<P>WE expect the King with Impatience, the Ca&s;tle of <HI>Belfa&s;t,</HI> and the Ca&s;tle of <HI>Hil&s;|brough,</HI> are prepared in the be&s;t manner to receive his Maje&s;ty; the &s;treets of <HI>Belfa&s;t</HI> are daily &s;wept, and not a Hor&s;e permitted to go into any Stable there, but all kept clean for the King and his Retinue.</P>
<P>One Captain <HI>Smith,</HI> formerly of <HI>Dundalke,</HI> hath, by order of the General, been with a party of Hor&s;e from the <HI>Newry,</HI> to review the Roads thence to <HI>Dun|dalke,</HI> and &s;ays all the Bridges and Cau&s;ways are broke to prevent our march; all the Roads betwixt this place and the <HI>Newry</HI> are mending, and va&s;t quanti|ties of Provi&s;ions are daily &s;ent towards <HI>Ardmagh.</HI></P>

<HEAD>Belfa&s;t, June 16.</HEAD>
<P>The General expecting the King's Landing, came hither on <HI>Friday</HI> in the Afternoon, and &s;ent out Men to all the adjacent Coa&s;ts to watch; and at 9 that Night the Po&s;t-Boy of <HI>Donnoghodee</HI> coming with the Pacquet, brought advice the King had pa&s;&s;ed by that place towards this.</P>
<P>On <HI>Saturday,</HI> about Three in the Afternoon, the General received advice his Maje&s;ty was come into the <HI>Lough;</HI> and thereupon, in his Coach and Sett of &s;mall black <HI>Barbary</HI> Hor&s;es, po&s;ted away to meet the King at <HI>Carrigfergus,</HI> and immediately mounted and rode on Hor&s;eback through the main &s;treet of the Town, where the almo&s;t numberle&s;s crowds of People bid his Maje&s;ty welcom with continued Shouts and Acclamations, at the <HI>White Hou&s;e,</HI> three miles hence, half way betwixt this and <HI>Carrigfergus.</HI> The General met the King at Four of the Clock, who was plea&s;ed for to a light, and go into his Coach, attended only with one Troop of Hor&s;e, and a few Gentlemen, and immediately drove over the <HI>Strand</HI> hither.</P>
<P>The uncertainty of the time and place of his Ma|je&s;ties Landing, and the &s;uddenne&s;s of the News was &s;uch, that few of the multitude that flocked hither to &s;ee it had their ends, the General's motion was &s;o quick; yet before they got into the Town there were abundance who met them&punc; and coming to the <HI>North Gate,</HI> He was received by the Sovereign and Bur|ge&s;&s;es of this place in their Formalities, a Guard of the Foot Guards, and a general continued Shout and Shouts of, <HI>God &s;ave the King, God ble&s;s our Prote&s;tant King, God ble&s;s King</HI> William.</P>
<P>Being come to the Ca&s;tle, his Maje&s;ty alighted, and with the General walked into and round a very fine Garden at the back &s;ide thereof.</P>
<P>Then his Maje&s;ty went into an Apartment appoint|ed for him, and immediately i&s;&s;ued out Orders for bringing a&s;hore 200000 <HI>l.</HI> which came with him into the <HI>Lough,</HI> and 15 Tuns of Half-pence and Farthings in Tin, and that an Account be forthwith &s;ent to the Agents of all Regiments to bring in their Accounts within 3 Days, in order to receive their Mens Pay, <HI>&amp;c.</HI> In order to which, his Maje&s;ty pre&s;ently fell upon Mea&s;ures how to clear all Quarters, and di&s;|charge the Country, and Ordered the Train to be ready to March in a Week. As the King was coming over the <HI>Strand</HI> another Coach of the Generals met him, which his Grace called to out of the former, and Ordered &s;treight forward to the <HI>White-Hou&s;e,</HI> to re|ceive into it &s;uch per&s;ons of Quality as they &s;hould find fir&s;t Landing. Not far from the &s;aid <HI>North-gate</HI> his Maje&s;ty was met by Dr. <HI>George Walker,</HI> late Go|vernor of <HI>London-Derry,</HI> and about Twelve of the Epi&s;copal Clergy, who followed the Coach to the Ca&s;tle, and when his Maje&s;ty alighted Addre&s;&s;ed him in a Congratulatory Speech on his Arrival.</P>
