judg
best
.
As
for
those
two
Captains
that
burnt
Tralee
,
I
would
have
them
both
hanged
if
they
cannot
produce
Major
General
Sarsfield
's
,
or
the
Orders
of
the
Commander
in
Chief
for
what
they
did
:
and
then
I
desire
you
'll
respite
their
Execution
till
you
send
me
a
Particular
of
their
Case
.
To
Brigadeer
Leveson
.
Bar.
de
Ginckell
.
September
the
7th
,
this
Letter
was
sent
the
Brigadeer
(
then
encamp'd
at
Lixnaw
)
by
Capt.
William
Fitz-Maurice
,
of
the
Earl
of
Drogheda's
Regiment
,
and
Son
to
the
Lord
of
Kerry
,
who
this
Morning
left
the
Camp
,
with
about
twenty
or
thirty
of
that
Country-Gentlemen
in
his
Company
,
having
also
an
Order
for
a
Guard
of
Horse
and
Dragoons
from
Asketon
.
But
next
Day
coming
to
Listoell
,
within
five
Miles
of
the
Brigadeer's
Party
,
one
of
the
Enemies
Dragoons
mistaking
them
for
a
Party
of
their
own
Men
,
came
hastily
up
and
told
them
,
he
was
at
first
afraid
they
had
been
English
,
but
that
my
Lord
Merion's
,
my
Lord
Britta's
,
Sir
Maurice
Eustace
,
Sir
James
Cotter's
Dragoons
,
with
a
Body
of
between
3
and
4000
Irish
,
lay
behind
the
Hill
;
this
Fellow
they
immediately
shot
for
his
pains
,
and
sent
to
give
the
Brigadeer
notice
of
their
Danger
,
making
all
convenient
haste
towards
Lixnaw
:
But
the
Enemy
soon
had
notice
of
them
,
and
drew
out
several
Parties
to
intercept
their
Passage
;
our
Men
however
,
with
some
difficulty
,
gained
a
Pass
:
and
yet
the
Irish
ordered
the
matter
so
,
as
to
be
in
a
fair
way
to
destroy
them
all
,
had
not
the
Brigadeer
appeared
with
a
Party
in
the
mean
time
;
for
having
received
an
Account
that
the
Irish
were
got
into
a
Body
in
such
a
place
,
he
was
going
then
with
a
Party
to
discover
them
,
not
knowing
the
Danger
our
own
Men
were
in
.
Upon
the
Brigadeer's
approach
,
when
our
Men
understood
who
it
was
,
they
gave
a
Huzzah
:
At
which
the
Irish
began
to
draw
off
;
and
being
in
great
Confusion
,
by
reason
of
their
eager
haste
to
pursue
our
small
Party
,
the
Brigadeer
fell
upon
them
in
that
posture
,
and
killed
about
thirty
,
taking
Lieut.
Col.
O
Ryan
,
and
about
thirty
more
Prisoners
,
the
rest
making
too
great
haste
to
the
Woods
and
Bogs
to
be
overtaken
.
Our
Party
then
went
to
the
place
where
the
Irish
Camp
had
been
,
and
found
two
Barrels
of
Powder
,
with
a
great
deal
of
other
Luggage
,
left
behind
.
At
Limerick
the
Enemy
fired
very
briskly
upon
us
all
that
day
,
with
eight
Guns
which
they
had
planted
in
the
King's
Island
,
and
other
places
:
However
we
finished
the
Platform
of
the
great
Battery
,
and
the
flooring
for
the
Mortars
.
September
the
8th
,
our
new
Batteries
were
all
ready
;
one
to
the
left
of
ten
Field-pieces
,
to
shoot
red
hot
Ball
;
another
to
the
right
,
of
25
Guns
,
all
24
and
18
Pounders
;
The
Batteries
finished
,
and
play
upon
the
Town
.
and
in
the
Center
were
placed
eight
Mortars
,
from
18
Inches
3
quarters
,
to
10
½
Diameter
:
these
stood
altogether
upon
the
North-east
of
the
Town
nigh
the
Island
:
then
there
were
8
Guns
of
12
pound
Ball
each
,
planted
at
Mackay's
Fort
;
and
some
also
towards
the
River
on
the
South-west
,
where
the
Danes
were
posted
:
Those
fell
to
work
all
at
a
time
,
and
put
the
Irish
into
such
a
fright
,
that
a
great
many
of
them
wish'd
themselves
in
another
place
,
having
never
heard
such
a
Noise
before
,
nor
I
hope
never
shall
in
that
Kingdom
.
One
of
the
great
Mortars
had
a
Shell
burst
in
her
,
flinging
the
Mortar
and
Carriage
nigh
two
yards
from
the
flooring
;
which
is
demonstration
,
that
the
firing
the
Fuse
before
you
give
fire
to
the
Mortar
,
is
neither
the
readiest
nor
the
safest
way
;
but
this
was
the
method
of
all
our
Foreign
Bombardeers
:
tho
one
Lieut.
Brown
,
afterwards
at
Mackay's
Fort
,
made
use
of
a
much
better
way
,
as
shall
in
time
be
related
.
We
threw
Bombs
,
Fire-balls
and
Carcasses
all
day
long
,
and
our
Guns
were
discharged
almost
without
ceasing
;
by
which
there
appeared
a
considerable
Breach
in
the
Wall
,
within
the
King's
Island
,
between
A
Breach
made
the
Abbey
and
Ball's
Bridg
;
and
our
Bombs
,
Fire-balls
and
Carcasses
,
had
the
like
success
upon
the
Houses
in
Town
.
The
9th
more
Provision-Ships
are
ordered
from
Cork
,
under
the
Smirna-Merchant
.
We
improved
our
Forts
between
the
old
Church
and
our
great
Battery
;
and
our
Guns
fire
all
day
at
the
Breach
,
by
which
it
was
widened
to
a
great
Degree
,
and
also
a
great
many
Houses
beat
down
:
we
dismounted
also
two
Guns
from
a
Spur
in
the
King's
Island
nigh
Balls-Bridg
,
and
play'd
from
Mackay's
Fort
upon
four
Guns
more
that
disturbed
us
,
from
a
Place
where
their
black
Battery
was
the
Year
before
.
The
Enemy
had
cast
up
a
Blind
to
prevent
our
beating
down
Balls-Bridg
,
but
as
our
Battery
was
planted
,
the
Blind
was
ineffectual
,
though
we
did
not
mind
the
Bridg
much
on
that
Side
.
A
great
many
Bombs
and
Carcasses
were
thrown
into
Town
,
which
set
it
on
fire
;
and
we
understood
afterwards
that
several
People
were
killed
in
the
indeavouring
to
quench
it
.
That
Morning
all
the
empty
Casks
in
the
Army
were
ordered
to
be
taken
up
and
carried
to
the
Artillery
,
where
they
were
to
be
made
use
of
when
there
was
occasion
for
Floats
.
The
Enemy
that
Afternoon
made
a
Pretence
of
sallying
;
and
some
of
them
came
out
to
secure
a
Ditch
not
far
from
our
Battery
,
but
were
soon
repulsed
,
and
several
of
them
killed
,
with
the
Loss
of
one
Granadeer
on
our
Side
.
There
was
also
a
Work
begun
close
to
the
River-Side
,
adjoining
to
the
Island
,
but
the
Spring-Tide
over-flow'd
it
next
Day
.
Though
several
Woolsacks
were
carried
down
in
order
to
make
an
Attack
Some
thoughts
of
storming
it
.
upon
the
Island
,
and
from
thence
upon
the
Breach
;
but
this
being
found
difficult
,
the
Woolsacks
were
left
with
a
Sentinel
upon
them
at
Night
;
which
the
Irish
perceiving
,
some
of
them
came
over
the
River
in
the
Night
in
Cots
,
and
burnt
several
of
the
Woolsacks
,
the
Sentinel
looking
on
,
and
alledging
for
an
Excuse
,
That
he
had
no
Orders
to
fire
.
The
General
gave
Command
to
draw
off
the
Guns
from
Mackay's
Fort
,
to
some
more
convenient
Place
:
But
Colonel
Wythers
,
Adjutant
General
,
informing
him
what
Execution
some
that
were
planted
there
did
in
the
Town
the
Year
before
,
he
ordered
them
to
continue
firing
,
which
they
did
to
very
good
purpose
.
Sept.
10.
There
was
an
Order
for
a
Pinnace
and
its
Crew
to
attend
Francis
Burton
Esq
who
made
several
Journeys
into
the
County
of
Clare
,
and
had
so
ordered
the
Matter
,
that
Clare-Castle
was
to
be
delivered
up
to
us
,
though
for
some
Reasons
the
General
neglected
the
Opportunity
till
it
was
included
in
the
General
Capitulation
.
In
the
Morning
one
Capt.
Dobbin
,
a
Quartermaster
,
and
Serjeant
,
desert
the
Enemy
,
and
told
us
,
that
the
Bombs
did
great
Execution
in
the
Town
,
and
had
killed
several
:
Our
Guns
fire
very
hard
all
that
Day
,
and
in
the
Evening
a
Bomb
fell
into
a
store
of
Wine
,
Brandy
,
Oats
and
Bisket
,
spoiling
a
great
part
of
it
.
The
Town
was
also
set
on
fire
in
several
Places
,
which
burnt
great
part
of
the
Night
:
And
that
Evening
two
Mortars
were
brought
from
on
Board
,
and
planted
at
Mackay's
Fort
,
being
managed
by
Lieutenant
Brown
,
Lieutenant
Lieuten
.
Brown
our
best
Bombardeer
.
to
Capt.
Pitts
Miners
,
who
did
more
Execution
than
all
the
rest
,
firing
three
for
one
of
theirs
,
and
throwing
the
Bombs
very
exact
;
he
neither
made
use
of
Sand
upon
the
Bomb
,
nor
fired
the
Fuse
;
but
putting
it
into
the
Mortar
with
the
Fuse
down
,
the
Flash
of
the
Powder
kindled
the
Fuse
as
it
was
discharged
from
the
Mortar
.
Colonel
Wythers
was
sent
by
Sea
,
and
Robert
Powley
Esq
by
Land
,
to
hasten
up
our
Fleet
,
which
we
understood
was
at
Cork
,
the
General
having
some
Accounts
that
the
French
designed
to
relieve
the
Town
.
On
the
11th
the
Breach
was
widened
at
least
forty
Paces
;
and
Floats
being
prepared
,
there
were
great
Debates
amongst
the
chief
Officers
whether
it
should
be
attempted
by
Storm
,
(
tho
most
say
it
was
only
designed
at
first
for
the
more
conveniency
of
battering
the
Town
;
)
Deserters
telling
us
of
a
great
Ditch
without
the
Wall
,
always
full
of
Water
,
and
well
pallisado'd
,
besides
several
Works
within
,
which
would
have
rendred
the
Attempt
very
hazardous
:
but
afterwards
we
found
little
Truth
in
this
,
though
indeed
we
could
not
do
the
Enemy
a
greater
Pleasure
,
nor
our selves
a
greater
Prejudice
in
all
Probability
,
than
in
seeking
to
carry
the
Town
by
a
Breach
,
before
those
within
were
more
humbled
,
either
by
Sword
or
Sickness
:
for
we
understood
certainly
that
they
had
as
many
Men
within
as
we
without
;
besides
the
Hazard
in
getting
into
,
or
keeping
the
King's
Island
,
where
there
stood
a
most
excellent
Fort
with
a
double
Line
of
Communication
from
thence
to
the
Town
,
mann'd
for
the
most
part
by
the
best
of
their
Dragoons
dismounted
.
Part
of
the
Guns
however
were
drawn
off
from
Ireton's
Fort
to
a
new
Battery
,
which
was
to
the
Right
of
the
great
one
;
and
some
planted
nigh
St.
Thomas's
Island
,
to
cut
off
the
Irish
Communication
Guns
planted
near
St.
Thomas's
Island
.
by
a
large
Causey
that
led
that
way
towards
the
Town
.
Five
Deserters
came
off
,
who
tell
us
of
some
Officers
killed
upon
the
Key
by
a
Bomb
;
that
they
had
only
two
Tuns
of
Powder
in
Town
,
and
that
their
Stores
were
a
great
part
of
them
buried
in
Ruines
.
Some
of
Sir
Albert
Cunningham's
Officers
gave
the
General
an
Account
from
Lieutenant
Colonel
Ecklin
,
that
Sir
Albert
was
killed
by
a
Party
of
the
Irish
at
Colloony
,
nigh
Sligoe
,
where
they
surprized
him
in
the
Morning
early
,
most
of
his
Dragoons
shifting
for
themselves
;
and
Balderock
O
Donnel
,
who
then
had
joined
him
,
very
hardly
making
his
Escape
:
But
the
English
Pacquets
brought
us
better
News
of
the
Turkish
Army's
being
defeated
in
Hungary
,
and
a
great
many
Thousands
slain
.
The
12th
most
of
our
Guns
and
Bombs
are
directed
The
Cannon
and
Bombs
fire
at
the
Cathedral
.
towards
the
great
Church
in
the
midst
of
the
English
Town
,
because
we
understood
that
it
was
made
their
principal
Store
;
and
four
Deserters
tell
us
what
great
Damage
was
already
done
in
all
Places
of
the
Town
.
But
the
Irish
continuing
obstinate
,
and
the
indeavouring
to
reduce
the
Town
by
Force
with
such
a
little
Army
as
we
had
seeming
dangerous
,
considering
the
very
great
Strength
of
their
Works
which
were
still
intire
,
though
the
Town
was
much
shattered
;
those
and
other
Reasons
were
like
to
render
it
a
Work
of
longer
time
than
at
first
we
hoped
for
,
and
the
Winter
now
drawing
on
apace
;
therefore
Orders
were
given
to
fit
up
Killmallock
for
a
Place
of
Stores
.
And
,
On
the
13th
the
General
sent
Colonel
Earl
into
England
,
Col.
Earl
sent
into
England
.
to
acquaint
her
Majesty
with
the
present
Circumstances
of
Affairs
;
that
if
we
should
not
take
the
Town
this
Season
,
it
would
be
absolutely
necessary
to
send
more
Frigats
,
in
order
to
block
up
the
River
Shannon
,
since
Capt.
Cole
that
commanded
,
and
other
Marine
Officers
then
in
the
River
,
had
given
it
under
their
Hands
,
that
they
could
post
twenty
Frigats
so
advantageously
towards
the
Mouth
of
the
River
,
under
some
Islands
,
that
they
should
be
able
to
live
all
Winter
,
and
keep
off
twice
the
Number
,
if
any
Attempt
should
be
made
by
the
French
towards
the
Relief
of
the
Town
;
and
that
in
the
mean
time
the
Army
was
to
make
as
nigh
a
Blockade
as
they
could
.
This
was
but
melancholy
News
to
both
Officers
and
Souldiers
,
who
were
all
willing
to
undergo
any
Hardships
rather
than
go
away
without
being
Masters
of
the
Place
.
The
14th
some
Dragoons
with
an
Officer
desert
the
Enemy
;
a
Sergeant
of
theirs
gave
us
notice
where
their
Ammunition
lay
,
and
our
Guns
fire
very
hard
all
Day
at
the
Place
,
the
General
and
all
the
great
Officers
continuing
the
whole
Afternoon
at
the
Battery
,
and
were
very
well
pleased
to
see
a
Bomb
blow
up
some
part
of
their
Powder
.
At
Night
our
Works
were
double
mann'd
,
and
our
great
Guns
beginning
to
the
right
,
the
whole
Line
made
three
running
Fires
,
which
were
seconded
by
as
many
from
several
Regiments
both
of
Horse
and
Foot
,
drawn
up
at
the
Heads
of
their
respective
Camps
:
this
was

Joy

against

;
but
it
alarm'd
the
Irish
,
who
stood
at
their
Arms
all
the
Night
,
being
much
puzzled
to
know
the
meaning
of
it
;
some
saying
that
our
Fleet
had
beat
the
French
;
and
others
,
that
it
was
only
for
a
Blind
at
our
going
off
;
and
every
one
as
they
fancied
.
Orders
were
now
given
for
the
demolishing
Castle-connel
,
Carick
a
Gunnell
,
and
other
Places
upon
the
Shannon
;
and
several
Miners
were
at
work
upon
them
.
The
fifteenth
,
the
Finnan
Regiment
of
Green
Danes
march
towards
Clonmell
,
in
order
to
go
to
Waterford
;
and
most
of
our
Guns
were
drawn
off
from
the
Batteries
as
a
Blind
,
to
a
Design
at
Night
;
being
a

many
Men
at

all

.
That
Afternoon
my
Lord
Lisburn
then
upon
Duty
with
his

,
to
the
Left
of
the
Great
Battery
,
his
Lordship
having
laid
down
to
rest

just
in

,
and
who
had
shewed
himself
very
diligent
and
forward
upon
all
Occasions
,
since
the
beginning
of
this
War
.
In
the
Evening
it
was
ordered
that
four
hundred
Granadeers
,
A
Party
ordered
to
march
over
the
River
.
so
soon
as
't
was
dark
,
should
parade
at
the
Head
of
Major
General
Kirk's
Regiment
,
from
whence
they
marched
about
nine
at
Night
,
being
joined
with
six
hundred
Workmen
,
with
the
Tin-boats
,
and
sustained
with
five
Regiments
of
Foot
commanded
by
Major
General
Talmash
,
and
a
Body
of
Horse
and
Dragoons
under
Major
General
Scravemore
,
with
six
Field-pieces
.
Those
all
march
to
a
Place
of
the
Shannon
about
two
Miles
above
our
Camp
,
and
by
twelve
at
Night
begin
to
lay
the
Boats
over
.
In
the
mean
time
the
Granadeers
commanded
by
Sir
David
Collier
,
with
Capt.
Ketchmay
of
Sir
John
Hanmer's
,
Captain
Alnut
of
my
Lord
Drogheda's
,
Captain
Parker
of
Colonel
Gustavus
Hamilton's
Regiment
,
another
Captain
,
and
eight
more
Officers
,
were
wafted
over
by
the
Tin-boats
into
an
Island
where
the
Bridg
was
laying
,
and
from
whence
it
was
fordable
to
the
other
side
,
beating
some
few
Straglers
of
the
Enemy
from
thence
,
who
now
and
then
fired
at
the
Workmen
,
but
with
little
or
no
Loss
to
us
;
for
the
Night
being
very
dark
,
and
the
Enemy
secure
,
because
they
judged
us
going
off
,
the
Bridg
was
almost
compleated
before
they
suspected
it
.
The
16th
at
Day-light
our
Bridg
was
finished
;
and
A
Bridg
laid
,
and
our
Men
pass
over
it
.
Colonel
Matthew's
Dragoons
beginning
to
pass
into
the
Island
:
by
which
time
Brigadeer
Clifford
had
got
the
Alarm
,
who
was
not
far
off
with
four
Regiments
of
Dragoons
;
he
seemed
not
very
forward
in
the
Matter
,
tho
his
Dragoons
came
down
on
foot
,
and
pretended
to
make
some
Opposition
,
as
did
also
a
Body
of
the
Enemies
Foot
,
being
about
four
or
five
thin
Regiments
,
who
advanced
towards
the
Ford
,
when
Major
General
Talmash
immediately
commanded
the
Granadeers
to
wade
thrô
:
which
done
,
they
possess'd
themselves
of
an
old
House
,
and
an
Hedg
or
two
,
about
an
hundred
Yards
from
the
Enemy
;
and
were
commanded
not
to
be
lavish
of
their
Shot
,
but
receive
the
Enemies
Fire
till
our
Dragoons
and
some
Horse
were
got
over
,
which
were
passing
.
Then
the
Enemy
endeavouring
to
flank
our
Granadeers
on
the
Right
,
the
Major
General
commanded
a
Detachment
of
Colonel
Matthews's
Dragoons
to
beat
them
from
that
Post
:
which
being
done
,
and
a
good
Party
soon
got
over
,
Major
General
Talmash
ordered
the
Granadeers
to
advance
,
being
sustained
by
a
Regiment
of
Foot
commanded
by
Colonel
Tiffin
and
Lieutenant
Colonel
Bristow
,
a
Party
of
Dragoons
,
and
a
Party
of
Colonel
Coys's
Horse
.
This
was
done
;
and
after
some
faint
Resistance
the
Enemy
run
towards
a
large
Bog
,
and
a
Wood
that
was
in
their
Rear
,
throwing
away
their
Granadoes
,
Muskets
,
and
every
thing
that
proved
troublesom
:
our
Men
pursued
them
,
and
killed
several
upon
the
Bog
,
taking
a
French
Lieutenant
Colonel
,
a
Captain
and
some
more
Prisoners
.
Our
advance-Party
received
Orders
to
halt
till
all
were
got
over
,
and
then
march'd
to
the
Left
up
towards
the
Enemies
Camp
.
But
by
this
time
the
News
of
our
passing
the
River
was
got
to
their
Horse
,
and
also
towards
the
Town
,
both
Parties
providing
for
their
Safeties
as
well
as
they
could
:
for
the
People
that
were
encamp'd
without
,
endeavoured
to
get
into
Town
;
but
those
within
drew
up
the
Bridg
,
and
would
not
admit
them
;
and
it
's
almost
incredible
what
a
Noise
and
Confusion
there
was
then
at
Thoumond
Gate
:
their
Horse
tho
begin
to
buckle
to
Arms
,
and
made
a
shew
of
fighting
,
which
was
only
to
gain
time
to
secure
their
Tents
and
Baggage
;
and
their
Dragoons
having
their
Horses
two
Miles
off
at
Grass
,
were
forced
to
shift
for
themselves
.
Our
Horse
expected
Orders
to
pursue
them
;
but
they
were
commanded
by
the
General
and
Lieut.
Gen.
Scravemore
,
who
were
now
come
up
,
to
halt
till
a
greater
Body
advanced
to
sustain
them
.
Some
of
the
Irish
were
now
pulling
down
their
The
Irish
in
a
great
Consternation
.
Tents
,
others
driving
away
the
Cattle
,
and
every
one
in
a
Hurry
making
what
haste
they
could
towards
the
Mountains
;
and
then
the
General
ordered
our
Men
to
advance
towards
their
Horse-Camp
,
where
they
found
Brandy
,
Beef
,
and
a
great
many
other
things
:
And
a
Party
of
our
Granadeers
met
with
about
three
hundred
Dragoon
Saddles
and
other
Accoutrements
,
which
they
burnt
by
Order
.
We
did
not
pursue
however
for
fear
of
an
Ambuscade
,
but
sent
to
observe
the
Enemies
March
.
The
Irish
also
nigh
the
Town
were
very
busy
in
breaking
down
two
small
Bridges
cross
a
Causey
,
leading
to
the
Town
;
but
the
firing
of
two
of
our
Field-pieces
put
a
stop
to
their
Proceedings
in
that
Place
.
There
is
a
small
white
House
about
half
a
Mile
from
the
Town
on
Thoumond
side
,
nigh
which
two
Squadrons
of
the
Enemies
Horse
were
drawn
up
,
and
about
a
Regiment
of
Foot
posted
in
the
Hedges
,
to
secure
their
Lords
Justices
,
the
Records
,
all
their
chief
Ladies
and
Treasure
,
which
all
were
there
,
and
had
been
as
then
no
difficult
,
though
a
very
good
Prize
.
But
after
some
of
our
Parties
had
seen
them
go
off
in
the
greatest
Confusion
that
could
be
,
we
set
two
or
three
Houses
on
fire
:
and
staying
on
that
side
till
about
two
a
Clock
in
the
Afternoon
,
we
had
Orders
to
return
,
leaving
a
Guard
in
a
Fort
newly
cast
up
on
the
other
side
,
to
secure
our
Bridg
;
whenas
it
's
not
improbable
,
had
we
pursued
our
good
Fortune
,
the
Irish
Horse
had
been
routed
,
and
the
Town
delivered
upon
our
own
Terms
.
The
Irish
had
still
a
small
Garison
in
S.
Thomas's
Island
,
which
now
submitted
,
where
we
got
two
pretty
small
Brass
Field-pieces
.
There
was
also
an
Ensign
with
twenty
Men
in
a
Castle
,
in
the
midst
of
the
River
,
a
little
below
the
Island
,
who
were
made
Prisoners
:
This
is
The
Castle
on
the
Wier
taken
.
called
the
Wier
Castle
,
because
it
stands
on
a
Salmon
Wier
.
In
the
former
Wars
the
Irish
had
a
Garison
here
also
,
who
deserting
the
Place
,
betook
themselves
to
the
River
:
but
being
shot
at
,
part
of
them
came
on
shoar
towards
the
West
,
who
had
Quarter
promised
them
by
a
Captain
in
Colonel
Tuthill's
Regiment
,
and
yet
were
stripp'd
and
killed
by
the
Colonel's
Orders
,
who
was
tried
and
cashiered
for
it
;
but
the
rest
coming
a-shore
on
the
East
,
where
Colonel
Inglesby
was
,
had
better
Treatment
,
and
sent
to
the
Town
,
Ireton
being
very
angry
at
the
others
Breach
of
Faith
.
We
had
only
one
Serjeant
killed
in
all
this
Day
's
Adventure
,
and
about
twenty
Men
wounded
,
and
the
Enemy
lost
not
above
fifteen
or
twenty

most

says
the
Besieged
had
not
above
ten
Days
Bread
,
and
that
our
Bombs
had
destroyed
a
great
part
of

