Good NEWS from London-Derry in Ireland BEING A full and True Relation of a Great and Signal Victory which the Protestants there have most happily obtain'd over the French and Irish-Papists June 5th 1689. Licensed and Entered according to Order SIR IN my former I gave you an Account of the late King 's coming before London Derry and what afterwards happen'd till the 23d of April when Kilmore was surrendred at which time Colonel Lundce their then Governour that very Morning made his Escape It now remains that I give a Relation of what has fallen out since and of the Condition of the Place The Besieged having rejected all Offers made them by the late King and provok'd the Besiegers in divers Sallies as also being uncertain when Relief would arrive from England resolv'd to put themselves into the best Posture they could and to that purpose unanimously declar'd their Resolutions to Live and Die with their new Governour Mr. George Walker and Mr. Henry Baker and to submit with an entire Obedience to their Conduct and Commands for defence of the City In the first place they examin'd the Publick Treasury where they expected to have found the Five hundred Pounds sent them from London by Captain Beverly in the first Ship that brought them Arms and Ammunition and a far greater Sum but the Birds were flown Then they took a View of the Ammunition and Stores and found near 500 Barrels of Powder untouch'd Ball and March sufficient as also Bullets for their great Guns of which they have 24 mounted upon the Bastions of the Walls upon the Tower of the Church two and eight within the City that is to say one at each Gate and one at each Corner of the Market-House in the middle of the City and fronting each Gate In the third place They made Inspection into the Stores of Provisions and found a vast quantity of wheat Meal Oat-meal Beef Bacon Salt Salmon and Butter Cheese Malt Beer Brandy c. which was all Inventory'd and put into publick Store-Houses with Guards set over them Also all Merchants and Tradesmen to prevent imbezling their Wares and Merchandizes took Inventories of their several Goods and carry'd them into publick Store-Houses which are guarded day and night Moreover upon a Muster of all that bore Arms they were found to be about 12000 which are all form'd into Regiments and Companies every Regiment under a Col. Lieutenant Col. Major and Captain c. amounting to 17 in all The Colonels are Col. George Walker Governours Col. Henry Baker Governours Col. Adam Murray General of the Field who upon Enterprizes Commands in Chief and Orders all the Sallies Col. Hugh Hammel Col. Henry Muroco Col. Michael Bourn of Tyrone c. Col. Tho. Whitney Col. Henry Crofton Col Alexander Sanderson Eight more whose Names I do not at present remember Tho. Johnson is also made Mayor of the Town All the Women and Children that brought no Subsistance along with them into the City nor could give any account of themselves as also many that are unfit to bear Arms were put our of the Town just before the Siege began which was one reason that they have so many now in Arms in regard that many who brought no Subsistance into the Town rather than be turn'd out of the Gates gladly took up Arms to earn their Sustenance But of two thousand Horse which after the Protestants were broken at Clawde-Ford march'd into London Derry there are not now a hundred left for want of Forrage which constrain'd them to turn the Horses out of the Gates the greatest part of which fell into the Enemies hands only some few are still left that graze under the protection of the City Canon which the Irish however now and then pick up as often as they dare adventure and for which as often they pay very dearly being either shot dead wounded or taken Prisoners The great Gates of the City are barricado'd withinside with huge pieces of Timber the Keys are kept at the Main-Guard and eight Captains two to a Gate are upon the Watch every Night When there is occasion the Keys are not to be deliver'd as was usual to a Serjeant but into the hands of the Captains that guard the particular Post Two Regiments are upon Duty every Night and upon the least Alarum they are all to repair to the Walls without expecting any other Orders There are in the Town five Ministers who have the Commands of so many Companies and have every one of them given signal Proofs of their Valour particularly one Mr. Christopher Jenney The private Souldiers are all in good Heart the Allowance to each Man for a Week being a Salmon and a half two pound of Beef and four quarts of Oat-meal Good strong Beer is also order'd to be sold at a Penny a Quart though not to the Souldiers after Eight at night to avoid Disorders Blinds are also set up by the Command of the Governours to secure the Men upon the Walls from the Enemies Battery There is in Derry one C. Darus of Plattin in the Courty of Meath who is kept a Prisoner as having been taken at Chappel in Scotland and was one that Commanded in the Recruits sent by Tyrconnel to the late King into England General Hamilton has wrote several Letters to the Governours to have this Captain set at Liberty but they do not think fit to part with him nevertheless they use him civilly The Irish also very much lament the loss of Major Robert Nangle the Son of Tory Nangle that was shot at Longford-Bridge who together with two Troopers was drown'd while they endeavour'd to get over the Pass at Clawdeeford 'T is also believ'd that Col. Dominic Sheldon is dead of the Wounds he receiv'd in one of the Sallies made by the Besieged from the hands of one Mr. Arthur Ivory a brisk young Gentleman who fought the Colonel hand to hand till at length two of the Irish coming into the Colonel's Rescue shot the Gentleman dead The late King has made Col. Charles Moore Governour of Colraign where he keepr with a Garrison consisting of 1000 Men. The Marquess of Antrim is made Governour of Charrick Fergus which has the same number of Souldiers to defend it And Gourdon Oncale is also made Governour of Charlemont though not having with him above 200 Souldiers Chester The last Week arrived here a Vessel from Ireland with Passengers who credibly report that the late King have received Advice from the Camp before Derry that they were not a number strong enough to storm the City nor to withstand the Enemy should they have Succours from England and besides that they wanted Ammunition and great Guns gave Orders for a considerable Recruit to march Northward but that when they came within two days March of Derry the Regiment Commanded by young Sir Maurice Austace in the County of Kildare and some other Regiments fell into a great Mutiny swearing by their Shouls they would not go to the King's
