II. Anno 1677. SECT 1. Section 1 To return to the Treaty About the middle of February 1677. The Assembly was compleatly formed The Assembly fully formed and the Preliminaries bâ—ing dispatched the Respective Ambassadors by agreement put all their Propositions and Pretensions into the hands of the Mediators The particulars whereof being too large to be inserted fully now considering my intended Brevity I have pretermiâ—ted intending to mention the most material heads of them hereafter as the several Parties come to agreement with France Now the Dutch discover a strong propension to a Peace to which the Prince of Orange was much averse and endeavoured what he could to obstruct it The French finding the Confederates very slow and backward in the negotiation for Peace thought fit to quicken them by Blocking up of Cambray and Valenciennes and early in the Year broak in upon Flanders and these parts of Germany on the other side of the Rhine and that with more cruel Devastations then at any time before since the War began Of which the Allies complained heavily to King Charles the Mediator but in vain The French King in Person comes to the Seidge of Valenciennes and the 9th of March the Trenches are opened and on the 17th it is taken From thence he Marched to Cambray which Valenciennes and Cambray taken by the French King on the 5th Day after the Trenches were opened surrendered to him upon Articles except the Citadel which held out a few Days longer At the same time his Brother the Duke of Orleans invested St. Omers The relief whereof the Prince of Orange intended and and endeavoured with the States Forces only the Spainiards giving him no Aid Approaching to St. Omers the Duke of Orleans drew off from the Town and met him at Mountcassel Orleans Forces being much Superior to his The Battel of Mountcassel where after a briâ—k Engagement and hot Dispute on both sides the Princes Batallions fell in disorder and in short betook them to downright flight tho he strove to stop them with his Sword in his hand and cut the first he met over the Face crying aloud Rascal I 'll set a mark on thee that I may hang thee at last But withal he made so Noble and safe a Retreat as wanted little of the Honour of a Victory St. Omers Cambray Citadel surrendered to the French The consequence of this was The Surrender of St. Omers and Cambray Citadel the twentieth of Aprile The French King being at Dunkirk sends the Duke of Câ—equi with a Complement and a Letter to King Charles professing himself willing to agree to a Truâ—e with the Confederates for some years it his Ally the King of Sweden would condescend Praying King Charles to sound his inclination in that point Beverning adjusts the Peace with France Moâ—sieur Beverning the Dutch â—â—enipotentiariâ— who was earnest for concluding a Peace understanding this look't on it as a meer shamm and eâ—â—â—umned openly against it And contrary to the Advice of Moâ—â—â—â—uâ— Vâ—n Benningham and other Ministers of the Allies he streatched farther then his Commission would bear as some thought and managed tâ—e matter so as by the beginning of July all material pâ—ints between the French and Dutch were adâ—â—sted The rest of the Summer being triffled away in unsuccessful Disputs and Junglings about the Duke of Lorrains and the Bishop of Straseburgs concerns in the Treaty Nor was there any considerable Action on either side all this Campaigne for if the French boasted of taking the City of Freeburg in October Sâ—â—tings falling into the Elector of Brandenburgs hands the same Moneth counterpoiâ—ed that and so lest the Scales even SECT 2. Sect. 2 In October The Prince of Orange went to England Prince of Orange goes for England And on the first view of the Princess Mary eldest Daughter of the Duke of York he was extreamly Enamâ—ured of her and â—mmediatly made Suit to the King and her Father to that effect which was assented to provided the Tearms of Peace abroad were â—iâ—st agreed on before the Marriage Which the â—â—mâ—e on no Tearms would assâ—nt to saying the World would beleive â—e hâ—d made that Match for himself at their Cost adding that he would never Sacrifice his Honour to his Love And at last becam so Sullen on the matter as he desired a friend to tell the King that he would leave England within two dayes if things Continued so An. 1678. that it repented him of his coâ—ing that the King must chuse how they should â—ive after for he was sure it must either be as the greatest friends or greatest Enemies This sharpnes and freedom so wrought on the King as he presently consented to the Marriage is Married which was Consummated without delay After which they began to discourse and Concerte the Teâ—rms of I eaâ—e thâ—t was in agitation abroad And so on the Twâ—nty first of November and reâ— turns to Holland the â—rince with his Pâ—â—â—â—ess arryve in Holland Tho King Charles had Engaged to the Prince to joyne in the War with all the Allies if France refused to Concludâ—â— Peace on reasonable Tearms yet soon after he receded from this and sends over with Mr. Thynne a draught of an Alliance with the Dutch only which was Concluded on and Sign'd at the Hâ—gue the sixtenth of January 16â—8 CHAP. III. Anno 1678 SECT I. Sect. 1 Ghent and Ypre â—aken by the French Towards the end of Febreuary the French King Marches on the head of his Army to Metz and having drawn the Spainsh Forces that way of a sudden Crosses the Countrey and by the fourth of March sits down before Ghent and in few days took it as he did Ypre before the end of that Moneth tho the Garrison made a gaâ—lant resistance of which Grivances the Allies acquainted King Charles but all they could do could not excite him to any speedy or open Declaration the French Kings project of Peace The French King elated with his Success of
within three Moneâ—â—s and that he himself will ratify is within six Weeks And this ended thus long and bloody War in Europe But with much dissâ—isfaction to almost all the Allies Especidly Denmark and Bâ—andeâ—burg but many wayes advantagious to France and withal not very Honoâ—â—rable to England whose Mediation contiâ—ed even to the last and yet had not the happiness of Signing any one of the Treanes SECT 5. Sect. 5 Now let us return home And enquire what has been doing in England all this while In the preceeding year Popish-Plot in England â—â—ptember 29. 1678. about the 29 of September 1678. Doctor Oates made a Discovery of a Popish Plot agâ—inst the Life of the King the Protestant Religion and for the Subversion of the Government on which Sir George Wakeman the Queens Physician Coleman Secretary to the Dutchess of York and several Jesuites and Preists were apprehended and committed As were not long after the Earl of Powis Viscount Stafford Lord Arundel of Warder Lord Petre and Lord Bâ—asis these last five were all committed Prisoners in the Tower of London Sir Edmundbury Godfrey a Justice of peace Sir Edmundbury Godfrey Murdered who was appointed to Examine the Prisoners first committed was Murdered on the 12 of October which confirmed all Men in beliefe of the Conspiracy and on the 1st of November the Parliament Nemine Contradicente did declare themselves fully perswarded of the same Soon after Godfreys Murther came to be discovered by one Bedlow prompted thereto by his Conscience on whose evidence and one Prance's Green Berty and Hul were Convicted and Executed Examinations And farther Inquiries relating to the Plot going on for two or three Moneths The long Parliament dissolved and and another called to sit the 6th of March in all which time the King continued seâ—mingly doubtful and incredulous of the same and finding the Parliament more Zealous and forward in prosecuting that Affair then he approved of on the 24th of January Dissolves them after they had sat seventeen Years and above eight Moneths And called another to sit the 6th of March following On the 28th of February He requires the Duke of York by a Letter to withdraw from England Duke of York leaves England which he obeys and retires with his Family first to the Hague and then to Brussels To make all things appear more pausible The King choses a New Council viz. Names of the Privy Councillers 1 Prince Rupert 2 Arch Bishop of Canterbury 3 L. Finch Chancellor 4 Earl of Shalsburry Lord President of the Council 5 Earl of Anglesay Privy Seal 6 Duke of Albemarle 7 Duke of Monmouth Master of Horse 8 Duke of Newcastle 9 Duke of Lauderdale Secretary of State for Scotland 10 Earl of Salisbury 11 Earl of Bridgewater 12 Earl of Sunderland Secretary of Stato for England 13 Earl of Essex 1 st Commissioner of the Treasury 14 E. of Bath Groom of the Stool 15 Viscount Falconbridge Viscount Hallifax 16 Lord Bishop of London 17 Lord Roberts 18 Lord Hollis 19 Lord Russel 20 Lord Cavendish 21 Henry Coventry Esquire Secretary of State 22 Sir Francis North Lord Cheif-Justice of Common Pleas. 