A particular ACCOUNT OF Major General Kirk's Beating the Irish out of their Bull works and Fort, AND OF Bombing the lower Town In order to The taking of Limericke.  
Printed according to Order, September 1st. 1690.  
BY a Letter from the Camp before Limericke, we have advice, that Major General Kirk and Sir John Hanmore had attacked the Enemy in their Posts, and beaten them out of two Lines, two Bulworks and a Fort, and that upon our Mens entering the same, the Irish cried out Quarter, Quarter, and accordingly the Soldiers, not forgetting Colonel Sarsfield's kindness to Men, Women and Children, gave them Waggoners Quarter with the But end of their Muskets, killing about Sixty, those being all they found in the Fort, and after our Forces had taken the outworks before Limericke by Storm, they played their Bombs into the lower Town very smartly, which took effect accordingly, and set some of the Houses on Fire, see that we hope it cannot be long before they must of necessity be forced to surrender the same.  
Three Trumpeters have deserted the Enemy and are come to us, who report, that Colonel Sarsfield is in the County of Clare at the head of about Seven Thousand Men.  
We have an Account that the City of Galloway for some time refusing the French Entrance, were at last trappaned by a confident French Lie, viz. That the People of England were in a Civil Broil, and that the greatest Party were for King James, and that King William had very few Friends, and that the French Fle●t had wholly destroyed the English Navy, etc. Upon which, these poor deceived People, opened the Gates and let in the French, who presently enquiring after the principal Persons that opposed their Entrance, were informed that it was one Justice Dawley, and Mr. Brown a Lawyer, whom they sent for, and Hanged up immediately.  
The Irish do much Mischief in the Country, by Robing and Burning what they cannot carry off: But Lieutenant General Ginkle with 18●0 Horse, and 600 Dragoons, is in Pursuit of a great Body of them.  
A Passenger lately arrived from Ireland, assures us that King William, since his Cannon are planted on Three several Batteries, has sent a Second Summons into Limmerick, to let them know he would give them till the Twenty sixth to surrender, and that he plied them in the mean time to make a Breach; and in case they refused he would storm it on the Twenty seventh and put all to the Sword.  
Our Army in general are most desperately enraged against the Irish, for their inhuman and barbarous Murdering our Waggoners, their Wives and Children, (a Cruelty never known to be acted by the Turks in War) and 'tis thought nothing will be able, without the inexhaustible Mercy of the King, to stop the fury of our Soldiers at the taking of Limmerick, which I hope in my next you will hav●●e full Account of its being in the possession of King William, whom God preserve.  
Yours R. W.
