 SIR,  
THis morning arrived here the Thomas of Leverpool, Ralph Holt, Master, and the Preston Merchant of this Place, William Leaths Mas●er, both from Dublin, which place they left on Friday last, the 21st. instant. I spoke with Mr. Holt, the Master of one of the Vessels, who, upon enquiring of him what News, gave me an Account, that a little before he came away, Advice came to the Lord Justice Porter, that our Army had begirt Limerick on both sides the River Shann●n; that Captain Coal, with his Squadron of Men of War, was Sailed down the River Shannon, within six miles of the Town of Limerick, so that the place is entirely blocked up on all hands: That by some considerable Deserters, which came lately out of the City into our Camp, the General had an Account, that Tyrconnel died in Limerick, the day before they came away; his Distemper was partly a Fever, but chiefly Dispair and Trouble of mind occasioned, according to the Relation the Deserters give of it, as followeth: A strong Party being form in the Irish Army, against the Earl of Tyrconnel, immediately after our Armies passing the Shannon, the Chief Officers combined together, and entered into an Association against him, which Tyrconnel having a full account of, at the same time that the Irish Army Encamped themselves at the little Town of Aghrim, he endeavoured by all the ways and means that possible he could to hinder the same, but all that he could do signified nothing; then they joined in an Address, desiring him, or more rather in a Style, requiring him to begun out of the Army, and not to be amongst them at the Battle; whereupon, seeing by all the endeavours he had used, he could not prevail upon them, he went away in great Discontent to Limer●ck, when the F●ct●●n g●ew strong against him there also, which was much encouraged by Mo●nsi●●r d'USSONE, and all the French Officers up●n their return from Gall way, so th●t it was generally believed b● his Friends, that the trouble and grief that he conceived thereupon, might have occasioned the Sickness that brought on his Death. The Deserters further declared▪ That notwithstanding all endeavours had been used to keep his Death secret, yet it was so general●y known, that before they c●me a●ay, it had great Disturbances and Confusions among the Enemy's Forces, both Officers and Soldiers, some being for Surrendering the Place upon the Condition's offered by the General, others for holding out; but which means their Councils were strangely divided, that they had for sometime detained the Trumpet sent by the General, not being resolved among themselves what Answer to send, that all the Foot the Irish had, that could get Arms, were gone into Limerick, with some Regiments of Horse and Dragoons, which consisted in the whole of about 15000 Men; That their Body of Horse which is Commanded by S●●…field, for the present, lay Foraging round the Wal●s, under the protection of their Cannon; I ha●●… Tyrconnel while he lived, was a bitter Enemy against the Irish Submitting.  
This Morning cleared here the Mary Ros● Merchant of Wexford, bound for Wexford, John Collet Master; the William and Thoma● of Wickloe, bound for Wickloe; the John of Dublin, bound for Dublin, they will Sail with the first fair Wind.  
On Friday last in the Evening, came in here the William and Henry, the Elizabeth, the Richmond, and the Orange-Tree, all Ships belonging to this Place, and bound from Dublin, but they having had a long Passage brought no News.  
FINIS.