23 Henry Capel Knight of the Bath and 1st Commissioner of the Admirality 24 Sir John Ernley Knight Chancellor of the Exchequer 25 Sir Thomas Chichely Knight Mr of the Ordinance 26 Sir William Temple 27 Edward Seymor Esqr 28 Henry Poule Esqr Take notice We have stept back to bring up the the English Plot and other Affairs of Brittain begun in 1678 and join them now to the year 1679. The King finding his new Parliament slow in advancing Money for disbanding the Army Parliament dislolved and one called to sit the â—7 of October 1679 and withall beginning to nible at a Bill for Excluding the Duke of York first he prorogues them from the twenty seventh of May to the fourteenth of August and in the mean time July the twelth he dissolves them So as this Parliament proved as short lived as the former was long And another Parliament is called to sit the seventeenth of October following SECT 6. Sect. 6 At this time troubles began to arise in Scotland for on the first of June a great party of the Presbeterions to the Number of fifteen Hunder'd Rendevouz'd under the Command of Robert Hamilton at Lowden-hill and Marching to Glasgow from thence Issued a Declaration Covenanters up in Armes in Scotland giving their reasons for taking up of Armes But this business has been so often and so fully published and so universally known as I think a repetition or a particular Relation of the progress and event altogether unnecessary farther then to tell you that the King sent the Duke of Monmouth speedily down to Scotland who so managed the matter Defeated by the Duke of Monmouth June 22. 1679. that on the twenty second of June Encountering this ill governed multitude at Bothuel-bridge he defeated them totally near eight Hundered being killed and a greater Number taken And so an end was put to this undertaking Tho the main designe was to render the Duke of Monmouth Odious to the Presbiterians Duke of Monmouth declared a Baâ—â—aâ—d by sending him on this expedition yet it proved quite otherwayes for the whole Protestant party were now so affrayed of a Popish Successor that they cast their eyes on Monmouth so favourably as they lookt on him as the only Person after the Kings death to stave off the Succession of his Brother whom they so much dreaded so this project failing the next was to declare him â—llegitâ—â—te which on the third of March following the King did very solemnly giving it in writing with his own hand it these words Given under the Kings hand For the avoyding of any dispute which may happen in time to come Concerning the Succession of the Croun I do hereby declare in the presence of Almighty GOD that I never gave nor made any Contract of Marriage noâ— was Married to any Woman in whatsoever but to my present wife Queen Kathaâ—â—â—e now living CHARLES REX Whitehall March the third 1679. CHAP. V. Anno 1680. An. 1680. Duke of York returns to England About the latter end of August 1680 the King fell sick which the Duke of York heâ—ing of he came to England and on the second of September went to the King at Windsor the Consequent whereof was the Banishment of the Duke of Monmouth Monmouth banished who reteired to Vtrecht and a little after the Duke of York went back to Bruss is but with no design to stay long there for on the twelth of October he with his whole Family arrived at St James's to the astonishment of many And on the twenty seventh of November after Both return soon to England All Monmouths places taken from him the Duke of Monmouth came to London being welcomed by the Citizens with all possible expressions of Joy which so displeased the Court and Irritated the King as all his
the Gulf of Prevesa And Landing some Forces raised two Batteries on the East and West sides of the Town which after some resistance He takes Sancta Maura surrendered on Articles about the latter end of July wherein they found Eighty peices of Brass-Cannon and great quantity of Ammunition and Provisions From thence the Captain General Steers towards Prevesa and lays Seige to it the 20th of September And plying it briskly with Cannons and Bombs by Sea and Land till the twenty eight And Prevesa the Enemy desired to Capitulate and Articles being agreed on they Matched out on the 30th of September leaving behind them Fourty four Cannon eighteen whereof shot a fifty pound Ball with a great quantity of Ammunition and Provisions After which the Venetians went to their Winter Quaters at Corsu The Venetian Troops were successful in Dalmatia also this Campaign Venetians successful in Dalmatia for they beat the Turks in several small Rencounters making Incursisions into their Quarters An. 1685. and still returning with Victory and Booty They took in the Isle of Narenta and the Castle of Narim and then retired to their Winter Quarters And so we conclud this year 1684. CHAP. X. Anno 1685 Death of King Ch the 2d The first thing remarkable in the year 1685. is The Death of Charles the 2d King of great Brittain who dyed of an Appoplexy on Saturnday the 7th of February in the 37. year of his Reign after he had lived 54 years 8. Moneths and 8 days passing over the the first part of the Character my Author gives of him I take notice only of the latter part His Character which says he was a Prince the most fit to govern of any other and applyed himself the least to it which was great pity since he had such an insight into Men and things that no Monarch of his Age could pretend to compare with him besides a mild Disposition which made him at his Death be so universally Lamented by all sorts of his Protestant Subjects especially by the Dissenters and that more out of fear of his Successor then any great kindness to him A witty Quaker appearing very jovial and all about him seeming sad was asked his reason for being so who Answered They had two to deal with before and now GOD he thanked they had but one Now the Duke of York ascends the Throne and the same day his Brother dyed King James Speech to the Privy Council Assembled the Council and declared that he intended to follow his Brothers example in clemency and tenderness to his People That he would make it his business to preserve the Government both in Church and State as established by Law he commended the Church of Englands Pâ—inciples and Members and that as he would never depart from the just Prerogatives of the Crown so he would never invade any Mans Property King James being solemnly Crowned at Westminster the twenty third of April 1685 King James Crowned He appoints a Parliament to meet the Twenty second of May after to whom Repeating much of what he had said to the Council His Speech to the Privy Council repeated to the Parliament and his demand of Money he proceeded to the demanding a large supply of Money laying before them many plausible Reasons and Arguments for moving them thereto The Parliament being in a manner fashioned and moulded before to his Inclinations not only settled the Customs and temporary Excise upon him as they were before upon his Brother but laid a new Imposition upon Wines Vinegar Sugar Tobacco and other Commodities so as in short his revenue with the hereditary Excise and other Revenues of the Crown amounted to Two Millions four hundered thousand Pounds per annum Which is