Ammunition
.
And
that
nothing
might
be
left
unattempted
,
to
shew
their

Clemency
,
the
Government
's
Lenity
,
and
the
General
's
generous
Compassion
towards
the
Irish
,
he
orders
the
following
Declaration
to
be
sent
them
.
By
Lieutenant
General
Ginckell
,
Commander
in
Chief
of
their
Majesties
Forces
.
ALthough
their
Majesties
have
already
been
more
gracious
than
could
be
expected
,
or
the
Behaviour
of
the
Irish
has
deserved
,
yet
to
leave
no
means
untried
that
may
bring
them
to
a
Sense
of
their
Interest
and
Duty
,
and
this
Kingdom
to
that
quiet
and
settled
Condition
it
formerly
enjoyed
,
they
have
been
pleased
to
impower
me
to
assure
the
Enemies
Army
,
and
the
Garison
and
Inhabitants
of
Limerick
,
that
if
within
eight
Days
from
the
Date
hereof
,
they
shall
surrender
and
submit
themselves
to
their
Majesties
Obedience
,
they
shall
have
that
Pardon
of
their
Offences
,
Restitution
of
their
Estates
,
and
Reward
of
their
Services
,
and
all
the
Benefits
promised
by
the
Lords
Justices
in
their
Proclamation
of
the
7th
of
July
last
,
from
which
they
are
not
debarred
by
any
Act
of
Parliament
,
as
they
are
falsly
made
to
believe
by
some
Persons
who
live
by
sacrificing
their
Country
to
the
Tyranny
and
Ambition
of
France
,
and
ought
for
that
reason
to
be
excluded
from
Mercy
by
both
Sides
:
But
if
they
shall
still
continue
obstinate
,
and
neglect
to
lay
hold
on
this
Favour
,
which
is
the
last
that
will
be
offered
them
,
they
must
be
answerable
for
the
Blood
and
Destruction
they
draw
upon
themselves
;
for
I
hereby
acquit
my self
before
God
and
the
World
,
and
wash
my
Hands
of
it
.
Given
at
the
Camp
before
Limerick
this
16th
Day
of
September
,
1691.
On
the
17th
a
Council
of
War
was
held
,
wherein
it
Disputed
whether
the
Siege
continued
,
or
a
Blockade
.
was
hotly
disputed
,
whether
we
should
go
on
with
the
Siege
,
or
march
over
the
River
and
destroy
all
the
Enemies
Forage
in
the
County
of
Clare
,
and
then
make
a
Blockade
;
and
it
was
so
far
carried
for
the
latter
,
that
an
Engineer
was
ordered
to
go
with
a
Guard
towards
Killmallock
,
and
fortify
that
Place
:
but
before
he
got
out
of
the
Camp
he
was
countermanded
,
and
a
great
many
Pallisado's
were
brought
up
to
Mackay's
Fort
,
as
if
we
intended
to
winter
there
:
three
hundred
Cars
with
Bullets
,
Bombs
,
and
other
Necessaries
come
to
the
Camp
from
Dublin
,
and
our
Guns
play
still
from
the
great
Battery
.
Eleven
of
the
Enemies
Troopers
desert
,
and
a
Standard
was
brought
in
that
was
taken
the
Day
before
;
and
my
Lord
Lisburn's
Corps
were
sent
hence
towards
Dublin
,
there
to
be
interred
.
Our
Bridg
of
Boats
was
this
Evening
removed
towards
St.
Thomas's
Island
,
but
being
too
short
,
it
was
carried
to
another
Place
,
where
it
had
also
the
same
Inconveniency
.
The
18th
,
Orders
were
sent
to
the
Men
of
War
and
other
Vessels
in
the
River
,
to
set
some
Men
on
Shoar
in
the
County
of
Clare
,
to
destroy
all
the
Forage
they
could
meet
with
,
since
this
was
the
time
of
Harvest
;
and
if
we
must
needs
remove
,
the
General
was
resolved
to
make
the
Irish
Quarters
as
bare
as
possible
;
and
several
of
our
heavy
Cannon
were
put
on
Ship-board
.
The
19th
it
being
resolved
to
pass
the
River
with
a
Party
,
either
to
prosecute
the
Seige
,
or
at
least
to
burn
the
Forage
;
a
Battery
was
raised
between
Ireton's
Fort
and
the
old
Church
,
to
flank
the
Irish
in
Case
of
a
Sally
from
St.
John's
Gate
,
it
being
reasonable
to
expect
one
when
part
of
our
Army
once
pass'd
the
River
:
and
now
our
People
were
very
busy
in
lengthning
our
Bridg
,
which
they
found
some
Difficulty
in
fixing
,
because
the
the
Rains
had
swelled
the
River
,
and
we
had
not
Boats
enough
to
reach
over
;
but
that
Defect
was
supplied
by
some
large
Carts
and
Barrels
that
were
industriously
fixed
next
the
Sides
,
and
so
the
Work
was
compleated
,
a
Guard
being
always
on
the
other
Side
for
its
Security
;
and
my
Lord
Lisburn's
and
Colonel
Creighton's
Foot
were
encamp'd
by
it
on
our
side
.
This
Afternoon
four
Mortars
were
brought
from
the
great
Battery
to
Mackay's
Fort
,
that
Place
being
judged
the
fittest
for
bombarding
,
since
the
whole
Town
lay
in
a
Line
from
thence
.
Three
Rapparees
were
also
brought
in
by
the
Militia
,
and
accused
for
murdering
several
of
our
Men
as
they
straggled
from
the
Camp
to
dig
Potatoes
;
one
of
them
produced
a
Pass
,
as
being
of
my
Lord
Gallmoy's
Regiment
of
Horse
:
but
this
was
an
usual
shift
,
for
in
a
Day
or
two
there
being
evident
Proof
against
them
,
they
were
condemned
by
a
Court-Martial
;
the
General
gave
Orders
that
they
should
be
broke
upon
the
Wheel
;
but
being
told
that
this
way
of
Torture
was
against
the
Laws
of
England
,
they
were
first
hanged
,
and
then
their
Quarters
dispersed
and
hung
upon
the
Hedges
,
on
the
adjacent
High-ways
to
the
Camp
.
That
Evening
the
General
was
informed
that
the
Enemy
resolved
to
make
a
Sally
,
and
therefore
most
of
our
Horse
and
Dragoons
were
ordered
to
remain
sadled
all
Night
:
And
in
case
of
an
Alarm
,
the
Commander
in
chief
where
it
should
be
Orders
in
case
of
an
Alarm
.
given
,
was
immediately
to
acquaint
the
General
with
it
;
upon
which
three
Guns
were
to
be
fired
from
the
Artillery
,
to
warn
the
Regiments
:
those
on
the
left
were
to
defend
the
left
Trench
,
Kirk's
,
Earl's
,
and
Hales's
were
to
defend
from
the
Place
my
Lord
Lisburn
was
killed
to
the
great
Battery
;
the
other
five
Regiments
of
that
Brigade
were
to
defend
from
Mackay's
Fort
to
the
Well
;
and
those
Regiments
of
the
Prince
of
Hesse
,
and
La
Mel●oner's
Brigades
were
to
draw
up
at
the
Head
of
their
respective
Camps
,
and
there
remain
till
further
Orders
:
so
that
our
Army
being
disposed
of
on
this
manner
,
the
Irish
would
have
met
with
a
very
scurvy
Welcome
,
if
they
had
come
at
any
time
to
visit
us
,
but
they
considered
better
of
it
,
and
so
staid
at
home
.
The
20th
most
of
the
rest
of
our
heavy
Canon
were
Some
of
our
Guns
shipp'd
.
drawn
off
,
and
sent
on
Shipboard
:
Several
Deserters
come
in
,
and
some
of
our
Prisoners
make
their
Escape
through
a
Hole
in
the
Goal
,
which
our
Cannon
had
made
,
and
inform
the
General
of
the
State
of
the
Town
,
that
it
was
not
so
very
bad
as
some
People
made
it
,
for
unless
we
kept
them
in
also
on
the
other
Side
,
we
could
not
hope
to
carry
it
,
which
Story
had
been
very
often
told
.
On
the
21st
the
General
received
an
Express
with
an
Account
of
Sligoe's
being
surrendred
to
the
Earl
of
Granard
;
and
it
being
fully
agreed
to
pass
the
River
next
Day
,
and
a
probable
Consequence
of
that
being
that
the
Irish
must
needs
then
or
never
endeavour
to
attempt
the
forcing
of
our
Works
on
this
side
,
when
they
saw
our
Army
divide
;
therefore
it
was
ordered
,
that
in
case
of
an
Alarm
,
there
should
be
a
Signal
given
,
which
was
by
the
lighting
of
a
Torch
upon
a
Pike
at
Mackay's
Fort
;
the
Charge
of
which
was
committed
to
the
Officer
of
the
Quarter-Guard
,
and
he
ordered
to
be
very
vigilant
;
the
Regiments
being
disposed
of
for
Defence
as
before
.
The
Quartermasters
were
also
ordered
to
be
be
at
Major
General
Tetteau's
by
break
of
Day
.
And
therefore
,
September
the
22
d
,
the
General
himself
,
the
Duke
of
Our
Men
pass
the
River
a
second
time
.
Wirtemberg
,
Lieutenant
General
Scravemore
,
with
all
our
Horse
and
Dragoons
commanded
by
Major
General
Ruvigny
,
(
except
Colonel
Coys's
Horse
,
and
fifty
out
of
each
Regiment
of
Dragoons
)
with
ten
Regiments
of
Foot
,
(
and
fourteen
Guns
,
viz.
ten
3
Pounders
,
and
four
12
Pounders
)
taking
also
seven
Days
Provision
along
,
march'd
over
our
Bridg
of
Boats
into
the
County
of
Clare
,
leaving
Major
General
Mackay
and
Major
General
Talmash
to
command
on
this
side
.
All
that
Morning
as
our
Horse
and
Foot
march'd
by
this
side
of
the
Town
,
the
Enemy
fired
continually
upon
us
from
several
Batteries
,
but
did
us
no
great
Injury
.
At
twelve
a
Clock
all
our
Men
had
passed
the
River
;
and
about
two
,
eighteen
of
Colonel
Matthews's
Dragoons
,
being
our
advance-Party
,
were
attack'd
by
a
Party
of
the
Enemy
,
who
out-numbred
ours
,
and
obliged
us
to
retreat
,
till
sustained
by
a
greater
Party
,
as
was
also
the
Enemy
:
and
some
small
Firings
continued
till
about
four
,
that
our
Foot
came
up
,
we
advancing
still
,
and
the
Enemy
retiring
till
they
were
got
under
their
Cannon
.
Then
all
the
Granadeers
of
our
Party
,
commanded
by
Colonel
Tiffin
,
Lieutenant
Colonel
Hudson
,
and
Major
Noble
,
sustained
by
Kirk's
,
Tiffin's
,
St.
John's
,
and
my
Lord
George
Hamilton's
Regiments
,
were
commanded
to
advance
and
attack
the
Works
that
cover
Thoumond
Bridg
,
being
one

Right

Bridg
,
The
Attack
at
Thoumond
Gate
.
another
on
the
Left
somewhat
nearer
;
besides
several
natural
Fortifications
of
Stone-quarries
and
Gravel-pits
,
in
all
which
the
Enemy
had
posted
a
Detachment
out
of
eighteen
Regiments
,
of
about
eight
hundred
Men.
The
Dispute
was
pretty
hot
at
first
:
and
their
Cannon
playing
from
the
King's
Castle
,
and
two
or
three
more
Batteries
,
as
also
their
small
Shot
from
the
Walls
,
the
Attack
seemed
very
hazardous
,
and
our
Men
ordered
not
to
approach
so
nigh
the
Town
as
they
afterwards
did
.
However
,
the
Irish
being
now
pressed
upon
by
our
Granadeers
,
they
quitted
their
first
Posts
,
and
then
were
reinforced
by
another
Detachment
from
the
Town
:
but
all
this
could
not
do
their
business
,
for
our
Granadeers
were
so
very
forward
,
and
despised
all
Dangers
to
that
degree
,
that
they
put
the
whole
Body
to
flight
in
despight
of
their
Forts
,
Cannon
,
and
all
other
Advantages
,
and
pursued
them
so
close
,
that
a
French
Major
who
commanded
at
Thoumond
Gate
,
fearing
our
Mens
entring
the
Town
with
their
own
,
he
ordered
the
Draw-bridg
to
be
pluck'd
up
,
and
left
the
whole
Party
to
the
Mercy
of
our
Souldiers
;
those
that
were
behind
,
pressing
the
others
forward
,
and
throwing
them
down
over
the
Fall
of
the
Draw-bridg
:
then
the
rest
cried
out
for
Quarter
,
holding
up
their
Handkerchiefs
,
and
what
else
they
could
get
:
but
before
killing
was
over
,
they
were
laid
on
Heaps
upon
the
Bridg
higher
than
the
Ledges
of
it
;
so
that
they
were
all
either
killed
or
taken
,
except
about
a
hundred
and
twenty
that
got
into
Town
before
the
Bridg
was
drawn
up
,
and
many
of
those
cut
and
slash'd
to
the
purpose
.
The
number
of
the
Dead
is
said
to
be
600
of
the
Enemy
killed
.
six
hundred
,
amongst
whom
we
may
reckon
one
hundred
fifty
four
that
were
drowned
in
being
forced
over
the
Fall
of
the
Draw-bridg
,
and
reckoned
afterwards
cast
up
upon
the
Shore
.
The
Prisoners
were
Colonel
James
Skelton
,
(
who
died
afterwards
of
his
Wounds
)
Lieutenant
Colonel
Edmond
Hurley
,
Lieutenant
Colonel
Francis
Dempsey
,
Major
Matthew
French
,
John
Nelvil
Aid-Major
of
Limerick
,
besides
nine
Captains
,
seven
Lieutenants
,
six
Serjeants
,
and
ninety
seven
private
Men
;
all
whose
Names
I
have
,
but
they
are
not
worth
the
while
of
writing
down
,
or
reading
afterwards
.
We
took
also
five
Colours
;
and
,
as
some
say
,
three
small
brass
Guns
that
were
with
a
Party
of
their
Horse
.
And
we
lost
in
this
Action
Lieutenant
Starlin
,
with
twenty
five
private
Men
,
and
had
about
threescore
wounded
.
One
thing
here
remarkable
is
,
that
Colonel
Skelton's
A
remarkable
Paper
.
Pockets
being
search'd
when
he
was
taken
Prisoner
,
the
following
Paper
was
found
amongst
other
things
:
The
Paper
it self
I
have
,
and
will
not
be
answerable
either
for
the
Orthography
or
Sense
;
however
take
an
exact
Copy
of
it
.
And
first
,
something
like
the
fashion
of
a
Spear's
Head
,
or
a
Wound
as
he
calls
it
,
being
slovenly
drawn
upon
Paper
,
the
following
Words
were
writ
about
it
.
THis
is
the
Measure
of
the
Wounds
of
the
Side
of
our
Saviour
Jesus
Christ
,
wich
was
brought
from
Constantinoble
to
the
Emperor
Charmaine
in
a
Coffin
of
Goulde
,
and
is
a
most
precious
Relique
,
to
the
end
that
he
or
she
that
carried
the
same
about
him
,
no
Fire
nor
Water
,
no
Wind
,
Tempest
,
Knaife
,
Launce
or
Sword
,
nor
the
Divil
cannot
hurt
him
;
and
the
Woman
with
Child
the
day
she
seeth
the
same
Measure
,
shall
not
dey
a
sudden
Death
,
but
shall
be
delivered
by
—
and
if
any
Man
carre
the
same
about
him
with
good
Devotion
,
shall
have
the
Honor
and
Victorey
of
his
Enimy
.
The
day
that
any
doth
read
the
sam
,
or
heard
it
read
,
shall
not
dey
an
evil
Death
.
Amen
.

I
have
more
Charity
for
any
in
Colonel
Skelton's
Post
,
than
to
believe
that
he
could
write
this
Paper
himself
;
for
whoever
did
,
understood
neither
English
nor
Latin
,
nor
yet
Common
Sense
.
I
therefore
believe
it
the
Hand-writing
of
some
poor
ignorant
Irish
Priest
,
and
kept
by
Colonel
Skelton
either
out
of
Ridicule
,
or
possibly
out
of
some
Religious
Design
;
since
I
have
heard
that
they
had
a
great
many
of
those
Papers
printed
and
kept
amongst
them
with
a
great
deal
of
Devotion
:
and
if
we
'll
look
amongst
them
,
we
may
find
a
great
many
Instances
of
the
like
nature
,
and
altogether
as
great
Absurdities
;
for
Colonel
Skelton
was
no
Irishman
,
nor
could
he
well
be
fond
of
the
Fopperies
of
that
Nation
.
In
the
former
Wars
we
have
several
Relations
of
such
like
Religious
Papers
found
upon
the
Irish
,
with
a
great
many
Charms
,
and
other
such
like
Stuff
;
particularly
at
the
Battel
of
Knocknaclashy
,
the
last
of
that
Rebellion
,
and
parallel
to
this
in
several
Circumstances
:
for
amongst
other
Charms
taken
at
that
time
,
this
one
is
remarkable
,
viz.
This
is
the
Print
of
our
Lady's
Foot
;
and
whoever
wears
it
,
and
says
twenty
Ave
Maries
,
shall
be
free
from
Gunshot
.
Cox

But
this
Digression
I
'm
afraid
is
scarce
pardonable
;
and
therefore
when
our
Men
had
lodged
themselves
within
ten
Yards
of
the
Bridg
,
(
notwithstanding
an
high
Tower
that
stood
near
that
End
of
the
Bridg
next
to
them
)
the
Irish
being
then
cut
off
from
all
Communication
with
their
Horse
,
and
despairing
of
Succours
from
France
,
they
began
soon
to
think
upon
giving
up
the
Town
:
but
it
must
needs
be
thought
very
unaccountable
,
that
when
they
saw
our
Forces
divide
,
and
part
of
them
indeavouring
to
approach
the
Town
on
their
Side
,
they
should
not
then
have
brought
all
their
Army
together
,
and
given
us
Battel
,
rather
than
suffer
the
Town
to
be
surrounded
:
nor
could
they
have
been
so
pinn'd
up
in
the
Town
by
us
if
they
really
had
been
beat
,
but
that
their
Horse
and
Dragoons
might
have
fought
their
way
out
again
at
some
time
when
we
had
not
been
at
our
Arms
;
for
there
was
no
Forage
left
nigh
the
Town
,
and
our
Horse
could
no
more
stay
long
near
it
,
than
theirs
within
it
.
But
it
's
probable
e're
this
time
that
they
were
grown
jealous
of
one
another
,
and
a
great
many
of
them
weary
of
the
War
it self
;
and
it
's
as
probable
that
if
their
Horse
and
Dragoons
,
after
a
brisk
Trial
of
Skill
,
had
been
forced
towards
the
Town
,
they
had
been
served
the
same
sauce
by
the
French
Major
as
their
Foot
were
;
and
therefore
they
were
wiser
,
and
kept
at
a
good
Distance
,
beyond
Six-mile-Bridg
,
and
nigh
Ennis
,
towards
whom
the
General
sent
a
Party
of
our
Horse
.
Next
Day
,
being
Wednesday
the
23
d
,
one
hundred
Cattle
taken
from
the
Enemy
the
Day
before
,
and
six
hundred
more
sent
out
of
the
County
of
Kerry
by
Brigadeer
Leveson
,
were
divided
amongst
the
Army
.
And
though
the
Day
proved
very
rainy
,
yet
our
Guns
and
some
Mortars
ceased
not
to
play
upon
the
Town
,
nor
the
Enemy
to
fire
more
furiously
than
they
had
done
for
some
time
before
.
One
Lieutenant
Colonel
Corbet
came
off
from
the
Enemy
,
and
proposed
to
the
General
the
bringing
over
my
Lord
Tyrconnel's
and
Galmoy's
Regiments
of
Horse
,
and
out
of
those
two
to
make
one
good
Regiment
to
serve
their
Majesties
in
Flanders
,
provided
he
might
have
the
Command
of
them
.
Towards
Night
the
Rain
begun
to
cease
,
and
both
Storms
were
ended
together
,
for
about
six
a
Clock
the
Enemy
beat
a
Parly
The
Enemy
beat

