<P>NOt to trouble you with an account of every days proceeding &s;ince the la&s;t that was made publick, though it would afford &s;o many more in&s;tances of the great Care, Vigilance and Conduct of ourlate Governor Sir <HI>Palmes Fai<GAP DESC="illegible" RESP="KEYERS" EXTENT="1 letter">rborne,</HI> as well as of the Enemies Re&s;olution to pre&s;s this Place, we will begin this Relation from the day on which Sir <HI>Palmes</HI> received his Mortal Wound.</P>
<P>The 24th In&s;tant in the morning our Governour was from a Line of the Enemies unfortunately &s;hot in the Body, as he was giving Directi|ons for breaking of Ground upon a little Eminence to the left of the Spur under <HI>Peter borough</HI> Tower, by which Work he de&s;igned to amo&s;e the Enemy: who thereupon taking encouragement from the f<GAP DESC="illegible" RESP="KEYERS" EXTENT="1 letter">ll of Sir <HI>Palmes,</HI> or contemning the &s;mall Guard that was drawn out, made a very bold Sally out of their old Tren<GAP DESC="illegible" RESP="KEYERS" EXTENT="1 letter">hes with which they had en|vironed <HI>Charles-Fort,</HI> which the Spani&s;h Officer at th<GAP DESC="illegible" RESP="KEYERS" EXTENT="1 letter"> head of 50 Hor&s;e (the 200 Spani&s;h Hor&s;e being arrived &s;ome days before) ob|&s;erving, very bravely charged them, and forced them back into their Trenches&punc; pur&s;uing them to their very Line; from whence in his retreat they much galled him, killing him both Man and Hor&s;es, and mak|ing a &s;econd Sally with a greater number, (&s;ome of their Hor&s;e be|ing likewi&s;e come up to a&s;&s;<GAP DESC="illegible" RESP="KEYERS" EXTENT="1 letter">&s;t them) Which &s;o little di&s;cour<GAP DESC="illegible" RESP="KEYERS" EXTENT="1 letter">ged the Spaniards that they renewed the Charge, and forced the Moors a &s;e|cond time into their Trenches, and then retired, and drew up upon the Ground where they were fir&s;t po&s;ted, by which time they were re-inforced by our Engli&s;h Hor&s;e and more Foot, which the Enemy perceiving thought not fit to attempt any thing further. In this Action was killed and Wounded dight or ten Spaniards, and as many Mor&s;es, a Captain in the Scotch Regiment mortally Wounded, with &s;even or eight private Soldiers.</P>
<P>The 25th, we perceived the Enemy had brought a Trench &s;o very near our Stockade at <HI>Ro<GAP DESC="illegible" RESP="KEYERS" EXTENT="1 letter">e&punc; Foxt,</HI> on that &s;ide that looks towards <HI>Ann Fort,</HI> that they had taken encouragement from thence to begin a Gal|lery
<PB N="4" REF="2" MS="y"> in order to a Mine, the Ground being very commodious for it, and had likewi&s;e brought their Cannon to our old Place of Arms, which is but a Pi&s;tol-&s;hot from the Fort, which progre&s;s and bold Proceedings of theirs, put Colonel <HI>Sackville</HI> (who &s;ucceeded Sir <HI>Palmes Faireborne</HI> in his Command) upon calling a Council of War, to con|&s;ult what was fit to be done, for that it appeared without &s;ome extraordinary Action our new Work would be quickly in &s;ome di&s;tre&s;s; and in pur&s;uance to the Re&s;olutions that were then taken.</P>
