A Full and True ACCOUNT Of all the Proceed in IRELAND, Since His Majesty's first Embarking for that Kingdom, to His present March to Besiege Limerick. Being a particular Relation of all the Sieges, Battles, Skirmishes, and Towns Surrendered; likewise the Number of Men Killed and Wounded on both sides; and also King James' last Speech to the Lord Mayor of Dublin when he departed thence.  
JUly 17. 1690. News was brought to Dublin of King William's Landing about Friday the 13th. of June. Before this King James had ordered his Army to rendezvo●z near Atherdee, from several parts of the Kingdom. On Monday the 16th. King James marched out of Dublin to join them with about 6000 French Foot, most old Soldiers, excellently well Armed and Clad; one Regiment of these being  Protestants, and were observed carefully for fear of Deserting. The whole Irish Army encamped, made about 36000, besides 15000 more which remained in Garrisons. The same day King James left this Town, there marched in 6000 of the Country Militia, and Colonels Luttrel and Mac Gillicuddy were left Governors  
The Irish were assured either that the French Fleet would cut off King William from England, or that an Insurrection would be made there; for we were told that 100000 Men were ready to rise, under the notion of Declaring for a Commonwealth: The Protestants hear being in great Consternation, and knew not what to think of these things; for they were kept as Prisoners of War, and suffered to know no more, nor enjoy any more than what the other pleased.  
On Thursday the 19th. after King James was gone to encamp, the Governor ordered all Persons walking the Streets without Swords or Bayonets, which was the Badge of Protestants, to be taken up and secured in several Parades. He picked out whom he thought fit, and sent them to several Prisons.  
After this followed a Proclamation, That not above Five Protestants should meet in any place above the Family, on pain of Death. The Church Men, who remained with us, though they had lost all their Subsistance by the Irish Parliament, except what People voluntarily contributed, acquitted themselves with a great deal of Zeal and Diligence, being particularly influenced by the Bishop of Meath and Dr. King, Dean of St. Patrick's, who have been the Bulwark of the Protestants in these sad times.  
Dr. King was clapped up in the Castle, and many other of the principal Protestants in the College (which was now a Garrison) and other public Places.  
On Saturday the 21st. We heard the Irish Army retreated, and the English were come towards Droghedah; we knew King James' design was to avoid a Battle as much as he could, and to have walked the English Army along the Boine River, and so cross the Country to Limrick; but this day we were told from the Camp, That the Enemy seemed to press towards Dublin, and King James was resolved to defend it, and that therefore they thought he could not be able to keep off a Battle above Ten days.  
On Sunday the Irish came on this side the Boine; and King James, as it should seem, distrusting the issue, Sir Pat. Trant, First Commissioner of the Revenue, and another Gentleman, were ordered to go from hence on Monday Morning to Waterford to prepare Ships.  
