A LETTER from Sir George Ayskew , Vice Admirall of Ireland , of a Great and famous Victory obtained by Col : Jones , in the utter Routing , and defeating of the Marquesse of Ormond and his whole Army . Right Honourable ,

I Remember I told you in my last , that our Affairs here , looked at that time with a cloudy face , but I was confident in my next to you , that you would hear of a change , expecting hourely the arrivall of the Forces designed hither , which are now safely landed , and seasonably , Gods time being alwaies the best , since which time it hath pleased God to shew himselfe mightily , in giving the small Remnant of his Servants here , a wonderfull Victory . On Thursday last , 2 instant , the enemies Army , who had before removed their Camp from the North side of the Town , to the Southside , and was incamped within two miles of it , at a place called the Remainds , sent a party of about 400 men to possesse themselves of an old ruinous House , caled Baggatrash , a mile from the City , ( intending as it should seem , to draw neer to the Town with their Army ) the Governour sent out a party against them , and speedily followed himself , with about 3000 Foot , and 1200 Horse , & after a sharp dispute there , that party of the Enemies were all kild and taken . Col : Jones from thence marched against another Body , which the Enemy had drawn forth , and routed them , fell into the Enemies Camp , and routed the whole Army , took all their great Guns , tents , Bagge and Baggage , slew 4000. and took 2100. common prisoners , and neer 300 Officers , Ormond himselfe scaped away as I heard , with 7 Horse . The Earl of Fingall , and Ormonds Brother are taken , with some other Prisoners of Quality , and many of Quality slaine . Sir Will . Vaughan amongst the rest , and many that I cannot name .

There is a report that my Lord Taffe is slaine , but that I thinke is not certaine . The Earle of Castlehaven was wounded , but carried off by the enemy , but whither dead or alive I know not . The enemy speake themselves to be 19000. but it is thought they were 14000. at the least : They had the best Traine of Artillery that was ever seen in Ireland , which is now ours . Their Campe was rich , having newly received mony for the paying of their Army .

Sir , Thus you see this numerous and strong Army vanquished and destroyed by a handfull , because God owned his servants in the day of battell . I was yesterday with the Governour , whose care and gallantry hath been admirably shown in preserving the Parliaments interest here , whom I doubt not will return him a respect suitable to his merits . The Lord Inchequeen with a party of Horse was gone for Munster some few dayes before the fight , but the Governour presented mee with his sword , that was taken in the field , it seems he left some part of his Forces , and Baggage behind him . I have sent 20 sail of ships and barks from hence to Milford and the expedition , Concord , President , Thomas and Nichodemus to waite the pleasure of the Lord Lieutenant , Sir I am
