<P>THE Port being more open &s;ince the Return of the Forces from the North, I found an Opportunity by Captain <HI>Beal</HI> to inclo&s;e the particulars to the Sheriff of <HI>Che&s;ter</HI> with di|rection to be &s;ent forward.</P>
<P>You Impo&s;e upon me a difficult Task, to Recite the Occurrences here, the very Memory of which is Di&s;mal. We were Mi&s;erable enough before, but when the Duke of <HI>Berwick</HI> Return'd in that Confu|&s;ion before <HI>London-Derry,</HI> never were People in &s;uch a Di&s;traction; Twelve of the Captains of the Re|giment of Guards, who were all that Return'd of Twenty Four Companies, laid down their Com|mi&s;&s;ions in hopes to Compound for their Lives and E&s;tates. Since whole Regiments have followed their Example, as Col. <HI>Kennedy</HI> of the County of <HI>Tiperary,</HI> Col. <HI>Scot</HI> of the <HI>Queens County,</HI> and others. The famous Soldier M. G. <HI>Macarty</HI> was Kill'd, or Mortally Wounded, before <HI>Inniskilling,</HI> where they lo&s;t a great many Men, Mr. <HI>Fitz James</HI> with &s;ome principal Voluntiers and Officers, were brought Wounded to Town. <GAP DESC="illegible" RESP="MURP" EXTENT="2 letters">ng <HI>James</HI> upon this De&s;er|tion of the Officers was over-heard to &s;ay, <HI>I am Twice betray'd.</HI></P>
<P>As an Omen of wor&s;e Succe&s;s, that very Night fell down the Mid Rampier of the Black Tower of the Ca&s;tle, with the Fane, on which was di&s;|play'd the Crown and Regal Arms, which did no harm, only Kill'd the Sentry who was found Dead among&s;t the Rubbi&s;h. The &s;ame Night was blown up, (whither by Treachery or Chance we know not,) the little Store-hou&s;e which was built in the Garden remote from the Ca&s;tle. It &s;hatter'd &s;ome Hou&s;es in St. <HI>George</HI>'s <HI>Lane,</HI> and <HI>Ship-&s;treet,</HI> but did no other damage.</P>
<P>King <HI>James,</HI> Jealous of &s;ome Treachery, (as his la&s;t Refuge,) Arms his dejected Prote&s;tants a|gain. An Oath of Fidelity is Admini&s;ter'd, and Arms deliver'd, both which we are forced to take, or be no longer of this World. The <HI>French,</HI> (dif|daining that any Tru&s;t &s;hould be impo&s;ed in Here|ticks,) drew up in a Body of Two Hundred Hor&s;e to di&s;arm us. We deny. An Officer is &s;ent from King <HI>James</HI> to de&s;ire us to lay down. We Capitu|late and Promi&s;e, if they will let us March with our Arms into Town, we will deliver them at our own Hou&s;es upon Demand. It is granted, and we order'd to be ready upon the fir&s;t Demand, other|wi&s;e, we are Threaten'd, (&s;hould we join with the Prote&s;tants,) to have the City Fir'd about out Ears, as they have done <HI>Carickfergus,</HI> and the re&s;t of the North. And indeed this it is we mo&s;t Dread, the <HI>Iri&s;h</HI> long having Attempted to make <HI>Waterford</HI> the Capital City.</P>
<P>While we are in this Confu&s;ion in <HI>Dublin,</HI> King <HI>James</HI> is advertis'd from <HI>Cork</HI> of the Approach of Admiral <HI>Herbert,</HI> and the <HI>Engli&s;h</HI> Fleet, which were before <HI>Bre&s;t,</HI> di&s;cover'd on that Coa&s;t, bearing up <HI>We&s;tward,</HI> the Wind at <HI>S. W.</HI> and by <HI>S.</HI> K. <HI>James</HI> by their Steering that Coa&s;t, being jealous of &s;ome De&s;ign of <HI>King&s;ail,</HI> gathers all his &s;catter'd Forces together, <HI>French</HI> and <HI>Iri&s;h,</HI> with a de&s;ign to Rein|force that Garri&s;on. They Marched out of <HI>Dublin</HI> on <HI>Thur&s;day</HI> the 8th. In&s;tant. 8000 &s;trong, Natives and Auiliaties, under the Command of the <HI>French</HI> General <HI>Ro&s;e.</HI> On <HI>Saturday</HI> the 10th. The King accompany'd with Coll. <HI>Porter,</HI> Coll. <HI>Stuart</HI> and Two more, follow'd in the Reer, with Re&s;olution to &s;ecure one Important Garri&s;on, if he had Re|linqi&s;h'd another, and Recover in the <HI>We&s;t</HI> what he had lo&s;t in the <HI>North.</HI></P>
<P>But &s;ee the Fate that Attends the Unfortunate Scarce had he got a days Journy off, when Captain <HI>Kelly</HI> who was &s;ent to ob&s;erve the motions of the <HI>Engli&s;h</HI> Fleet at <HI>Che&s;ter,</HI> brought an Expre&s;s, that his Grace General <HI>Schomberg</HI> had Embarqu'd all his Forces on the 8th. which was Two days before the King left <HI>Dublin:</HI> The General him&s;elf being on Board, and fallen down unto <HI>Highlake,</HI> from whence he had &s;et Sail with a fair Wind, and con|&s;equently mu&s;t Land in a few Hours in &s;ome Place|about <HI>Dublin:</HI> Count <HI>Zolms,</HI> having &s;et out &s;ome days before, with the &s;ame Expedition for the <HI>North.</HI></P>
<P>In this Exigence, it is hard to Determin what is to be don. If we loo&s;e <HI>Dublin,</HI> we loo&s;e <HI>Ireland.</HI> If we loo&s;e <HI>King&s;ale,</HI> we &s;hall loo&s;e our Intere&s;t with <HI>France.</HI> The <HI>French</HI> Advice is to go back and Fire <HI>Dublin,</HI> and though the <HI>Iri&s;h</HI> be naturally Inclined to Cruellty, yet are they Animated by the <HI>French,</HI> to Commit this Barbarity, which had it not been pre|vented by K. <HI>James</HI> him&s;elf, had at that In<GAP DESC="illegible" RESP="MURP" EXTENT="2 letters">ant been put in Execution.</P>
<P>An Army of 1500 Men, being left in and about <HI>Dublin,</HI> to &s;ecure the King's Return, he Marches with his 8000 Confederates towards <HI>King&s;ale.</HI> He had not reach'd <HI>Clonmel,</HI> when an Expre&s;s is brought him by En&s;ign <HI>Bourk,</HI> that <HI>Herbert</HI> was with his whole Fleet before <HI>King&s;ale,</HI> that he had Landed 12000 Men, and Be&s;eiged the Garri&s;on. Scarce had he Wi&s;per'd his Doleful News, when Capt. <HI>Coughlin</HI> Rideing in full Speed, Informs him that <HI>King&s;ale</HI> was Be&s;eiged by Admiral <HI>Herbert,</HI> nay, and what was wor&s;e, that by that time he fear'd it was Sur|render'd. Di&s;daining the Report, he Orders the Me&s;&s;engers to be Secur'd, and &s;eeming Undaunted at the News, Marches on with his Army, &s;ince which time he has not been heard of, which has given occa&s;ion of &s;ome Di&s;cour&s;e which I &s;hall not mention until better Information.</P>
