wherein the Enemy have Garri&s;ons down the River.</P>
<P>Very early this Morning, the Enemy fired from two Guns they had drawn down below the Town, on our left; which Obliged us to Draw a little fur|ther off, till we could better &s;ecure our Men.</P>
<P>This Morning, Orders were given for Arming One Thou&s;and Granadoes, and Six Hundred Bombs; which were many of them, ready to Play by Eight of the Clock at Night.</P>
<P>This Day, <HI>Carrick Gunnel</HI> Ca&s;tle, who&s;e. Garri&s;on was 130 Men, and Two Cap|tains, Commanded by one <HI>Archbold,</HI> Sur|rendered upon Mercy; and the Pri&s;oners were immediately put into the <HI>Provoe</HI>'s Cu&s;tody.</P>
<P>This Day, likewi&s;e, our Fleet, being Eighteen Sail Compleat, came up the <HI>Shannon,</HI> towards <HI>Lymerick,</HI> under the Command of Captain <HI>Coale</HI> &Dagger; They fired &s;o briskly, as they pa&s;&s;ed by the Enemies &s;mall Camp in <HI>Cother<GAP DESC="illegible" REASON="bleedthrough" EXTENT="1 letter">ough,</HI> that they made mo&s;t of them &s;camper to the Adjacent Hills. Our Ships came to an Anchor, two Miles below the Town, where they will be a&s;&s;i&s;tant in Battering the Place.</P>
<P>The 28th. This Morning the General went on Board the Fleet, which he with|in le&s;s than three Miles of the Town; and after having had a &s;hort Conference with Captain <HI>Coale,</HI> he returned again on Shar, to the Camp.</P>
<P>The 29th. We had an Account this Day, That the I&s;land of <HI>Buffin</HI> baving Ca|pitulated to &s;urrender, Captain <HI>Dunbar</HI> who is ordered to be Governour of that <HI>I&s;&s;and,</HI> was Sailed thither, with a De|tatchment of Sir <HI>Henry Bella&s;&s;is</HI> Regi|ment, to Garri&s;on it: Likewi&s;e, That the Earl of <HI>Granand</HI> with one Thou&s;and of the <HI>Militia</HI> of <HI>Dublin,</HI> being joyned with many Regiments of the <HI>County-Mili|tia,</HI> and &s;ome Regular Troops, had pa&s;|&s;ed the <HI>Shannon</HI> at <HI>Athlone,</HI> in their way to <HI>Slego,</HI> in order to reduce that Place: This Afternoon we began to Play with our Mortars,</P>
