A Full and True ACCOUNT OF THE Two great Victories, Lately Obtained before Lymerick, BY K. William's Forces, Over the French and Irish Rebels. Which were commanded by D. Tyrconnel, and General Lauson. WITH A Particular Relation of the Killing Seven Hundred of the Enemy, and the Number of the Prisoners taken: The Flight of the Rebels into the County of Clare. Their Horrid Burn, and other Cruelties. And the Number of the Rebels Hanged for the same, by the command of Lieutenant General Douglas. In a Letter from a Gentleman, who was particularly concerned in the aforesaid Action. DUBLIN, SIR, THE Fatigue of my Voyage, and the great hurry occasioned hereby; the daily returns of our Countrymen, in these parts, might very well Apologise for any neglect of Writing, at this present Juncture; but that your many Obligations to me, and my Family, and the Personal Knowledge I have of the longing Desires of every one in England, to hear an Account of the Daily Progress of our Heroical Prince's Arms here, makes me with Willingness forget my own Troubles, to give you what Joy I can; and our Affairs here do administer for the daily Success in his Glorious Undertake: You have at least two Posts ago the certain News of those places that have Surrendered, and are actually in our Possession; the King having now little more than the Reduction of Lymerick; the Consequence of which, is the entire Conquest of the Country; I shall confine myself to a true Relation of what has happened (near that place) since the joining of Douglas to the Royal Army. The Irish that lay encamped about that place, and as it were under the Walls, were for Number between Twenty and Thirty Thousand, and by their many Barbarous Cruelties to all the Protestants they could lay hands on, seemed to defy the Resolution and power of so formidable, and wear approaching Army, as ours are, but like true Cowards, when they were throughly convinced of our Strength, by the Courage of a detached party of five Hundred of our Troops, who advanced so resolutely, as to attack their Van Guard, consisting of near Two Thousand Five Hundred, and killed near Six Hundred of them upon the Spot, and taking near Two Hundred prisoners, by which we may give a shrewd Guests, that they are not in any Measure improved, except in the Art of Running, since their Signal defeat at the Boyne, for upon the retiring of their broken Troops to their main Body, the whole Army was in such Consternation, that if our Army had been a little nearer Advanced, we had put them out of condition of ever appearing together again; 'twas a pleasant Sight to see the way scattered with Cloaks, Pistols, Swords, Bagonets and Skeens, for some of them have no other Arms; and their Tents, such as they had, and Baggage left behind, they getting into the County of Clare, on the other side of Limerick; so that we have nothing more now to do, than to lay a close Siege, or to Bomb and Storm that place; which 'tis reasonably thought, will not hold out long; for the Lord Tyrcetinel they say here, has sent Proposals of Submission, but being very high, the King sent him Word plainly to deliver up the Place, telling him he would give him a Pension, and use him like a Gentleman, which he is to consider off: The Rebels that were upon their Departure of Lieut. General Douglass from Athrone, very Insolent and Cruel to the Protestants of that Country are pretty well quashed by Colonel Wosely, and Lieut. Colonel Purefoy of the King's Councils, Four of which were hanged up without further Trial, having lately received the King's Protection: The Army in general, but some Persons of Quality more particularly are desperately engaged against the Irish for their inhuman and Barbarous French way of Burning, War●ing, Pulling-down, and Destroying several sine Seats in the County of Limmerick, viz. Kilpecken, Bruffe, Ballyvorneene, and the Castle of Cappyneene, in the County of Waterford, in which Place they Burnt all the Goods, not suffering the Lady of, the place, to save so much as her wearing Apparel; for which Barbarities our Army threatens very severe punishments, and nothing but the exhaustible M●rcy of the King will be able to protect them from their just Fury: I hope by the next to give you a comfortable Account of Limmerick; till then, I Subscribe myself.
