A particular and full ACCOUNT Of several Great Matters relating to IRELAND OF THE Burning and Destroying several Places by the Popish Army As it was delivered from Colonel Walker Governour of Londonderry and others his Friends which came with him from Ireland to their Friends at Chester August 24. 1689. With an Account of Col. Walkers Reception and Entertainment Licensed August 27. J.F. SIR IT was my good fortune on Wednesday last to meet with Mr. Geo. Walker the Famous Fortunate Governour of Londonderry and others of his company in their way from Edenbourgh to Chester from whence the said Governor goes in the Stage Coach for London where probably you will meet him soon after the arrival of this Letter He has been highly Complemented and Caressed by all sorts of People on the Road and his company is very Acceptable to all who are well wishers to the Protestant interest and I having had the Honour of a former Acquaintance with him took the Liberty to Enquire perticularly of him and his Company concerning the present Posture of Affairs in Ireland especially Londonderry I understand from them that although the Siege was carried on with all possibe Vigour and that the continual throwing in of Bombs into the City which were reckon'd to be about Six hundered and thereby some houses Demolish'd and most of them Defac'd yet the Walls have receiv'd no great Damage their great Guns having made no considerable Impression And that tho the Besieged were Reduc'd to the greatest Extremity Yet their diet was not so extreamly Bad as has been reported and for an Instance take this account That when Coll. Stewart came from the Island of Inch to visit them he was treated at Dinner with a fat Turkey a dish of Chickens and a dish of green Peas and that he in requital for their civility sent them from the Island a Present of 30 milch Cows it is worth the observation that Coll. Michelburn could find a way to preserve two Excellent Horses in a Seller under Ground which he presented to Major General Kirk Upon my farther enquity I find that several of the most antient Persons in Londonderry have survived the miseries of War and Famine as Mr. John Mogridge Alderman Jervice Esq Mr. Robert Shennan and others when on the other side some of the younger and more likely Persons are Dead as Mr. Whittle Minister of Ballyhazzy Mr. Wadmorth Minister of Erigil Dr. Allexander Lindsey Mr. William Church and his Son and many others too tedious to be Recited in this Letter I understand likewise that all the Iron Mills in that Country are Destroy'd That all the Towns and Gentlemens Houses in the Counties of Londonderry Donnegal and Tyrone are burnt to the Ground except the City of Londonderry The Towns of Strabone Colrain Dungannan and Magharfels which last was preserv'd by the kindness of some Irish man whose name I do not yet know he having no mind to be discover'd I understand that Capt. Richard Crofton Mr. Hugh Hammell Mr. Monroe Left. Michelburn and Capt. Robert White a Gentlman who in meer Gallentry left his Estate in England and put himself into Londonderry are all made Colloners of Foot Mr. Allexander Stewart is a Major James Manglin of Mayla Pridge and John Wright of Mory More are Captains Robert Gregory and his Brother Richard Hammon and his two Brothers are Officers and all Establish'd under the Kings pay by Major General Kirk who as we are enformed by some Persons on board the victualing Ships return'd from Londonderry was then in Colrain which the Rebels Deserted upon the news of his Approach and so also did the Rebels at Sligo upon the approach of the Iniskilling Forces leaving Fourteen pieces of Canon behind them It is likewise confirm'd beyond all doubt and question That at the engagment of the Iniskilling men with the Irish Forces there were about three Thousand of the Enemy Kill'd and Drowned that Major-General Macarty being shot through the Arm and the Thigh was taken Prisoner at Wattlibridge and Sixty Officers with him They tell me That the Country about Derry though much Wasted and Uninhabited is yet Clear and Freed from the Irish That the Market in London Derry being to be Supply'd with good Store of fresh Provisions That there is an Appearance of a very plentiful Harvest but much of it will be Lost and Spoyled for want of Labourers to Reap and Save it Major General Kirk has sent Three Ships into Scotland to bring home the Scatter'd and Distressed People who fled thither for Refuge I wish the like Course were taken hereabout that so Multitudes of poor People might be Convey'd back who are not able to pay for their Fraught I spoke with the Master of a Ship lately come from Londonderry who tells me That as he Sail'd hither being near the Coast of Ireland he saw Five or Six of the English Frigats Playing upon Carrickfergus and they off the Castle at them part of the Fleet which attended Duke Schomberg into Ireland returned hither on Monday last who reports That they left him with his Army in Bellfast in which Place a certain Priest with two others of his Crew were so Hardy as to Lurk privately to Spye and take a View of our Forces who being Discover'd and brought Prisoners before the Duke he Generously set them at Liberty desiring them with all Expedition to hasten to their King and give him an Account That he was come so far to make him a Visit and that if it were too much Trouble to him to Travel so far he would be at the Pains to wait upon him at Dublin We expect with much Impatience to hear the Issue of this Expedition into Ireland whether more Horse and Foot are daily Shipping off from these Parts the Success whereof will very much Influence the Restitution of the Protestant Interest there and will particularly Redound to the Advantage of you and of Your humble Servant T.W.
