An Exact Account of the Total Defeat of the Irish Army at ANGRIN in Connaught, by their Majesty's Forces, on Sunday the Twelfth of this instant July, 1691.  
24. July. 1691.  
THIS Morning arrived an Express from Ireland to Her Majesty, with the Good News of a Total Defeat of the Irish Army, by Their Majesty's Forces; the substance whereof is as followeth:  
That on Sunday last in the Afternoon, about five a Clock, our Army consisting of about 23000 Horse and Foot, fell upon the Irish at Angrin, notwithstanding they found them drawn out in very good Order: the Enemy consisted of about 8000 Horse, and 19000 Foot. The Dispute was very sharp, the French and Irish maintaining their ground for above 4 Hours; in which time there was scarce one Batallion on either side, but were more or less engaged. The Irish Army in this their last Effort, behaved themselves with great and unexpected Bravery. But at length by the Conduct of our General, the Diligence of our Officers, and undaunted Resolution of all our Men, the Enemy were forced to give way, and fled in all the Confusion imaginable. Our Army by this Victory became entire Masters of their Camp, the Irish leaving behind them all their Baggage and Provision, with nine or ten Pieces of Canon.  
As this was the first time that the Irish have shown any considerable Gallantry, so by the Blessing of Providence upon our Arms, it served only to render the Conquest more Complete. Of the Loss which they sustained, we have in general this Account: That Mon. St. Ruth, that Monster of Cruelty, is killed in this Action; most of their General Officers are killed or taken. Sarcefield is said to have made his Escape by Flight. The Number of the Irish Soldiers slain, are computed to be about 5000. Neither was this important Victory obtained without some considerable Loss on our side: Those of any Note, whereof we are as yet informed, were Major-General Holstein killed, Prince De Hermanstadt supposed mortally wounded, Col. Herbert killed; the Lord Cutts, who had signalised his Courage before Limerick the last Summer, has received a Wound in this Action, but it is hoped not mortal. The forementioned Express being sent away immediately upon the Action, the particulars of the Pursuit are not yet arrived: However, the Consequence of this great Affair, can (under Providence) be no less than a Total and Speedy Reduction of that Kingdom to their Majesty's Obedience.  
I shall trouble you only with one Remark more, which as it is amazing in its Circumstances, so it ought not to be passed over by any true Englishman, without particular Thanks to Almighty God; and that is this present Week of Wonders, which by God's Blessing, has brought us more particular Intelligences of Extraordinary and Great Successes both at Home and Abroad, than perhaps can be met withal in the whole Annals of Time, viz. The D. of Saxony's Passing of the Rhine, in sight of the French Army; The Confirmation of the Relief of Coni, The Raising of the Blockade of Monmelian; The safe Arrival of our English-Smyrna Fleet, Our Success at Athlone; and to crown all, the Account we have here given you of the entire Defeat of the Irish Forces.