granted to which add an Hundered and fifty thousand Pounds per annum which he had when Duke of York the whole amounted to Two Millions and five hundered and fifty thousand Pounds per annum SECT 2. Sect. 2 The King then acquainted the Parliament That he had News from Scotland of the Earl of Argyles Landing in the Highlands Argyle lands in Scotland That he had put out two Declarations one of which he presently communicated to them Which is so generally known in Scotland and elsewhere as saves me the Labour of repeating it here To be short in a few dayes after the Earl's small Forces were dissipated and each Man shifted for himself And he himself falling unhappily into the hands of a Country-man was soon after brought to Edinburgh He is taken and Executed at Edinburgh he dyed very piously where for his former unpardonable Crime reqâ—ireing care should be taken for the Protestant Religion and for explaining himself on taking the Test this brave tho unfortunate Man was beheaded June the 30. But a blacker Cloud appeared about this time in the West of England Monmouth lands in England by the Duke of Monmouths Landing at Lyme in Dorset-shire on the 12. of June where he presently put out an ample Declaration in his own name and the rest of his followers Which Declaration being very large and being generally known all Brittain over I shall now overpass The Prince of Orange hearing of Monmouths Landing in England Prince of Orange offer to King James presently sends over the Six English Regiments in the Dutch Service and Pay and by Monsieur Benting not only offers King James the loan of his Troops but to come in person and command his Army if his Majesty pleased But before Benting reached London Skelton King James Envoy at the Hague had sent the King so bad a Character of the Prince Rejected as he told Benting that their common Interest required the Princes stay in Holland and hinted as much to him as he thought his Zeal for his Service was not seasonable at that time and this was the thanks the Prince had for his Service offered Providence so favoured King James at this time as the Duke of Monmouths Forces are defeated at Sedgemore Monmouth Executed and he being taken soon after was brought to London and Beheaded on the 15. of July Jessereys Bloody Work in the West Hereupon followed the Tragical proceedings in the West The Lord chief Justice Jessereys being cloathed with a Commission of Oyer and Terminer to try and prosecute all who had any way appeared or concurred with Monmouth At Dorchester 30. being Impeached he hang'd Twenty nine of them and again of two hundered and fourty three eighty suffered and almost as many at Exeter at last he finished his Bloody Assizes at Tauntoun and Wells where above 500. were Condemned and of them 239. were Executed Yet for all his Bloody Humour Covetousness put in for a share For he had the Conscience to take Fourteen thousand and Five hundered Pounds for saving the Life of one Man And Kirks also Nor was Collonel Kirk much short of him in Cruelty for at Taunton he caused Ninety
King of Great Britain he would take it as a Rupture of the Peace and resent it accordingly SECT 4. Sect. 4 Soon after this King James is informed more certainly of the preparations in Holland and that the design was against him England and believed it so And now began to turn Car in pan declaring in Council on the 2d of October that he would restore the Charter of London and on the 5th declared that he would dissolve the Commission for Ecclesiastical Causes King James allarm'd And impowers the Bishop of Winchester to resettle all the Affairs of Magdalen Colledge but hearing of the disaster of the Dutch Fleet at Sea he recalled that Commission and hearing afterward of their approach he renewed it again so sickle was he and so at last the said Bishop perfected that business The Wind continued for three Weeks still at west and in London the question every Morning was have we a Protestant Wind yet and a Seaman cursed openly the Dragon on Bow steeple for turning his Head where his Tayle should be But about the latter end of October the Wind came Easterly Prince of Orange lands at Torbay and the Dutch Fleet consisting of near five hundred Saile whereof there were fifty one Men of War and eighteen Fire Ships came with a fair Gale upon the English Coast and Landed all safe at Torbay the 5th of November And in a short time the Princes Army was encreased by the Junction of diverse persons of good quality with him And soon after his Declaration was published Which was dated at the Hague the 10th of October 1688. His Declaration published The substance whereof was a Relation of the Subversion and Violation of all the Laws of England both in Church and State all which he imputed to the Kings Evil Councellors which disorders could not possibly be rectified nor Affairs regulated but by a lawful and Free Parliament the calling and sitting whereof was the main cause of his coming to England The Declaration being very large and withal supposing it well known to all intelligent observing persons I thought the transcribing of it unnecessary Prince of Orange writes to the Protestant Officers in England About the same time The Prince wrote a Letter to all the Protestant Officers in the Kings Army laying before them their Error in joining with a Popish party and their dauger if they persisted and earnestly invited them to concurr with him for preservation of the Protestant Religion and freedom and Priviledges of the Subjects This Letter did very much influence most of those to whom it was directed About the midle of November the Lord Delamare came to the Prince with a considerable â—arty Association at Exeter Before the Prince left Exeter there was an Association drawn and Sworn to by all the Nobleâ—en and Gentlemen then present for a close adherence to the Prince of Oranâ—e and to one another an prosecuting of that work they now engaged in and for avengeing the Princes Death if done by any barbarous indirect means The 1st Bloodshed On the 20th of November a Skirmish happened at Winâ—anton between eighty Horse and Dragoons Commanded by Sarsfield and thirty of the Princes Horse Commanded by one Campbel where notwithstanding the inequality of the Number the former were defeated which much daunted King James's Army and as much encouraged the other party Associâ—â—ion aâ— Notâ—ingham On the 22d of November The Nobility and Gentry assembled at Nottingham delaring their just greivances in eight material points and implying many moe indefinitly Associate and bind themselves much to the same purpose as these at Exeter had done The Nobility about the King labour earnestly to perswade him to call a free Parliament but he continued inexorable Prince George Dukes of Graslon and Ormond and other Nobles go to the Prince On which the Duke of Graston the Lord Churchil and several other Noblemen lest him and went over to the Prince then as Sherbâ—â—â— And on the 25th of November Prince George the Duke of Ormond and Sir George Hewet followed them Before Prince George went off he wrote to the King a very pertinent Letter for his Excuse as did also the Lord Churchil and Princess Ann withdrawing privatly from London after the Princes departure left a very passionate Letter to the Queen begging her Majesties pardon for leaving the City without her leave and waiting upon her The King comes to London The 26. of November the King returns to London and Issuâ—s writes for a free Parliament to sit the 15 of January but this was too late for by this time the Nation was generally in such a ferment as nothing he could either do or promise would appease them The Prince of Orange understanding that most of the considerable Cities and Towns in England had complyed published as was said another Declaration at Sheâ—burne Castle the 28. of November But it appeared soon after by the Princes disowning it that this Declaration was contrived by some private person who had put his name to it to give it Authority The main purport of the Declaration was a strict order to all