one Man and then crost over the River is two Boats so suddenly that the Enemy were frighted into a Treaty Balderick O Donnel who designed to throw his Brigade into the place being prevented of his intentions by the prudent management of the General so that July 26. the City of Galloway was actually surrendred Monfieur d'Vssone according to his desire marching out incogn●●o some hours before August 25. The Army came before Lymerick and soon after several Batteries were raised against the Ci●y The General hearing that some Regiments of the Enemies Horse and Rapparees were drawn together in Kerry about sixteen Miles off he sent away Brigadier Levison with Five hundred Horse and Dragoons in pursuit of them which they did so effectually that few of them escaped The English at the Siege advanced to Cromwell's Fort the Enemy quitting both that and their Line of Communication to the Church and returned to their Rettenchments near the Town About the same time the Earl of Tyrconnel died as was certainly said out of anguish of mind to see the ruinous condition of his Masters Affairs and was buried at Lymerick The General having notice that Coll. Henry Lutterel was seized by order of the French Lieutenant General d'Vss●ne for having made some Proposals for a Surrender and that he was sentenced to death by a Court Martial he sent word to the Monsieur by a Trumpet That if any Man were put to death for having a mind to come over to the English he would revenge it double upon the Irish Prisoners which prevented his death Several Forts and Castles about the Town were daily taken in and the Batteries play'd continually upon the City which set it on fire in divers places and ruined the Walls and Castle About the same time the Irish having put between two and three hundred Protestants into a little Island in the Shannon under a sufficient Guard their sad and s●arved condition so moved the compassion of the Irish Officers who guarded them and were also desirous to go over to the English that they sent to Major Stroud who was posted hard by with some of that Militia to let him know their Intentions Upon which the Major went over with a Party in small Boats and brought away both the Guards and Prisoners who were almost starved for want of food in a place where they had only two pitiful Hutts to shelter them from the Cold and Rain Sept. 8. A great Battery of 22 Pieces of Cannon began to play very early in the Morning and in a short time made a Breach of above thirty yards in the English Town and firing without intermission made terrible havock dismounting the Enemies Cannon set the English Town several times on fire and laid the greatest part in r●bbish Some of the Bombs fell into the Enemies Stores burnt two of their Magazines of Bisket one of Brandy and one of Powder so that they were fore't to remove the remainder into the Irish Town Sept. 15. The Lord Lisburn was killed by a Cannon-Ball and two days after S●ego was taken by the Earl of Granard the Garrison consisting of five or fix hundred Men who left in the place sixteen Pieces of Cannon thirty Barrels of Powder with Shot and Provisions proportionable One Captain Taaffe came out of Lymerick to the English and informed the General that the English Town was utterly ruined that the Cannon and Bombs had killed a great number of the Garrison who were reduced to Six thousand Foot and very ill clad General Ginkle having resolved that part of the Army should pass the Shannon and remove the Irish Horse which lay in the County of Clare and so shut up the Town on that side to conceal his design he ordered the heavy Cannon to be drawn off and shipt and quitted several Castles as if he intended to raise the Siege which the Enemy observing expressed tehir Joy by loud and repeated Shouts But the same night the Pontins were secretly laid over the Shannon and by break of day the Royal Regiment of Dragoons and a Detatchment of Horse passed the River undiscovered Brigadier Clifford lay with four Regiments of Dragoons to have prevented their Landing but when he perceived they were got over he brought down all his Men on foot their Horses being at Grass to make what opposition they could but were presently routed and for hast threw away their Arms leaving behind them all their Tents Baggage Saddles and other Accoutrements with two Pieces of Cannon and a Standard These frequent Successes much intimidated the Enemy and the French that were in Lymerick had some time before endeavoured to get away but a Squadron of English and Dutch men of War and the Provision and Ammunition Ships from Kingsale being by the Generals Orders come into the Shan on they returned back again but a Vessel on Board which were St. Ruths goods and plunder attempting to get out of the Shannon was taken by one of their Majesties Frigates Septem 22. The General passed the Shannon with a strong Party of Horse Dragoons and Foot and 14 pieces of Cannon who were drawn up before the Irish Town notwithstanding the continual fire of the Enemy and then Ordered them