A RELATION OF A Great Victory Obtained by Their Majesty's Forces in Ireland, over the Irish Rebels.  
In a Letter from Leverpool to a Friend in London.  
Leverpool, March the 3d, 1690. SIR.  
BY a Ship arrived this day from Dublin, from very good Hands, we have this following Account, viz. That our Army then having Intelligence that 20000 of the Irish Army were come over the Shannon, with a design to surprise and cut off 10000 of our Men that were posted at Mullingar. It was ordered that Douglass and Wolsely should, with a Party, march round, and get betwixt the Enemy and the Shannon; and General Ginkle and Maj. Gen. Kirk should march from Dublin with some detachments of Men, to reinforce the Party at Mullingar, and fall upon the Enemy.  
Which Project took such effect, that on Friday the 27 of February, both Armies met together at a place called Ballimore, the Irish being about 20000. and ours about 12000; Where they had a very hot Engagement for five Hours. The Irish behaved themselves brave enough, for after they were broken, they rallied again very vigorously three times; but were forced to retire to Athlone, unto which place they were pursued to the very Walls. Our Men that were appointed to interpose between them and the Shannon, came but just to fall into their Rear, as they were retiring. In this Action we killed and took Prisoners between Five and Six Thousand Men, with the loss of about Two hundred of Ours. It is said, Sarsfield is mortally wounded: But 'tis certain that General Ginkle was brought to Dublin on Sunday-night in a Coach, sorely wounded. We have taken most of their Baggage, and also their Horses, which are very poor and lame. Accept of this brief Account, from  
Your Humble servant, etc.