Magistrates both in the Cities and Countrey to disarme and secure all Papists and tho this was a bold and presumptuous attempt of a private person yet it happened to have very good effects Proposals by the King to the Prince The Prince of Orange being at Windsor the King sends â—aâ—â—â—sax Nottingham and Godolphine to him desiring him to make what proposals he thought necessary for sitting of the Parliament and for their security while they sat The King leavs London They return the next day with seven Proposals which were so unsatisfying to the King as that night he left London and went to Rochester Before he went he wrote to the Lord Feversham Exhorting him and all the Officers to continue him in their Loyal Principles but gives him no orders for any Action On Receipt of which Letter Feversham disbands his Forces being about Four thousand and presently after acquaints the Prince therewith by a Letter Returning the 16 of December On the 16 of December the King returns to London being advised and invited thereto by some Lords On the 17. at twelve at Night he receives a Letter from the Prince advising his removal to Ham Goes to Rochester but he inclining rather to go to Rochester moves that to the Prince who assented and so on the 18. he goes thither accompanyed with the Earl of Arran and some others That same day the Prince came to St. James's innumerable Acclamations The Prince comes to London Bells and Bon-fires signifying how welcome a Guest he was to London King James and the Queen go to France On the 23 of December the King Embarked at Dover for France the Queen Landing there the 10th Before he went he left a Letter written with his own hand declaring his Reasons for leaving the Kingdom desiring it
called a Council of War wherein he declared he was resolved to attack the Enemy the next Morning which the Duke of Shomberg disswaded but finding the King positive it was concluded and orders was given to all Men to be at their Posts and in readiness on a Minutes warning each Man to have a Green sprig in his Hatt the Enemies Sign being White-paper That Night the King Rod at 12 a Clock quite thorow the Army with Torch-light Battle of Boyne And on the next day being the 1st of July followed that Memorable and happy Battle whereof to my great satisfaction I was an Eye-witness and had better opportunity than any other to take notice of all the various passages that happened that day being tyed to no post but left at my own Liberty to Gallop to and again and to make particular observation of all occurrences my Employment and Duty at that time strickly obliging me thereto The circumstances of that Engagement were so various and numerous as a particular rehearsal would not only require a great dale of time of Writing but make my Compâ—nd swell above its proper bulk so as must referr the Reader either to such Narratives as he has formerly seen or to my Author when he comes abroad whose Information in that matter I own to be very good for he gives a very full and true account of that days proceedings and I can find nothing material wherein his Intelligence has failed except in that point relating to Leivtenent General Hamilton where he says the King asked him being then Prisoner if the Irish would Fight any more who Answered Yes an 't please Your Majesty upon my Honour I beleive they will c. Now to my certain knowledge there was no such Dialogue for when Major Cha. Butler Brother to the Duke of Ormond and I brought him to the King on his return from beating the left wing of the Enemies Horse all the King said to him was Sir I am sorry to see you there to which Hamilton made no Reply at all nor did he bow or pay the King the least Reverence but standing like a statue with an assured Countenance looked him earnestly in the Face and when the King was turning away from us I asked His Majesty what we should do with the Leivtenent General carry him up said he to my Horse-guards and order the commanding Officer to take care of him which we did accordingly and for Wounds in his Head he had none but a little scratch on his Nose which he told me he got when his Horse being killedâ— fell under him The Irish Army defeated This breif account I will only give when the Enemy were beaten from all their Posts on the River they made a Retreat of four or five Miles and indeed in better order than was expected for their Horse Marched on the Reer and still when our advanced parties came near them they made an halt faced about and with two or three small Guns they had carryed off Fired and put our Men to a stand till their Foot were got a pretty way off and then their Horse followed And I well remember that Leivtenent General Dougass was passionatly concern'd that the King would not suffer him to attack them with the Irisâ—killiners who were so furious as they would have fallen on them with their Swords or with Stones rather than fail but the King pursued them slowly contenting himself with driving them quite out of the Field and scising their Camp and all their Baggage and having followed them till Ten at Night he returned to Dewlâ—â—k and Encamped there Of the Enemy were killed a Thousand five hundred besides we know not how many were killed among Corn and in Houses Gardens and Backsidâ—s about Dewlâ—â—k of whom no certain account could be gotten And of Officers the Lords Dungan and Carlinâ—sord Sir Neal O'â—eal and many Inferiors On our side were killed about Four hundered which had not been so much noticed had not the renouned Duke of Shomberg been of the Number Duke of Shomberg killed who was unfortunatly killed on the very brink of the River presently after he had led the first Batallions through the Foord He was a Man of incomparable parts and dyed here the 81 Year of his Age Monsieur Callimâ—t Collonel of a French Regiment was killed also and was much bemoaned being a Religious good Man and an Experienced Old Souldier The King managed all Affairs that day to admiration which the very Enemy took so much notice of as they declared If the English would change Kings with them they would Fight the Battle overgain But Old England beg'd their Excuse King James fled that night to Dubline King James fled to Dubline thence to Waterford and then to France The Lady Iâ—â—connel asked what his Majesty would have to Supper said he I have got such a Breakfast as I have no great Stomack for Supper And next Morning he took Post for Waterfoord and within two days he went Aboard and so set Sail for France once again Drogheda yeilds Next day after the Battle the King rested allowing his Men some time to refresh themselves but withal sent Collonel Melonier with some Regiments to attack Drogheda which Surrendered on Articles to march out with their Baggage without Armes The King marches to Dubline The 3d. day after the Battle The King marched within two Miles of Dubline from thence he sent Leivtenent General Douglass with three Regiments of Horse two of Dragoons and ten of Foot towards Athlone Fifty Miles Northwest of Dubline where he arrived the 17 of July and presently Summond the Town but Old Collonel Grace the Governour fired a Pistol towards Douglass Leivtenent General Douglass to Athlone saying these were the Terms he was to Douglass made some attempts on the Castle which was very strong both by nature and Art but in vain for his Cannon were too small for such service and having advice that Sarsfeild was on his March towards him with Fifteen thousand Men On the 25th he marched off having lost about Thirty Men at the Town besides Three hundred lost by other Disâ—sters The King on the 11 of July marched the Army to Kâ—â—kulien Bridge Germany and so onward by easy marches to Carrick Waterfood and Duncanon Fort yeild where he arrived the 21 from thence he sent Major General Kirk with a party to Waterfoord which on the 25 the Irish Surrendered marching out with Armes and Haggage And a few days after the strong and regular Fort of Duncannon well furnished with Guns surrendered also The King goes to Dubline and returns On the 27 the King went towards Dubline in order for England but coming there he had account from England that Affairs were not so bad as he heard and feared he returned to the Camp then at Golden Bridge On the 22d of August And on the 27 he marched to Carrickae-Glâ—â—sh Douglass returns and joins the King where
