Being the substance of the last Intilligence, Printed at Dublin, the 13th. Instant,  
With Allowance.  
WE have Advice from Cork, That the Forces under the Command of Major General Tettan, that lately made a Descent into Kerry, are most of them come back into their Winter Quarters. They Marched from Cork on the 28th. of the last, and on the 29th. at Macromoo were joined by Brigadier Churchil, Sir David Collier, Colonel Coy, and Coll. Matthows, and the next day marched forwards through the Country, which they found all burnt. On New-Years-Day they attacked a Fortification of the Enemies, at a place called Scronolard, which was intended to hinder their passage that way; they took it with great ease in two hours, though the Enemy were two months in raising it, with the labour of five hundred Men constantly employed: Marching thence towards Brewsterfield, they discovered some of the Enemy's Scouts, whereupon seventy of Colonel Eppinger's Dragoons, and Coll. Coy's Horse, having the Advance-Guard, came near a party of the Enemy of a 160 Horse, who (notwithstanding they were twice the number) would not endure a Charge, but run away with all in imaginable speed, upon small light Horses, most of them without Shoes. Amongst these that made this haste, we hear was the Lord Curtsy and Slain, and Colonel Nicholas Brown, whom they call Lord Kinmare: By this time all the Country round was in flame, and being at some distance from Killarny, our Forces made all the haste thither they could, to save it, but yet there were about twenty Cabins before we could get thither burnt by two Troopers that stayed behind the rest, which we killed, and so saved the rest of the Town, and Brewster's Forge also. Our Forces then moved towards Ross, the situation whereof we found very strong, and tolerably well fortified, having a Garrison of about six hundred men in it, Commanded by Colonel Mac. Carty that wants a Thumb; in it were the Lords Curtsy, and Slain, and Colonel Brown, who not willing to venture themselves there, got fresh Horses, and scoured towards Lymerick as fast as they could. This place not being to be forced at present, we attacked a Rock near it, which the Enemy had fortified, with fisty Danes, Commanded by Cap. Buenbury, and fisty Kinsailers, Commanded by Cap. Corroll. The Service was very smart, both our Leading Officers being hurt, Captain Buenburg with a Granade, and Captain Carol shot through the Leg: We lost 6 private Men, and had fifteen wounded. There were in this fortification of the Enemy seventy seven, of which fourteen swimmed to another Rock, five were taken Prisoners, and the rest killed; of those fourteen that swimmed, most of them died before Morning, and the rest were killed by our Musqueteers. From thence our Horse Marched towards Tralee, which the Enemy (being twenty one Troops of Dragoons, and seven Troops of Horse, Commanded by Colonel Sheldon) deserted, not having time to Burn it, and made all the haste they could to get to Limerick, if possible, with design, as we are informed, if they could not force their way through. Lieutenant-General Ginkell's Troops, to kill-all their Horses, and Transport themselves by Boats over the Shannon. Some Deserters from Tyconnel's Regiment inform us of the General Consternation the Enemy were in on this occasion.  
Of late, we were very much Alarmed by a number of the Rapparees, and some of the Enemy's Forces gathered together in the Island of Allen in the Coun-of Kildere; But Colonel Foulks, and Colonel Piper, who were commanded thither with a Party of the Army, joined some of the Militia of the City of Dublin, and the Militia of the County of Kildare, whereof Contain Fitz-Gerald is Governor, and was in the Action soon dispersed them, having hunted them from Bogs to Woods, like Wolves & Foxes, but could seldom overtake any of them; those they met with, viz. One Captain Gibny, a Captain amongst the Rapparees, and some others, the Killed, and forced the rest out of those Fastnesses: The long and dark Nights at this time, gave them an opportunity of running away; but such effectual care is taken, by Destroying the seattering Cabins were they were Sheltered, and Garrisoning other places in the Bogs, that it will now be possessed by a better sort of Inhabitants: Both the Soldiers of the Army, and the Militia that we Detacht for this Service, behaved themselves with great Zeal and forwardness, to the general satisfaction of the Officers. Besides those killed, there were about Fisteen taken Prisoners; some were used in this Service for Guides, and the rest will soon be disposed of.  
Our Forces being Posted at Lanesborough (as you had an Accôunt in the haft Intelligence) continued at the Foot of the Bridge without any Action, within half Pistol Shot of the Enemy. But on Monday the Fifth Instant, Early in the Morning they were Alarumed on this Occasion. Captain Edgeworth, being Posted with one Hundred Men at the Entrance of the Pass, was Attaqu't by a Party of the Enemy, to the Number of near a Thousand. The Lord Viscount Lisburn, who Commanded in Chief at Lisborough, being sent to in Order to a Reinforcement, drew out a small party of this Garrison, and Marched them about two Miles towards the Captain's Relief, where they met an Express which gave an Account, that the Enemy were beaten back, the Officer that led them with several of the Soldiers being Killed, without the loss of one Man of ours, and three only wounded.