On Monday the last of June, The English Army having had very little Rest or Victuals, drew to the Boine; Lieutenant General Dowglas' Horse were ordered to post themselves at a Ford near Droghedah, upon a rising Ground, over against a Battery of the Irish of 6 Guns, guarded by a Party of their Horse. Here the English stood the shot of the Enemy, every Man on foot by his Horse several Hours, while there passed 200 Shot, the King in the mean time having rid between them and the Ford, where he received his Hurt on his Shoulder by a Canon Shot, which disabled him the next day from holding his Sword. At last, when the King had said, Now I see my Men will stand, some Guns were sent to them, upon the first Discharge of which among the Irish Horse, they retarded from their Battery, and stood farther off. The next day General Dowglas was sent with 12000 Foot 5000 Horse to a Ford further up the River by slain, where had been a Battery of the Irish, but that they were drawn off, and only 800 Dragoons guarded the Ford. The English were to go down a steep Hill to the Ford, and uneven way, yet the Irish Dragoons o●●● once fired and retreated to the Body of their Army, which lay towards Duleek; mean time the King, with the rest of the English Army came to the Ford where D●wglas was posted the day before, near Dr●ghedah (which at this time had a Garrison of 800 Irish.) Duke Schomberg h●●ded the Dutch Foot Guards, and the Eniskillen Horse, the KING said, should be his Guards that day. Some of the Irish Horse opposed the Dutch Foot, who sought up to the middle in Water, and were almost born down, before some Horse (which they long called for) could come up to their relief: In passing this Ford Mr. Walker of Derry was killed. Being past this Ford, t●●y m●● still a vigorous Opposition; and and here Duke Schomberg advancing too far among the thickest of the Enemy was killed, and now lies in St. Patrick's Church, in order to be carried to Westminster. The King with the Horse (himself engaging in the thickest) met the like Opposition. The Danish Horse once gave way, but the King went himself, and brought them up again. Of the Irish, King James' Horse and Foot Guards principally maintained the Opposition, and suffered much; King James himself not engaging, but standing on a rising Ground. At last Dowglas received Orders to engage them at a place where he could come in only with his Horse, which alone put the whole Irish Army to flight, so that before the King's Line could get up to 'em, they had little to do but pursue.  
At 10 at Night K. James came to Dublin with about 200 Horse all in Disorder, an Hour or two after the whole Body of the Irish came in in very good Order.  
At 5 this Morning, being Wednesday the 2d. of July, King James having sent for the Irish Lord Mayor, and some Principal persons to the Castle; told them, That he found all things against him; that in England he had an Army which would have Fought, but they proved false and deserted him; that here he had an Army which was Loyal enough, but would not stand by him: He was now necessitated to provide for his safety, and that they should make the best terms for themselves that they could. He told his menial Servants, that he should have now no further occasion to keep such a Court as he had done, and that therefore they were at liberty to dispose of themselves, and so with 2 or 3 in Company, he went to Bray, and along to the Sea to Waterford; having appointed his Carriages to meet him another way. We hear he did not sleep till he got on Ship board; and having been once driven in again, is since clear gone off.  
About 4 in the Afternoon, we perceived the Irish Horse, which were drawn out in the Morning, and which we hoped had been quite gone, entering into Town, followed by the French and Irish Foot in a full Body; and marched through the Town, without doing any injury, and were drawn up by Lord Tyrconnel on the other side of it, in order to March further; the Militia followed them; only the Governor remained: At last he resolved to March also, and to drive 2 or 300 of the Principal Prisoners before him; but while they were preparing for this, a false Alarm was spread, that a party of English being Landed at the Harbour, & were just at the Towns end; it was too dusky to disprove this by view, and they had not leisure to send a Messenger, but in haste shifted for themselves.  
By 6 in the Morning the Bishop of Meath, Dr. King, and other Principal Protestants formed a Committee, in the Castle, and sent away an Express to the King, of this Towns being at Liberty. This Express found him Marching up to Dublin in two Lines, expecting to meet the Irish; and at the same time the News came of the Surrender of Drogheda, which he had left a Party to Besiege, and in which they had pinioned all the Protestants and Prisoners, and placed them under that part of the Wall which was to be battered; but this was not known till after the Surrender.  
At 8 at Night one Troop of Dragoons came as a Guard to an Officer, that came to take charge of the Stores. It was impossible, the King himself coming after this, could be welcomed with equal joy as this one Troop; the Protestants hung about the Horses, and were ready to pull the Men off them, as they marched up to the Castle.  
I am told by one that viewed the Dead, that there was not above 1000 killed on both Sides, tho' perhaps you may hear of greater Numbers.  
Upon the Approach of General Douglas to Athlone, the Irish burned the Town, broke down the Bridge, and retired into the Castle, and 'tis thought 'twill not be long before he is Master of it.  
The Enemy are got together about Limerick, but Count de Lausun will not suffer the Irish Troops to come into the Town.   

Licenced according to Order.