Douglas and his party joined him the day following SECT 12. Sect. 12 From thence the King Marches towards Lamrick And on the 9th the Army made their approach to the City in excellent order Seige of Lamrick And though the Irish had considerable parties of Horse Dragâ—ons and Foot posted advantagiously in inclosed Grounds and behind hedges for near two Miles from the Walls of the Town the English went resolutely on beating and driving the Enemy from hedge to hedge to their very Walâ—s losing but 11 or 12 Men in that difficult and hazardous enterprize and before five at Night the Army was posted and the Seige formally laid That Night the King sent a Summonds to the Governour to yeild which he utterly rejected and so they went to Work It 's Reported that a French Man and a Gunner deserted the Army the day before and getting into Limrick gave a particular account of the Artillery which was coming from Dubline Whereon Sarsfieâ—ld with a body of Horse passed the River in the Night time Sarsfeid takes the Artillery at Cullin far above Limrick and marching about through the Hills on the 12. of August fell in upon the Train by day break at Cuâ—len killed about sixty of the Guard and of the Waggoners The Troopers pickt up as much of the best of the Baggage as they could carry away with them and then drew together the Carriages Waggons Tin-boats Ammunition and all the provisions into a heap about the Cannon and filling them full of Powder and putting their Muzles under the Ground laid a short Train and at their marching off fired it which blew up the whole heap with a hideous noise The Night before Sir John Lanter was ordered out to Cullen being within 9 Miles with Six hundred Horse to bring the Artillery safe into the Camp but he came too late by an hour in which time Sarâ—fiâ—â—ld was got out of his reach This unhappy adventure was very unpleasing to the whole Army however the Seige went on and the Trenches were opened on the 17 Batteries are presently raised and it happening that at the blowing up of the Train at Cullin Two of our Cannon Twenty four Pounders escaped spliting these were brought up and mounted which did special good service dureing the Seige My Author says That it would be an endless task to trace particularly all the attacks and defences made at this Seige And I say so too being present at it so passing by circumstances of the proceedings I shall as he does give you an account of the most material Action and of the Conclusion of this unsuccessful enterprise After a breach had been made over the black Battery Limrick attackt nigh St. Johns Gate of about twelve Yards in length On Wednesday the 27th of August the King ordered the Counterscarp to be attackt and the signal being given half an hour after three afternoon the Granadeers went boldly on and in a Trice beat the Irish quite from the Coâ—nterscrap they flying to the breach the Granadeers pursued and lodged themselves upon the breach whereon many of the Irish forefook both the breach and the Walls and fled in to the Town and had not the Regiments that were to second the Granadeers The Asseliants beaten off stopt by some unhappy mistake they might undoubtedly have carryed the Town at that first Assault but the Irish observing that the attack was not pursued and pushâ— on with that vigour as they expected and feared return'd to the Breach and so pepper'd the English with incessant fireing as after three houres resistance they were forced to retreat The Brandenhurgers at this time had got upon the Black battery closs by the Breach where a great deal of the Enemies Powder lay which unhappily taking sire blew a great many of them into the Air and falling down again on the hedge-stakes which were fixed round the Battery there they hung like Skar-Crows At this Attack there were killed five hundered and above a Thousand Wounded and the Army was so greived at this unexpected repulse and the King himself so much concern'd as he resolved to raise the Seige The King goes for England And so the very next day he went to Dunâ—annon accompanyed with the Prince of Denmark and several other Lords and on the 5th of September took ship and arrived at Kings-road near Bristol the day following and on the 9th he went to Windsor Before he left Limrick he appointed the Lord Sidney and Thomas Conninâ—by Esquier Lord Sidney and Thomas Coninsby Esqueir Lord Justices Lords Justices of Ireland and Count Solms General of the Army who going to England soon after left the Command to the brave General Ginkle Within three days after the Kings departure General Solms breaks up the Seige and dispersed the Army into Winter Quarters The Seige broak up On the 21 of Septermber The Earl of Marelborough with some Forces arrived in Cork â—arbour and being joyned by the Duke of Wirtemberg Major General Scravenmore Major General Tetteau and Four thousand of their Forces on the 26 He presently formed the Seige Cork yeilded which continued not long for they plyed the Town so warmly as Collonel Mckillicut the Governour came to a Parley and surrendered the Garison consisting of Four thousand were made Prisoners of War Kinsale yeilded and all the Ammunition and Armes in the Town delivered up to the Victors And before the fifteenth of October Kinsale and both the Forts were surrendered to Marlburrough Leaving Ireland We step over now to inspect how Affairs go between the Confederates and the French King The Duke of Savoy having continued neutral hitherto The French King presses him to declare And in the mean time for security of his Neutrality requires the Citadeâ—s of Verceil and Turin to be put into his hands which motion being declin'd by Savoy and France becoming more and more suspicious of him Monsieur Catinat is commanded to march the French Troops as far as Turin which he did yet forbearing for a time all Acts of Hostility Duke of Savoy joins with the Confederates The Duke of Savoy having spun out the time as long as he could by some unsatisfying Overtures to the French King at last openly declares himself and allying himself first with the Empeperour and the King of Spain soon after he Embarques with all the Confederates The first Article of his Treaty with the Emperour was this He engages not to enter into any Treaty of Allyance with the most Christian King without consent of the Emperour show he kept this Article the World knows and the next Article was he engages himself to act jointly with the Emperour and the rest of the Confederate Princes against France and her Adherents The Articles betwixt the Emperour the King of Spain and the Duke of Savoy are written at length by my Authour The Summ of all being a full and firm mutual Confederacy against France Defensive and Offensive together with some
