A JOURNAL OF THE King's March from Hilsburgh. TO His MAJESTY'S Happy Entering DUBLIN, On Saturday, July the 5th, 1690.  
Honoured SIR,  
MY former gave you an Account of what passed that was remarkable from the King's Landing to the 21th of June. The 22th being Sabbath-day, the King decampt from Hilsburgh, and made his Advance to Lough-Brick lane, where he continued his Camp that day, Monday, Tuesday, and Wednesday following, and on Thursday advanced to the Newry, where the Camp continued only one Night. At Two the next Morning made an advance towards D●ndalk, and encamped the Army on the same Ground where the Enemy Encamped when they made that great Appearance against us last Winter. The King on his Arrival here divided his Army, having one pa●● under the Command of Lieutenant General Douglass, to collect the Danish and Western Forces, with some Addition of the other English Forces, and to March by the way of ●●●mag●●, and on Friday they met his Majesty at the Camp of the 〈◊〉, and being joined, makes the greatest and most formidable Body of Horse, Foot, and train of Artillery that was ever seen in this Kingdom.  
His Majesty was pleased to order the Major General Kirk, with three Regiments of Foot, and a Regiment of Horse and Dragoons, to make their advance before the Army, on whose approach the Enemy not only quitted a very advantageous Pass, which they had fortified through the Mountains, in their passage betwixt Newry and Dundalk, though the Sabbath-day before they made some advantage of that very Pass; and on the Major-Generals further advance, they as tamely quitted the Town of Dundalk, after they had spent their whole Winter in making a strong and regular Circumvallation about that Town, and had made that destruction of the Buildings, that what was left, was indeed but a strong Citadel; yet this, as well as the aforesaid Pass, they left without the least opposition, and drew the whole body of their Army, consisting (as was reported) of 35000, to their Garrison of Atherdee. And finding his Majesty, and his Army Encamping in this place, within six Miles of their Army, and they hearing Lieutenant-General Dowglas to be 〈…〉 they new 〈◊〉 Army towards Drogbedah, and by two in the Afternoon left Atherdee, as they had before Dundalk, without ma●●ng any, or the least defence. Their ●●ng being, as is reported) told by one esteemed among them a Cunning-Woman, That if he stayed the next Morning, his Army would be heaten by King William's Army: And one of their Generals telling them, Their King's 〈…〉 ●er to strengthen himself, to secure the Boyne; a River that environs almost Forty Miles round.  
The 28th, an obscure Irish Man and Woman making Enquiry for the King's Quarters, were apprehended, and being searched by the private Soldiers, and finding both to have Poison about them, without further Enquiry, the Soldiers having half hanged the Woman, she confessed a French Captain gave them both the Poison, and advised them to poison the Springs near the King, or where those about him use to Drink: This Confession and the Poison found upon them, caused the Rabble, without further proof, to hang both outright.  
The same Morning the King went to view Atherdee, which as Dundalk, is left standing, but the Buildings all wasted, and left without an Inhabitant.  
The 29th of June, at Two in the Morning, the King decamped, and marched towards Drohedagh unto Atherdee.  
The 30th the King by break of day decampt, and encamped that day on the North-side of the Boyne, right against the Enemy, and within reach of their Cannon, which had like to have been of fatal Consequence, his Majesty being struck with one of the Balls upon his right Shoulder, which carried away Coat, Waistcoat, Shirt, and razed the Skin; notwithstanding which, the King continued on Horseback until Dinner, and after some Application made, mounted again until night.  
Tuesday, July the first, the Army being drawn up at their several Posts, Count 〈◊〉 Pass, when Eight Squardrons of Horse defended it, but he soon beat them off, passed the For●, and draw up his men on the other side.  
After which, with a little loss all the Passes were gained, and our Army got on the other side, engaged with the Enemy, whose Foot made no great Defence: the Horse did well, and made a good Retreat, being carried of by Count Ca●zun. In Conclusion, the King Routed them from Hill to Hill for seven Miles round, and having obtained an entire Victory, slept that night in the Princes Coach. I shall not trouble you with Particulars of this great Action, for that you have it by Express; only must tell you, we have lost the never to be forgotten General, his Grace the Duke of Schonbergh, and Mr. Walker late Governor of London-Derry, both shot in gaining a Pass by Noon.  
Wednesday July the 2d, the King and all the Army blessed God for their Victory; and his Majesty sent Summons 〈◊〉 Dr●●●edagh, which on Thursday the 3d. surrendered upon Discretion. In were two Regiments, and vast Stores.  
The same day the Duke of 〈◊〉 entered the City of Dublin with six hundred Horse, and a Body of Foot, where he was joyfully received, and is made Governor.  
On Friday the 4th the King marched for Dublin, and Encamped in the Park, two miles short thereof, where his Majesty's Tent is set up, etc.  
On Saturday his Majesty entered the City, and was received with all possible Demonstrations of Joy from a delivered People. His Majesty caused all Persons to be set at Liberty, and other Matters, and returned to the Camp that Night. And as a Person of Quality saith, who was in Dublin on Saturday at Three a Clock, the King did intent on Sunday to heat a Sermon preached in Dublin, and to Dine in the City, of which our next Letters will give a particular Account.
