<HEAD>A Short Account of a Second Engagement, That happened on <HI>Monday</HI> Night and <HI>Tue&s;day</HI> Morning, between the King and Prince of <HI>Oranges</HI> Army near WINDSOR: With the King's withdrawing from <HI>White-Hall;</HI> and the Burning of the Popi&s;h Ma&s;s-Hou&s;es; as al&s;o the Surrender of the Tower of <HI>London.</HI></HEAD>
<P>WE Promis'd in our La&s;t, a fuller Account of the Engagement at <HI>Reading;</HI> but there happen'd &s;ince a deeper Skirmi&s;h between the &s;ame Forces, and other &s;urprizal Accidents &s;ince of greater Con&s;equence, obliges us for the Publick Satisfaction, to give a further Account of the pre&s;ent Occurrences.</P>
<P>The King's Forces at <HI>Reading,</HI> for the &s;mallne&s;s of their Number, being wor|&s;ted; The Prince's Army, without any con&s;iderable Re&s;i&s;tance, made their gradual Approaches towards <HI>Wind&s;or,</HI> where &s;ome Regiments of the King's being Quar|ter'd, went out in Battalia to Oppo&s;e them. The Fight began in the Evening, which continued all Night, with fierce Skirmi&s;hes, manag'd with all the Art and Stratagems that Experience or Courage cou'd direct. In the Morning, coming to a re&s;olute Re-encounter, when the Prince of <HI>Orange</HI> prevailing, got an ab&s;olute Conque&s;t. This &s;udden Defeat, with Horror and Con&s;ternation, drew the Re|&s;idue of the Vanqui&s;h'd Forces towards <HI>London,</HI> as their la&s;t Sanctuary. But the con&s;equence is as deplorable, when coming to Town, they were Disbanded by their Officers, as were &s;everal other Regiments the &s;ame day.</P>
<P>The King having notice of this Defeat, withdrew from Court, with a few Nobles, on <HI>Tue&s;day</HI> Morning, about Two a Clock; the Queen and Young Prince being gone the day before.</P>
<P>The con&s;equence of this, was as Deplorable as His Maje&s;ty's Ab&s;enting, when the Commonalty taking advantage of this Opportunity, did what &s;eem'd good in their own Eyes; and the &s;ame Night, they gathering into Multitudes in &s;everal parts of the City, made great Bone-fires, by pulling down the <HI>Popi&s;h</HI> Ma&s;s-Hou&s;es, <HI>viz.</HI> That of St. <HI>Jones</HI>'s, <HI>Lincolus-Inn-Fields, Lime-&s;treet,</HI> &amp;c. Burning their Foppi&s;h Trumpery in <HI>Smithfield,</HI> and in other open places convenient for that purpo&s;e.</P>
<P>The &s;ame day the Lord Mayor, &s;itting in Council, order'd the Government of the <HI>Tower</HI> into the Hands of the City.</P>
<P>The Prince, without Re&s;i&s;tance, is now Marching towards the City, with his Intire Body. There being this day Arriv'd here &s;ome Officers Commi&s;&s;ioners from His Highne&s;s, to a&s;&s;ign Quarters for his Van-Guard, who&s;e Orders are ef|fectually performed, and Quarters already Taken in <HI>Holbourn</HI> and el&s;e-where; they being expected in Town to Morrow, and the Prince on <HI>Thur&s;day.</HI></P>
