A Full and True Account of a Bloody and Dismal Fight Betwixt the English Protestants, AND THE French and Irish Papists: BEING AN Impartial Relation, OF A Great VICTORY Obtained By Duke Scomberg's Forces, Over a Party of King James' Army IN IRELAND, Since the Joyful News of the Kings coming into this Nation.  Licenced and Entered according to Order. 
Partly of our Forces lying near to Charlemont, under the Command of Lieutenant Colonel Frogmorton receiving Information of a Considerable Number of Cattle, amounting to about Two Thousand Cows, and about double the Numbered of Sheep and Garoons, we resolved to send out a Party of six Hundred Horse, and eight Hundred Foot, which on the Second of this Instant, we accordingly did, amongst which Party I had the Honour to Command; but the Enemy by some means having discovered our designse, nt out a Party (as nigh as we can guests) of Eighr Hundred Horse, and seven Hundred Foot, under the Command of Colonel Macharty, to prevent us Executing of our Design. We Marched on till we came within three Miles of the Pastures where the Cattle lay, not knowing that the Enemy was sensible of our Intention, we now being so nigh, thought it convenient to reduce our Men into as good Order as possible, to receive any accidential opposition that might happen. We had not Marched in this careful posture above a Mile further, but by our Scouts, discovered that the Enemy was Ambuscaded in a Wood opposite to a Bogg, through which Pass we were Obliged to March: But having a pre-knowledg of it, we began to consult which was the most proper and secure way to Accost them; at last by the Resolution of Lieutenant Colonel Frogmorton, 'twas eonluded, we should draw up our Forces to the Wood-side, which was of a considerable large Entrance, and after one Volley break in upon them: To proceed to which, Orders was given through all our Party. The Irish all this while lay very silent, till at last we proceeded and gave them a very warm Salutation: In Answer to which, they at first made a very vigorous Repulse, which was hotly disputed on both sides for about an hour; till at last some part of the Irish began to fly, which gave fresh Courage to our English Party, who maintained their Onset with such Vigour, that the Cowardly Natures of the Irish could but for a short time endure it; that at last they betook themselves to a Bogg which lay behind the Wood; where we could not with any safety Pursue them, so that a considerable part made their Escape that way, that in an hour and an halfs time they were throughly Defeated, with the loss on their Side of about Three Hundred Slain, besides a Hundred and Sixty Four taken Prisoners. The loss on our side was notabove Twenty Five Killed, and Fourteen Wounded; which did not so Disable us, but we resolved to Execnte our Design, and if possible secure the Cattle: In order to which, we made a Detachment of Horse out of our Party, consisting of Two Hundred, and sent them with our Prisoners and Wounded Men back to Clomish, whilst we Marched forward to seize the Cattle which lay about a Mile further, which we did, and brought back about Fifteen Hundred Cows, with an Answerable Number of Sheep and Garoons. With this Success we ended that present Action, the Account of which I knew you would Embrace with great satisfaction.  
The thoughts of his Majesty's coming over amongst us, greatly Disheartens the Irish Army, insomuch, that since the News is spread amongst them, they Desert King James daily in great numbers, to his great Disincouragement.
