<SALUTE>SIR.</SALUTE></OPENER>
<P>BY a Ship arrived this day from <HI>Dublin,</HI> from very good Hands, we have this following Account, <HI>viz.</HI> That our Army then having Intelligence that 20000 of the <HI>Iri&s;h</HI> Army were come over the <HI>Shannon,</HI> with a de&s;ign to &s;urprize and cut off 10000 of our Men that were po&s;ted at <HI>Mullingar.</HI> It was ordered that <HI>Dougla&s;s</HI> and <HI>Wol&s;ely</HI> &s;hould, with a Party, march round, and get betwixt the Enemy and the <HI>Shannon;</HI> and General <HI>Ginkle</HI> and Maj. Gen. <HI>Kirk</HI> &s;hould march from <HI>Dublin</HI> with &s;ome detachments of Men, to re-inforce the Party at <HI>Mul|lingar,</HI> and fall upon the Enemy.</P>
<P>Which Project took &s;uch effect, that on <HI>Friday</HI> the 27 of <HI>February,</HI> both Armies met together at a place called <HI>Ballimore,</HI> the <HI>Iri&s;h</HI> being a|bout 20000. and ours about 12000; Where they had a very hot En|gagement for five Hours. The <HI>Iri&s;h</HI> behaved them&s;elves brave enough, for after they were broken, they rallied again very vigorou&s;ly three times; but were forced to retire to <HI>Athlone,</HI> unto which place they were pur|&s;ued to the very Walls. Our Men that were appointed to interpo&s;e be|tween them and the <HI>Shannon,</HI> came but ju&s;t to fall into their Rear, as they were retiring. In this Action we kill'd and took Pri&s;oners between Five and Six Thou&s;and Men, with the lo&s;s of about Two hundred of Ours. It is &s;aid, <HI>Sarsfield</HI> is mortally wounded: But 'tis certain that General <HI>Ginkle</HI> was brought to <HI>Dublin</HI> on Sunday-night in a Coach, &s;orely wounded. We have taken mo&s;t of their Bagage, and al&s;o their Hor&s;es, which are very poor and lame. Accept of this brief Account, from</P>