both Armies Decamped and moved towards Carignan the Duke taking the start of the Enemy sent a strong Detachment before which â—ossest themselves of Caâ—ignan and in a few hours after came the French indeavoureing to regain that Important place but were repulsed and beaten off with the loss of Monsieur de Savon and many of their Men At Lucren But the French received a greater blow in the Vailies of Peidmont for they having three Thousand Foot and six Squadrons of Horse and Dragoons Câ—mmanded by Monsieur de Fâ—uquteres at Lucern Monsiâ—ur de Loches having with him three Thousand of the Pâ—edmout Militia and a considerable party of Vaudois and French Exiles Attacked them and beat them out of Lucern and pursued them to Briqueras putting their Infantry into the Town and Castle and their Horse and Dragoons to cover them And at Briqueras But the Vaudois Attacked them so briskly as they first routed the Horse and Dragoons and in a short time drove the French both out of the Town and Castle and pursued them as far as Mission loseing all the while but forty eight Souldiers and nine Officers But the French lost twelve Hundred with several great Officers besides many wounded Duke of Savoy beaten at Salusses who were carried in seventeen Waggons to Pignerol But soon after this Catinat pay'd them off soundly at Salusses where on the 18th of August the Duke and he Joyned Battle and after an obstiuat Fight for some hours the Dukes Army betook themselves downright to flight many of them being drowned in the Po the Duke himself reteired with a part of his Tronps to Carignan haveing lost as the French say four Thousand Men eleven great Guns and all his Baggage the French loseing only one Hundred and fifty and four Hundred wounded The Duke haveing put four Thousand Men into Cartgnan and secured Carmâ—gnola reteired to Monclaâ—r to Recruit his Army and to wait for the German Troops Who coming up to him together with some Milanese Troops he found himself near twenty Thousand strong with which force he Decamped from Monclair the 16th of September and advanced towards Catinat who stood his ground Monsieur St Ruth in the mean time reduced all Savoy and brought them under the French Kings obedience for which good service he is made Governour of it with an Annual Pension of four Thousand Lavers Suza yeelded to â—rtinat Suza is a strong City being so situat as every King of France who intended aâ— Invasion of Italy coveted the Possession of it for it opened a passage out the Dauphinate into Piedmont This City Catinat Beseiges and Count de Lande the Governour haveing in it only seven Hundred Men without any resistance Surrenders it on Terms to March to Tuâ—â—n with Armes and Baggage We gave you formerly an Account of the Duke of Savoys Alliance with the Emperour and Spain Tho the Count de Latour his Envoy had in the main concerted All affaires betwen the King of England and the States of Holland and the Duke of Savoy at the Hague yet the Duke thought fit on his late ill Successe to send him to England to Congratulate his Majesties Glorious Accession to the Crown and to insinuat a more strict Alliance and a greater considence in and dependence on his Majesties favour And here we shall leave the Dukes Affaires and Inspect into those of Hungary in this year where we shall find quite another face of things then we left them in last year SECT 15. Sect. 15 Early this year ten Thousand Tartars fel into Albania Destroyeing all with fire and Sword Hungaryt the Duke of Hoâ—stein who Commanded there finding himself unable to cope with so great a force The Duke of Holstein defeated kept himself with all possible care from Engadgeing but the Taâ—ars being strengthened by the Turke pursued and at last surprized him and forced him to Engage and tho he made a vigorous resistance they over powering him with numbers at last defeated him totally killing no less then five Thousand Germans The Tartars flushed with this successe The Tartars over run Albania sixteen Thousand of them entered into Warachia and over run all the Countrey with their accustomed Crueltys General Heuster finding himself too weak to deal with them was forced to reteire into Transilvanta Canissa yeelâ—ed to the Emperour To comfort the Imperialists a little after these losses The strong Garison of Canissa in the lower Hungary being blocked up for almost two years was surrendered to them The Prince of Baden showed very much aversion to the service this Campaign so as it was the first of August before he came to the Army and when he came the first news he met with was that the Grand-Visier had laid Seige to Nissa with thirty Thousand Foot and ten Thousand Horse that the Serasquier had laid Seige to Widin with ten Thousand Men And Count Teckeley with near sixteen Thousand was entered Transilvanta given him by the Grand Signior now that Prince Abastâ—â— was dead The Prince in all these straits Count Teckeley defeats General Heuster and takes him prisoner called and consulted a Council of War wherein it was concluded that Nissa and Widin should be laid a side and Transilvanta releived but before he could get thither Teckeley had possessed himself of almost the whole Cuntrey and surrounding Heuster and four Thousand Germans being all the Forces he then had he killed the one half and took the rest Prisoners not above three hundred of them who escaped death or servitude Heusler himself being taken and Teckeley as a mark of his Victory sent the Grand-Segnior a great many Cullors and Kettle-drums Nissa yeelded to the Turks Now we return to Nissa which was kept by Count Guidâ— of Staremberg and twenty five Hundred Souldiers with abundance of resolute resistance for a long time but he hearing of the defeat of Heusler and of the Prince of Badens March to preserve Transilvania and seing no hopes of any releif and with all his provisions growing very searce on the 8th of September he Capitulated and upon very Honourable Conditions Surrendered And after many Hardships and Hazards by the Enemies Breach of promise he came to Belgrade the 22d Widin yeelded to the Turks The Garison of Widin hearing of the loss of Nissa Surrendered also the 29th of September The Grand Visier soon after took Semendria by Storme and put all to the Sword being nine Hundred except the Lievetenent who commanded and a few other Officers and on the first of October laid Seige to Belgrade defended by Count Aspremout and and six Thousand old German Souldiers Belgrad beseiged who behaved themselves Valiantly and would have doubtles made a long debate but for an unhapy accident for a Bomb from the Turks Camp lighting upon a Tower where the Magazin lay set it on sire which blowing up killed above twelve Hundred of the Beseiged and wounded a great many threw down the Walls

Sect. 3 The great overthrow at Mohatz with the loss of Butschin Esseck and Agria caused a great deal of discontent amongst the Turks both in the Army and at the Port. Which was increassed by an irreconciliable feud between the Grand Visier and Osman Basha the latter getting the Ascendant of the former in the Affections of the Souldiers gets the Army to Mutinee against the Grand Visier who thereupon fled to Costantinople after whom Osâ—an sent four Deputies who informed the Grand Seigniâ—r of many Malversations of the Grand Visier and pâ—â—vails so far as to get Osman advanced to that Command however the Mutinous Army Marches on towards Constantinpole The Grand Viser behâ—â—ded and the Grand Seignior being assâ—aâ—ed of their rage and designing to apâ—â—â—ase them sends them the head of Solyman the late Grand Visier together with many fair â—romises of full satisfaction notwithstanding this they advance The Sultan Mahomet â—earing his being deposed designes to cut off his brother Solyman and his own Sons also supposing this the surest way â—o continue himself in the Goverament Sulâ—an Mahâ—met deposâ—â— and his brother Soâ—â—man set on his Throne when there was none left of the Royal Lyne to set on the Throne but this his wicked and Bloody project being discovered by the Caimacan the Musti the Caydelesker and several otâ—ers of the Grand Ministers they clap him up in prison and set his brother Solyman on the Throne which presently brought all maters into a tolerable Setlement Venetians SECT 4.

Morta and Romalia and the City and Castle of Lepanto From thence the Captain General made Sail to Corinth and when he came there he found it abandoned and set on sire by the Turks which he took care in all hast to extinguish After which the Castle of Fornesse yeilded and all the Villages about Corinth submitted as did also the ancient and renowned City of Sparta and the Cities of Cartena and Drobloghina sent him their Keyes and voluntarly submitted And after this on the 20th of September he Arrived at the old samous Atheus which presently capitulated and surrendered And now the Season growing Stormy and his Forces being much weakened by supplying so many Garisons lately fallen in his hands he thought fit to ly by a while and give his Men soâ—erepose till he should receive farther orders from Ventre Peland SECT 5.