to attack the Fort that secured Thomond Bridge The Beseiged at the same time sending 2 great Detachments to inforce and second the Irish that defended it However the English went on with such courage and bravery that they beat them from theirworks and forc't them to fly toward the Town but the Governour fearing the Victorious English would enter with them durst not let down the Draw-bridge to receive them which occasioned a great slaughter of the vanquisht Irish so that nothing was to be seen from the foot of Thomond Bridge to the Draw-bridge but heaps of dead bodies 600 of the Enemy were slain and 130 taken Prisoners and among them many several great Officers Whilst the conflict endured the Irish played very furiously with their great and small shot and the mettal of the English precipitating them too far exposed them to the Enemies fire whereby many more were killed than would have been otherwise so that near 300 were slain and wounded though not any one of remark The next day afternoon the Enemy beat a Parley on both sides the River and desired a truce to be continued for three days that they might send to their Horse which lay about Clare to know upon what conditions they desired to be comprehended in the Capitulation Sept. 25. Collonel Sheldon and other Irish Officers came into the English Camp and from thence to Lymerick The next day Sarsfeild and Nohop dined with the General and the Ld Cutts and Sir David Collier Coll. Tiffany and Coll. Piper were sent as Hostages into the Town and four Irish Lords remained in the Camp as Hostages for the Garrison Sept. 27 The Irish sent them out their Proposals which the General not approving instead of an Answer sent back 12 other Articles which was all

cannot be far from 〈◊〉 where Vice is Patroniz'd and Antrim a Rebel upon Record and so lately and clearly proved one should have no other Colour for his Actions but the King 's own Letter which takes off all Imputations from Antrim and lays them totally upon his own Father Sir I shall by the next if possible send you over one of our Briefs against my Lord by some Friend It 's too large for a Pacquet it being no less in Bulk than a Book of Martyrs Well might the Irish decline their Tryals by indifferent Juries and Appeal to this Court of Claims which the Lord Chief Justice Santry declared was like the Usurpers High Court of Justice Arbitrary and Unlimited and the English complained that the Natives by this Illegal Court were made Innocent though they were known to be deeply concerned in the Rebellion for that it was beyond all peradventure that not 10 of the Irish Papists were free from Rebellion and Murther and most of them stood Indicted and Outlawed for Treason and therefore dispaired upon their Tryal at the Bar to make any considerable defence Upon this a New Act was prepared to explain the former But Talbot after Tyrconnel being made a Principal Agent for the Irish and they insinuating themselves into the favour of Rainsford afterward made a Judge in England for his good Services in Ireland and the Commissioners of the Court of Claims it so fell out that though it was believed upon the Kings Restoration there could not have been the twentieth part of Ireland gained from the English Yet by Recommendatory Letters and other Stratagems of the Court in England there was almost an half of the Kingdom in value lost and at the same time the most Innocent Irish lost their Estates and the greatest Rebels got twice more than they had before the Rebellion began to such a height was Popery already grown which so far incouraged the Irish that they often told the English that in a short time the Protestants must be all of their Religion In 1669. The Lord Roberts was made Lord Lieutenant of Ireland but soon recalled and John Lord Berkley was sent in his Room In 1670. The Papists set up a pretence that the King when in Exile had ingaged to the French King to restore the Irish to their Religion and Estates which not being done might occasion a Breach with that Crown Whereupon Commissions were sent to Irish Papists to make them Justices of Peace in which Office they soon discovered themselves to be so partial and insolent that their proceedings were abhor'd not only by the Protestants but the most thinking Irish After this there was a design for Regulating the Corporations of Ireland and the Popish Party began with Dublin where without any Legal proceeding or pretence 7 of the Aldermen and Sir William Davis the Recorder who were opposite to the Romish Party were turned out in a Tumultuous Irregular manner and 7 of the Rabble put in their places and Sir Ellis Leaton the Lord Lieutenants Secretary was made Recorder and Papists were daily brought into the Common Council to the great Terror of the Citizens who plainly perceived that the design was apparently level'd at the Foundation of the Protestant Interest and Religion and for introducing Popery and Arbitrary Power In which Opinion they were confirmed by some Passages that happened about the same time Particularly