Tents next adjoyning to those of the late King James and the Count de Lauzun His Majesty rested very well at Night and at Eight the next Morning being July 1. was again-on Horseback and while the great Bullets were flying the Prince of Dermstadts Horse was shot in the Neck By a Protestant Deserter that swam over the River last night we were informed that the Enemy were 25000 strong that they had sent away some of their heaviest Baggage in order as they gave out to Fight us The King commanded the Count de Schonberg to march with all the Horse and Dragoons of the first and second Line of the Right Wing and the Brigade of Trelawney and to pass the River about four Miles from the Camp in order to take the Enemy in Flank while the rest of our Army passed it nearer Drogheda over against their Camp which the Enemy perceiving they marched part of their Army to oppose the Count de Schonberge who had already broke some of their Squadrons of Horse and Dragoons that advanced to hinder his passing the River and drew them up in Batalia about a Mile and a half from the place where he had passed the River The King being informed of what had passed on that side sent Licutenant General Douglass with two Brigades of Foot to re-inforce the Count d● Schonberg who thereupon changed his Order of Battle making a Wing of Horse on his Right and another on his Left and placing the Foot in the middle In this posture he marched towards the Enemy whom he found drawn up in Batalia and charging the Enemy after some small Resistance put them into disorder and followed them Fighting as far as the Village called Duleek The Earl of Portland and Monsieur Overkirke had part in this Action as Mareschals de Camp In the mean time the King caused the rest of the Foot of the first Line consisting of the Brigades of la Meloniere which was on the Right of Hanmer and the Danes to march The three Batalions of the Dutch Guards were at the head of them and passed the Ford on the Right over against the Village before mentioned from whence they beat the Enemy that were posted there The Battalion of la Meloniere followed them on the Lest and these four Battalions being the first that passed the River suffered pretty much of the latter there were five Officers killed and eight wounded and about sixty Soldiers killed and wounded Monsieur Calimote followed the Dutch Guards with his Detachement of 600 Men whereof mention was made before and after them the Regiment Cambon And here it was that Collonel Calimote received a Shot of which he is since dead and several of his Officers were killed upon the place Duke Schonbergh headed the Dutch Foot-Guards and the King the Inniskilling Horse telling them They should be His Guards that Day Some of the Irish Horse oppos'd the Dutch Foot who fought up to the middle in Water and were almost born down before some Horse which they long called for could come up to their Relief In passing this Ford Dr. Walker Famous for the Siege of Derry was killed The Brigade of Hanmer passed next another Ford the Count de Nassau being at the head of them as Major-General and the Danes passed on their left Commanded by the Prince of Wirtembergh After these passed the Horse of the left Wing but in the mean time some of the Enemies Squadrons as before mentioned advanced and Attack'd our Foot And a Squadron of the Enemies Guard du Corps pierced with great Vigour as far as a little Village where we lost our great General his Grace the Duke of Schonberg who advanced thither to observe the Enemies motion Those that were about his Grace had before done all they could to perswade him to retire from thence but they could not prevail with him He was killed with a Carbine shot in the Neck and three Cuts over the Head and one on his Face Captain Foubert who was next to him and had likewise received a wound in the Arm got from his Horse to help the Duke but he died immediately without speaking a word By this time the King had got over the River who in passing it with his Horse met with the like opposition The Danish Horse once gave way but the King went himself and brougt them up again and at the head of the Horse Charged the Enemy who after some Resistance retired Fighting Commanded by Lieutenant-General de la Hoquelle and Lieutenant-General Hamilton Monsieur de Lauzun being with the body who made head against the Count de Schonberg the late King James himself no● Engaging but standing at the Reer of them on a rising Ground out of harm● way The Enemy retreated from Defile to Defile our Horse pursuing them as far as Duleek where the King with the Forces he had with them joined those of the Count de Schonberg The Enemy retired about 3 Miles farther and there Posted themselves in a very advantageous place and the King followed them with his Horse and Dragoons and Orders were given to Attack them there but it being very late and the Fight having lasted from 10 in the Morning 'till 9 at Night his Majesty did not think fit to engage the Troops any farter but ordered the Horse and Dragoons to remain in Arms all Night He returned to Duleek where the Foot Encampt But in the Night the Enemy retired in great Confusion We took their Baggage and eight Pieces of Cannon July the 2d the King sent Monsieur de la Meliouere Brigadier-General with a Detachment of 300 Foot and 1000 Horse with 8 Pieces of Cannon to invest Drogheda Being arrived there the Governour receiv'd the first Summons with great contempt but the King sending him Word That if they forc'd his Cannon to be Fired on them he would not give them any Quarter This so frighted the Governour that having kept the Trumpeter some time he returned Monsier de la Melionier this Answer That he would Surrender the Place upon fair Capitulation viz. To march out with Arms and Baggage Colours Flying c. but that otherwise he would defend the place to the last Extremity Melonier sent him Word That his Orders were only to suffer them to march out without Arms and that he must quickly resolve whether he would accept of this Offer In the mean time Monsieur de la Meloniere had caused two Batteries to be raised which would be ready the next Morning by break of Day But the Officers of the Garison after having consulted together resolved to yield and the Capitulation being Signed they delivered up a Gate and marched out about an Hour after between thirteen and fourteen hundred Men and were conducted to Athlone