Parly
.
on
both
Sides
the
Town
;
one
Colonel
Ruth
coming
towards
Mackay's
Fort
,
where
the
Earl
of
Drogheda's
Regiment
then
were
upon
Duty
:
But
Major
General
Talmash
shortly
after
coming
that
way
,
and
being
acquainted
with
it
,
he
referred
the
Matter
to
Lieutenant
General
Scravemore
,
and
the
Marquess
Ruvigny
.
The
General
being
then
beyond
the
River
,
Major
General
Waughup
,
or
Lieutenant
General
Sarsfield
went
out
to
him
,
and
a
Cessation
was
concluded
for
that
Night
.
The
24th
in
the
Morning
,
Lieutenant
General
Sarsfield
A
Cessation
agreed
to
.
and
Major
General
Waughup
came
out
to
the
General
,
and
desired
it
might
be
continued
for
three
Days
longer
,
till
they
could
send
to
their
Horse
,
who
then
were
encamp'd
towards
Clare
,
in
order
to
their
being
included
in
the
general
Capitulation
which
they
then
proposed
,
and
the
Request
was
granted
.
The
Enemy
had
now
in
Town
two
hundred
forty
and
odd
Prisoners
of
our
Army
and
Militia
,
that
had
been
taken
in
the
County
of
Cork
,
and
other
Places
,
who
remained
there
all
the
Siege
,
and
were
pretty
well
look'd
after
whilst
the
Protestants
had
leave
to
stay
,
who
were
inexpressibly
kind
to
them
;
but
no
sooner
were
they
turn'd
out
of
Town
,
but
the
poor
Prisoners
were
in
a
miserable
Condition
,
being
exposed
to
the
Fury
of
our
own
Guns
and
Mortars
,
and
about
thirty
of
them
killed
during
the
Siege
.
This
Afternoon
those
alive
were
brought
out
to
us
,
and
delivered
between
Mackay's
Fort
and
the
Town
,
many
of
them
in
a
miserable
Condition
;
those
of
them
that
were
not
able
to
walk
,
were
brought
out
upon
poor
lean
Garrons
;
and
some
died
upon
the
Spot
where
they
were
set
down
,
being
weak
,
and
unacquainted
with
the
open
Air
:
Nay
so
barbarous
had
the
Irish
been
in
this
Particular
,
that
they
had
not
so
much
as
ordered
the
Wounds
of
some
of
our
Men
to
be
dressed
that
they
had
got
in
Prison
by
our
own
Guns
;
but
after
several
Days
keeping
them
in
that
Misery
,
they
brought
them
out
,
and
made
us
all
Witnesses
of
their
Barbarity
:
I
give
one
Instance
of
a
Dragoon
in
Colonel
Matthews's
Regiment
,
who
had
his
Hand
shattered
to
Pieces
,
and
being
never
dress'd
,
he
died
within
an
Hour
after
his
bringing
out
.
The
same
Day
we
had
an
Account
that
Galloping
Hogan
,
a
Fellow
that
had
got
upwards
of
one
hundred
Rapparees
together
,
Horse
and
Foot
,
and
got
much
Plunder
by
robbing
the
Sutlers
and
other
People
,
that
came
into
his
Power
;
he
was
now
so
bold
as
to
set
upon
a
Party
of
Carrs
coming
towards
the
Camp
with
little
or
no
Guard
,
nigh
Cullen
,
and
took
away
with
him
seventy
one
small
Horses
,
though
he
durst
not
stay
to
do
any
further
Mischief
.
The
25th
Lieutenant

Lords
Their
great
Officers
come
from
the
Horse
Camp
to
consult
with
the
rest
in

Galmoy
,
Westmeath

Dillon
and
Trimblestowne
,
Mack
Guire
the
Titular
Primate
,
the
Titular
Archbishop
of
Cashell
,
Sir
Theobald
Butler
,
and
several
more
of
the
Irish
Officers
,
came
from
their
Horse
Camp
;
and
dining
with
the
General
,
they
went
afterwards
into
Town
in
a
Boat
rowed
by
French
Seamen
,
(
there
being
then
three
Vessels
drawn
up
within
the
Key
,
and
one
of
them
sunk
a-cross
it
,
to
prevent
our
coming
up
the
River
in
the
Night
by
way
of
Surprize
;
)
as
they
rid
by
the
End
of
the
Bridg
towards
the
Boat
,
a
Party
of
their
own
Men
were
burying
the
Dead
killed
in
the
last
Action
;
they
stopp'd
and
enquired
for
several
People
,
whom
they
there
found
dead
:
and
the
Cessation
was
continued
till
next
Day
at
ten
a
Clock
.
The
26th
,
Sarsfield
and
Waughup
dined
with
the
General
,
and
it
was
agreed
that
Hostages
should
be
exchanged
in
order
to
a
further
Treaty
.
Accordingly
in
the
Afternoon
,
Hostages
exchanged
.
my
Lord
Cutts
,
Sir
David
Collier
,
Colonel
Tiffin
,
and
Colonel
Piper
,
were
sent
into
the
Town
,
for
whom
were
sent
out
the
Lords
Westmeath
,
Iveagh
,
Trimblestowne
and
Louth
.
The
27th
the
Irish
sent
out
their
Proposals
,
which
were
;
1st
.
That
their
Majesties
will
by
an
Act
of
Indemnity
The
Irish
Proposals
.
pardon
all
past
Crimes
and
Offences
whatsoever
.
2dly
.
To
restore
all
Irish
Catholicks
to
the
Estates
,
of
which
they
were
seized
or
possessed
before
the
late
Revolution
.
3dly
.
To
allow
a
free
Liberty
of
Worship
,
and
one
Priest
to
each
Parish
,
as
well
in
Towns
and
Cities
,
as
in
the
Country
.
4thly
.
Irish
Catholicks
to
be
capable
of
bearing
Imployments
,
Military
and
Civil
,
and
to
exercise
Professions
,
Trades
,
Callings
,
of
what
Nature
soever
.
5thly
.
The
Irish
Army
to
be
kept
on
Foot
,
paid
,
&c.
as
the
rest
of
their
Majesties
Forces
,
in
case
they
be
willing
to
serve
their
Majesties
against
France
,
or
any
other
Enemy
.
6thly
.
The
Irish
Catholicks
to
be
allowed
to
live
in
Towns
Corporate
and
Cities
,
to
be
Members
of
Corporations
,
to
exercise
all
sorts
and
manners
of
Trades
,
and
to
be
equal
with
their
Fellow-Protestant
Subjects
in
all
Privileges
,
Advantages
and
Immunities
accruing
in
or
by
the
said
Corporations
.
7thly
.
An
Act
of
Parliament
to
be
past
for
ratifying
and
confirming
the
said
Conditions
.
These
Propositions
were
very
unreasonable
,
and
they
say
mightily
insisted
upon
by
Mack
Guire
and
others
of
the
Priesthood
:
this
Man
I
'm
told
was
Chaplain
to
the
Spanish
Ambassador
at
Rome
,
when
Plunket
the
Titular
Primate
was
hanged
about
the
Popish
Plot
in
Ireland
;
and
few
People
daring
to
assume
that
Title
at
such
a
Juncture
,
the
Ambassador
procured
it
from
the
Pope
for
him
.
When
those
Proposals
were
brought
out
to
the
General
,
he
was
so
far
from
granting
them
,
that
he
returned
Answer
,
Though
he
was
in
a
manner
a
Stranger
to
the
Laws
of
England
,
yet
he
understood
Rejected
by
the
General
,
and
new
Batteries
ordered
to
be
raised
.
that
those
things
they
insisted
upon
were
so
far
contradictory
to
them
,
and
dishonourable
to
himself
,
that
he
would
not
grant
any
such
Terms
;
and
so
returned
them
,
ordering
a
new
Battery
to
be
immediately
raised
to
the
left
of
Mackay's
Fort
,
for
Mortars
and
Guns
.
Then
the
Irish
sent
again
to
know
what
Terms
his
Excellency
would
please
to
propose
to
them
,
who
after
a
Consultation
,
sent
them
in
twelve

SIR

I
Have
notice

General
's
Letter

Sir
Ralph
Dalaval
.
were
to
come
with
the
Squadron
under
your
Command
into
these
Seas
;
which
makes
me
send
this
to
acquaint
you
,
that
I
have
entred
into
a
Treaty
with
the
City
of
Limerick
,
and
the
Irish
Army
,
which
is
now
just
come
to
a
Conclusion
.
In
the
mean
time
we
have
a
Cessation
of
Arms
at
Land
,
and
have
agreed
there
shall
be
one
too
at
Sea
,
upon
the
Coasts
of
this
Kingdom
,
since
several
of
the
Irish
Army
are
to
be
transported
,
and
to
make
use
of
French
as
well
as
English
Ships
for
that
Purpose
:
and
therefore
I
must
desire
you
will
not
hinder

Transport
Ships
of
France
from
coming
into
the
Shannon
,
nor
the
rest
of

gives
Assurance

no
Hostility
will
be
committed
by
them
:
and
you
will
please
to
observe
the
same
on
your
Side
,
which
is
very
necessary
for
their
Majesties
Service
,
and
the
speedy
finishing
the
Affair
we
have
in
hand
;
to
which
I
am

you

of

nothing

being
to
be
done
till
the
Arrival
of
the
Lords
Justices
,
who
were
sent
for
to
confirm
the
Articles
according
to
Agreement
:
And
by
this
time
the
Irish
Souldiers
and
ours
were
also
pretty
well
acquainted
,
they
coming
into
our
Camp
,
and
our
Men
being
admitted
to
view
all
their
Works
,
where
we
will
leave
them
,
asking
strange
Questions
one
at
another
,
and
look
back
a
little
upon
the
Actions
that
hapned
in
other
Parts
of
the

this
Month.

Account
of
what

in
other
Places
of
the
Kingdom
this
Month.
the
main
Strength
of
the
Irish
,
the
Government
was
not
wanting
to
order
the
Militia
in
several
Parts
of
this
Kingdom
,
to
suppress
the
skulking
Tories
,
and
other
mischievous
Persons
,
who
laid
hold
on
all
Occasions
to
do
Mischief
.
On
the
5th
of
September
a
Party
of
Rapparees
near
Tallough
,
rob
some
Carriages
belonging
to
the
Officers
in
the
Princess
Ann's
Regiment
,
and
got
away
into
the
Woods
.
The
Militia
kill
three
Rapparees
near
Caperquin
,
and
four
more
nigh
Lismore
.
The
6th
,
our
Barbadoes
Fleet
came
into
Kinsale
under
Convoy
of
the
Princess
Ann
,
and
the
Bristol
Frigats
;
and
the
same
Day
the
St.
Albans
and
Soldadoe
brought
7
French
Prizes
into
Cork
.
The
Militia
of
Dublin
,
and
eight
hundred
more
from
the
North
,
being
joined
by
Balderock
O
Donnel
,
with
about
twelve
hundred
Irish
,
were
at
Abby
Boyle
the
9th
of
September
,
on
their
March
to
Sligoe
;
and
on
their
way
they
summon'd
Loughlin
,
commanded
by
Colonel
Theobald
Dillon
;
and
another
Place
commanded
by
Colonel
Charles
Kelly
,
both
strong
Castles
,
and
garison'd
by
the
Irish
,
which
surrendred
:
and
then
the
Earl
of
Granard
,
Commander
in
chief
,
sent
to
summon
Ballymott
,
which
refusing
to
surrender
,
Balderock
with
a
thousand
Men
was
ordered
to
attack
it
.
This
Place
they
say
is
very
strong
,
and
at
that
time
commanded
by
one
of
the
O
Connors
,
who
upon
Sight
of
the
Artillery
surrendred
upon
Condition
,
to
march
with
his
Party
and
Baggage
towards
Sligoe
.
This
done
,
my
Lord
Granard
marches
to
Sligoe
,
having
Advice
that
Colonel
Mitchelburn's
Regiment
,
and
some
of
the
Militia
under
Lieutenant
Colonel
Caulfield
,
had
forced
old
Sir
Teague
and
his
Crew
from
several
Out-works
and
Ditches
,
and
obliged
them
to
retire
into
the
Fort.
The
Earl
of
Granard
and
his
Party
were
hard
put
to
it
in
their
March
thither
over
the
Curlew
Mountains
;
for
their
Draught-Horses
being
none
of
the
best
,
and
several
of
them
tiring
,
the
Men
themselves
were
forced
to
draw
the
Cannon
,
and
that
for
several
Miles
,
which
they
performed
very
chearfully
.
That
Afternoon
the
Enemy
beat
a
Parley
;
but
we
found
it
was
only
to
gain
Time
:
and
therefore
in
the
Evening
we
began
to
fire
with
great
and
small
Shot
,
and
so
continued
most
part
of
the
Night
without
any
further
Loss
on
our
Side
,
but
of
an
Ensign
who
had
his
Head
shot
off
with
a
great
Shot
.
But
the
Enemy
seeing
a
great
many
Carriages
with
my
Lord
Granard's
Party
,
they
were
perswaded
that
they
had
brought
heavy
Cannon
,
with
Mortars
,
Bombs
,
Carcasses
,
&c.
So
that
they
beat
another
Parley
,
and
after
some
time
they
consented
to
surrender
the
Sligoe
surrendred
to
my
Ld
Granard
.
Town
upon
the
Articles
that
were
agreed
to
on
the
6th
of
August
,
viz.
Their
Party
to
march
to
Limerick
with
Arms
and
Baggage
;
and
that
all
the
little
Garisons
thereabouts
in
the
Hands
of
the
Irish
,
should
have
the
Benefit
of
the
Capitulation
.
The
Fort
was
surrendred
on
the
sixteenth
,
being
made
of
Turf
,
and
having
in
it
six
hundred
Men
and
sixteen
Guns
;
and
Colonel
Mitchelburn
was
left
Governour
.
In
former
times
the
Castle
of
Sligoe
was
a
good
Fortification
,
being
built
by
Maurice
Fitz-Gerald
Lord
Justice
,
in
the
Year
1242.
September
the
17th
,
the
Dublin
Militia
return
Conquerors
home
again
,
having
not
lost
one
Man
in
their
whole
March
:
and
those
of
the
North
march
towards
Ballynewton
and
Castle-burk
,
to
have
them
surrendred
according
to
the
Articles
of
Sligoe
;
many
Robberies
and
Murders
being
committed
in
that
Countrey
,
particularly
on
Dr.
Brooks
an
eminent
Physician
,
and
three
more
,
the
Rapparees
first
wounding
them
in
several
Places
,
and
then
for
security
cutting
their
Throats
.
September
the
12th
,
the
Irish
take
a
good
Prey
near
Tallough
;
and
the
Militia
to
be
even
with
them
,
take
another
Prey
,
and
kill
one
of
my
Lord
Merion's
Troopers
,
with
two
Rapparees
.
Captain
Orfeur
of
Colonel
Hastings's
Regiment
,
going
out
with
a
Party
of
the
said
Regiment
,
and
some
of
the
Militia
,
he
killed
twenty
of
the
Rapparees
near
Lismore
,
which
so
terrified
the
rest
,
that
the
Countrey
thereabouts
was
pretty
quiet
for
some
time
.
On
the
12th
of
August
John
Mackabe
,
the
notorious
Rapparee
,
who
so
much
infested
the
Bog
of
Allen
,
was
brought
with
four
of
his
Companions
,
by
Lieutenant
Sheilds
and
Lieutenant
Courtney
,
to
Dublin
;
and
on
the
19th
they
were
hanged
up
in
Chains
at
the
Naas
:
This
Fellow
,
and
another
called
the
White
Serjeant
,
had
been
both
in
the
Irish
Army
,
but
broke
there
for
some
Rogueries
;
and
after
a
great
deal
of
Mischief
done
to
the
Countrey
,
they
both
got
what
they
deserved
,
the
one
being
killed
,
and
the
other
hanged
.
About
this
time
one
of
the
Militia
was
killed
,
and
several
wounded
by
the
Rapparees
near
Caperquin
;
but
in
requital
the
Militia
kill
five
of
them
.
Towards
the
latter
End
of
September
,
two
Lieutenants
of
the
Irish
Army
having
deserted
,
and
got
our
General
's
Pass
to
go
home
,
they
were
met
withal
by
Hogan
and
his
Party
,
and
stripp'd
of
what
they
had
;
but
neither
himself
nor
any
of
his
Crew
could
read
the
Pass
,
else
it
's
probable
they
would
have
sent
them
the
way
they
sometimes
did
our
Militia
,
when
they
fell
into
their
Power
.
Two
Rapparees
of
one
Higgins's
Party
are
taken
;
and
himself
desires
a
Protection
.
Six
more
are
killed
near
Mountmelick
.
And
on
the
26th
one
Caloghan
a
great
Rapparee
,
and
some
of
his
Party
,
come
in
under
Protection
at
Edenderry
:
for
now
they
began
to
be
sensible
how
things
were
like
to
go
on
their
side
;
and
October
,
1691.
therefore
when
they
were
afraid
to
lose
the
Power
of
doing
Mischief
,
they
came
in
,
and
not
before
.
And
to
conclude
the
Month
,
Hogan
and
his
Party
meeting
with
some
of
our
Militia
Dragoons
near
Roscreagh
,
murder
seven
of
them
,
and
the
eighth
hardly
escaped
.
One
Tiercy
was
seized
and
hanged
:
And
one
Purcell
,
after
the
Rope
had
broke
with
him
,
promising
to
make
a
Discovery
,
was
saved
,
and
detected
four
more
.
And
nigh
the
End
of
this
Month
our
Packets
brought
us
an
account
of
the
Death
of
Lieutenant
General
Dowglass
in
Flanders

out

not

us
whether
they

not

tho
it
was
material
to

But
tho

were
in

manner
adjusted
before
,
yet
there
arose
new
Debates
about
the
Rapparees
,
and
other

Count
Nassaw's
and
Colonel
Gustavus
Hamilton's
Regiments
to
take
possession
of
the
Stone-Fort
,
and
all
the
Out-Works
of
the
Irish-Town
:
And
on
the
fourth
,
five
of
our
Regiments
march'd
in
,
and
took
possession
of
the
Irish
Town
,
wherein
we
found
14
pieces
of
Canon
,
and
a
Church
heap'd
full
of
Oats
,
which
the
Irish
had
●nd
of
the
Town
.
the
Benefit
of
,
according
to
the
Articles
.
The
Works
were
all
exceeding
strong
,
and
the
Town
as
dirty
,
the
Irish
had
left
very
little
else
in
it
however
,
but
carried
every
thing
away
that
might
do
them
the
least
Service
.
Our
Regiments
in
Town
were
relieved
every
day
as
long
as
the
Army
staid
,
because
the
Place
was
so
disordered
,
that
we
could
not
abide
long
in
it
till
things
were
in
some
measure
better
disposed
of
.
At
our
going
in
,
we
planted
a
Guard
at
one
end
of
Balls-Bridge
as
the
Irish
had
at
the
other
.
October
the
Fifth
,
One
hundred
Men
out
of
each
Foot-Regiment
Our
Batteries
levelled
.
were
ordered
to
level
the
Works
that
we
had
cast
up
against
the
Town
;
and
,
about
Ten
a-Clock
,
the
General
received
a
Letter
from
a
Lieutenant-Colonel
in
the
Irish
Army
,
complaining
that
he
was
imprisoned
A
Lieutenant-Colonel
imprison'd
for
denying
to
go
with
the
Irish
into
France
.
for
denying
to
go
with
them
into
France
;
which
the
General
took
so
very
ill
,
that
he
ordered
four
Guns
to
be
carried
immediately
down
,
and
planted
upon
Balls-Bridge
,
saying
,
with
some
heat
,
that
he
would
teach
them
to
play
Tricks
with
him
;
which
my
Lord
Lucan
hearing
of
,
(
for
so
we
may
venture
to
call
Lieutenant-General
Sarsfield
now
,
since
the
Articles
do
it
)
he
came
out
to
our
Camp
,
and
several
sharp
Words
passed
,
my
Lord
Lucan
saying
,
at
last
,
that
he
was
then
in
the
General
's
Power
.
Not
so
(
replies
the
other
)
but
you
shall
go
in
,
and
then
do
the
best
you
can
;
but
he
endeavoured
to
excuse
the
thing
,
by
saying
there
were
Prisoners
of
War
,
and
Prisoners
of
State
,
for
some
Misdemeanors
against
their
Government
;
some
of
those
,
though
not
obliged
by
the
Articles
,
they
had
set
at
liberty
,
who
coming
warm
from
our
Camp
afterwards
,
they
begun
to
rail
and
speak
dis-respectfully
of
the
Irish
Officers
,
for
which
this
Lieutenant-Colonel
was
imprison'd
,
and
not
for
desiring
to
leave
them
;
so
that
after
some
other
Replies
,
all
things
were
quiet
,
and
the
Prisoner
enlarged
.
The
General
however
sent
ten
Field-Pieces
and
six
Canon
into
the
Irish
Town
,
and
in
the
Afternoon
ordered
the
following
Declaration
.
By
Lieutenant-General
Ginckel
,
Commander
in
Chief
of
Their
Majesties
Forces
.
THeir
Majesties
having
sufficiently
manifested
to
the
World
their
Intention
of
bringing
this
Kingdom
into
a
state
of
Quiet
and
Repose
,
and
to
the
flourishing
Condition
it
formerly
was
in
;
and
for
that
Reason
have
extended
their
Grace
and
Favour
to
those
that
,
till
now
,
have
been
in
Arms
against
them
.
We
cannot
but
let
the
Officers
and
Soldiers
of
the
Irish
Army
know
how
willing
we
are
to
indulge
,
and
provide
for
them
,
that
by
remaining
in
this
Kingdom
,
or
serving
Their
Majesties
abroad
,
had
rather
promote
the
British
and
Irish
Interest
,
than
the
Designs
of
France
against
both
:
And
do
therefore
promise
and
declare
,
that
all
Officers
and
Soldiers
of
the
said
Army
that
have
a
mind
to
return
to
their
homes
,
shall
have
leave
to
do
so
with
all
their
Goods
and
Effects
,
and
there
be
permitted
to
live
quietly
and
peaceably
under
the
Protection
and
Encouragement
of
the
Government
.
And
although
,
by
the
Capitulation
,
all
the
Troopers
of
that
Army
,
besides
the
six
hundred
that
have
License
to
go
beyond
Sea
,
were
to
deliver
up
their
Horses
without
payment
,
to
such
Persons
as
shall
be
appointed
to
receive
the
same
;
yet
we
do
hereby
give
the
said
Troopers
and
Dragoons
leave
to
sell
their
Horses
to
whom
they
think
fit
,
and
will
pay
them
for
their
Arms
upon
their
giving
them
up
to
the
Officer
,
commanding
the
Train
of
Artillery
,
either
in
the
Irish
Town
of
Limerick
,
or
the
Camp
:
As
also
to
the
Foot-Soldiers
;
they
shall
likewise
be
paid
for
their
Arms
,
they
bringing
them
in
.
As
for
those
Officers
and
Soldiers
that
are
willing
to
take
Service
under
Their
Majesties
,
they
shall
have
Quarters
immediately
assigned
them
,
and
receive
Subsistence
till
Their
Majesties
further
Pleasure
;
for
which
end
they
may
send
two
Officers
of
their
own
to
England
,
or
elsewhere
,
to
receive
from
Their
Majesties
themselves
what
further
Orders
they
shall
please
to
give
herein
.
And
whereas
it
has
industriously
been
spread
about
,
that
such
of
the
Irish
as
enter
into
Their
Majesties
Service
will
be
sent
into
Hungary
,
and
other
remote
Parts
,
contrary
to
their
Inclinations
and
Desires
;
We
assure
them
they
shall
not
be
obliged
to
serve
in
any
Place
against
their
Wills
,
no
more
than
be
constrained
to
take
Service
here
,
or
return
to
their
homes
,
they
being
at
full
and
entire
liberty
to
chuse
what
part
they
will
take
;
but
if
once
they
go
into
France
,
they
must
not
expect
to
return
into
this
Kingdom
again
.