that Talbot the Popish Archbishop of Dublin in 1672. Desiring of the Lord Lieutenant to borrow the Hangings of the Castle Silver Candlesticks and other Plate to the use at High-●●●ss they were sent by Sir Ellis Leaton with this Complement that he hoped to have High Mass by Christmas at Christ-Church To effect which soon after an horrid Plot was discovered whereby all the Protestants were to have been barbarously Murthered and the Signal appointed to Distinguish the Irish from the Hereticks was a Cross of Straw which the Priests earnestly enjoyned every one to fix over their Doors telling them the omission thereof might be their Ruine for where the Cross were not found they would be destroyed as Hereticks But this Horrid Conspiracy being happily Discovered upon Search small Crosses of Straw not easily perceived were found on the Houses of most of the Irish in the Province of Munster But the Government of Ireland was at that time so Popishly inclined that they would not incourage the further Discovery thereof and those that appeared earnest in laying it open had their Cattel stole and were threatned to have their Houses burnt so that the whole Villainy was husht up in silence In 3673. The Earl of Essex was made Lord Lieutenant of Ireland the proceedings in the former year being thought by Courts of England too bare-faced This worthy and prudent Governor managed Affairs with so much skill and integrity that the Papists could hope for no Advantage whilst he held the Sword therefore one Sheredon and Edward Coleman were thought fit Instruments to imbarrass Affairs and manage the Catholick Interest but by the unparallel'd Conduct of this prudent Earl he so far outvy'd the Romish Politicks as to Cajole that Party into an approbation of those Proceedings which proved fatally Destructive to their designs of which at length the D. of York was so sensible that he became his inveterate enemy and set up private designs against him and at length prevailed to have him recalled and in 1677. the Duke of Ormond was again sent Lord Lieutenant thither This year the Papists set up another Project which was that the French should make some new Demands for the Irish upon pretence of the Articles made by King Charles 〈◊〉 in their favour and the King of England was to admit the French to Land Men The Earl of Tyrone the Lord Br●●as and others were also to raise Men in Ireland in order to make a diversion to the putting the Popish Plot in force in England and an Insurrection was designed at the same time in Ireland the King was unacquainted with the chief part of the contrivance the Duke of York having undertaken to qualifie him if he should hear of the Irish Intreague but this was divulged by some of the Irish and the King was hardly prevailed with not to believe it at length the King and Council fearing some danger from Ireland the Duke of Ormond was sent thither and the Duke of York did not think it seasonable to oppose it but yet prevailed so powerfully with the King that he sent Orders for raising Men in Ireland upon pretence of Forreign Service they were all Papists except some Officers who were ready to be so but the Lord Lieutenant would not deliver them Arms so they were exercised with Sticks The next year 1678 the Popish Plot was discovered in England and soon after that in Ireland which was detected by those of their own Party and Religion not one Protestant appearing as evidence against them Upon which Orders came from England for Disarming all Papists but their Friends at

Hedge and afterward quitted the Hedge which the rest that were posted thereabout seeing they likewise fled and were followed by a volley of shot from our Men When on a suddain a great many Battasions of the Enemy appeared from behind the little Hills we had two French Regiments and one English who passed the River at the same time about 200 yards below and routed those that opposed them The Dutch Advanced still and the Irish quitted the Hedges and Van stragling up and down the Field All our Horse went over to the Right and Left except one Squadron of Danes whom Lieut. Coll. Hamilton charged so home with 60 Horse that they came faster back than they went The want of Horse was so apparent here that the very Country People cryed out Horse Horse which word going to the Right Wing who thought it had been Halt stopt them nigh half an hours time which with about 40 Irish Horse breaking through the French Regiment at the same time was thought to be the occasion of D. Schombergs going over so unseasonably for in this Hurry he was killed near a little Village beyond the River The Irish Troopers as they rid through struck at him with their Swords and some believe that his own Men firing too hastily when the Duke was before them shot him themselves his Mortal Wound was through the Neck and he had one or two Cuts in the Head he fell down and did not speak a word Dr. Walker going as was said to look after the Duke was shot in the Belly The Action continued very hot for about an Hour but then