<P>On Wedne&s;day the 27, by three of the Clock in the morning, the Gari&s;on was in Arms, and &s;uch care was taken, that as well taken in drawing together our Men, as in their march out of the Town, &s;o great a &s;ilence was ob&s;erved, that although the Enemy had had Per|dues on our very Walls, they cou'd not have take the lea&s;t Alarm; our Foot was di&s;po&s;ed into &s;ix Battalions, one of which was compo&s;ed of Seamen, under the Command of Vice-Admiral <HI>Herbert,</HI> and com|manded under him by Major <HI>Banlay,</HI> the other Battalions being com|manded by Major <HI>Hacket,</HI> Major <HI>Boynton,</HI> Captain <HI>Giles,</HI> Captain <HI>Bow|en,</HI> and Captain <HI>Spot,</HI> the whole Party of Foot con&s;i&s;ting of about 1500 Men; The Hor&s;e being &s;even Troops, amounting to 300, were commanded, the Engli&s;h by Captain <HI>Neatby,</HI> Captain <HI>Cay,</HI> and Cap|tain <HI>Lang&s;ton;</HI> the <HI>Spani&s;h</HI> by <HI>Don Salvador de Montfarte Don Marique de Moronia</HI> (who commands two Troops) and <HI>Don Fernando Penatelo</HI> To amu&s;e and divert the Enemy, the Hor&s;e belonging to the Mole, amounting to about 50 were ordered with Riders and a Trumpet at the head of them to March to the Spur at <HI>Peterborough-Tower,</HI> where we pitched &s;everal Colours, and had Drums appointed to beat a &s;trong Alarm, Captain <HI>Makenny</HI> with the Town-Hor&s;e marching at the head of them. On the other &s;ide in the Bay where the Enemy had a Battery of 8 or 9 Guns, Admiral <HI>Herbert</HI> had appointed all the Boats of the Fleet with Wa&s;te-cloaths and Colours, to make &s;hew as if they intended to attempt their Cannon; both which de&s;igns, e&s;pecially the latter took very good effect, drawing a good number of the Ene|my from their Trenches, which appeared by their pitching their Colours all a long the Coa&s;ts, and firing at the Boats. A particular Attack was likewi&s;e ordered to be made out of <HI>Pole-Fort</HI> by 150 Men under the command of Captain <HI>Lundy</HI> and Captain <HI>Hume,</HI> upon the
<PB N="4" REF="3"> <GAP DESC="illegible" RESP="KEYERS" EXTENT="1 word"> Trench, where the Moors had begun a Gallery, in order to the Mineing the Fort, in which Sally Mr. <HI>Sheres,</HI> His Maje&s;ties Sur|veyor General, to who&s;e Valour and Advice much of our good &s;uc|ce&s;s is to be attributed, was pre&s;ent.</P>
<P>The Hor&s;e marched fir&s;t out of <HI>Catherin Port,</HI> and drew up in the Stockade ju&s;t before it, then the Foot, and drew up according to the direction of Colonel <HI>Sackville,</HI> which was performed with &s;o great &s;ilence that the whole party was almo&s;t drawn up, before the Moors took the Alarm. The di&s;po&s;ition of the &s;everal Divi&s;ions, Advanced-Parties, and Re&s;erves both of Hor&s;e and Foot was ordered in the mo&s;t proper and Soldier-like manner the ground would permit, and the Po&s;ts that were to be attacked required. When the Party was ready to advanc<GAP DESC="illegible" RESP="KEYERS" EXTENT="1 letter">, Colonel <HI>Sackville</HI> gave the Signal to the Fort, from whence the Attack beforementioned upon the Enemies Gallery was to be fir&s;t made; Major <HI>Beckman</HI> the Ingineer Marched out with them to give directions about demoli&s;hing the Enemies Worke, and &s;topping their Mine; The Attack proved a hot and very bloody piece of &s;ervice, by rea&s;on of the Enemies having a greater Guard there than ordinary; the two Captains that commanded were im|mediately carried off dangerou&s;ly wounded, as were mo&s;t of the o|ther Officers, among which was Lieutenant <HI>Robin&s;on,</HI> and had not the Re&s;erve come timely to their relief, that Party had run great hazard of being cut off. By this time the whole Body was engaged, the Enemy very &s;tubbornly di&s;puting every Line and Trench where|in we attacked them, coming to Pu&s;h of Pike, and handy-blows in &s;everal places; The particularities of every Action is hard to &s;et down; but after we had beaten them from their new Trenches, we advanc|ed to