Baron
De
Ginckel
.
That
Afternoon
,
my
Lord
Lucan
and
Major-General
Waughop
made
Speeches
to
the
Irish
Souldiers
in
Town
and
in
the
King's
Island
,
telling
them
,
that
though
they
were
under
indifferent
Circumstances
at
present
;
yet
next
Spring
,
or
soon
after
,
they
would
either
be
landed
in
England
,
or
else
in
Ireland
,
with
a
powerful
Army
;
every
Officer
amongst
them
keeping
their
present
Posts
,
at
least
,
and
would
always
be
upon
an
English
Establishment
,
and
receive
English
Pay
,
even
in
France
it self
;
and
a
great
many
other
Advantages
were
laid
before
them
,
which
would
have
seem'd
improbable
to
any
but
Irish-Men
,
who
easily
believe
what
they
wou'd
have
,
but
are
as
soon
dejected
at
any
frivolous
Misfortune
.
And
whilst
they
were
at
this
Work
,
the
General
was
settling
the
Quarters
of
several
of
our
own
Regiments
,
who
now
had
endured
a
very
long
and
active
Campaigne
.
The
Sixth
in
the
Morning
a
Sermon
was
preached
to
each
Irish
Regiment
by
their
Priests
,
declaring
the
Advantages
to
them
and
their
Religion
,
by
adhering
to
the
French
Interest
,
and
the
Inconveniences
,
nay
,
certain
Damnation
,
of
joining
with
Hereticks
;
and
then
a
good
Quantity
of
Brandy
given
them
to
wash
it
down
.
After
that
the
Bishops
gave
their
Blessings
;
and
then
the
whole
Body
of
the
Irish
Foot
were
drawn
out
on
the
County
of
The
Irish
Foot
drawn
out
,
and
put
to
the
trial
who
would
go
or
stay
.
Clare-side
,
being
at
least
Fourteen
thousand
Men
by
Poll.
The
Lords-Justices
and
General
went
over
the
River
to
view
them
,
Adjutant-General
Wythers
being
appointed
to
acquaint
them
with
the
Advantages
of
our
Service
above
that
of
France
;
and
how
unnatural
it
was
for
them
to
chuse
to
go
serve
in
a
Foreign
Countrey
against
the
real
Interest
of
their
own
,
with
much
more
to
that
purpose
,
and
Care
was
likewise
taken
to
distribute
the
General
's
Declaration
.
Then
the
Regiments
were
ordered
to
march
,
and
those
that
were
for
France
,
went
on
;
but
those
that
were
inclined
to
us
,
had
liberty
to
file
off
at
a
Place
appointed
.
That
which
they
called
the
Royal
Regiment
,
being
then
fourteen
hundred
Men
,
seem'd
to
go
all
entire
except
seven
Men
,
which
the
General
was
much
concerned
at
;
then
my
Lord
Ivaeghe's
Regiment
of
Vlster
,
Irish
,
came
off
entire
to
our
side
,
as
did
also
Colonel
Wilsons
,
and
about
half
my
Lord
Louth's
,
and
a
great
many
out
of
most
other
Regiments
,
Brigadier
Clifford
,
Colonel
Henry
Lutterel
,
and
Colonel
Purcel
,
all
appeared
averse
to
the
going
for
France
.
And
on
the
seventh
,
the
Lords-Justices
having
performed
all
that
was
necessary
on
The
Lords-Justices
Return
towards
Dublin
.
their
side
,
they
returned
towards
Dublin
;
and
Colonel
Earles
,
with
a
Regiment
of
Danes
,
march
towards
Quarters
.
The
Irish
had
kept
their
Stores
pretty
entire
,
from
the
beginning
of
the
Capitulation
till
after
the
Division
of
Men
;
and
then
they
distribute
Bread
,
Brandy
,
Claret
,
and
some
little
Money
amongst
those
that
staid
with
them
,
as
well
to
encourage
some
,
as
to
prevent
others
from
going
off
,
keeping
their
Gates
always
fast
lock'd
,
and
a
strong
Guard
at
each
.
And
now
the
General
seem'd
displeased
that
the
Irish
used
indirect
means
to
threaten
their
Men
into
a
French
Voyage
,
telling
the
Irish
great
Officers
plainly
,
that
if
they
broke
the
Articles
,
he
thought
himself
no
longer
obliged
to
observe
them
;
then
Colonel
Matthews
,
and
Colonel
Lumley
were
sent
to
the
Horse-Camp
upon
the
same
account
:
And
this
day
,
and
the
next
,
my
Lord
Ivaeghe's
,
Colonel
Wilson's
,
part
of
my
Lord
Dillon's
,
Colonel
Hussey's
,
and
other
Irish
Regiments
were
mustered
nigh
the
General
's
Quarters
,
making
1046
in
those
two
days
,
beside
double
the
number
that
had
Passes
to
go
home
;
those
that
were
mustered
had
all
of
them
Bread
,
Cheese
,
Brandy
,
and
Tabaco
,
with
a
Fortnight's
Subsistence
given
them
by
Adjutant-General
Wythers
,
who
never
can
be
sufficiently
commended
for
the
Care
and
Pains
he
has
taken
during
the
whole
War
of
Ireland
.
The
General
was
resolved
to
do
all
things
possible
to
prevent
the
Irish
going
in
so
great
Numbers
out
of
the
Kingdom
,
as
being
a
strengthning
our
Adversaries
,
and
a
weakning
of
our selves
;
and
therefore
he
orders
the
following
Declaration
to
be
Published
.
By
Lieut.
General
Ginckel
,
Commander
in
Chief
of
Their
Majesties
Forces
.
SInce
it
has
pleased
God
to
bless
Their
Majesties
Arms
with
that
Success
as
to
reduce
this
Kingdom
to
their
Obedience
;
to
the
end
that
all
the
Inhabitants
of
it
may
enjoy
the
Benefit
of
that
Peace
which
has
cost
so
much
Blood
,
and
the
effusion
of
it
for
the
future
may
be
stopt
,
I
think
fit
to
make
it
publick
,
and
declare
,
That
all
Persons
of
what
Quality
or
Condition
soever
,
have
free
liberty
and
permission
to
return
to
their
several
Homes
with
their
Goods
,
Stocks
,
and
Families
,
and
there
live
quietly
and
peaceably
under
the
Protection
of
the
Government
.
And
whereas
several
stragling
People
remain
still
in
Arms
,
and
daily
infest
the
Roads
,
committing
Robberies
and
Murders
upon
Their
Majesties
Subjects
;
I
do
hereby
require
all
such
,
whether
known
by
the
Name
of
Rapparies
,
Voluntiers
,
Creights
,
or
others
,
to
return
quietly
to
their
respective
Parishes
,
deliver
up
their
Arms
,
and
enter
their
Names
with
some
of
their
Majesties
Justices
of
the
Peace
in
the
Counties
to
which
they
belong
,
within
the
time
limited
by
the
Lords-Justices
Proclamation
,
upon
pain
of
being
exempted
from
all
manner
of
Quarter
.
And
all
Justices
of
the
Peace
are
hereby
directed
to
make
Entry
and
Register
of
all
the
Names
of
all
such
Persons
as
aforesaid
.
And
I
command
all
Officers
and
Souldiers
of
the
Army
,
and
other
Persons
whatsoever
,
to
forbear
committing
any
Act
of
Violence
or
Hostility
,
as
they
will
answer
the
contrary
at
their
utmost
Perils
.

Brigadier
Levison's
Dragoons
march
from
the
Camp
towards
Kerry
,
and
the
Earl
of
Portland's
,
with
another
Regiment
of
Horse
,
go
towards
Green
Ann
Castle
,
to
secure
the
Roads
against
the
Rapparees
,
especially
against
Hogan
,
and
his
Party
.
Several
of
our
Regiments
move
from
beyond
the
River
over
the
Bridge
again
,
and
many
of
them
being
pretty
thin
by
reason
of
hard
Marches
and
continual
Duty
,
some
Irish
were
enlisted
to
strengthen
them
;
an
Instance
of
the
various
Scenes
in
humane
Affairs
,
that
those
very
Men
we
were
so
busie
endeavouring
to
destroy
,
and
they
ten
times
more
inveterate
against
us
,
should
yet
be
so
far
reconciled
in
so
short
a
time
,
as
to
have
them
on
our
side
,
and
eat
and
sleep
amongst
us
;
but
Souldiers
often
think
no
further
than
Command
;
and
we
see
it
in
Truces
,
That
the
very
next
moment
after
the
sharpest
Conflict
,
a
Cessation
being
agreed
to
,
the
Men
are
presently
as
good
Friends
as
if
they
never
had
fallen
out
.
October
9.
Three
more
Danish
Regiments
move
towards
Quarters
,
and
a
great
many
of
the
Irish
that
came
off
,
laid
down
their
Arms
at
the
Train
,
and
so
had
Passes
to
go
home
,
with
Money
to
bear
their
Charges
,
which
made
it
something
scarce
amongst
our selves
,
though
the
poor
men
did
not
grudge
it
.
The
10th
.
Most
of
our
Army
returned
from
beyond
the
River
,
and
1000
Irish
Horse
and
Dragoons
that
came
over
to
our
side
,
were
mustered
by
Commissary
Allen.
On
the
12th

The
Irish
Horse
that
designed
for
France
,
marched
through
the
English
Town
,
and
so
out

of

went
out
towards
Cork
;
they
were
called
140●
Men
the
Week
before
;
but
now
,
as
nigh
as
I
could
count
them
,
they
made
only
482
:
nor
was
this
Number
left
before
they
got
to
Cork

The

The
Irish

are
fitting
out
their
Guns

in

And
here
it
may
be
enquired
by
some
,
what
Security

General
had
for
the
Return
of
so
many
Ships
as
must
be
employed
in
that
Expedition
,
since
they
were
to
go
into
the
Country
of
our
greatest
Enemy
,
and
K.
James
had
a
specious
Pretext
,
as
they
were
his
Subjects
,
to
detain
them
;
they
having
no
Power
to
make
Articles
to
his
prejudice
,
&c.
But
this
is
no
difficult
Business
to
resolve
,
since
they
had
the
publick
Faith
of
the
French
and
Irish
Officers
,
which
is
seldom
or
never
violated
in
such
Cases
;
but
all
Men
,
during
a
Cessation
,
are
commonly
treated
with
the
greatest
Civility
imaginable
:
Besides
which
,
my
Lord
Lucan
and
Major
General
Waughop
gave
the
following
Engagement
under
their
Hands
,
as
did
also
the
two
French
Lieut.
Generals
D'Vssone
and
De
Tessee
,
another
in
French
,
to
the
same
purpose
;
giving
also
Hostages
for
the
better
performance
of
all
Conditions
.
We
,
the
Earl
of
Lucan
,
and
Major
General
Wauhop
,
whose
Names
are
under-written
,
do
hereby
promise
,
1.

3.
That

if
the
said
Ships
do
want
some
Provisions
for
their
Return
here
into
Ireland
,
they
shall
be
supplied
with
all
such
as
they
shall
have
occasion
for
at
the
same
Rates
they
were
furnished
in
Ireland
to
the
Irish
Troops
for
their
Transportation
into
France
,
and
what
they
amount
to
,
shall
be
deducted
out
of
the
Money
that
shall
be
due
for
the
Provisions
that
were
put
on
Board
the
Ships
for
the
said
Troops
.
4.
That
the
Rates
of

be
paid
immediately
after

or
in
Bills
of
Exchange

London

at
15
days

And
if

Honour

months
after
our
Landing
in
case
of
Contravention
,
at
Whitehall
,
in
the
Hands
of

Secretaries

State

In
Witness
whereof

we
have
hereunto
set
our

my
Lord
Lucan
went
from
Lymerick
towards
Cork
,
to
see
things
in
a
readiness
for
the
Irish

Regiments
being
joyned
,
they
march'd
out
,
and
made
in
all
only
618
Men.
As
they
march'd
through
the
Irish-Town
,
their
men
run
away
by
dozens
,
having
the
way
open
for
them
;
nor
could
their
Officers
prevent
it
by
all
their
Care
;
for
they
kept
the
Gates
always
fast
lock'd
,
and
yet
several
from
within
the
Town
made
their
Escapes
by
swimming
the
River

mustered
beyond
the
Town
,
and
so
were
some
others
of
them
on
the
18th
.
and
19th
.
During
which
time
,
our
men
were
employed
in
making
clean
the
Irish
Town
;
Major
General
Talmash
going
often
amongst

,
to
encourage
them
to
work

ended

ANd
now
the
Campaign
being
ended
,
so
that
no
continued
Thread
of
Affairs
can
be
drawn
from
the
Army
,
any
thing
that
has
happen'd
since
may
possibly
not
be
so
acceptable
;
yet
I
hope
it
may
not
be
amiss
to
give
you
some
slender
account
how
things
have
gone
in
that
Kingdom
since
the
Siege
of
Limerick
to
the
time
of
the
Proclamation
for
the
War
's
being
ended
;
though
,
before
I
proceed
further
,
it
will
be
necessary
to
look
back
,
and
bring
the
Actions
done
in
several
other
parts
of
the
Kingdom
,
up
to
the
Armies
removing
from
Limerick
;
which
indeed
may
be
told
in
few
Words
,
since
little
of
moment
cou'd
be
expected
in
any
other
place
,
but
where
the
Seat
of
War
was
fixed
.
In
the
beginning
of
October
,
Sollicitor-General
Levinge
,
and
Sir
Richard
Reves
,
being
appointed
Judges
for
the
Connaught-Circuit
;
because
the
Countrey
was
very
indifferently
inhabited
,
and
not
as
yet
throughly
settled
,
Assizes
were
appointed
to
be
held
for
this
Province
,
only
at
Mullingar
,
Roscommon
,
and
Galway
,
which
was
done
accordingly
:
About
20
Rapparees
were
killed
in
the
Counties
of
Waterford
and
Cork
,
by
some
small
Parties
of
the
Militia
;
and
one
Whitney
,
with
4
more
in
his
Company
,
were
set
upon
,
and
murdered
by
a
Party
of
Rapparees
,
as
they
were
going
towards
the
Queen's
County
,
though
they
killed
two
,
and
wounded
others
before
they
were
seized
.
And
now
those
loose
Fellows
seeing
how
it
was
like
to
go
with
their
Party
,
several
of
them
come
in
under
Protection
,
and
desire
to
serve
their
Majesties
abroad
,
when
they
were
out
of
hopes
to
plunder
their
Subjects
any
longer
at
home
.
All
the
Irish
Prisoners
of
War
that
were
in
Waterford-Gaol
,
Irish
Prisoners
of
War
released
.
being
upwards
of
200
,
were
set
at
liberty
,
as
they
were
afterwards
at
several
other
Places
;
particularly
at
Carigfergus
,
where
15
Officers
,
and
about
60
private
Men
had
been
Prisoners
,
ever
since
the
Rout
at
Cavan
:
and
at
Lambay
,
where
the
Prisoners
,
taken
at
Ballymore
,
were
kept
most
of
this
Summer
;
but
now
were
all
discharged
according
to
the
Capitulation
.
And
as
the
Irish
grew
weary
of
their
former
Courses
on
that
side
of
the
Country
towards
Dublin
,
(
or
rather
being
forced
to
it
when
they
could
no
longer
carry
it
on
,
)
so
they
submitted
apace
in
all
the
Corners
of
the
Kingdom
.
On
the
14th
,
one
whom
they
termed
Colonel
Some
Rapparees
lay
down
thei
Arms.
Burk
,
a
popular
Man
amongst
the
Rapparees
,
with
a
great
many
of
his
Followers
,
came
in
and
submitted
at
Loughrea
in
the
County
of
Galway
.
On
the
same
Day
the
Irish
Horse
,
and
some
Foot
,
March
from
Cashell
towards
Cork
,
the
Prince
of
Hesse
going
along
,
as
well
to
prevent
the
Irish
from
plundering
the
Countrey
,
as
to
hinder
any
little
Quarrels
that
might
happen
between
them
and
our
own
Men
as
they
met
accidentally
upon
the
March
.
On
the
14th
Two
Proclamations
were
Published
by
the
Proclamations
of
Pardon
to
the
rest
.
Lords
Justices
and
Council
,
one
reciting
a
former
Proclamation
,
Dated
the
18th
of
September
,
promising
Pardon
and
Protection
to
all
Robbers
,
Thieves
,
and
Rapparees
,
who
within
a
Month
should
surrender
up
their
Arms
to
any
Justice
of
the
Peace
,
and
take
the
Oath
of
Fidelity
to
Their
Majesties
mentioned
in
the
Articles
of
Limerick
,
requiring
the
Justices
of
the
Peace
to
make
a
return
under
their
Hands
,
of
their
Names
,
places
of
Abode
,
their
Qualities
,
and
Arms
,
but
forbidding
all
protected
Persons
,
and
others
,
to
relieve
,
conceal
,
or
harbour
,
the
said
Robbers
,
who
would
not
submit
;
upon
pain
of
forfeiting
their
own
Protections
,
and
being
prosecuted
with
the
utmost
severity
of
Law
for
such
offence
:
Promising
also
a
Reward
of
Forty
Shillings
to
any
one
that
would
bring
in
the
heads
of
any
such
Rogues
as
would
not
lay
hold
on
this
fair
opportunity
.
By
this
Proclamation
the
time
for
their
coming
in
was
protracted
till
the
Fifth
of
November
.
The
other
Proclamation
was
to
forbid
all
Officers
and
Souldiers
of
the
Army
,
or
others
,
to
do
any
harm
or
injury
to
any
of
the
Irish
,
or
make
any
distinction
of
Nations
,
every
one
that
takes
the
Oath
,
to
be
esteemed
a
Subject
,
and
equally
entitled
to
the
Benefit
of
Their
Majesties
Laws
with
the
rest
,
&c.
By
which
means
all
things
became
so
Calm
on
a
sudden
,
as
if
there
had
been
no
Storm
at
all
in
that
Kingdom
.
Our
Army
are
now
on
their
March
to
their
respective
Winter
Quarters
,
and
those
of
the
Irish
that
came
over
to
us
had
Subsistence
and
Quarters
assigned
them
till
Their
Majesties
pleasure
was
further
known
.
On
the
19th
,
Hogan
,
and
most
of
his
Crew
,
came
in
at
Roscreagh
,
and
had
the
benefit
of
the
Proclamation
,
being
afterwards
allow'd
Twenty
Four
Men
by
the
General
to
suppress
other
Rapparees
upon
occasion
,
tho'
this
was
fatal
to
him
,
for
some
of
that
sort
of
People
Murdered
him
afterwards
.
All
the
Roads
and
other
places
leading
The
Vlster
Irish
return
home
with
their
Cattle
.
from
the
Counties
of
Kerry
and
Clare
towards
the
North
,
are
now
full
of
nothing
but
Creights
,
and
vast
stocks
of
Cattle
driving
homewards
,
which
was
a
little
odd
to
see
,
that
they
would
rather
hazzard
the
loss
of
their
Cattle
by
a
long
March
into
Vlster
,
where
they
had
formerly
robb'd
and
plundered
the
Protestants
,
and
were
like
to
be
called
to
an
Account
for
it
,
at
least
they
could
expect
no
great
encouragement
in
those
places
for
the
future
,
nor
any
assurance
of
their
being
received
as
Tenants
to
their
old
Farms
at
their
return
thither
:
One
would
have
thought
,
I
say
,
these
things
considered
,
that
they
would
rather
have
endeavoured
to
stay
in
the
Counties
of
Kerry
,
Clare
,
and
Limerick
,
where
there
was
Land
enough
for
them
,
and
at
easie
Rates
,
than
to
run
all
hazards
by
going
down
into
the
North
;
but
the
reason
of
this
is
plain
,
for
there
is
so
great
an
Antipathy
between
the
Vlster
Irish
,
and
those
in
other
parts
of
the
Kingdom
,
as
nothing
can
be
more
,
and
the
Feuds
amongst
them
greater
than
between
either
,
and
their
injured
Protestant
Neighbours
,
whose
favour
they
had
hopes
of
gaining
sooner
,
than
the
friendship
of
one
another
,
neither
Party
trusting
other
,
or
ever
desiring
it
to
be
otherways
;
my
Lord
Merion
,
Brigadeer
Clifford
,
Colonel
Henry
Lutterill
,
Baron
Purcell
,
and
a
great
many
more
of
the
Irish
Nobility
and
Gentry
go
towards
Dublin
.
By
the
Articles
of

may

,
and
what
was
only
a
report
before
,
is
now
confirm'd
,
that
they
really
did
come
,
being
Eighteen
Men

