We have an Account from the Camp before Limerick of the 16th , that our cannon continue to play with great Effect , that the English Town is ruined , there being scarce a house remaining entire in it , and a great many of the Ga●●●●●n killed , and that besides the burning of the Enemies Magazines of Bisket ●●d Brandy on the 12th , our Bombs had set Fire to and blown up a Magazine 〈◊〉 Powder they had in the English Town , where a breach is made of above 〈◊〉 Yards : They say also that some of our Forces were going to pass the Shan 〈◊〉 〈◊〉 〈◊〉 to attack it likewise on the County of Clare side .
