YEsterday Letters from Liverpool , they inform , That Duke Schomberg , on Thursday last went on Board , and all his Men Embarqued , being Twelve Thousand , he designing not to come Ashore till they were gone to the rest of the Forces which are to be taken in at High-Lake , and the Rendevous will be at the Isle of Man . They hear that Col. Kirk has given the Command of a new-raised Regiment to Capt . Richards , his Majesty's Engineer , Gent . It was believed that the Duke would Sayl away that Evening , the Wind standing then for a fair Voyage towards Ireland . The Letters from Ireland to that place , say , That the Popish Army were in such a Consternation , that they might Land in any place of the Country : That at High-Lake there were 300 Large and Small Vessels , 10 Men of War , and 40 Merchants Ships that were made for War ; some carryed 20 , some 30 , some 40 , Four 50 Guns a-peice . When the Letters came away , the Fleet Joyned them ; so we hope in a very short time to hear of the happy Reducing of Ireland . 't is said , An Express being sent to the Late King about the Raising of Derry-Seige , and the Relieving of that Place , he shook his Head , and said , We have made a fine Summers Work on 't .

He sent an Express to the King of France , the Contents whereof were as followeth , That Derry was Relieved , and the Irish Army Decamped from before it , to draw themselves into a Body , to oppose the sudden Descent on that Kingdom by Duke Schomberg ; and pressing his most Christian Majesty either to send him immediately Succour , ( for he began to question the Fidelity of the Irish Nobility ) or granting Permission to Return to France : Which said Express was so surprizing , that the French King that Evening had a small Return of his Ague . The next day a Grand Council was held , and those Forces out of Italy , sent from the Dukes of Modena , Mantua , Savoy , &c. were forthwith order'd on Board his Fleet at Brest for the Assistance of King James . Madam d' Maintenox came to Condole the King ; he told her , That St. Diabolo Water was so busie in his Thoughts , that he could have no Recess .