,
Four
Fireships
,
and
Twenty
Ships

Burden
,
under
Monsieur
Shalterneau
,
of
which
Monsieur
D'Vssone
gives
notice
to
Major
General
Talmash
,
and
it
was
agreed
to
keep
a
friendly
Correspondence
till
all
matters
relating
to
the
Articles
were
settled
.
The
French

of

Ships

they

And
nigh

time

of

he
sent
away

Express
with
the

Letter
.
Kilkenny
,
October
the
26th
,
1691.
SIR
,
SInce
the
Letter
I
sent
you
last
Night
,
I
find
it
more
To
Sir
Ralph
Delaval
.
and
more
necessary
that
your
Squadron
should
come
round
to
the
Shannon
,
for
the
French
Generals
make
so
many
difficulties
since
the
coming
of
their
Fleet
,
that
they
seem
to
design
nothing
but
delaying
of
time
:
I
must
therefore
again
press
you
to
Sail
to
the
River
as
soon
as
possible
,
and
place
your self
so
,
that
Captain
Coale
and
the
Ships
he
has
with
him
may
join
you
,
to
the
end
,
that
if
the
French
break
the
Articles
we
have
made
,
we
may
be
in
a
Condition
to
do
our selves
right
.
I
am
informed
there
are
several
Frigats
at
Cork
and
Kinsale
,
which
you
'll
please
to
make
use
of
if
you
think
you
shall
have
occasion
for
them
.
The
French
Fleet
is
now
at
Scatterey
.
But
whether
the
Wind
would
not
serve
our
Fleet
's
,
coming
about
to
the
Shannon
,
or
what
other
reasons
there
might
be
,
I
am
a
stranger
to
,
tho'
all
that
the
French
and
Irish
Officers
insisted
on
after
the
coming
of
their
Fleet
,
was
only
to
have
a
Clause
confirmed
that
was
casually
omitted
in
the
Articles
which
the
General
promised
them
,
and
Their
Majesties
were
pleased
afterwards
to
Condescend
to
.
For
it
being
late
at
Night
when
the
Articles
were
agreed
to
,
and
they
Engrossed
in
haste
this
Clause
,
And
all
such
as
are
under
their
protection
in
the
said
Counties
,
was
omitted
by
the
Engrosser
,
tho'
it
was
certainly
inserted
in
the
foul
Draught
.
This
was
what
the
Irish
Officers
desired
might
be
made
good
after
the
coming
of
the
French
Fleet
:
And
first
it
was
but
reasonable
,
seeing
it
was
within
the
intent
of
the
Articles
.
Secondly
,
It
was
Prudence
not
to
deny
it
,
since
the
French
Fleet
being
Eighteen
Men
of
War
,
Four
Fireships
,
and
Twenty
Ships
of
Burden
were
certainly
too
hard
for
Captain
Coal
and
his
Squadron
then
in
the
Shannon
,
and
might
have
put
what
Men
and
Provisions
they
pleased
into
the
English
Town
,
our
Army
also
being
gone
to
Quarters
,
we
had
only
Five
Regiments
in
the
Irish
Town
,
with
my
Lord
Drogheda's
,
and
my
Lord
Lisburn's
,
Encamp'd
without
the
Walls
.
Provisions
also
were
so
scarce
with
us
,
that
our
Men
had
only
a
Pint
of
Meal
a
Day
allowed
them
,
and
the
Irish
in
the
other
Town
were
not
only
more
in
number
,
but
better
provided
,
so
that
if
Justice
could
not
have
obliged
the
General
to
the
Confirmation
of
that
Clause
,
yet
discretion
at
that
Juncture
would
.
In
a
Day
or
Two
after
the
Articles
were
Signed
,
we
had
News
that
the
French
Fleet
was
come
to
Dingle
Bay
,
with
Ammunition
and
all
sorts
of
Provisions
for
the
Relief
of
the
Town
,
this
made
the
Irish
Great
Officers
hang
their
Heads
,
to
think
they
should
so
easily
part
with
a
place
of
that
importance
,
or
rather
,
how
they
could
Answer
it
to
the
French
King
,
who
had
been
at
all
that
expence
and
hazard
in
order
to
their
Relief
,
but
the
opportunity
was
lost
in
doing
it
no
sooner
,
which
some
have
look'd
upon
since
as
one
of
the
falsest
steps
made
in
France
of
a
long
time
,
our
King
being
now
at
leisure
to
visit
them
,
instead
of
their
supporting
his
Enemies
in
Ireland
.
And
tho'
the
French
Fleet
came
too
late
to
Relieve
the
Some
Objections
against
the
Articles
of
Limerick
Answered
.
Town
,
yet
I
hope
it
may
not
be
impertinent
to
endeavour
the
Answering
some
Objections
that
have
been
since
made
against
the
Capitulations
of
Limerick
:
As
if
the
Lords
Justices
and
the
General
had
condescended
too
far
in
granting
the
Irish
any
Terms
at
all
,
at
least
such
as
they
did
,
which
put
them
into
a
Condition
of
Revolting
again
whensoever
an
opportunity
offered
it self
.
That
therefore
Providence
seem'd
now
to
have
given
the
Irish
up
,
as
the
Barbarous
Nations
were
formerly
to
the
Jews
,
and
that
if
this
occasion
was
neglected
,
of
putting
it
out
of
their
power
for
ever
hereafter
to
endanger
the
English
Interest
:
Or
if
it
was
not
made
a
right
use
of
,
(
by
which
they
understood
destroying
of
them
Root
and
Branch
,
)
then
we
might
certainly
expect
,
that
all
the
Expence
and
Blood
it
has
cost
England
in
their
Reduction
,
will
in
a
small
time
signifie
nothing
;
since
it
's
observed
,
that
the
Irish
of
themselves
are
a
sloathful
People
,
naturally
inclined
to
Spoil
,
Rapine
,
Stealth
,
and
Oppression
,
bred
in
no
Trades
,
Manufactures
,
or
other
ways
of
Civil
Industry
,
to
live
by
in
times
of
Peace
,
wherein
they
never
did
,
nor
can
endure
to
continue
long
,
loving
always
a
savage
and
unbridled
kind
of
Life
:
And
therefore
when
one
opportunity
is
neglected
of
destroying
them
,
it
will
be
the
Justice
of
God
to
make
them
afterwards
the
Instruments
of
our
punishment
,
as
they
have
been
hitherto
.
And
thus
Argue
a
great
many
People
of
that
Countrey
,
who
pretend
good
experience
,
and
that
very
lately
,
for
what
they
say
.
But
as
to
those
Comparisons
between
us
and
the
Jews
,
the
Irish
,
and
the
Barbarous
Nations
formerly
Inhabiting
Judea
,
there
can
be
no
just
proportion
made
to
draw
any
reasonable
Conclusions
from
,
since
the
Irish
are
Christians
as
well
as
we
,
tho'
misled
and
abused
in
a
great
many
points
,
and
have
a
natural
right
to
their
Countrey
,
which
several
of
them
have
never
forfeited
by
any
Rebellions
,
how
forward
soever
others
may
have
been
.
And
for
my
own
part
I
must
own
my self
of
the
Opinion
,
that
any
Policy
that
is
founded
in
Blood
,
and
tends
to
the
destruction
of
Mankind
,
is
not
so
warrantable
by
the
Law
of
God
,
as
some
people
endeavour
to
make
it
,
excepting
that
one
Instance
of
the
Jews
which
is
no
precedent
to
any
other
People
:
And
what
means
soever
may
be
used
for
the
procuring
of
Unity
,
or
Settlement
,
in
a
Countrey
,
Men
must
at
the
same
time
be
careful
not
to
deface
and
dissolve
the
Bonds
of
Christian
Charity
;
nay
,
of
humane
Society
,
since
acting
the
contrary
,
is
but
to
dash
the
second
Table
against
the
first
;
and
so
to
consider
others
as
of
this
or
that
Persuasion
,
and
treat
them
ill
upon
that
account
,
is
to
forget
that
they
are
Men
(
as
my
Lord
Bacon
has
formerly
observed
;
)
And
indeed
to
me
it
seems
full
as
unreasonable
to
destroy
other
People
,
purely
because
they
cannot
think
as
we
do
,
as
it
is
for
one
man
to
ruine
another
,
because
the
outward
Figure
and
Shape
of
his
Body
is
not
the
same
with
his
own
.
Nor
can
I
imagine
that
the
destruction
of
those
men
,
if
they
really
had
been
in
our
power
,
could
any
way
have
contributed
either
to
the
profit
or
further
advancement
of
the
Interest
of
that
Country
,
since
the
Act
of
Settlement
of
the
Crown
of
England
upon
their
present
Majesties
,
very
deliberately
provides
,
That
no
Papist
,
or
any
one
marrying
a
Papist
,
shall
for
ever
hereafter
be
capable
to
inherit
the
Imperial
Crowns
of
these
Kingdoms
.
And
the
late
swearing
Act
relating
to
Ireland
,
entituled
,
An
Act
for
abrogating
the
Oaths
of
Allegiance
and
Supremacy
in
Ireland
,
and
appointing
other
new
ones
,
are
both
very
considerable
Advantages
to
the
Protestant
Interest
in
that
Kingdom
;
and
no
doubt
,
it
will
be
easier
for
the
Government
to
observe
,
and
keep
their
part
of
those
Articles
,
than
for
the
Irish
themselves
to
do
their
duty
;
which
will
be
seen
in
time
;
and
there
are
other
convenient
Maxims
to
be
observed
;
which
,
being
things
out
of
my
way
,
I
do
not
pretend
to
consider
them
;
what
I
have
to
offer
upon
this
Head
,
being
rather
Matter
of
Fact
than
Argument
,
and
that
by
comparing
the
state
of
the
Irish
at
Lymerick
,
and
other
Places
of
the
Kingdom
,
at
the
making
of
these
Articles
;
with
their
Condition
at
their
surrendring
up
all
in
the
former
Wars
.
In
the
former
Wars
of
Ireland
,
the
City
of
Lymerick
was
surrendered
to
Ireton
on
the
29th
.
of
October
1651
,
upon
severe
Articles
;
the
Governour
,
the
Titular
Bishop
of
Lymerick
,
and
twelve
more
being
excepted
by
name
,
and
some
of
these
were
afterwards
executed
;
but
during
the
Siege
,
the
Irish
lost
5000
men
,
of
whom
the
Plague
destroyed
many
more
than
the
Sword
;
1300
only
marched
out
,
and
about
4000
Irish
remained
within
.

Then
Galway
was
surrendered
on
the
12th
.
of
May
following
,
to
Sir
Charles
Coot
;
and
on
the
27th
.
of
June
,
Major
General
Ludlow
frighted
the
Garrison
of
Ross
in
Kerry
,
into
a
Surrender
,
by
a
small
Vessel
that
he
was
bringing
over
the
Hills
to
put
into
the
Lough
that
surrounds
Ross-Castle
.
Rosscommon
and
James-Town
had
surrendred
to
Col.
Reynolds
on
the
27th
.
of
April
before
,
and
Inchylough
surrendred
to
Col.
Zanchy
on
the
first
of
August
,
at
what
time
the
Lords
of
Westmeath
and
Muskery
,
O
Connor
Roe
,
Sir
Francis
Talbot
,
Sir
William
Dungan
,
and
,
several
others
submitted
upon
those
Conditions
,
That
they
should
abide
a
Trial
for
the
Murders
committed
in
the
beginning
of
the
Rebellion
,
and
those
that
only
assisted
in
the
War
,
were
to
forfeit
two
Thirds
of
their
Estates
,
and
to
be
banished
.
And
what
I
would
further
observe
,
is
this
,
That
when
the
General
Assembly
of
the
Popish
Clergy
,
and
others
,
at
Loughreagh
,
desired
the
then
Marquess
of
Ormend's
leave
to
treat
with
the
Enemy
for
the
Nation
in
general
,
at
the
Surrender
of
Galway
,
Cromwel's
Army
positively
refused
it
;
being
resolved
not
to
admit
of
any
Treaty
for
the
whole
;
but
those
that
would
capitulate
,
should
do
it
only
for
themselves
,
or
the
Towns
and
Places
they
respectively
belonged
to
:
By
which
means
tho'
the
Town
of
Galway
was
the
last
considerable
one
that
was
surrendered
;
being
on
the
12th
.
of
May
1652.
yet
it
was
the
26th
.
of
September
1653.
before
it
was
declared
That
the
Rebels
were
subdued
,
and
the
Rebellion
appeased
and
ended
.
And
though
His
Majesties
Proclamation
about
the
ending
of
this
present
War
,
was
nigh
six
Months
after
the
Surrender
of
Lymerick
,
yet
this
was
deferred
,
only
with
respect
to
the
poverty
of
the
Country
,
in
forgiving
the
Kingdom
half
a
years
Quit-Rents
,
and
had
not
the
least
relation
to
any
appearance
of
a
further
Disturbance
,
as
appears
by
the
Proclamation
it self
.
Now
if
Lymerick
had
been
no
stronger
Town
when
we
last
besieged
it
,
than
it
was
some
time
after
the
first
Conquest
of
Ireland
,
when
Earl
Reymond
,
Son-in-Law
to
Strongbow
,
and
General
of
the
Army
,
with
David
Walsh
,
and
others
,
swam
into
the
King's
Island
;
who
taking
the
City
(
without
any
sort
of
Cannon
)
and
plundering
it
,
they
left
a
Garrison
of
their
own
men
there
;
or
indeed
if
it
had
been
in
no
better
condition
than
in
the
former
Wars
,
when
there
appeared
nothing
like
Works
without
the
Walls
themselves
;
or
if
the
Irish
People
were
no
better
skill'd
in
Arms
now
,
than
they
have
been
heretofore
,
even
in
the
late
times
,
being
most
of
them
rather
a
confused
Rabble
,
than
any
thing
that
deserved
the
Name
of
an
Army
;
then
it
had
been
a
Reflection
upon
an
Army
so
well
disciplin'd
,
and
in
so
good
order
as
ours
was
,
not
to
have
humbled
them
without
any
Terms
:
But
besides
the
natural
strength
of
its
Situation
,
Lymerick
is
now
improved
by
Art
to
that
degree
,
that
it
is
very
much
stronger
than
it
was
when
we
laid
Siege
to
it
the
former
year
,
the
Enemy
with
extraordinary
diligence
and
industry
having
since
that
,
cast
up
very
strong
new
Works
round
the
Irish
Town
with
great
Improvements
in
the
King's
Island
,
and
elsewhere
.
And
the
Irish
had
not
only
the
Advantages
of
being
train'd
up
to
the
use
of
Arms
by
my
Lord
Tyrconnel
,
and
serving
in
an
Army
for
some
years
past
,
but
several
of
them
have
been
abroad
in
foreign
Service
,
besides
the
being
for
the
most
part
in
Action
during
the
three
Campagnes
in
Ireland
;
and
Custom
it self
,
is
,
no
doubt
of
it
,
one
Point
of
Courage
.
But
those
who
ever
read
the
Story
of
Noteburg
,
will
not
wonder
at
this
Capitulation
;
this
(
they
say
)
is
a
Town
built
in
an
Island
at
the
Entrance
of
the
Lake
Lagoda
,
made
by
the
Muscovites
,
and
encompassed
with
a
strong
W●ll
against
the
Attempts
of
the
Suedes
;
it
standing
upon
their
Frontiers
:
This
the
Suedes
took
under
the
Command
of
James
De
la
Garde
,
but
not
till
the
Extremities
of
the
Siege
;
and
a
contageous
Disease
had
consumed
the
whole
Garrison
to
two
Men
,
who
yet
made
a
very
advantageous
Capitulation
.

and
Russia
.
And
as
to
the
Irish
,
it
must
needs
be
acknowledged
that
they
never
had
formerly
so
fair
a
Pretext
as
now
;
nor
had
they
ever
been
so
unanimous
(
since
in
the
late
Wars
they
had
at
least
three
different
Armies
on
Foot
at
the
same
time
)
they
had
now
also
the
Assistance
and
Encouragement
of
France
,
which
is
without
question
at
present
one
of
the
most
powerful
Interests
in
the
World
;
and
if
they
had
held
out
till
the
following
Winter
,
they
must
needs
have
much
fatigued
our
Army
,
by
continual
Alarms
and
Watchings
,
besides
other
Difficulties
that
would
have
attended
us
in
a
Blockade
,
in
which
there
's
no
subsisting
without
continual
Supplies
of
Money
,
Ammunition
,
and
Victuals
;
and
especially
near
such
a
place
as
Limerick
then
was
,
the
Countrey
thereabouts
being
ruined
and
exhausted
in
continuing
the
Seat
of
War
for
two
Campaigns
;
so
that
abstracting
from
the
deepness
of
the
Soil
,
and
the
sharpness
of
the
Winter
,
as
it
afterwards
proved
,
unless
we
had
been
full
as
carefully
supplied
with
Necessaries
as
ever
we
had
been
formerly
,
the
whole
Design
had
been
still
in
hazard
,
besides
the
loss
of
Time
and
Treasure
.
And
though
we
had
passed
the
River
;
yet
we
were
still
as
far
from
entring
the
Town
as
ever
.
What
might
have
been
done
some
time
before
,
I
am
no
competent
Judge
of
;
but
since
the
Irish
had
it
still
in
their
Power
to
give
us
the
Town
,
or
keep
it
to
themselves
,
I
see
no
Reason
why
they
ought
not
to
make
a
Bargain
for
it
,
and
expect
the
performance
of
their
Contract
,
which
Their
Majesties
have
been
graciously
pleased
to
ratifie
under
the
Great
Seal
of
England
.
It
may
rationally
be
here
demanded
,
why
the
Irish
would
treat
with
us
for
the
Town
,
since
they
had
full
as
many
Foot
within
as
we
had
in
our
Army
without
;
and
and
notwithstanding
all
the
Stories
told
us
by
Deserters
about
the
scarcity
of
Provisions
,
they
had
a
quantity
of
the
finest
French
Bisket
I
ever
tasted
,
sufficient
for
the
whole
Garrison
for
two
Months
;
some
of
which
I
saw
;
and
Commissary-General
Aspole
assured
my self
and
some
other
Friends
,
that
they
had
the
rest
:
Upon
which
I
asked
him
the
reason
of
giving
us
the
Town
?
And
his
Reply
was
,
That
if
they
had
been
driven
by
necessity
to
yield
,
they
must
then
have
accepted
what
Terms
we
had
pleased
to
give
them
;
but
since
they
were
not
,
they
had
stood
upon
such
as
were
for
the
Advantage
of
their
whole
Party
.
But
the
Truth
of
it
is
,
the
Irish
were
either
weary
of
the
War
,
or
jealous
of
one
another
,
or
it
may
be
both
;
it
being
no
ill
Policy
on
our
side
to
foment
their
differences
,
and
make
their
private
Quarrels
advance
our
Publick
Service
.
And
as
for
what
happen'd
at
this
Juncture
,
it
's
certain
that
the
French
Lieutenant-Generals
were
jealous
of
the
Irish
betraying
,
or
,
at
least
,
forsaking
them
:
And
't
is
without
question
they
used
their
Interest
,
in
persuading
the
Irish
to
hold
out
till
Relief
came
;
for
they
knew
,
considering
all
things
,
it
had
been
very
improper
for
us
to
endeavour
the
forcing
the
Town
by
a
Breach
.
But
I
imagine
Monsieur
D'Vssone's
Case
now
was
much
the
same
,
as
that
of
Don
John
de
Aquila
at
Kinsale
,
in
the
Year
,
1601.
who
finding
the
Town
was
like
to
be
lost
;
and
that
instead
of
conquering
a
Kingdom
,
his
Men
and
himself
were
like
to
become
a
Prey
to
the
Enemy
:
He
then
desires
a
parley
with
the
Lord-Deputy
,
wherein
he
mentions
,
that
having
found
his
Lordship
,
though
a
sharp
and
powerful
Antagonist
,
yet
an
honourable
and
generous
Enemy
;
and
the
Irish
not
only
weak
and
barbarous
,
but
(
as
he
feared
)
perfidious
Friends
,
he
therefore
desired
to
depart
upon
such
Terms
,
befitting
such
Men
of
War
,
as
are
not
by
necessity
enforced
to
receive
Conditions
,
but
willingly
induced
for
just
Respects
to
disengage
themselves
,
and
to
relinquish
a
People
by
whom
their
King
and
Master
had
been
so
notoriously
abused
,
if
not
betray'd
.