<P>At Night the Streets were filled with Bonfires, and Fire-Works, which were no &s;ooner lighted, but the Alarm Signal was given by di&s;charge of Guns, &s;o planted, that from one place unto another, thro' out the whole Country in our hands, in a few Mi|nutes, all places had notice of the King's Arrival, and in 3 Hours made Bon&s;ires &s;o thick, that the whole Country &s;eemed in a Flame,</P>
<P>So that the Enemy could not but &s;ee and conjecture the Cau&s;e to their Eternal Grief.</P>
<P>At <HI>Lisburne,</HI> one <HI>George Greg&s;on,</HI> the mo&s;t eminent Preaching Quaker in the Province of <HI>&V;l&s;ter,</HI> not making a Bonfire, the Soldiers broke all his Win|dows, pull'd down the Pales round his Hou&s;e, forc'd his Wheel-barrows, Shovels, Pick-Ax's, Tubs, Pitch and Tar-Barrels, out of his back&s;ide and Piled them up before his own Door in a &s;tate|ly Bonfire, and had not his Hou&s;e been Lieutenant General <HI>Dougla&s;s</HI> his Quarters, it had been impo&s;&s;i|ble to &s;ave it from pulling down, though a Guard was upon it, &s;o Angry were the People.</P>
<P>Lieutenant General <HI>Dougla&s;s</HI> is expected here this Day; and this Morning are a great number of Pre&s;|byterian Mini&s;ters come in to wait on his Maje&s;ty with an Addre&s;s. And one Captain <HI>William Cor|mock,</HI> (Brother in Law to Mr. <HI>Ezekiel Webb,</HI> the Reverend Mini&s;ter of <HI>Inniskilling,)</HI> who was the fir&s;t that took up Arms and Proclaimed their Maje&s;ties at <HI>Inniskilling,</HI> and under God the chief In&s;trument of &s;aving that place, is come hither likewi&s;e with a Pe|tition, (and very Ample Certificates in his favour,) to the King, &s;etting forth, That notwith&s;tanding his pa&s;t good Services, and extraordinary Sufferings, by rai&s;ing and long maintaining there 2 Companies at his own Charge, heading the fir&s;t until his only Son was cut off, and him&s;elf taken Pri&s;oner by the Enemy, he was broke and bereaved of his Command, for (as he knows,) no other Cau&s;e, than timely forewarning &s;ome General Officers, that Major Ge|neral <HI>Maccarty</HI> intended to e&s;cape (as he afterwards did from <HI>Inniskilling,)</HI> and prayed his Maje&s;ty to be re&s;tored to the Company he rai&s;ed, or to have the benefit of a Tryal at a General Court Martial, to convince the World he hath not been guilty of <GAP DESC="illegible" RESP="MURP" EXTENT="1 word">
<PB REF="2"> Crime, but is ruined only for his Innocency and Ju|&s;tice, and E&s;pou&s;ing his Maje&s;ties Intere&s;t.</P>
<P>As there was but few Men met his Maje&s;ty ju&s;t at his Landing, &s;o there was but one Woman, <HI>viz.</HI> Capt. <HI>We&s;ton</HI>'s Widow, who la&s;t year rai&s;ed a Company of Foot in <HI>London,</HI> and with the &s;ame lo&s;t her Husband at <HI>Dundalke</HI> la&s;t Winter.</P>