the old Line, where our Forts formerly &s;tood, which was per|formed with great lo&s;s on our &s;ide (there being not above 50 Men left in one of the Battalions of my Lord <HI>Inchiquin</HI>'s Regiment) and at length by levelling the Trenches made a pa&s;&s;age for the Hor&s;e, through which Captain <HI>Neatby</HI> with his Troop advanced upon the <GAP DESC="illegible" RESP="KEYERS" EXTENT="1 letter">nemy, as did likewi&s;e <HI>Don Salvador de Monforte,</HI> and <HI>Don Manri|que de Moronia,</HI> with theirs, who found a pa&s;&s;age a little more to the Right; upon which the Moors turned their Backs, and betook them&s;elves to flight from all quarters, being pur&s;ued by our Hor&s;e
<PB N="5" REF="3" MS="y"> &amp; Foot, who made very great &s;laughter among them; Many of their Hor&s;e performed very daringly for the re&s;cue of their Foot, among which &s;everal of their principa<GAP DESC="illegible" RESP="KEYERS" EXTENT="1 letter"> Men fell. We pur&s;ued them &s;cattered <GAP DESC="illegible" RESP="KEYERS" EXTENT="1 letter">ike Sheep at lea&s;t a Mile into the Country, ki<GAP DESC="illegible" RESP="KEYERS" EXTENT="2 letters">ing &s;everal of them in the very Campamong their Tents. We took two pieces of Cannon, five Colours, &s;everal Pri&s;oners, and had taken many more had they not refu&s;ed quarter, and killed by computation about 500. After our Hor&s;e and Foot were retreated within our old Lines, which we po&s;|&s;e&s;&s;ed from <HI>James</HI> to <HI>Monmonth Fort,</HI> we fell to filling and level<GAP DESC="illegible" RESP="KEYERS" EXTENT="1 letter">ing their Trenches, wherein we buried many of their Dead, who very bravely lo&s;t their lives in the defence of them; we al&s;o took in an ad|ventageous &s;pot of ground to our new Fortifications, which we forti|fied with a good Stockade, from whence we di&s;cover the Bottom, where the Enemy before lay in Covert from the Fort, and where they had begun their&punc; Gallery in order to their Mine, which about three of the Clock was fini&s;hed, and then we retreated and marched into the Town in very good order, the Enemy contrary to their cu&s;tom permitting us to retire without the lea&s;t di&s;turbance. Some hours after died S<GAP DESC="illegible" RESP="KEYERS" EXTENT="1 letter"> <HI>Palmes Fairborne</HI> our Governour, having fir&s;t had the &s;atisfaction to hear of our &s;ucce&s;s, who&s;e lo&s;s is very much lamented by the whole Gari&s;on.</P>
<P>In the mean time &s;uch of the Enemies dead that remained unburied, being laid together near <HI>Catherine Port,</HI> Colonel <HI>Sackville</HI> our pre|&s;ent Commander, writ to the <HI>Alcayde,</HI> offering him leave to bury them: He, or &s;ome body for him (for it is uncertain yet whether he be living or dead) returned a very civil An&s;wer, and accordingly the Moors fetcht off the Bodies, (and brought three of ours that re|mained in the Field) in a very melanchol<GAP DESC="illegible" RESP="KEYERS" EXTENT="1 letter">y manner, examining &s;eve|ral Heads with great care, many whereof they wrapt up in clean Linnen; by which we di&s;covered they were Men of Note among them. One of them that fell we conclude to be the <HI>Alcayde</HI>'s Brother by &s;everal Papers that were found about him.</P>
<P>This is the fulle&s;t Account we can as yet give you of &s;o glorious an action, wich, though much is due to the Conduct and Bravery of Colonel <HI>Sackville,</HI> Vice Admiral <HI>Herbert,</HI> and all the Officers<GAP DESC="illegible" RESP="KEYERS" EXTENT="1 letter">, as well as to the undaunted Courage of the Soldiers, and among