the Irish Retreated to a rising ground drew up to Charge our Party again that had passed the River The Danish and Dutch Horse with Collonel Woolselys Horse and Dragoons and likewise the Danish Foot and Collonel Cuts Regiment now got over the River The King during these Transactions was almost every where riding between our Army and theirs and giving the necessary Orders attended only with one Dragoon and then passed the River with some difficulty for his Horse being Bog'd on the other side he was forc'd to alight till a Gentleman helpt him to get his Horse out when the Men were got on the other bank and put in order his Majesty drew his Sword but with some Trouble by reason of his wounded Arm and Marched before them toward the Enemy who were coming in good Order upon our Foot with double the number and charged several times at the Head of them Our Horse were forced to give ground though the King was with them His Majesty then went to the Inniskilliners and askt what they would do for him and advanced before them Their Officer told them who it was and at the Head of these Men the King received the Enemies fire The Danish Horse once gave way but the K. went himself and brought them up again o● the Irish K. James's Horse and Foot Guards principally maintained this Opposition and suffered much Lieutenant General Hamilton who had been imployed by K. William betrayed his Trust finding the Irish Food did not answer his Expectation he put himself at the Head of the Horse and when they were Defeated he was taken Prisoner having received a wound on the Head and brought to the K. who askt him whether the Irish would fight any more Yes said he and please your Majesty upon my Honour I believe they will for they have a good Body of Horse still The King lookt a little aside at him and repeated once or twice your Honour c. intimating that he had but little left who had forfeited it by joyning with Tyrconnel and this was all the Rebuke the K. gave him who always says much in few words for his unfaithfulness in the mean time the Irish being beaten from the Pass the English hastned towards the Body of the Enemy that were posted at Duleek and as they Advanced the Enemy drew off with such speed that they left a great many Arms and Ammunition behind in that Village and before our Horse could come up to Attack them they were gone at least a mile before their Horse and Ammunition in the Reer and their Foot Marching in great hast and Confusion we persued them 3 Miles but did not Attack them by reason of the Boggy Fields and Ditches Of the Irish were killed the Lords Dungan and Carlingford and many other Officers with about 1500 Men it was observed that most of the Horsemen who charged so desperately were drunk with Brandy of which each Man that Morning had half a pint for his own share Of the English were killed nigh 400 but the greatest loss was of D. Schomberg whom his very Enemies acknowledged a brave Man and a great General He was certainly a Man of excellent Education who was throughly acquainted with Men and things Courteous and Civil to all and yet had always something so great that commanded respect from all Persons A strong hearty Man though 82 years old and when unbowelled his Heart Entrails and Brain were as fresh and sound as a Man of 〈◊〉 and might have probably lived longer if providence had not ordered it otherwise K. James during part of the Action stood at a little Old Church upon an Hill but when he saw how matters went he Marcht to Duleek and from thence to Dublin The first News at that place was That K. James had got the Day Our General was killed and the P. of Orange as they called him taken Prisoner that the French Fleet was in the Bay of Dublin That a French Express was come from Waterford with the News of taking the Isle of Wight by the French and of their being gone to Dover This was very Afflicting to the poor Protestants who were all confined to their Houses but towards night some that had made their escape upon tyred Horses brought word That the Irish were much worsted and others That they were Totally routed near 10 a Clock that Night K. J. came in with about 200 Horse all in Disorder they concluded now that it was an absolute Defeat and that the English were just ready to come into the Town but were greatly Surprised when an hour or 2 after they heard the whole Body of the Irish Horse coming in in very good Order with kettle Drums Hautboys and Trumpets and early the next Morning the French and a great part of the Irish Foot who being a little rested Marched out again to meet the English that were supposed to draw nigh When K. James came to the Castle Gate the Lady Tyrconnel met him and after he was up stairs askt him what he would have for his Supper Who then gave her an account what a Breakfast he had got which made him have but little Stomach to his Supper Next Morning July 2d about 5 a Clock K. J. sent for the Irish Lord Mayor and some Principal Persons to the Castle and told them That in England he had an Army which durst have