<P>The <HI>Lough</HI> betwixt this and <HI>Carrigfergus,</HI> two Leagues long, &s;eems like a Wood, there being in it no le&s;s than 6 or 700 Sail of Ships mo&s;t loaden with Provi&s;ion and Ammunition, &s;o that now we fear no more <HI>Dundalke</HI> wants; the plenty and order of all things here, is mo&s;t wonderful, and not credible to any but tho&s;e that &s;ee it, I cannot think the <HI>German</HI> War ever had the like, and yet all Goods hold a good Rate, Beer 13 or 14 l. the Tun, Claret and Whitewine 15 l. the Hog&s;head, Canary and Sher|ries 10 s. a Gallon, Malaga, and right good Brandy 8 s. a Gallon, Wheat 25 s. the Bri&s;tol Barrel, Mault 17 s. a Barrel, Flower 15 s. the Stone, Chee&s;e 35 s. the Hundred, Salt 12 d. the Gallon, and &s;o propor|tionable for all other Goods for Back and Belly.</P>
<P>The Inhabitants are preparing (at <HI>Lisburne)</HI> an Addre&s;s to pre&s;ent the King.</P>

<HEAD>Lisburne, June 19.</HEAD>
<P>His Maje&s;ty hath continued at <HI>Belfa&s;t</HI> until this day at Noon, when he came thence hither, and dines with the General, and this Night goes for <HI>H<GAP DESC="illegible" RESP="MURP" EXTENT="1 letter">l&s;|brough,</HI> where he re&s;olves to continue until he goes to the Camp, which is now forming near <HI>Tanderagee,</HI> about 20 Miles South from hence, on the very Fron|tiers between <HI>Ardmagh</HI> and the <HI>Newry,</HI> and all the Army have Orders forthwith to repair thither. Some part of the Train at <HI>Belfa&s;t</HI> is &s;hipt to go about by Sea, as 'tis thought, to meet the re&s;t at <HI>Dundalke;</HI> the other part of it hath Orders, as this day, and to morrow, to march this way towards the Camp, and that part that's at <HI>Hilsbrough,</HI> is al&s;o to march forth|with.</P>
<P>The Regiments of the Earl of <HI>Meath,</HI> and Lieu|tenant Colonel <HI>Dougla&s;s,</HI> are this Night to march hence to the Camp. Lieutenant General <HI>Dou|gla&s;s</HI> is here, as al&s;o Prince <HI>George,</HI> Earl of <HI>Oxford,</HI> and abundance of other Nobility and Gentry.</P>
<P>This Day are Landed at the <HI>White-Hou&s;e</HI> 2500 Hor&s;e from <HI>Scotland,</HI> and this Day Marched through this place for the Camp Three White <HI>Dutch</HI> Regi|ments of Hor&s;e; all our Army are in a wonderful good order, and furni&s;hed with new Tents, and new Arms, as well as new Cloaths. The great number of Coaches, Waggons, Baggage-Hor&s;es, and the like, is almo&s;t Incredible, to be &s;upplyed from <HI>England,</HI> or any one the bigge&s;t Nation in <HI>Europe,</HI> I cannot think any Army in Chri&s;tendom hath the like. None but they that &s;ee it can belive it, or that it could be po&s;&s;ible for all the Men be&s;ides, (if joined in one Body&punc;) &s;hould &s;tand before them.</P>
<P>La&s;t Week a Sculking Party of the <HI>Iri&s;h</HI> of about 20, betwixt <HI>Monaghan</HI> and <HI>Clowni&s;h,</HI> &s;urprized Six of our Men Travelling with Swords only, whom they a while kept Pri&s;oners, but at la&s;t offered them Li|berty for Monie; whereupon our Men de&s;ir'd leave to Advi&s;e together about procuring their Demands; which while they were doing, the <HI>Iri&s;h</HI> laid down and quitted their Arms at a &s;mall di&s;tance to &s;moak To|bacco, and take Sneezing, which our Men perceiving, got to their Arms, killed two on the &s;pot, wounded and took &s;everal of them Pri&s;oners, and returned to their Quarters.</P>