And
its
probable
,
that
upon
some
such
Motives
as
those
,
Monsieur
D'Vssone
consented
to
the
Irish
Capitulations
,
though
we
heard
afterwards
that
the
French
King
was
so
far
from
thanking
him
for
it
,
that
after
some
publick
Indignities
he
sent
him
to
the
Bastile
.
I
humbly
therefore
am
of
Opinion
,
that
the
Lords-Justices
and
the
General
did
nothing
in
this
Affair
without
Command
,
or
,
at
least
,
Instructions
from
Their
Majesties
;
and
that
it
was
neither
inconsistent
with
the
Rules
of
Prudence
or
Policy
,
to
grant
the
Irish
what
Terms
they
did
,
which
for
the
future
may
help
to
moderate
the
Passions
of
some
sort
of
People
.
Nor
were
the
Lords-Justices
Proclamations
for
the
bringing
in
of
the
Rapparees
and
others
,
not
included
in
the
Articles
less
seasonable
,
since
by
this
means
the
Kingdom
became
so
calm
and
quiet
all
on
a
sudden
,
that
within
one
Fortnight
after
our
Army
was
removed
from
Limerick
,
a
Man
might
have
travelled
alone
through
that
whole
Kingdom
,
and
that
with
as
great
Safety
as
through
any
part
of
England
;
but
if
this
had
been
delayed
,
and
the
reducing
those
Scamperers
attempted
altogether
by
force
,
pray
let
it
be
remembred
how
securely
the
Banditto's
of
Italy
have
November
1691.
lived
between
the
Power
of
the
King
of
Spain
,
and
that
of
the
Pope
,
and
how
many
Men
in
all
Countries
have
prospered
in
doing
mischief
;
but
especially
in
Ireland
where
there
are
so
many
Difficulties
to
march
an
Army
,
and
the
Irish
so
well
acquainted
with
the
Boggs
and
other
Fastnesses
,
that
it
is
impossible
to
beat
them
sooner
out
of
one
place
than
they
'll
out-strip
you
to
another
,
being
by
constant
practice
extremely
well
skilled
in
making
use
of
those
Advantages
;
but
the
aforesaid
Articles
,
and
Proclamations
have
remedied
all
those
Inconveniences
,
and
that
Kingdom
never
enjoyed
a
more
profound
Peace
than
at
present
,
since
every
Insurrection
when
it
is
subdued
,
makes
an
Addition
to
the
Power
of
the
Government
.
But
I
'm
afraid
a
good
Cause
may
suffer
by
ill
management
;
and
therefore
as
to
my
business
.
Towards
the
latter
end
of
October
,
we
had
an
Account
of
his
Majesty's
safe
Arrival
in
England
from

,
and
that
the
English
Parliament
met
on
the

Prorogation

Town
of

,
and
our
Men

possession
of
it
.
The
last
of
the
Irish
quit
the
English
Town
.
A
great
many
of
the
Irish
were
shipp'd
in
the
River
,
some
on
Board
the
French
Fleet
,
and
others
in
some
of
our
Transport-Ships
:
The
number
shipp'd
in
the
River
,
and
that
march'd
towards
Cork
this
last
time
,
is
said
to
be
5650.
But
those
that
march'd
by
Land
,
several
of
them
deserted
upon
the
Road
,
notwithstanding
the
care
of
the
Irish
Officers
to
secure
them
;
for
they
begun
to
be
sensible
of
the
kind
Treatment
of
those
that
were
already
returned
home
,
and
were
sorry
to
quit
a
Country
they
saw
already
so
peaceable

threatned
them
from

Enemy

that
aimed
at
nothing
less
than
the
total
Extirpation
of
the
Protestant
Religion
,
and
English
Interest
in
this
Kingdom
to
the
tyrannical
and
slavish
Government
of
the
French

And
finding
themselves
by
your
Excellencies
Courage

Conduct
,
not
only
delivered
from
those
their
just
Fears
,
but
placed
in
view
of
a
lasting
Peace
and
Security
.
And
being
zealous
to
express
as
much
of
their
Gratitude
as
their
present
Circumstances
will
permit
,
they
are
unanimously
come
to
congratulate
your
Excellency
on
your
great
Success
;
and
to
assure
your
Excellency
,
that
tho'
they
have
many
Grievances
to
place
to
the
Account
of
that
Enemy
you
have
so
gloriously
subdued
;
yet
there
are
none
they

,
than
the
having
rendered
them
unable

raise
to

Memory
those

their
Obligations
challenge
;
yet
what
will
be
wanting

,
they
will
endeavour
to
make
up
by
their
perpetual
Applications
to

shou'd
the

of

so
far
ungrateful

as
to
forget
what
your

has
done

the
Preservation
of
the
Protestant
Religion
,
and
publick
Liberty
of
Europe
,
this
City
will
,
while

stone
stands

in

,
perpetuate
to
Posterity
the
glorious
Actions
you
have
performed
this
Campaign

To
which
the
General
made
return
,
that
he
was
extremely
sensible
of

Honours

Kindness

he

more

they
all
spoke
well
of
the
French
Treatment
of
them
in
accommodating
them
with
several
Necessaries
which
they
extreamly
wanted
;
but
that
the
Irish
did
not
find
themselves
so
very
welcome
as
they
expected
to
have
been
;
though
at
their
Landing
an
Express
was
sent
to
the
late
King
to
St.
Germains
,
to
give
him
an
Account
of
it
;
he
seemed
to
be
very
well
pleased
with

coming

to

;
and
of
the
necessities
which
forced
the
Lords
Justices
,
and
the
General
Officers
of
our
Forces
thereunto
:
We
will
not
defer
to
let
you
know
,
and
the
rest
of
the
Officers
that
came
along
with
you
,
that
we
are
extreamly
Satisfied
with
your
and
their
Conduct
,
and
of
the
Valour
of
the
Souldiers
during
the
Siege
,
but
most
Particularly
,
of
your
and
their
Declaration
and
Resolution
to
come
and
Serve
where
we
are
:
And
we
assure
you
,
and
Order
you
,
to
assure
both
Officers

Souldiers
that
are
come
along
with
you
,
that
we
shall
never
forget
this
Act

Loyalty

In

you

by

if
we
find
that
a
Considerable
number
is
come
with

,
it
will
induce
Vs
to
go
Personally
to
see
them
,
and
Regiment
them
;
Our
Brother
the
King
of
France
,
hath
already
given
Orders
to
Cloath
them
,
and
furnish

with
all
necessaries

But
how
good
soever
the
Late
King's
Intentions
towards
Their
Reception
in
France
.
his
Irish
might
be
,
yet
it
was
,
and
is
,
the
French
King
who
Orders
every
thing
in
his
own
Dominions
as
he
Pleases
;
nor
had
the
French
any
good
opinion
of
the
Irish
at
their
Landing
,
as
appeared
by
the
Quarters
of
Refreshment
assigned
them
,
which
were
at
first
only
the
Lanes
and
Hedges
about
Brest
,
not
admitting
any
of
them
into
the
City
;
and
at
the
same
time
this
Letter
was
sent
from
the
Late
King
,
there
came
Orders
from
his
Brother
of
France
,
to
Reduce
all
or
most
of
the
Irish
Officers
,
the
Colonels
to
Captains
,
and
the
Captains
to
Lieutenants
,
and
Ensigns
and
the
Subalterns
,
to
Sergeants
or
private
Centinels
;
and
no
wonder
,
for
,
what
ever
the
Irish
might
hope
for
before
their
departure
,
yet
it
was
very
improbable
,
that
they
,
who
only
were
put
into
such
Posts
in
Ireland
upon
point
of
necessity
,
because
they
could
get
no
better
,
should
be
continued
so
in
France
,
which
is
one
of
the
most
Warlike
and
Refin'd
Nations
in
the
World
;
however
,
this
ill
Treatment
(
as
the
Irish
took
it
to
be
)
did
so
exasperate
them
,
that
several
would
gladly
have
returned
into
Ireland
,
and
offered
largely
for
their
Passage
,
but
were
prevented
by
the
strict
Guards
that
were
set
upon
them
:
But
they
wrote
to
several
of
their
Friends
in
Ireland
,
giving
an
Account
of
their
severe
usage
,
which
made
several
Desert
from
my
Lord
Lucan
that
were
not
as
yet
gone
,
as
more
would
have
done
,
had
he
not
soon
after
this
Advice
put
them
on
Ship-Board
.
One
of
those
Letters
sent
from
France
after
their
first
Landing
;
since
it
gives
a
full
Account
of
their
Reception
and
Usage
,
I
think
it
worth
my
Pains
to
Transcribe
.
SIR
,
NEver
People
that
left
their
All
,
to
come
hither
to
Serve
,
were
so
meanly
received
,
as
those
miserable
Irish
were
here
;
they
have
been
much
longer
than
necessary
in
Disimbarking
them
,
and
will
be
at
least
Three
days
more
,
though
the
Intendant
has
been
pressed
with
great
earnestness
to
take
them
a
Shoar
;
when
they
are
Landed
they
lye
in
the
Fields
a
Night
or
two
at
least
,
before
they
are
sent
into
their
Quarters
,
and
then
they
get
neither
Money
nor
Cloaths
,
and
but
little
of
any
thing
else
.
The
Major
Generals
are
made
Colonels
,
the
Colonels
Captains
,
the
Majors
Lieutenants
,
and
the
Captains
Serjeants
,
and
many
of
them
but
Private
Men
,
insomuch
,
that
as
I
pass
along
the
Streets
,
the
Souldiers
wish
they
had
died
in
Ireland
before
they
came
here
,
and
many
of
the
Officers
express
themselves
to
the
same
purpose
,
and
are
extreamly
dejected
and
melancholly
;
some
of
them
hope
this
will
be
Regulated
,
tho'
I
see
no
great
reason
for
it
,
for
this
day
there
came
a
frivolous
Complaint
against
some
of
Colonel
Nugent
's
Men
,
and
the
Intendant
threatned
to
break
him
for
it
;
and
I
do
not
doubt
but
he
'll
be
as
good
as
his
word
in
a
short
time
.
For
upon
all
occasions
he
uses
their
Officers
with
the
greatest
Insolence
and
Contempt
imaginable
.
Some
of
them
having
complained
and
told
him
they
hoped
to
have
been
advanced
here
,
rather
than
thus
reform'd
;
he
told
them
,
if
they
did
not
like
it
,
they
might
go
back
,
the
Ships
were
in
the
Harbour
that
brought
them
;
tho'
at
the
same
time
the
Owners
on
Board
the
Transport
Ships
were
ordered
not
to
take
any
of
them
on
Board
again
,
upon
pain
of
Death
.
This
is
all
matter
of
Fact
,
and
a
great
deal
more
such
usages
they
meet
with
,
too
tedious
to
relate
,
&c.

several

with
great
difficulty

and
the
Courts
daily
throng'd

'till
the

Great

The

and
on

,
my

were
Shipp'd

,
near

.
A
Declaration
was
Publish'd
by
the
Lords
Justices
,
A

or
any

The

And
nigh

broke
,
where
any
such
were
found
.
A
great
Frost
began
January
the
19th
,
and
is
now
so
violent
,
that
Multitudes
of
the
poor
People
,
(
and
especially
of
the
Irish
)
perish
for
Cold
:
The
Lords
Justices
,
and
Council
,
very
Charitably
order
all
the
Poor
then
in
and
about
the
City
of
Dublin
,
to
be
taken
up
,
and
put
into

Convenient
Houses
,
being
in
all
640
odd
,
who
were
provided
for
with
Meat
,
and
Fire
;
without
which
Care
,
several
hundreds
must
have
perished
in
the
Streets
:
And
yet
a
great
many
of
them
had
been
so
used
to
that
Trade
of
Begging
,
that
the
being
provided
for
with
Necessaries
,
and
Confin'd
to
a
Place
,
was
uneasie
to
them
;
so
that
several
stole
out
,
and
fell
to
Begging
again
.
But
this
Charitable
Care
was
not
taken
in
other
parts
of
the
Kingdom
;
so
that
a
Man
might
every
where
see
a
great
many
Objects
of
Pity
,
and
Misery
,
and
they
continue
so
to
this
very
day
.
Some
time
before
this
,
the
Danes
were
Shipp'd
,
as
is
said
,
having
four
Men
of
War
,
and
46
other
Vessels
to
Transport
them
;
but
being
driven
back
by
contrary
Winds
,
and
kept
in
the
Harbour
by
stress
of
weather
,
a
new
supply
of
Provisions
was
Ordered
them
.
Two
Proclamations
were
Publish'd
at
Dublin
;
one
Commanding
all
Persons
that
were
not
qualified
by
the
Articles
of
Limerick
,
and
Galway
,
(
which
were
Noble-Men
,
and
Gentlemen
,
who
were
House-keepers
,
and
have
Estates
of
Freehold
,
of
one
Hundred
Pounds
a
year
;
which
by
the
said
Proclamation
was
declared
to
be
the
qualification
of
the
Persons
Compriz'd
in
the
said
Articles
.
)
to
deliver
up
their
Arms
of
all
sorts
,
before
the
Tenth
of
March
,
and
if
they
failed
therein
,
to
be
prosecuted
with
the
utmost
severity
of
Law
.
And
whosoever
shou'd
discover
any
Fire
Arms
so
detain'd
,
after
the
10th
of
March
,
shou'd
have
Ten
Shillings
Reward
,
February
.
1692.
and
Five
Shillings
for
every
discovery
of
other
Arms
,
to
be
paid
him
by
the
Sheriff
of
the
City
,
or
Justice
of
the
Peace
,
to
whom
such
Discovery
shou'd
be
made
;
the
same
to
be
repaid
by
the
Sheriff
of
the
County
,
and
allowed
in
his
Accounts
in
the
Exchequer
.
And
the
Persons
in
whose
Custody
such
Arms
are
found
,
shall
lose
the
benefit
of
the
said
Articles
,
and
be
bound
over
to
the
next
Assizes
,
or
Sessions
which
shall
first
happen
.
And
all
Persons
who
had
Arms
before
the
first
day
of
November
last
,
being
not
qualified
to
keep
them
,
and
shall
not
give
a
satisfactory
Account
how
they
have
disposed
of
them
,
shall
be
look'd
upon
as
guilty
of
a
Contempt
against
the
said
Proclamation
.
And
the
Sheriffs
of
the
respective
Counties
were
to
give
an
Account
from
time
to
time
of
what
Arms
were
brought
in
to
the
Clerk
of
the
Council
,
or
his
Deputy
.
And
that
all
Persons
that
were
qualify'd
to
keep
Arms
,
might
wear
the
same
,
without
being
affronted
,
or
have
the
same
taken
from
them
on
any
pretence
;
each
Person
was
to
apply
himself
to
the
Lords
Justices
for
a
License
for
that
purpose
,
which
was
to
be
granted
without
any
Fee
or
Reward
whatever
.
Which
Proclamation
was
to
be
publish'd
three
Market-days
successsively
,
in
each
Town
in
Ireland
,
and
then
affixed
.
Dated
the
4th
of
February
.
1691/2.
The
other
Proclamation
was
to
forbid
all
Justices
of
the
Peace
,
Mayors
,
Sheriffs
,
and
other
Magistrates
whatever
to
presume
so
far
upon
their
Authority
,
as
to
meddle
with
the
Property
,
Right
,
Title
,
or
Possession
of
the
Estate
or
Goods
of
any
of
Their
Majesties
Subjects
,
other
than
as
by
due
Course
of
Law
they
are
required
,
or
can
justifie
.
By
which
Proclamation
,
some
of
the
Irish
that
had
been
wronged
,
were
set
to
rights
,
and
satisfied
;
tho'
they
were
not
so
forward
in
obeying

former

delivering
up
their
Arms

very
small
return
being
made
through
the
whole
Kingdom
,
they
keeping
as
yet
some
thousands
of
all
sorts
of
Arms
still
concealed
,
which
I
hope
will
effectually
be
taken
care
of
in
time
.
The
weather
was
now
so
violent
,
that
the
Adventure
of
London
was
cast
away
going
to
Dublin
,
and
several
other
Ships
lost
in
and
about
that
Bay
.
And
the
Swallow

of
Their

Ships
,
was
forced

nigh
Charles-Fort
at
Kingsale
,

there

A

Intituled

An

the

Security

Kingdom
of
Ireland
shou'd
be

and
the
War

Rebellion
there

We
have
now
,
pursuant

,
the
Third

of
March
,
1691/2.
in
the
Fourth
Year
of
Our
Reign
.
God
save
the
King
and
Queen
.
After
which
time
little
of
moment
happened
,
save
March
.
1692.
that
the
Lords
Justices
,
by
Directions
from
Their
Majesties
,
appointed
a
time
for
those
that
pretended
to
the
Benefit
of
the
Articles
of
Limerick
or
Galway
,
to
give
in
their
Names
,
and
make
good
their
claims
by
the
20th
of
February
,
which
time
was
,
by
Proclamation
,
enlarged
to
the
first
of
April
,
and
afterwards
to
the
15th
.
Wednesday
the
sixth
of
April
was
appointed
the
first
Day
to
begin
upon
those
Claims
,
all
those
concerned
being
to
enter
their
Names
sometime
before
,
with
the
Clerk
of
the
Council
;
which
Names
were
to
be
posted
up
,
at
least
,
ten
Days
before
their
Cause
was
to
be
heard
,
their
Claims
being
to
be
made
out
by
at

three
Credible
Witnesses
,
one

Accordingly
on
the
sixth
of
April
the
Council
met
upon
this
Affair
,
and
continued
every
Monday
,
Wednesday
,
and
Friday
,
so
to
do
;
which
was
a
much
easier
way
,
and
more
to
the
Interest
and
Advantage
of
the
Irish
,
than
any
Court
of
Claims
erected
only
for

