<HEAD TYPE="sub">WITH A large and full Account of the State of King <HI>James's</HI> Affairs in <HI>Dublin,</HI> And his late Proclamation about Prote&s;tant Churches.</HEAD>
<P>A Ve&s;&s;el arrived at <HI>Milford,</HI> on <HI>Saturday</HI> la&s;t, the Ma&s;ter whereof brings this following Account: That Three of Their Ma|je&s;ties Men of War, the <HI>Dover,</HI> St. <HI>Alban</HI>'s, and the <HI>Experiment,</HI> with Tenders, &s;teering their Cour&s;e for the Bay of <HI>Waterford,</HI> having a fair Wind that came up with it; and after a &s;mall time, they put Sixty cho&s;en re&s;olute Men on Shoar, within a Mile of a &s;mall place called <HI>Horkter,</HI> which had Fifty Soldiers in it; which on the Lan|ding of our Men, (it being a Place of no Strength,) they immediately fled to <HI>Waterford:</HI> After which, our Men return'd to their Ships, bringing off with them, be&s;ides a great Booty, &s;everal Prote&s;tants: Our Men verily believed, that had they had but Five Hundred Men, they could at that Juncture ea|&s;ily have &s;urpriz'd and taken the &s;trong Fort of <HI>Dungannon.</HI> We could not de&s;cry the appearance of any Parties, either of the Garri&s;on of <HI>Waterford,</HI> or <HI>Dungannon,</HI> 'till &s;ome time after our Men were abroad again, they &s;uppo|&s;ing, as we imagine, that we had &s;ome

<P>On <HI>Saturday</HI> la&s;t pa&s;&s;ed through <HI>Che&s;ter,</HI> for <HI>London,</HI> two Gentlemen, who lately made their e&s;cape from <HI>Dublin;</HI> by whom, among other Re|lations, we have it confirmed, that Three Regiments of <HI>French</HI> marched into <HI>Dublin;</HI> upon who&s;e arrival, King <HI>JAMES</HI> ordered Coll. <HI>Dar|rington,</HI> and Coll. <HI>Fitz-James,</HI> to march their Regiments towards <HI>Droghedagh,</HI> and to deliver their Po&s;ts to the <HI>French;</HI> which &s;o alarm'd the Chief of the <HI>Iri&s;h,</HI> that after a &s;hort Con&s;ultation among&s;t the Principal of their Officers, it was agreed, That <HI>Darrington,</HI> accompa|nied with &s;ome others, &s;hould wait upon the Late KING, to know, if by this His Maje&s;ty's Orders, it was intended the <HI>French</HI> &s;hould have the Guard of his Per&s;on: Which, after &s;ome &s;mall time of <HI>Cabinet-Con&s;ultation,</HI> The KING declared it to be His Plea&s;ure: Which Words &s;o &s;urprized and incen&s;ed <HI>Darrington</HI> and his Party, that immediately him&s;elf, Col|lonel <HI>Baker,</HI> and about Twelve other Chief Officers went to the KING, and delivered up their Commi&s;&s;ions; telling him withal, that many more re&s;ol|ved to do the like.