Sect. 2 A Convention of the States of Scotland met about this time and the Throne is declared Vacant there also Act of Recognition in Scotland and an Act of Recognition is drawn up which is so generally known as I need nor here repeat it Only the substance of it was to declare the now King and Queen of England c. to be King and Queen of Scotland also And the same Oath of Allegiance as was Sworn in England to be Sworn in Scotland also William and Mary declared King and Queen of Scotland This Act being past The Earl of Argyle Sir John Dâ—lrymple and Sir Robert Montgomery of Skermurly are sent up Commissionâ—rs and on the 11 of May tendered the Coronâ—tion Oath to Their Majesties who holding up their Right Hands repeated it word by word after the Earl And immediatly the Convention was turned into a Parliament Castle of Edinburgh surrendered On the 13. of June the Duke of Gordon Sur rendered the Castle of Edinburgh And on the 16 of July there was an Engagement between Major General Mckay Dundee killed and the Lord Dundee at Kiâ—licrankie where the former was defeated and the latter killed in the Field After whose Death King James's party dwindeled away doing nothing considerable thenceforth For soon after Leivtenent Collonel Cleland with the Earl of Augus's single Regiment engaged with near Four thousand of them at Dunkel and gave them an entire overthrow where the Leivtenent Collonel a very brave Man was unfortunatly killed SECT 3. Sect. 3 Tho matters went backward with King James's party in Scotland Tirconel was Active in Ireland Tirconel Active its Ireland leaving a great many Regiments of the Irish and with all possible Diligâ—nâ—e Arming them and training them up in Martial Exercise to make them capable of Service when ever the late King should hâ—ve use for them The late King bemoaning his Caâ—amity to the Emperour Craved his Assistance Who Answers him with many pertinent and reasonable Exâ—uses Emperors Letter to the late King why he could not be serviceable to him at that time his circumstances being considered and withal gives him a modest but sharp Reprimand for the bad measures he had taken in putting his whole confidence in France and rejecting the offers of such Allies as would have been more freindly and faithfull to him But though the late King had small encouragement from the Emperour Ireland or any other Prince except the French King being informed of Tirconnels diligent endeavours in Ireland The late King goes to Ireland thither he goes with about a Thousand eight hundred French Auxiliaries and landed the 12 of March 1689. and found a great number in Armes for him and almost all the Countrey at his Devotion save a fâ—w in the North who for want of Encouragement and Aid from England were unable to make any considerable debeat and on the 14 of March were defeated by Livetenant General Hamilton at Drumore most of them flying to Londonderry and Inneskillin where they defended themselves with great Bravery till relieved by Collonel Kirks Arrival in the Lough where he lay seven or eight Weeks before he gave any relief to Londonderry being hindered as he alledged by cross Winds though a worse cause was
all this while The French having pretty good successe there last year were contented to be on the defensive only this year Duke of Sâ—â—oy Invades the Dauphinate The Duke of Sovoy in the Month of July marches into the Dauphinate with twenty thousand Men where having pillaged La Roche Chantelouvi and some other Villages he marches to Ambrun which on the 5th day after surrendered to him upon Articles From thence he marched to Guillestre which after a brisk Seige of about 9 days yeelded upon Articles here he got 20 peice of Cannon and the City granted him forty thousand Livers Contribution besides sixty thousand Livers in Gold of the French Kings Money Takes some Towns which he got in the hands of the Treasurer From thence he marched to Gap a City upon the Frontiers of Provence which on the first Summons surrendred Fals sick and returns home He designed the taking of Brianson and Quieras but the smal Pox taking him broke all his Measures and hindred his keeping of what he had Conquered in the Dauphinate so as his Army plundering all the Countrey and burning and destroying what they could not carry away returned home and so ended this Campaign SECT 4. Sect. 4 The Emperour encouraged with the late great Victory at Salankemen thought fit now to attack Great Waradin Hungary which had been Blocked up for some years past and appoints General Heusler for that service Great Waradin taken by Heusler who arrived at the place about the end of April and pushed on the Seige with great vigour to the 30th of May throwing in an infinite number of Bombs and the same day sprung a mine to good purpose he then sent a threatning Summons to the Aga. who answered he would perish in the defence of the Place yet on the 2d of June when he saw all things prepared for a General Assault he beat a Parley and agreed on Articles and surrendered After which the General took a smal Garison on the Danube caled Pescabara And this was all the service was performed on that side also Pescabara during this Campaign This year on the 18th of July the Venetians laid Seige to Canea Venice in the Isle of Candia the gaining whereof they had good hopes at first but by the great policie and valour of the Basha of Retino both their hopes and endeavours were frustrate in so much as they were forced to leave it re-infecta and Sailed away towards Napoli di Malvasia Morosini made Captain General again This with some Incursions of the Turks into the Venetians Territories made the Senate very uneasie so as they began to think of a new Captain General And this Trust and Honour they unanimously devolved on the Serene Doge Morosins who had formerly served the Re-pulick so succesfully and which nothing but his great age made him unwilling to accept off As for the Polish Army they made a shift to get into the Feild in September and in Ostober they Blocked up Caminiec And so for this Campaign exeunt Mr. Robert Boyl dyed this year This year dyed the Famous Robert Boyl Esquire a Philosoper of a particular and extraordinary Character And yet he was so far from Atheism that is too usual for such Speculative heads as he lived and dyed a sincere Christian whereof he gave a convincing Testimony at his death by the Legacie he left to have a Monthly Sermon Preached against Athism On the 7th of June happened a terrible Earthquake in the Island of Jamaica Earthquake in Jamaica in the Town of Port-Royal the cheifest of the English Plantations and the greatest Mart in that part of the World the Town was intirely ruined with the loss of fifteen hundred people And on the 8th of September we had a touch of it in England but did little hurt blâ—ssed be GOD. The Elector of Bavaria and Prince Waldeck dyes On the 24th of December dyed the Serene Electoress of Bavaria in Vienna 23 years old This year also dyed the Valiant Prince Waldeck And this year the Duke of Hanover a Protestant Ptince is Constituted the 9th Electorate of the Empir CHAP. XVIII Anno 1693. SECT 1. In Britain and Ireland England things went well between the King and all his Parliaments An 1693 for Scotland and Ieâ—land appeared very forward in all matters tending to the Common good and safety and to the Kings Honour and Satisfaction and the Parliament of England came nothing short of the Kings expectation and desires passing many Acts and laying on taxes and all for raising of Money for carrying on the War against France For all which the King gave them hearty thanks and Prorogued the Parliament to the 2d of May. and then he went to Holland But before he went he laid aside Admiral Russel for causes to himself best known and constituted Henry Kuligrew Esquire Sir Ralph Delavalle and Sir Clovasley Shoved Commanders of the Fleet this Summer The Smyrna Fleet attached by the Frend. This year our Smyrna Fleet outward bound consisting of near four hundred Saile of several Nations under the Conduct of Sir George Rook with a Squadron of 23 Men of War were attack't by the whole French Fleet. And tho Sir George neglected nothing of the duty of an expert and resolute Captain for the safty