<SALUTE>SIR,</SALUTE></OPENER>
<P>YOurs I have received, and according to my promi&s;e I here &s;end you what at pre&s;ent occurs, <HI>viz.</HI> On Saturday night la&s;t here arrived Mr. <HI>Richard Swan</HI> a Cutler, who lived upon <HI>E&s;&s;ex</HI> Bridge in <HI>Dublin,</HI> with two more, who left <HI>Dublin</HI> on Thur&s;day la&s;t, and bring this account, That before they came away, K. <HI>James</HI> had i&s;&s;ued forth his Proclamation, commanding all Prote&s;tants of the inferiour &s;ort, from Sixteen to Sixty, to appear upon St. <HI>Stephens</HI> Green, a place near the City, much like your <HI>Moor-fields London;</HI> but it hapned that very bad News coming from the North. That the Forces of <HI>Enniskilling</HI> had Beaten a part of the Iri&s;h Army, forcing them to a &s;hameful Retreat, put the Court at <HI>Dublin</HI> &s;o much out of order, that the Con&s;tables were ordered to go about, commanding the people to keep their Hou&s;es, and not to &s;tir out. And that the Copper Money which is made Cur|rant in that Kingdom, hath already undone mo&s;t of the Inhabitants, in &s;omuch, that the Exci&s;e Office is forced to take it, there being no other Money to be had. And that it is &s;uppo&s;ed the Army before <HI>Derry</HI> will
<PB N="2" REF="2"> will be drawn off, they having been &s;o Harra&s;&s;ed with the continual Fatigues of the Siege. He al&s;o confirms the Impri&s;onment of the prin|cipal Inhabitants; and that upon the News of the Engli&s;h Army going thither, they were in a great Con&s;ternation. Here are arrived about One hundred and eighty Sail of Victuallers, with Eleven Convoys and Tenders, there having been Three Ships fitted up for Men of War at <HI>Liverpoole,</HI> and a Fire-&s;hip. And here are &s;hipped off Twelve Regi|ments of Foot, one of Hor&s;e, and one of Dragoons, goes from <HI>White-haven,</HI> being full of Courage and Re&s;olution, under their Noble and Experienced Commander Count <HI>Solms;</HI> &s;o that we doubt not but by the ble&s;&s;ing of God to have a very good Account ere long of tho&s;e blood thir&s;ty people, who have acted &s;o barbarou&s;ly again&s;t the Innocent.</P>
