An Exact RELATION of the most Remarkable Transactions that happened lately in IRELAND With an Account of a great Sea-Fight between the ENGLISH and FRENCH Fleets Licensed and Entered according to Order THE late King James or rather the French King Lewis having got into their hands all the Towns and Ports in Ireland London-Derry and Inniskilling excepted and by that means stopt all Opportunities of Correspondence by the former Methods we have no Advices thence but what either come by way of Scotland or else by Persons who make their escape by Sea hither as frequently some do even in Gabbards viz. an open Vessel not unlike our Lighters on the Thames Divers of which have arrived near Chester Liverpool and in the West of Stotland one of which lately arrived with 80 Passengers who came from London-Derry and say that garrison had made offers of Surrendring to the late King on Conditions to carry off their Baggage and have their Lives which was at first accepted of but Monsieur D'Aveaux who presides in all Councils would not consent alledging That sort of proceeding was not the way to arrive at the Conquest that must be made in that Kingdom which hath so exasperated and defperated the Garrison as to resolve to hearken to no Conditions but stand it out to the last Man or until it shall please God to give Opportunity for their being reinforced with such sufficient help as to be enabled to take the Field Our last Advices thence say they are Besieged by a great Army but have 7000 Fighting Men in Garrison Arms Amunition and Provisions for two Months and doubt not of holding it having in three Sallies killed many of the Irish and French and amongst the latter a General Officer and it is believed e're this that Major-General Kirk Sir John Trelawney and Sir John Hanmore with their Regiments and the Regiment late Col. Edgworth's now the Earl of Meath's are got safe into Derry On Monday arrived at Chester Col. St. George to Command the Regiment late Col. Richards a Serjent of which for deserting did suffer Death the 7th Instant at Chester and also Collonel Stewart to Command the Regiment late Col. Cunningham's now at Liverpool and the same day went post for London the Collonels that formerly Commanded them The Garrison of London-Derry having for what Cause not yet known a Jealousie that Col. Lundee their Governour was guilty of some Designs upon them they confined him and chose another as you have heard but their Rage continuing and fearing every day to be hang'd he found means to make his escape in a small Vessel which putting in at Grenoch in the West of Scotland and being there known and the Circumstances he was under the Scots secured him and sent him Prisoner to Dumbritton Castle whence on the second Instant he was brought to Edinburgh and will there be Examined Punished or Acquitted The brave Lord Kingston Col. Buchan and divers Persons of Quality are arrived from the North of Ireland to Edinburgh and thence gone for England to wait on the King Some of these Gentlemen say that the present State of the Protestants is scarce conceiveable being surrounded with all sorts of Miseries and labouring under all the Necessities of Humane Life and the daily fears of Death by Barbarous hands having no visible deliverance under God but from England These worthy Persons kept together and in divers Skirmishes killed many of the Irish and defended their Families Neighbours and Friends until Powder Ball and Provisions failed and the Enemy so far advanced that they could not retreat so far as Derry but Embarqued for Scotland first killing all their fine Horses to prevent them falling into the Papists hands Who give out That when they have received their further Succours from France and reduced to Obedience the Heretical Rebels in London-Derry and in Inniskilling they are to march further Northward and Embarque for Scotland But by the Unanimous Zeal of the Convention and People of that Ancient Kingdom their Expectation and Dependance hath deceived them most of the Chiefs of Clanns or Tribes have freely offered their Service for the King and Estates and the rest Cited to give the Bond of Peace for themselves and Vassals Nay the Viscount of Dundee who hath with about 200 Horse rode the length of Murray in the North and amongst the Duke of Gordon's and other of the Highland Clanns cannot get any to obey his Commands or by Perswasion engage any Gentleman to joyn with him no not the Papist Highlanders and such have been the Zeal and dispatch of the Convention that all the Militia both Officers and Souldiers are setled and all good Protestants And above all this the Lord Neile Campbell Sir Hugh Campbell of Caddell and all the Nobility Lords and Lairds whose Territories are in any Danger from an Irish French Invasion have applied to the Convention with Offers of raising and heading many Regiments without Charge to the Publick which is accepted and Powers given them so to do and all the Militia put into Protestants Hands So that it 's believed an Army of 20000 Horse and Foot will sooner be in the North of Ireland from Scotland than Scotland invaded by the French and Irish Army whose very Names are become more odious then seared by the Bratish The French Fleet having in March last Transported the late King into Ireland returned back to Brest where they have lain ever since and being increased unto near Forty Sail of all sorts On Friday Morning April the 26th set Sail again for Ireland having on Board many Land-men a great Sum of Money Arms and Ammunition steering for Kingsale and were met on Monday the 29th at eight at Night seven Leagues Westward of the Cape of Ireland near the Shore the Wind at East by Mr. Andrew Hopkins Commander of the Adventure of Byddiford homewards bound from Mary-Land with Tobacco who says they were in all 37 Sail whereof 20 Capital Ships 8 Fire-Ships the rest Tenders and Fly-Boats with Souldiers one of them made Sail after Hopkins who braced to his Sails and staid for him but the French Admiral fireing a Gun the Frigat left the persuite and borne up to the Fleet who made but a slack Sail most of them having their Top-Sails on the Cap and all in a Line in a fighting posture and believes they were designed for the North of Ireland On Tuesday about eight in the Morning April the 30th Mr. Hopkins met one of Admiral Herbert's Scouts who commanded him on Board and afterwards went to the Admiral and gave him a description of the French Fleet and that they were then about to Leagues to Leeward of our Fleet upon which the Sea-men gave a very great Shout and made all preparations to engage them making also all the Sail they could Our Fleet consisted of 26 Sail without the Fire-Ships who were left in Milford Haven being very Leaky when Mr. Hopkins left our Fleet some of his Men from the Top-mast head