in

England
or
Scotland
,
at
this
juncture
very
improbable
.
A
Remark
upon
the
last
that
endeavour'd
it
.
I
Have
now
given
you
all
that
I
know
of
this
last
unhappy
Irish
Wars
,
that
is
fit
at
this
juncture
to
be
sent
to
the
Press
.
And
it
's
more
possibly
than
some
Men
will
thank
me
for
,
or
yet
the
following
Remarks
that
I
am
going
to
make
upon
the
Affairs
of
that
Kingdom
,
and
its
present
Circumstances
;
upon
which
,
if
any
please
to
throw
away
another
half
Hour
,
tho'
they
find
nothing
worth
taking
notice
of
:
Yet
I
hope
they
'll
have
no
Reason
to
be
angry
,
since
Opinion
in
things
indifferent
is
free
to
all
Men
:
And
we
have
no
better
way
to
conjecture
what
may
be
hereafter
,
than
by
comparing
our
thoughts
of
it
with
what
now
is
,
and
formerly
has
been
.
Ireland
,
next
to
Great
Brittain
,
is
the
greatest
Island
The
Circumference
of
Ireland
.
in
Europe
,
esteemed
by
Sir
William
Petty
at
Ten
Millions
Five
Hundred
Thousand
Irish
Acres
,
and
by
others
at
Ten
Millions
Eight
Hundred
and
Sixty
Eight
Thousand
Acres
,
which
they
reckon
to
be
above
17
Millions
of
English
Measure
(
121
Irish
Acres
making
about
196
English
)
and
yet
Sir
William
Petty
computes
the
Irish
Acres
to
make
not
above
14
Millions
of
English
;
accounting
nigh
two
Millions
of
Acres
in
Mountains
,
Bogs
,
Strands
,
and
other
unprofitable
Land
,
a
great
part
of
which
,
however
,
is
capable
of
improvement
,
and
makes
Ireland
in
circumference
almost
equal
to
England
;
Wales
excepted
.
The
Latitude
of
Ireland
North
is
said
to
be
parallel
with
Dumfrese
in
Scotland
;
and
South
to
St.
Michael's
Mount
in
Cornwal
;
its
Longitude
West
to
the
utmost
point
of
Ire
Conaght
in
the
County
of
Galway
;
and
East
to
the
head
of
Houth
.
The
Kingdom
for
many
Ages
past
has
been
divided
It●
Division
into
Provinces
and
Counties
.
into
four
Provinces
,
three
of
which
before
that
Division
,
were
commonly
distinct
Monarchies
,
and
sometimes
the
fourth
,
which
by
degrees
,
as
the
English
Interest
prevailed
,
were
subdivided
into
Counties
,
of
which
there
are
thirty
two
at
this
day
in
all
the
Kingdom
.
The
Provinces
are
Leinster
,
Munster
,
Conaght
,
and
Vlster
.
Leinster
has
eleven
Counties
,
Dublin
,
Wicklow
and
Wexford
on
the
Sea-side
,
East-Meath
,
West-Meath
,
and
Carlow
within
Land
(
tho'
with
a
corner
reaching
to
the
Sea
,
)
Kilkenny
,
Kildare
,
Kings-County
,
Queens-County
and
Longford
,
are
Inland
Counties
also
.
Munster
has
six
Counties
,
two
within
Land
,
as
Tipperary
and
Limerick
;
but
Waterford
,
Cork
,
Kerry
,
and
Clare
all
on
the
Coast
.
Conaght
has
Galway
,
Mayo
,
and
Sligo
towards
the
Sea
,
with
Roscomon
and
Letrim
within
Land
.
Vlster
has
six
Counties
on
the
Sea-side
,
Fermanagh
,
Donegal
,
London-Derry
,
Antrim
,
Down
,
and
Louth
;
and
four
within
Land
,
as
Cavan
,
Monohan
,
Armagh
,
and
Tyrone
.
In
the
Year
1151
,
(
according
to
Cambden
)
Christianus
,
Into
Arch-Bishopricks
and
Bishopricks
.
Bishop
of
Lismore
,
Legate
of
all
Ireland
;
and
Johannes
Paperon
Cardinal
Priest
(
according
to
Sir
James
Ware
)
brought
four
Palls
from
Eugenius
the
third
,
and
held
a
Synod
,
or
Council
,
at
Kells
,
as
some
say
,
or
at
Mellefort
,
according
to
others
;
whereat
were
present
the
Bishops
,
Abbots
,
Kings
,
Captains
,
and
Elders
of
Ireland
,
when
by
General
consent
four
Arch-Bishopricks
were
Constituted
,
Armagh
,
Dublin
,
Cashel
,
and
Tuam
;
under
whom
there
were
34
other
Bishopricks
,
viz.
ten
subordinate
to
Armagh
,
five
to
Dublin
,
twelve
to
Cashel
,
and
seven
to
Tuam
.
But
now
they
are
reduced
to
21
in
all
,
and
those
divided
into
2278
Parishes
,
and
those
in
a
political
capacity
have
eight
that
are
called
Cities
,
Dublin
,
Kilkenny
,
Waterford
,
Cork
,
Cashel
,
Clogher
,
Limerick
,
and
London-Derry
;
besides
about
ninety
Boroughs
and
Corporations
.
As
to
the
Natural
Advantages
of
Ireland
,
many
People
The
Soil
of
Ireland
.
can
confirm
what
Sir
John
Davis
,
a
Man
of
Wit
,
Learning
,
and
Prudence
,
has
writ
several
Years
ago
,
viz.
That
having
been
in
all
the
Provinces
of
that
Kingdom
,
he
had
observed
the
good
Temperature
of
the
Air
,
the
fruitfulness
of
the
Soil
,
the
pleasant
and
commodious
Seats
for
Habitation
,
the
safe
and
large
Ports
and
Havens
lying
open
for
Traffick
unto
all
the
West
parts
of
the
World
,
the
long
Inlets
of
many
Navigable
Rivers
;
and
so
many
great
Lakes
,
and
fresh
Ponds
within
Land
,
as
the
like
are
not
to
be
seen
in
any
part
of
Europe
;
the
rich
Fishings
and
Wild
Fowl
of
all
Kinds
.
And
lastly
,
the
Bodies
and
Minds
of
the
People
Endowed
with
extraordinary
Abilities
of
Nature
.
And
however
it
has
become
a
Proverb
in
England
,
The
Irish
no
such
Fools
as
the
World
Commonly
makes
them
.
to
call
a
dull
unthinking
Fellow
,
a
Man
of
an
Irish
Understanding
,
yet
for
any
thing
appears
to
the
contrary
,
they
have
acted
a
Prudent
part
for
at
least
these
Five
Hundred
Years
;
nor
is
their
crafty
insinuating
wheedling
way
as
yet
any
thing
abated
;
and
whosoever
will
look
amongst
the
Natives
of
that
Countrey
at
this
juncture
,
will
probably
find
some
Knaves
,
but
as
few
Folls
as
in
any
other
Kingdom
of
the
World
.
But
since
I
have
mention'd
so
Judicious
an
Author
,
Sir
John
Davis
his
Reasons
why
Ireland
has
been
so
long
in
reducing
to
the
Crown
of
England
.
as
Sir
John
Davis
,
I
suppose
it
will
not
be
unpleasant
to
hear
some
of
his
Reasons
why
it
has
been
so
long
a
time
before
Ireland
was
entirely
subject
to
the
Crown
of
England
,
and
why
the
English
were
more
apt
to
run
into
the
Irish
Barbarous
Customs
,
and
imitate
their
way
of
living
,
than
on
the
Contrary
:
As
to
the
first
of
these
,
he
mentions
four
main
defects
of
the
Armies
,
that
at
different
times
were
sent
out
of
England
,
to
Conquer
Ireland
.
1.
They
were
for
the
most
part
too
weak
for
a
Conquest
.
2.
When
otherwise
(
as
in
both
the
Journies
of
Richard
the
Second
,
)
they
were
too
soon
broken
up
,
and
dissolved
.
3.
They
were
ill
paid
;
and
,
4.
They
were
ill
Govern'd
;
a
necessary
Consequence
of
the
former
.
Which
Inconveniences
happen'd
,
because
the
King
's
of
England
for
many
Ages
together
were
generally
otherwise
imploy'd
;
either
in
the
Holy-Land
,
or
in
France
,
or
in
their
Wars
with
Scotland
,
or
else
in
that
unhappy
fewd
between
the
two
Houses
of
Lancaster
,
and
York
:
So
that
they
cou'd
neither
attend
the
Irish
War
in
their
own
Persons
,
nor
spare
a
Competency
either
of
Men
,
or
Money
,
to
compleat
the
Work
,
which
was
only
begun
in
King
Henry
the
Second's
days
,
rather
by
a
few
private
Adventurers
,
than
by
any
thing
that
had
the
face
of
a
Royal
Army
.
And
besides
,
the
standing
Forces
were
seldom
or
never
reinforced
out
of
England
(
that
is
in
the
times
towards
the
beginning
of
the
English
Government
)
only
the
King's
Treasure
there
was
spent
,
and
wholly
spent
in
the
King's
service
;
so
that
in
the
Reigns
of
four
successive
Kings
,
Viz.
Henry
III.
Edward
I.
Edward
II.
and
Edward
III.
between
the
Receipts
and
Allowances
,
this
Entry
is
commonly
found
in
the
Pipe-Rolls
,
In
Thesauro
nihil
;
for
the
Affairs
of
the
State
,
and
those
of
the
Army
spent
all
,
and
that
all
was
not
sufficient
.
In
the
Reign
therefore
of
King
Edward
II.
Maurice
Fitz
Thomas
Earl
of
Desmond
,
as
his
Ancestor
was
the
first
of
English
Race
that
took
part
with
the
Irish
against
his
Native
Country
Men
,
he
being
now
Commander
in
Chief
of
the
Army
against
the
Scots
then
Invading
Ireland
,
he
only
changed
the
name
of
the
Ancient
Irish
Custom
called
Bonaught
,
but
began
to
practice
the
thing
it self
under
the
names
of
Coigne
and
Livery
and
Pay
,
that
is
,
he
and
his
Army
took
Horse
Meat
,
and
Mans
Meat
,
and
also
Money
at
their
pleasure
,
without
any
satisfaction
,
so
much
as
of
a
Bill
.
And
this
afterwards
proved
the
general
fault
of
all
the
Chief
Commanders
in
this
Kingdom
,
for
finding
the
advantage
of
this
way
of
proceeding
,
they
begun
to
oppress
the
Poor
English
heavily
,
who
rather
than
endure
it
,
would
give
them
a
part
of
their
Land
to
have
the
rest
free
,
which
Land
so
given
the
Lords
put
Irish
Tenants
upon
,
and
incouraged
them
in
several
particulars
,
that
so
they
might
pay
their
Rent
.
And
then
the
Kings
of
England
not
being
at
leisure
to
attend
the
War
in
their
own
Persons
,
they
could
do
no
less
in
Honour
,
than
give
a
great
part
of
the
Land
to
those
that
Conquered
it
.
But
those
Scopes
of
Land
given
at
first
to
the
English
Adventurers
were
generally
too
large
,
and
the
Priviledges
so
great
,
that
they
begun
to
set
up
for
themselves
,
no
fealty
being
reserved
to
the
Crown
by
the
Tenants
,
but
only
to
their
Lords
,
which
first
made
them
Proud
,
and
then
Contentious
.
Upon
which
account
to
strengthen
their
Parties
,
they
Allyed
themselves
with
the
Irish
,
and
drew
them
in
to
dwell
amongst
them
,
and
not
having
English
Tenants
enough
for
their
Lands
,
they
were
obliged
to
take
Irish
:
By
living
amongst
whom
,
and
having
their
Servants
and
Nurses
generally
of
such
;
they
,
and
their
Children
,
by
degrees
became
of
the
same
stamp
;
and
having
no
other
means
to
pay
or
reward
the
Irish
that
were
of
their
Faction
,
they
suffered
them
to
take
Coygne
,
and
Livery
from
the
English
Freeholders
,
which
Oppression
was
so
intolerable
,
as
that
the
better
sort
were
forced
to
quit
their
Free-holds
,
and
flye
into
England
,
never
returning
more
,
though
Laws
were
made
in
both
Kingdoms
to
remand
them
,
and
the
rest
that
remained
,
soon
became
degenerate
,
and
meer
Irish
.
Then
the
English
Lords
finding
the
Irish
Exactions
to
be
more
profitable
than
the
English
Rents
and
Services
,
and
loving
the
Irish
Tyranny
which
was
tied
to
no
Rules
of
Law
,
or
Honour
,
better
than
a
just
and
lawful
Seigniory
,
did
reject
and
cast
off
the
English
Laws
and
Government
,
and
some
with
the
Irish
Customs

to

because
Fostering

and
when
once
they
have
Nursed

they
think
themselves

all

what
Necessaries
they
have
occasion

,

as
often
as
they
have

Then
they
had

which
,
tho'
by
the
Canon-Law
a
Spiritual

,
yet
no
Nation
ever
made
so
Religious
account
of
it
as
the
Irish
.
Now
these
,
and
many
other
such
like
Customs
,
made
strong
Parties
,
and
Factions
,
whereby
the
Great
Men
were
enabled
to
oppress
their
Inferiours
,
and
to
oppose
their
Equals
.
Besides
which
,
their
frequent
Divorces
,
their
Promiscuous
Begetting
of
Children
,
and
neglect
of
Lawful
Matrimony
,
were
no
small
Temptations
for
vitious
Minds
to
degenerate
,
and
fall
into
the
like
Extreams
.
Those
were
the
Irish
Customs
which
the
English
Collonies
did
embrace
,
after
they
had
rejected
the
Civil
and
Honourable
Laws
of
England
,
which
especially
fell
out
in
the
later
end
of
King
Edward
the
Second
,
and
the
beginning
of
King
Edward
the
Third
,
proving
of
very
Fatal
Consequence
to
the
English
Interest
in
that
Kingdom
;
the
degenerate
English
being
always
harder
to
subdue
,
than
the
Natives
;
for
tho'
their
Minds
and
Manners
were
alter'd
,
yet
they
had
so
much
English
Blood
left
in
their
Veins
,
as
gave
them
English
Courage
,
and
Resolution
;
whereby
the
Fitz
Geralds
,
and
Earl
of
Desmond's
Rebellions
were
worse
than
those
of

Then
Sir

that
in

most
of
the
Inhabitants
were
not

derived
their

way
to
make
a
Statute
against
Absentees
,
whereby
a
great
part
of
the
County
of
Carlow
was
taken
from
the
Duke
of
Norfolk
,
and
other
Lands
from
other
great
Men
,
and
from
some
Monasteries
in
England
that
held
Land
in
Ireland
,
for
that
by
the
absence
of
these
,
and
the
neglecting
their
own
private
Estates
(
whereby
the
Irish
daily
gained
ground
)
they
brought
the
Publick
into
danger
.
However
this
Rebellious
Spirit
continued
in
Ireland
all
Queen
Elizabeth's
time
,
even
to
the
ninth
of
King
James
the
First
,
as
Sir
John
Davis
observes
;
but
if
he
had
lived
in
our
days
,
he
wou'd
have
seen
good
reasons
to
say
it
was
always
the
Genius
of
the
People
.
And
one
Mr.
Lawrence
has
since
that
,
endeavoured
to
prove
that
Ireland
was
never
intirely
subjected
to
the
Crown
of
England
,
nor
the
Lands
properly
called
the
King's
Lands
,
until
the
Act
of
Settlement
passed
in
the
12th
Year
of
King
Charles
the
Second
;
for
before
this
,
the
Chief
Inhabitants
in
all
Cities
and
Towns
were
Papists
,
as
Sheriffs
,
Justices
of
the
Peace
,
&c
,
by
which
means
that
Party
was
wonderfully
encouraged
and
strengthened
;
and
besides
,
the
Irish
before
the
late
Rebellion
,
were
by
far
the
greatest
Proprietors
,
tho'
afterwards
they
enjoyed
not
much
above
a
fifth
part
of
the
whole
(
that
is
in
propriety
)
by
which
means
,
and
the
industrious
Management
of
some
of
the
Chief
Governours
,
the
English
Interest
was
very
far
advanced
in
this
Country
before
the
death
of
King
Charles
the
Second
;
for
tho'
some
Clouds
arose
before
,
yet
the
Sun
shone
pretty
clear
,
till
the
Death
of
that
Monarch
made
it
more
than
Twilight
with
the
English
of
that
Country
;
and
then
the
late
dark
Night
of
Confusion
approached
so
suddenly
,
that
it
gave
them
no
time
to
set
things
in
Order
,
till
they
cou'd
not
in
a
manner
see
where
they
were
a
going
:
This
put
a
full
stop
to
the
Carreer
of
all
their
Prosperity
,
for
a
great
many
considerable
Buildings
,
and
other
Improvements
in
and
about
Dublin
,
and
other
places
in
the
Kingdom
,
being
pretty
far
advanced
at
that
Juncture
,
they
were
left
off
very
abruptly
,
the
Workman
throwing
away
his
Tools
,
and
the
Husbandman
neglecting
his
Plow
at
the
News
,
as
if
they
had
then
foreseen
their
approaching
Misery
,
and
were
amazed
to
find
the
Irish
arm
so
fast
on
all
hands
,
by
which
they
were
assured
that
other
sorts
of
Weapons
than
they
had
used
for
the
Country's
improving
,
were
soon
like
to
grow
more
in
fashion
,
and
that
to
the
undoing
of
what
themselves
had
so
honestly
endeavoured
to
make
up
.
So
that
the
Irish
were
not
then
,
nor
indeed
are
as
yet
so
subdued
,
as
that
no
further
Storm
may
ever
be
feared
to
arise
from
that
corner
.
And
certainly
the
not
thorowly
endeavouring
to
make
Ireland
bear
the
Charge
of
its
own
preservation
,
has
in
all
Ages
been
very
much
to
the
disadvantage
of
Ireland

England
.
But
to
carry
this
no
higher
than
the
Year
1595
,
the
time
of
Tyrone's
Rebellion
,
which
Cambden
in
his
Annals
tells
us
cost
1198717
l.
to
suppress
.
Or
if
we
compute
the
Charge
of
its
first
Conquest
,
and
the
suppressing
the
several
Rebellions
from
that
time
till
this
of
Tyrone's
,
to
cost
but
double
as
much
as
this
did
,
(
as
they
needs
must
,
since
before
that
,
Ireland
never
enjoyed
seven
Years
peace
at
one
time
.
)
Then
,
I
say
,
long
e're
this
,
all
those
Rebellions
had
been
forgot
,
and
the
Trade
and
Product
of
Ireland
more
than
trebly
recompenced
England
for
her
former
Blood
and
Treasure
:
But
as
the
Degenerate
English
grew
more
and
more
in
love
with
the
Irish
and
their
Customs
,
and
so
took
their
part
against
England
:
The
Charges
encreased
to
more
prodigious
Sums
;
and
they
generally
make
use
of
it
as
a
great
Argument
for
what
they
did
of
late
,
that
it
was
the
Blood
and
Treasure
of
their
Ancestors
that
first
gained
that
Kingdom
to
the
English
Interest
,
and
therefore
tho'
they
differed
in
Opinion
,
yet
it
was
very
unreasonable
that
they
should
be
quite
excluded
from
sharing
in
the
Government
with
those
that
were
of
a
much
later
Date
.
But
this
Objection
is
of
an
older
standing
than
either
the
former
War
,
or
this
last
;
for
we
are
told
that
so
great
Heats
have
arose
formerly
between
the
English
of
Birth
,
and
the
English
of
Blood
in
Ireland
;
that
they
held
different
Parliaments
,
and
endeavoured
by
all
means
Possible
to
ruine
one
another
:
But
't
is
observ'd
by
very
Learned
Men
in
this
Kingdom
,
that
tho'
the
English
have
often
fallen
out
amongst
themselves
,
and
there
were
generally
found
in
many
places
of
the
Kingdom
such
of
English
extraction
,
as
would
joyn
with
the
Irish
against
England
;
yet
the
People
of
the
Pale
were
always
firm
,
and
Loyal
to
the
Crown
,
and
the
greatest
strength
that
England
had
against
the
Irish
Nation
(
for
which
they
were
often
plentifully
Rewarded
)
'till
in
the
Year
1641
,
they
all
broke
loose
,
which
they
say
was
occasioned
thus
.
Tho
since
the
first
Conquest
of
Ireland
,
there
have
been
continued
feuds
in
that
Kingdom
,
between
the
People
of
both
Nations
,
upon
the
account
,
of
Interest
;
yet
when
the
Reformation
was
once
set
on
foot
,
the
Breach
was
widned
upon
that
account
,
it
being
what
the
Natives
of
that
Country
have
always
endeavoured
to
destroy
,
and
with
it
the
English
Interest
there
;
but
finding
this
a
very
difficult
Task
,
by
reason
that
the
old
English
of
the
Pale
,
tho'
many
of
them
were
of
the
same
Religion
with
the
Irish
,
yet
they
cou'd
never
be
perswaded
to
stand
up
for
a
mere
Irish
Interest
,

to

of

;
and

,
to
perswade
the
English
Gentry
always
to

first
breaking

they
seemed
to
detest
the
Irish
ways
of
proceeding
,

after

A
modest
Conjecture
at

Numbers
lost
on
both
sides
during

War
.
in
both
Armies
since
the
Landing
of
Duke
Schonberg
in
Ireland
,
the
best
Computation
I
have
been
able
to
make
by
comparing
Accounts
,
and
conferring
on
both
sides
with
those
that
have
made
some
Observations
on
that
matter
,
the
thing
runs
thus
.
Irish
Officers
killed
—
00617
Souldiers
killed
,
belonging
to

—
12676
Rapparees

and

without

Ceremony
—
600
Officers
killed
in
the
English
Army
—
00140
Soldiers
killed
in

Field
—
02037
Murdered
privately
by
the
Rapparees
that
we
had
no
account
where
they
died
—
00800
English
and
Foreign
Officers
died
during
the
three
Campaigns
—
00320
Souldiers
dead
in
the
English
Army
since
our
Landing
in
Ireland
—
7000
Tho'
its
to
be
observed
that
in
the
two
last
Campaigns
there
died
very
few
except
Recruits
,
and
such
as
died
of
their
Wounds
:
Nor
are
we
to
believe
that
the
Irish
did
not
lose
a
great
many
by
Sickness
also
,
but
no
doubt
the
Destruction
of
the
People
in
the
Country
wou'd
do
more
than
double
all
these
Numbers
;
so
that
by
the
Sword
,
Famine
,
and
all
other
accidents
,
there
has
perished
,
since
first
the
Irish
began
to
play
their
mad
Pranks
,
there
have
died
,
I
say
,
in
that
Kingdom
,
of
one
sort
and
another
,
at
least
One
Hundred
Thousand
,
Young
and
Old
,
besides
treble
the
Number
that
are
Ruined
and
undone
.
All
which
being
considered
,
it
's
certainly
most
expedient
to
find
out
an
Eternal
Remedy
that
the
like
may
never
happen
again
.
And
this
I
humbly
suppose
must
not
be
any
endeavour
to
root
out
and
destroy
the
Irish
,
but
in
the
advancing
the
English
Interest
both
in
Church
and
State
in
that
Kingdom
,
so
as
to
make
the
Irish
themselves
in
love
with
it
.
And
tho'
it
has
been
the
Ruining
Fate
of
that
Kingdom
The
Interest
of
England
to
advance
the
Power
of
the
English
in
Ireland
.
to
have
some
great
Men
,
both
in
Court
,
and
Parliament
,
Judge
it
the
Interest
of
England
to
keep
Ireland
poor
and
low
;
and
it
may
seem
strange
to
hear
an
English
Man
by
Birth
(
and
a
meer
Stranger
to
the
having
any
Interest
in
Ireland
)
to
endeavour
the
contradicting
of
it
:
But
in
my
humble
Opinion
,
whatsoever
may
be
allowed
in
this
,
as
to
the
promoting
the
private
Advantages
of
a
great
many
Trading
People
,
and
even
Men
of
Estates
in
England
,
which
all
would
suffer
by
the
advancing
of
these
in
Ireland
,
yet
it
's
so
far
from
being
the
real
Interest
,
either
of
the
Kingdom
of
England
,
to
cramp
Ireland
in
its
Prosperity
,
that
the
Wealth
and
Greatness
of
Ireland
in
Trade
and
Manufactures
is
to
be
promoted
both
by
the
King
and
People
of
England
as
much
as
possibly
it
can
.
And
first
,
as
to
the
Kings
of
England
,
it
is
the
same
thing
to
them
whether
they
have
their
Customs
from
Bristol
,
or
Dublin
,
from
Cork
,
or
Newcastle
,
&c.
or
whether
their
Levies
of
Men
,
when
occasion
offers
,
are
made
in
the
Counties
of
Wickloe
,
and
Waterford
,
Cumberland
,
or
Yorkshire
,
provided
the
Interest
were
one
and
the
same
in
both
Kingdoms
:
And
as
to
the
People
of
England
in
general
,
one
shou'd
think
it
's
their
business
to
promote
and
encourage
the
Trade
and
Prosperity
of
Ireland
,
that
thereby
it
might
not
only
support
it self
in
time
of
Peace
,
but
defend
and
maintain
it self
in
War
,
which
nothing
but
promoting
its
Trade
and
Wealth
will
do
:
For
what
Ireland
cannot
do
in
order
to
its
safety
,
England
must
supply
to
prevent
its
own
danger
;
since
if
ever
a
Foreign
Enemy
Surprize
and
Possess
Ireland
,
especially
the
French
,
then
England
must
maintain
a
greater
Standing
Force
to
secure
themselves
,
than
wou'd
have
secured
Ireland
,
if
imploy'd
in
its
defence
;
it
being
no
groundless
Saying
of
some
Old-fashion'd
Poet.
He
that
wou'd
England
win
,
Must
with
Ireland
first
begin
.
For
tho'
in
former
times
,
when
little
or
no
Shipping
appear'd
upon
these
narrow
Seas
,
and
France
,
and
other
Countries
knew
not
what
it
was
to
have
a
Fleet
,
and
there
was
but
small
Commerce
,
even
between
England
and
Ireland
themselves
;
yet
in
this
active
Age
of
the
World
,
it
wou'd
go
very
hard
with
England
,
if
the
French
shou'd
possess
Ireland
,
who
have
all
the
Harbours
from
Dunkirk
,
to
Brest
;
and
if
they
had
Cork
,
Baltimire
,
and
Bantry
,
where
wou'd
our
Western
Trade
be
?
Besides
,
by
the
possessing
the
Eastern
Coasts
of
Ireland
,
they
wou'd
surround
three
parts
in
four
of
England
,
and
a
great
part
of
Scotland
,
and
cou'd
Invade
either
when
they
pleas'd
;
which
wou'd
necessitate
England
to
be
always
at
the
Charge
of
a
Considerable
Standing
Army
,
and
then
farewell
both
their
Wealth
,
and
long
enjoy'd
Liberty
.
And
so
sensible
have
our
Ancestors
been
of
something
or
other
to
be
done
in
this
Affair
,
that
Sir
Henry
Sidney
,
that
most
excellent
Governour
,
who
had
spent
great
part
of
his
time
in
that
Kingdom
,
holding
a
Parliament