of these under his protection yet being over matched by a greafer force he could not prevent a great damage to the Fleet of whom the French burnt â—7 and took 32 Merchant Men. And 2 Dutch Men of war And soon after Sir George brought his Squadron and many Merchant Ships safe in to Kinsale in Ireland SECT 2. Sect. 2 The French Army in Flanders this year did exceed ours in number very much the Troops of Lâ—â—ge being on their march to joyne the King Luxemburg sent out a strong Detachment which surprizing them in the hollow ways charged them smartly and forced Count Tilly who commanded them to retreat towards Mastreicht Huy taken by the French This encouraged Luxemburg to lay Seige to Huy which he invested the 9th of July and in few days had it surrendered to him Which the King hearing of and fearing Luxemburg might attempt Letâ—e being not far from it he sent ten Batalions who with great difficulty got into the Place Luxemburg made as tho he had a design on Leige but he had a greater design really in his head for knowing the King had sent off the Duke of Wertemberg and several other considerable Detachments he resolved on no less then atracking the King in his Camp his Army at this time being thirty five thousand stronger then the Kings Army Luxemburg approaches the Kings Camp And with all carried the matter so closs as tho the King sent out several parties to observe the Enemies motion he could get no certain Intelligence till himself Bavarâ—a and some other Officers took Horse and went out and were not far till they met with Luxemburgs
furious assault but were repulsed with great loss The Seige raised And the General being informed that the Grâ—novisier was on his March â—â—wards him with Eighty thousand Men he broke up the Seige and made his Retreat without any loss And so the Campaign terminated for this Year on that side Return we now to England England So soon as the King came from Holland he discovered a great dislike of the Sea proceedings that Summer The Kings Speech to the Parliament and presently restored Admiral Russel to his Command of the â—leâ—t And in his Speech to the Parliament on the 7th of November he extenuated the disadvantages at Land which was to be imputed to the far greater numbers of the' Enemy but the misâ—aâ—â—iages at Sea be resentâ—d extremely and threatnâ—d those who had neglected their Duty with severe punishment But withal told them of the extraordinary provisions a making by the French for the next Campaign wherof the States of Hollana taking notice had ordered suitable preparations to be made on their part which he desâ—ed the House of Commons to take into consideration hoping they would concert and settle all matters with that speed and diligence as so weighty and important Affaires required The House of Commons came quickly to a resolution of complying with his Majesties desire for encreasing the Forces both by Sea and Land Bembow's Bombing and Burning some part of Sâ— Malois about this time Prince Laâ—â—â—s of â—â—den comes to England gave some sort of satisfaction to Mens Minds though it made no repatation of our late great loss at Sea And so we â—â—oâ—e this Year on the last day whereof the brave brince â—â—wis of Baden came to Wuâ—â—ehall and next day went to wait on the King at Kinsington An. 1694 who received him with great civility and kindness CHAP. XIX Anno 1694. SECT 1 Sect. 1 This year begins with the sad disaster befell our Fleet in the Medtterrancam where by a violent storm on the 18. and 19 of February Sir Francis Wheellers ship was Founched himself and all his Men lost Sir Francis Wheeler ship wrackt And besides this 9 English ships and 3. Dutch all of good value were driven a shore on the Est side of Gibraltar and most of the Men were drowned but Admiral Neville and the rest of the Fleet happily escaped Parliament prorogued to the 18th of September The Parliament having ordered all things according to the Kings mind by the midle of April he gave them hearty thanks for their kindness to him this Session and so Prorogued them to the 18. of September and soon after he went for Flanders Admiral Russâ—l was early at Sea with our Fleet which was now in very good condition using all means to draw the French to a Fight which they as carefuly avoided and raither than put it to that hazard being Conscious of their own weaknes they chuse makeing a stop into the Mediterranean whither Admiral Russâ—l followes them but before he went he sent off Captain Pickard with 2 Men of War and one Fireship to attack a Fleet of 55. Sail of French Merchant Men lying then in Bertraume Bay which Pickard performed effectually for he burnt and sunk 35 of the 55 Merchants and run the Man of War there Convoy among Rocks and soon after she blew up The Lord Berkâ—eys attempt on Bresâ— Here followes in course the unfortunate attempt made on Brest by the Lord Berkley Admiral of the blew Squadron with 29 Men of War besides smal Fiâ—gats Fireships Well-boats Bomb vessels c. having with him also a considerable number of Land forces under the Command of the resolute Leivtenant General Talmash A Narrative of this unsuccesful Expedition is fully given by the Marquis of Carmarthen Unsuccessful there present to which I refere the reader having no stomach to make a relation of such an unhappy adventure In short besides the damage done to the Ships there were lost four hundred belonging to the Ships and of the Land Forces seven hundred were killed wounded and taken besides the brave Talmash killed there SECT 2. Sect. 2 We make a step now into Flanders The death of the Bishop and Prince of Leige Death of the Bishop and Funce of Leige had almost made a Rupture amongst the Confederats for the French Kings motion for the Cardinal de Bovillions preferment being rejected by the Chapter one part made choise of the Elector of Cologn Brother to Bavaria and the other of the Grand Moster of the Teutonick order who was Brother in Law to the Emperour Which might have made a Fraction between his Imperial Majesty and the Duke of Bavaria but providence prevented this Elector of Cologn prefered to eige by the death of the Grand Master so as fair way was made for the Elector of Cologn without any difficulty or opposition which strengthned much the Consederats power in Flanders The Army now under the Kings command amounted to thirty one thousand and eight hundred Horse and Dragoons all well mounted Arm'd and equip't and fifty one thousand Foot besides seven thousand under the Command of Count Thun But tho the Dauphines Army was not much inseriour in number he used all indeavours to decline Fighting which when the King could not draw him to he Couped him up under the walls of Huâ— and reduced him to considerable straits for a time Where we shall leave them and look after the English Fleet now in the Channel My Lord Berkley brought the Fleet before Dâ—ip in Normandy on the 12th of July And the Bomb-Galiots taking their proper stations Lord Berkley Bombards Dâ—ep presently began their destructive work for from that evening before 4 the next morning they threw in eleven thousand Bombs and Carcasses Which took so good effect as the whole Town was in a manner reduced to ashes From thence he Sailed to Haver de Grace and on the 26 at even the Bombâ— began and playd till next morning And Havre de Grace and so they left it in little better plight than they did Dâ—â—â— In Flanders I find no memorable Action since we left the Armies near Huy only a hastie march the French Army made to prevent the Confederat Army's getting into French Flanders Huy yeelded by the French as it seems the King had design'd but failing in that he sent the Duke of Holstâ—â—â— Ploen with 16 Regiments of Foot to Beseige Huâ— which was carried on so effectually as on the 27 of September it was yeelded up on Articles that the Garison should be convoyed safe to Namur In Catalonta the French Army consisted of thirty thousand Duke of Noailles takes seâ—â—â—â— under the Command of the Duke of Noaâ—â—lâ—s being much stronger than the Spanish Army and earlier in the Fâ—ild to boot Towns in Catalonta On the 30 of May Noailles Beseiged Palamoâ— which he took on the 7 of June by Storm making Prisoners of War all those who escaped
