SIR , Dublin , Septemb . 7. 1691.

JUST now an Express is Arrived here from the Camp before Lymerick , which brings the following Account ; That Cell . Luson , who was sent some Days before with a strong Detatchment of 500 select Horse , and some Troops of Dragoons , into the County of Clare ; where , meeting with a considerable Party of Sarsefield's Horse and Dragoons , he attacked them with that vigour and success , that Two entire Regiments were cut off , being most killed on the Spot ; with a considerable Number of Rapparees ; taking several considerable Persons Prisoners , among which were the Lord Merrion , and a Lady of Quality , with most of the Regiments Horses , Accouterments , and Baggage of considerable Value .

A strong Detatchment of Cavalry , and some Infantry were lately sent from the Camp , to a Place where great Numbers of Rapparees lurk , and continue to commit Spoils . Some of our Batteries are raised so high , that they overlook the Town : Most of the Inhabitants in the Place , to shelter themselves from being annoyed with our Bombs , ( which have done very considerable Dammage ) are retired into King's-Island , which Place we shall speedily Attack . Some of our Great Guns are re-shipt , in order to raise some Batteries on the other side of the River ; and several of our Regiments are passing the Shannon .

We have lately taken Fifteen Commission-Officers , Eleven Serjeants , and 105 private Soldiers Prisoners in Two small Forts near the Shannon : We hear there is a Communication between Sarsfield and Col. Lundy , but we cannot tell the Particulars ; but 't is generally said , That Sarsfield makes Proposals for himself and the Troops he has with him ; the Result of which a little Time will shew . We have had very good Weather in the Camp , considering the Time of Year , and we continue to play from our Batteries into the Town , with very great Success and Execution : So that we doubt not the Reduction of the Town in few Days .

A Letter sent from a great General in Savoy , to a Person of Quality in England , ●nd just now arrived , gives an Account , That the Duke of Savoy had taken the strong Place of Carminole by S 〈…〉 , that the Garrison , consisting of 1500 Men , all French , were put to the Sword● that in the Place was found great Quantities of ●●●munition , Provisions , a considerable n●mber of Brass Cannan , and considerable Riches .