Ancestors

there
,
for
a
Subsidy
,
in
the
Eleventh
Year
of
Queen
Elizabeth
,
He
,
with
the
Lords
,
and
Commons
in
the
Preamble
to
the
Act
of
Parliament
,
thus
express
themselves
to
the
Queen
.
Considering
the
infinite
masses

that

and
Preservation
of

of

,
&c.
Which
Evils
still
remaining
,
the
Remedies
are
as
yet
The

Evil●
still

to
be
found
out
,
at
least
to
be
put
in
practice
;
for
tho'
the
War
be
now
happily
ended
,
yet
there
are
at
this
day
at
least
three
differnt
Interests
on
Foot
in
that
Kingdom
;
the
English
,
Irish
,
and
Scots
;
the
first
of
which
,
seem
to
be
the
least
concern'd
in
their
own
advancement
;
but
the
last
gain
ground
daily
in
the
North
,
there
being
at
least
Ten
Thousand
People
come
thither
out
of
Scotland
within
these
Twelve
Months
;
which
in
time
will
make
their
Party
Considerable
;
for
the
People
of
England
live
better
than
the
Scots
at
home
,
and
so
are
not
so
easily
invited
to
look
abroad
.
Whereas
the
Scots
their
part
of
Ireland
by
this
means
in
a
few
Years
is
like
to
be
more
than
it
has
been
.
And
as
to
the
Irish
,
every
one
sees
their
indefatigable
Industry
in
promoting
the
Interest
of
their
own
Party
,
no
discouragements
being
able
to
blunt
,
but
rather
serve
to
sharpen
their
endeavours
for
the
effecting
of
what
they
believe
may
be
some
steps
towards
their
future
Prosperity
,
making
every
particular
Man's
Case
a
general
Grievance
,
and
each
assisting
other
,
as
being
all
concerned
in
the
same
general
cause
,
whilst
the
English
,
even
in
that
Country
,
who
still
feel
the
smart
of
their
former
Calamities
,
will
yet
rather
sett
their
Lands
to
an
Irish
Man
or
a
Scot
,
that
shall
give
them
Sixpence
in
an
Acre
more
,
and
never
improve
it
further
than
to
an
English
Farmer
,
that
,
if
he
had
Encouragement
,
wou'd
in
a
few
Years
make
good
Improvements
,
which
will
still
continue
one
great
reason
why
Ireland
will
not
easily
be
made
an
English
Country
.
But
I
can
carry
the
matter
yet
higher
,
and
affirm
,
that
The
Interest
of
the
Irish
Papists
themselves
to
Advance
the
Power
of
England
.
it
's
the
real
Interest
of
the
Roman
Catholicks
of
Ireland
themselves
,
whether
of
Irish
or
English
Extraction
,
to
promote
that
of
England
as
much
as
they
can
in
their
Country
,
if
they
will
but
consult
the
future
safety
of
themselves
and
their
Posterity
;
since
without
the
support
of
some
other
Nation
they
can
never
hope
of
themselves
to
be
an
Independant
Kingdom
;
and
if
they
were
,
we
scarcely
can
find
out
how
they
wou'd
agree
amongst
themselves
,
who
should
Command
,
or
who
Obey
,
which
they
never
could
yet
from
the
beginning
do
;
and
what
did
the
Irish
ever
get
by
accompanying
either
their
Lords
or
Followers
into
Rebellion
?
Or
what
should
they
have
gotten
if
the
late
Attempt
had
absolutely
succeded
,
but
a
more
absolute
Servitude
under
the
French
?
And
therefore
it
's
better
for
them
to
have
their
old
English
Friends
they
have
been
so
long
acquainted
with
,
than
run
the
hazard
of
either
setting
up
new
Tyrants
of
their
own
,
or
having
them
come
to
'em
from
abroad
.
Besides
,
if
the
English
Interest
were
strong
and
powerful
in
Ireland
,
this
wou'd
cut
off
the
hopes
of
all
disaffected
People
for
ever
thinking
to
withstand
it
,
and
wou'd
make
them
reject
all
Tenders
from
abroad
,
and
Inticements
from
their
Jesuited
Priests
at
home
,
and
never
wou'd
they
more
run
such
desperate
Risks
which
still
fall
upon
their
own
heads
at
last
;
so
that
if
the
English
Interest
were
so
fortified
,
that
all
hopes
of
removing
it
were
cut
off
,
the
Irish
would
not
be
prevailed
upon
to
make
such
destructive
attempts
to
themselves
and
Posterities
,
as
they
often
have
done
hitherto
by
the
Insinuations
of
their
Priests
,
who
have
nothing
to
lose
,
nor
Families
to
provide
for
,
but
only
hazard
the
Lives
and
Fortunes
of
others
that
have
both
.
Since
(
as
Sir
William
Petty
observes
)
there
are
,
and
ever
will
be
in
England
Men
ready
for
any
Exploit
and
Change
,
either
by
being
discontented
with
their
present
Condition
,
or
otherways
well
inclined
to
the
service
,
more
than
are
sufficient
to
quell
any
Insurrection
which
the
Irish
can
make
and
abide
by
:
Which
wou'd
spare
both
the
Blood
and
Treasure
of
England
,
if
those
of
that
Nation
in
Ireland
,
cou'd
do
it
of
themselves
.
There
are
only
two
Objections
that
I
know
of
,
which
Two
Objections
answered
.
seem
to
be
considerable
against
this
Opinion
of
promoting
the
Trade
and
Wealth
of
Ireland
:
The
first
,
that
if
Ireland
should
be
encouraged
so
far
as
to
make
it
altogether
an
English
Country
,
it
would
drain
the
wealth
and
Inhabitants
of
England
to
that
degree
,
that
we
should
impoverish
our selves
,
by
putting
our
Trade
into
their
hands
,
who
wou'd
be
equal
,
if
not
Superiour
to
us
in
a
small
time
,
since
their
Country
lies
as
Convenient
in
all
respects
for
Trade
as
ours
,
and
has
several
Advantages
above
it
.
Answer
.
This
would
rather
incourage
England
to
be
more
industrious
in
Trade
and
Manufactures
,
when
they
saw
their
younger
Sister
of
Ireland
,
by
having
the
same
priviledges
of
Trade
with
her self
,
begin
to
contend
with
her
in
this
particular
,
and
would
create
a
profitable
emulation
amongst
the
People
of
both
Kingdoms
;
since
I
have
not
that
Opinion
of
Trade
,
that
some
People
have
of
Motion
;
that
there
's
a
determinate
quantity
,
and
when
it
fails
in
one
place
,
it
increases
in
another
.
There
is
Trade
enough
no
doubt
abroad
in
the
World
for
them
all
,
if
they
will
but
be
Industrious
;
however
,
there
can
no
disadvantage
accrue
either
to
the
King
of
England
,
or
his
People
in
general
,
by
having
this
effected
,
nay
,
this
wou'd
soon
be
more
for
the
advantage
of
the
Crown
of
England
,
than
any
poor
Customs
that
are
got
by
dividing
the
Nations
can
ever
amount
to
;
for
who
sees
not
the
good
effects
of
the
Vnion
between
England
,
and
Wales
?
But
then
those
who
are
so
hardy
as
to
leave
England
,
and
venture
their
Lives
and
Fortunes
at
any
time
,
for
the
reducing
of
Ireland
,
if
they
survive
it
,
and
once
come
to
settle
there
,
they
are
so
far
from
having
Encouragement
to
Trade
and
grow
Rich
,
that
by
several
Laws
made
on
the
account
of
Trade
,
they
are
under
the
same
Circumstances
with
the
Conquered
Irish
themselves
,
as
all
the
English
of
that
Kingdom
really
are
in
the
point
of
all
the
Western
Trade
especially
.
The
other
Objection
is
,
That
if
Ireland
were
so
far
encouraged
in
Trade
and
other
Advantages
,
as
to
become
absolutely
an
English
Country
,
and
equally
Entitled
to
the
Benefit
of
its
Laws
,
&c.
the
People
there
,
after
some
time
wou'd
grow
Rich
,
and
consequently
Proud
,
so
that
they
wou'd
then
set
up
for
themselves
,
and
deny
all
manner
of
dependance
upon
England
,
which
would
soon
create
a
more
dangerous
Civil
War
than
ever
.
Answer
,
There
can
be
no
fear
of
this
,
since
nothing
cou'd
be
got
by
such
a
Revolt
,
but
their
own
destruction
;
and
it
's
as
probable
,
that
the
English
on
the
North
of
Trent
,
should
upon
any
disgust
endeavour
to
set
up
for
themselves
,
which
they
are
sensible
could
bring
nothing
but
Ruin
to
the
whole
:
Besides
,
since
the
Royal
Seats
of
the
Kings
,
the
Principal
Courts
of
Judicature
,
and
also
the
Royal
Navy
are
always
on
this
side
the
Water
,
all
Attempts
of
this
kind
wou'd
prove
vain
and
fruitless
,
and
the
rest
of
the
World
laugh
at
such
a
Destructive
folly
and
madness
.
I
pretend
not
to
meddle
with
any
particular
Methods
,
Religion
in
the
first
Place
to
be
taken
care
of
.
for
the
promoting
the
English
Interest
in
Ireland
,
only
it
's
worth
the
Knowledge
,
and
Care
of
every
one
,
especially
those
in
places
of
Authority
and
Trust
;
what
was
in
my
Lord
Barkley's
Instructions
(
Dated
May
21
(
1670.
)
relating
to
Matters
of
Religion
.
That
forasmuch
as
all
good
Success
doth
rest
upon
the
Service
of
God
,
above
all
things
you
are
to
settle
good
Orders
in
the
Church
,
that
God
may
be
better
served
in
the
True
Established
Religion
,
and
the
People
by
that
means
reduc'd
from
their
Errors
.
But
whilst
the
Irish
are
in
the
Power
of
the
Romish
Clergy
,
they
keep
them
in
such
Awe
and
Ignorance
,
that
they
scarce
dare
,
or
can
enquire
into
the
differences
in
Religion
,
nor
Read
the
Scriptures
,
or
yet
confer
with
any
Protestant
Divine
,
so
that
all
they
generally
know
of
Religion
(
I
speak
of
the
Vulgar
Sort
)
is
some
Fabulous
Legends
of
the
Priests
Invention
,
or
that
their
Fathers
or
Families
were
of
that
Persuasion
,
and
so
must
they
be
also
:
But
tho'
they
be
much
given
to
Lying
,
yet
they
are
not
in
the
main
so
ill-natured
as
some
People
make
them
,
since
they
own
our
Baptism
and
other
Institutions
to
be
Essential
,
and
will
of
their
own
accords
come
to
us
,
when
they
have
not
the
conveniency
of
a
Priest
,
several
instances
of
which
,
I
could
give
of
my
own
Knowledge
.
There
are
a
great
many
very
Learned
,
Pious
,
and
Devout
Clergymen
of
the
Protestant
Church
in
Ireland
,
discharging
the
Duties
of
their
Function
,
with
such
Religious
and
Godly
Sincerity
,
as
becomes
the
Messengers
of
Christ
:
But
there
being
a
great
many
Impropriations
in
that
Kingdom
;
and
by
this
means
,
half
a
score
Parishes
in
some
places
,
not
able
to
afford
one
Hundred
Pounds
per
Annum
to
a
Minister
,
this
has
given
occasion
for
the
Union
of
several
Parishes
,
and
not
only
so
,
but
for
frequent
Pluralities
,
and
that
in
several
places
,
very
much
to
the
disadvantage
of
the
Church
,
by
which
means
there
are
a
great
many
Parishes
Inhabited
only
with
Papists
,
which
for
that
Reason
are
generally
called
Sine
Cures
,
as
if
the
Minister
had
no
Business
there
at
all
.
But
this
I
can
by
no
means
Subscribe
unto
,
since
to
me
they
seem
to
be
the
clean
contrary
,
and
not
impossible
to
remedy
,
by
finding
out
some
means
to
allow
each
Minister
a
Competency
,
and
then
oblige
him
to
reside
upon
it
,
whether
his
Parishioners
be
Papists
or
Protestants
;
since
the
Living
among
those
People
,
and
the
frequent
Conversation
with
them
,
wou'd
be
of
more
force
than
all
the
Penal
Laws
in
Christendom
.
There
was
a
view
of
Ireland
,
writ
by
Spencer
,
as
I
take
it
,
towards
the
latter
end
of
Queen
Elizabeth's
Reign
,
and
amongst
other
things
,
he
has
this
Remarque
.
Several
Irish
Families
(
says
he
)
are
already
become
English
,
and
more
would
,
if
the
English
would
do
their
parts
,
in
supplying
the
Country
with
Learned
,
Pious
,
and
painful
Preachers
,
who
cou'd
Out-Preach
,
and
Out-Live
the
Irish
Priests
:
For
Religion
must
not
be
forcibly
imposed
upon
them
with
Terrors
and
sharp
Penalties
(
as
now
is
the
manner
)
but
rather
delivered
and
intimated
with
Mildness
and
Gentleness
,
so
as
it
may
not
be
hated
before
it
be
understood
,
which
yet
is
not
so
difficult
a
Task
as
some
People
make
it
,
for
if
the
Ancient
Godly
Fathers
,
who
first
Converted
them
,
when
they
were
Infidels
,
to
the
Faith
,
were
able
to
pull
th●m
from
Idolatry
and
Paganism
,
to
the
true
Belief
of
Christ
(
as
St.
Patrick
and
St.
Columb
)
how
much
more
easily
shall
Godly
Teachers
bring
them
to
the
Vnderstanding
of
that
,
which
they
already
Profess
;
if
they
did
but
shew
as
much
Zeal
in
disswading
them
from
their
Errors
,
as
the
Priests
do
Care
and
Industry
to
keep
them
in
them
.
However
,
thus
far
Spencer
seems
to
be
in
the
right
of
it
;
That
True
Religion
is
not
to
be
planted
by
Penal
Laws
,
or
the
Terrour
of
Punishment
,
which
may
fill
a
Church
with
Temporizing
Hypocrites
,
but
never
with
Sincere
Professors
;
for
tho'
Humane
Laws
are
a
good
Hedge
about
Religion
,
and
an
Encouragement
to
Vertue
,
yet
that
which
is
solely
founded
upon
such
,
binds
the
Conscience
no
longer
than
those
Laws
are
in
force
.
But
what
I
am
sorry
to
see
so
true
,
is
,
that
Idleness
is
the
malus
Genius
of
that
Kingdom
,
and
except
you
can
persuade
the
People
to
be
Industrious
too
,
as
well
as
Religious
,
you
are
not
much
nearer
the
matter
,
for
they
are
Naturally
a
lazy
Crew
,
and
love
nothing
so
much
as
their
ease
,
and
if
an
Irishman
has
but
a
Cow
and
a
Potatoe
Garden
,
it
's
all
the
Wealth
he
commonly
aspires
to
;
which
way
of
Feeding
,
a
great
many
give
for
the
Reason
,
that
they
are
generally
so
mean
spirited
,
for
you
'll
see
them
in
Companies
lye
loytering
in
the
Streets
of
any
Country
Village
,
or
by
the
High-way
sides
,
enquiring
after
,
and
telling
News
to
one
another
,
but
not
one
in
twenty
,
either
at
work
in
the
Fields
,
or
otherways
Honestly
imploy'd
,
which
is
the
Reason
,
that
at
this
very
day
,
most
of
the
Goals
of
the
Kingdom
are
filled
with
Thieves
,
and
the
Streets
with
incredible
numbers
of
importunate
houling
Beggars
,
who
yet
most
of
them
had
rather
Live
so
than
otherways
.
But
I
'm
afraid
,
a
great
many
People
will
think
I
have
been
too
busie
,
and
therefore
I
have
only
this
to
say
further
;
that
notwithstanding
all
the
Wagers
,
that
have
been
proffer'd
of
late
,
whether
Ireland
would
not
be
in
the
French
King's
Hands
by
such
a
time
;
I
dare
freely
venture
one
of
as
great
value
as
I
am
able
,
that
tho'
he
begin
to
morrow
,
it
will
not
be
in
his
Power
,
with
all
the
Force
he
can
spare
to
take
it
,
from
that
handful
of
Men
left
in
that
Kingdom
for
its
security
,
these
Seven
Years
,
for
if
the
Irish
,
who
were
but
indifferently
provided
for
at
best
,
were
able
to
hold
it
out
so
long
,
against
all
the
Power
and
Strength
of
England
;
what
can
Men
that
have
better
Supplies
,
and
full
as
good
Hearts
do
?
And
as
for
those
vain
hopes
of
that
unhappy
Party
,
An
Invasion
from
France
upon
any
of
the
three
Kingdoms
not
very
practicable
at
this
time
.
who
are
still
buoyed
up
with
the
Fancy
of
the
French
King's
Greatness
,
and
that
he
will
at
some
time
or
other
,
certainly
make
an
Invasion
,
either
upon
England
,
Scotland
,
or
Ireland
;
any
who
know
what
War
means
,
can
assure
them
,
that
it
's
much
sooner
said
than
done
.
For
if
his
present
Majesty
of
England
,
was
obliged
to
imploy
nigh
600
Vessels
,
when
at
his
first
coming
he
Transported
only
14000
Men
into
this
Kingdom
;
and
if
the
Irish
War
has
for
Three
Years
past
,
imployed
such
a
considerable
number
of
Transport
Ships
in
that
narrow
Channel
,
between
England
and
Ireland
,
which
lye
so
convenisently
and
contiguous
one
to
another
;
what
Provision
must
needs
be
made
in
France
for
such
an
Attempt
,
as
an
Invasion
upon
any
of
the
Three
Kingdoms
,
which
if
it
miscarries
,
they
are
certainly
undone
?
For
suppose
the
French
still
a
match
for
our
Fleet
(
which
I
hope
they
will
never
be
now
whilst
the
World
stands
)
and
the
French
Invasion
designed
upon
England
,
tho'
there
be
a
Factious
and
unnaturally
discontented
Party
there
,
that
are
no
well
wishers
to
the
present
Government
,
yet
there
are
so
many
Loyal
and
True
Hearted
English-Men
still
left
at
home
,
that
all
the
Ships
in
France
are
not
able
to
Transport
Men
enough
from
thence
to
subdue
them
,
since
we
know
their
affection
to
both
the
French
and
Irish
that
are
with
them
,
should
they
once
indeavour
to
look
into
England
,
whose
Strength
is
in
the
Hearts
and
Affections
of
the
People
,
intirely
devoted
to
Their
Majesties
Service
.
I
allow
that
20000
well
Disciplin'd
and
Experienc'd
Men
are
able
to
beat
four
times
the
number
of
Raw
unexperienc'd
Country
People
,
but
then
I
leave
the
English
standing
Army
,
and
a
well
Disciplined
Militia
,
especially
in
and
about
the
City
of
London
,
to
shew
how
unwelcome
the
French
wou'd
be
to
them
.
And
as
for
Scotland
,
its
Soyl
in
most
places
is
Naturally
poor
and
barren
,
and
an
Army
of
Foreigners
Landed
there
,
must
either
eat
Heath
or
one
another
in
a
small
time
,
if
once
they
leave
the
Coast
;
for
admit
they
have
Provisions
brought
by
Sea
into
their
Harbours
,
yet
the
Country
in
few
places
is
so
level
as
to
admit
of
either
a
marching
Train
of
Artillery
,
or
of
Provision
Waggons
,
which
an
Army
has
no
Business
any
where
without
,
and
soon
wou'd
look
very
foolish
for
want
of
,
suppose
but
an
indifferent
Enemy
to
oppose
them
.
Then
as
for
an
Invasion
to
be
made
upon
Ireland
;
the
Country
is
already
so
destroyed
by
being
the
Seat
of
War
,
that
whosoever
attempts
it
,
must
bring
all
from
abroad
likewise
,
as
well
Horses
as
Provisions
,
which
is
no
easie
Task
of
it self
,
suppose
no
opposition
either
at
Sea
or
in
the
Country
;
but
then
our
Garrisons
especially
upon
the
Coasts
,
are
made
so
strong
to
our
Hands
by
the
Irish
themselves
by
the
help
and
directions
of
the
best
French
Ingineers
,
and
are
Manned
with
part
of
an
Experienced
and
Victorious
Army
,
that
it
will
not
be
the
work
of
a
few
days
to
pick
any
of
them
out
of
our
hands
,
since
there
is
Ammunition
,
Artillery
,
and
Provisions
suitable
to
each
Garrison's
Necessities
.
And
as
an
advantage
to
the
established
standing
Army
now
in
Ireland
,
consisting
of
Colonel
Woolsley's
Horse
,
Colonel
Wynns
,
and
Colonel
Eiklin's
Dragoons
,
Sir
Jo.
Hanmer's
,
Briggadeer
Stuart's
,
Colonel
Gustavus
Hambleton's
,
Earl
of
Drogheda's
,
Sir
Henry
Bellisis
,
Colonel
Roe's
,
Colonel
Coot's
,
Colonel
St.
John's
,
Colonel
Muthelburms
,
and
Colonel
Creighton's
Foot
,
besides
Colonel
Frederick
Hambleton's
,
and
three
French
Regiments
,
all
upon
the
Irish
Establishment
,
as
also
the
Earl
of
Donegal's
Foot
,
and
Colonel
Cunningham's
Dragoons
now
raising
;
besides
all
these
,
I
say
,
what
deserves
no
mean
Character
,
is
the
Militia
of
Ireland
,
being
formerly
at
least
Twenty
Five
Thousand
Men
,
and
tho'
they
cannot
make
so
many
now
,
this
War
having
destroy'd
a
great
many
Protestants
,
yet
whoever
serve
now
upon
that
account
,
are
all
well
Armed
and
Experienced
Active
Men
,
which
circumstances
being
all
known
to
France
,
they
will
scarce
hazard
all
upon
such
uncertainties
(
suppose
they
were
really
at
leisure
to
do
it
,
)
as
an
Invasion
upon
any
of
their
Majesties
Dominions
must
needs
prove
.
It
may
also
be
remembred
,
that
the
Spanyards
in
the
A
Remark
upon
the
last
that
endeavoured
it
.
Year
1588
,
had
not
only
a
great
mind
to
Ireland
,
but
with
a
powerful
Army
endeavoured
also
to
Invade
England
;
in
which
Attempt
,
their
loss
was
so
considerable
,
that
they
have
not
as
yet
recover'd
it
:
And
the
disappointment
that
the
French
King
met
withall
the
very
last
Year
,
in
such
another
undertaking
,
gives
us
more
than
ordinary
hopes
,
that
thro'
God's
Blessing
,
it
will
always
so
be
done
to
the
Enemies
of
England
.
