A Relation of what passed in Connaught between His Majesty's Forces under the Command of Brigadier Sarsfield, and the Rebels Led by the Lord Weyer, the Colonels Floyd, Russel, etc. upon the Army Decamping from Allardstown.  
Ogaras' Regiment of Foot, Colonel Luttrell's of Horse, Sir N. o Neils of Dragoons were ordered to march under the Command of Brigadier Sarsfield, upon intelligence brought to His Majesty that Schomberg had sent a Party to strengthen the Rebels in the Province of Connaught, which they by that time had almost overrun. The Brigadier had likewise Commission to join to His Body such of the King's Troops as lay most convenient in his March. With this Strength he ventured to make several Detachments, one of two hundred Foot to aid the Gentlemen of the Country, who with the new raised Mobile had Blocked up James-town then in the enemy's hands. Upon his Arrival at Athlone, the Key of that Province, he sent another Party to take possession of another Pass betwixt Boil and Sligoe, upon the Curlew Mountain, to cut of all communication from the Garrisons of James-Town and Boil, with that of Sligoe, he then advanced into the Country, and from Roscommon sent another Party of 90 Horse, and 80 Dragoons, under the Command of Colonel Henry L●●trell, to prevent the Enemies burning or destroying all places they should think fit to abandon upon his approach. In their March they overtook, and put to flight a party of two hundred Horse of the ●●●●y, with a prey they had taken of a thousand head of . Luttrell pursued them fourteen miles▪ obliging them to quit their Prey, and run back in full speed to the Boil, and endeavoured yet further th●● night towards Slygo, but were prevented by Major ●●●●k Bourke, who Commanded the Detachment sent by Sarsfield to secure that Pass. The Lord Weyer who commanded that party of the Enemy, and above fifteen of his men were killed, and several wounded 〈◊〉 ●ndeavouring to force it. The day before Colonel ●loyd from Sligo, with a party of Rebels attempted to come up to Boil, but was two several times beaten back with loss. The party commanded by Weyer, prevented in their design of going to Sligo, retired straight to Ja●●●-town, and joined the Enemy's Garrison. The next morning they all abandoned that place, and marched towards the County of Cavan, either to join S●homberg's at Dundalk, or make their way through to enniskillen. But those of ours that blocked up Jamestown having timely notice pursued them so close that they were Forced like Hard Hunted deer to take soil and swim three Rivers in which there were 80 drowned and several killed, nor do we find of 400 Horse and Dragoones of which number that party consisted, ten got Home together, Sarsfield still continued his March to Boil, and thence to Sligoe, when he had reached Collooney six miles short of the end of his March finding that the Enemy had broke the Bridge of Ballysedare a mile and a half on the other side of Coloony, and being well informed of the Country he sent a detachment of three hundred Foot, seventy Horse and one hundred Dragoones under the Command of Colonel Lutterell a private way about by the Mountain Foot in order to cut off those that sustained the Bridge, and at the same time advanced to it with his Party to amuse The Enemy, whilst Luttrell came round, at which time Mr. Talandier Lieutenant Coll. to Sir N: o N. was wounded in the Groin Luttrells guide carried him nearer Sligoe than Sarsfield designed, where he met with a Party coming from Sligoe under the command of Coll. Russel, and at the same time those at the Bridge finding that Lutrell was got round, Returned under the Command of Coll. Lloyd, so that they were both in the Rear and Front of Luttrell whose Dragoones and Foot were not yet got quite up to him by reason of a long Defile, upon which he divided what Horse he had, making half of them Face those in their Rear, and with the other half he himself charged those in his Front, and upon the first Onset broke both the Parties, killing Fifty upon the place the rest he pursued in sight of Sligoe, at the same time Sarsfield made up the Bridge the Enemy had abandoned with Ioyces and Planks he had provided for that purpose and Marched with all diligence to Relieve Luttrell who had before he could get up to him, beaten the Enemy again that had rallied at the Barriers of the Town, which were well maintained by some French Foot, By this time Sarsfield was come up and all the Horse and Foot that were in the Town Ran away with Lloyd and Russel, except some four or 500 that shut themselves up within a Fort in the further end of the Town which immediately was Blocked up and Trenches being opened in five days before it, on the 5th they Capitulated to march to Inniskillen, which was Granted by Sarsfield his men being spent by a long march, in bad way and ill weather, which continued while they lay in the Trenches. As soon as Sarsfield became Master of the Town, he Ordered it immediately to be Fortified and the Fortifications are already so far advanced and the place ●o capable of being made strong, that the whole Province is hereby secured under His Majesty's Obedience.
