SIR Cloudsley Shovell , with seven Men of War , two Yatchs , two Sloops and a Ketch , came to Dublin last Thursday Evening , he sent most part of them to the Southward to Cruise on the Irish Coast , and entred the Bay with four Men of War , and the Monmouth Yatch of eleven Guns , in which Sir Cloudsley himself Fought , his own Ships being so big , could not come up . All the small Irish Ships stranded themselves under the Shelter of some Cannon at Rings-end . Captain Bennet's Frigat of eighteen Guns , One hundred and fifty Tun , cut her Cables , and was stranded in Salmon Pool , where he maintained a Fight an hour and an half with the Monmouth Yatch , till Bonnet had lost seventeen of his Men , and three so wounded that they after died ; and then he went off in a Boat with what Men he had left , and carried two Bags of Mony with him . There was found in the Ship an English-man , a Spaniard , and a late Convert who was mortally wounded . He was asked , What Religion he died of and he answered , That he co●●d not tell . It seems the Gunner of Bennet's Ship wa● an E●glish-man , and refused to fight against the English , for which he was shot through the Body . The Ship was laden with Hides , Tallow , and Wooll , and was designed for France within two days . During the Fight King James , and many People came upon the Strand , among whom , after the Ship was taken , Sir Cloudsly bestowed some Shot , which suddenly disperst them . After this Sir Cloudsley went in his Long-boat expecting to take in some Protestants , but only two Boys , about seventeen years of Age , pretending to gather Cockles , took that opportunity of making their Escape , who were taken on Board , and brought off . There came also two Troopers towards the Boat , who were taken to be Friends , but one of them fired his Pistol to the Boat without harm , ( the other ran away ) upon which Sir Cloudsley himself shot his Horse dead , and wounded him ; the Troopes escaped , leaving his Boots , Saddle , &c. behind him , which our Seamen went ashore for , and got . We had only one Man wounded in this Action . The Frigat is at Belfast with Sir Cloudsley ; but the Monmouth Yatch came last Monday Night to High-Lake with this Account . One of the Men that was taken in the Ship , says , The Duke of Berwick swears he will never head the Irish more , they being such Cowards And the Irish , to be even with him , tell him , Though he lost the Battle at Cavan , yet he won the Race , coming first to Dublin without his Wigg . Last Night twelve Companies of Nassau's Regiment came here ; and the Night before came in above forty Wagons designed for Ireland . We have Advice from Belfast that forty great Ships from Bristol , with four Regiments , and great store of Provisions , arrived there on Good Friday .
