Anno MDCXLIX A BLOUDY FIGHT IN IRELAND BETWEEN The King of Scotlands Army and the Parliaments forces since their taking of the strong Garisons of Tredagh Dundalk and Trim upon the advance of the M. of Ormond and the Lord Inchiquin with 20000 horse and foot for the close besieging of the City Right Honoured SInce the taking of the three impregnable Garrisons of Tredagh Dundalk and Trim the Enemy hath exceedingly streightned us and have now gained more then ever they lost before having incamped themselves within half a mile of the City and many of their Out-works and trenches are lesse then musket shot of our walls The la●● night about 10 of the clock they allarm'd us our Governor and the Captains of the Guards were soon in a readinesse to receive them and gave them a great volley● insomuch that we received some respite of ease till two in the morning at which time the Lord Inchiquin with a select party of horse and foot of his own Brigade gave us a visit and very desperately and resolutely fell upon our man in some th the Out-works who being overpowr'd were forced to quit the respective places and make their retreat to the next place of sanctuary but not without losse for by their sudden assault the poor Defendants felt the terrour of their bloud-thirsty Sword and about 30 sacrificed their lives in the place which action being with great vigour prosecuted Inchiquin returned to his Tents singing hallelujah for his tryumphant successe but we doubt not but to make our scor●s even before many dayes are expired The Enemy make their neer approaches to our Line threaten a storm but it s believed their repuls the other night at the storming of Patrick Fort will somewhat retard that work for they were disorderly beaten off with the losse of about 50 men The Lord Inchiquin hath sent a peremptory Letter to our Governour intimating That he heard Crumwell was advancing into that Nation with an Army of English Rebels to relieve him but if he durst come thither he should be welcome and better entertained by his Lordship then he was ever either by England Wales or Scotland c. Our Governour returned a very mode●● and resolute answer That as he had vndertaken a Trust so he should be faithfull therein to the last moment whether any forces or none came for relief of him But the thing that our Souldiery are most doubtfull and dubious of it that they fear the enemy will not give them a field upon the additionall forces landing but that they wil rather betake themselves to the Bogs and Woods And although we cannot but represent our selves in a very sad condition without timely relief yet we cannot but exceedingly rejoyce at the gallantry of faithfull Col. Jones our Governour under such a state in this his present condition Since the enemies receipt of the intelligence of the Lord Lieutenant Crumwels designment for this bleeding City they have somewhat awakened us with stronger allarms and as we hear have entred into Protestation to live and die stand and fall together and to fight it out to the last man and that upon receipt of the foresaid intelligence Ormend called a Councell of Officers at the head quarters neer Fingles the result was whether they should prepare for a storm before his Lordships landing or whether they should begir the City streighten other Garisons take in what they could and then randezvouz and draw into a Body and give him battell at his landing Upon mature deliberation thereon it was unanimosly declared by most of that Popish and Prelaticall faction That if he set footing there they wold fight him in the mean time they would use their utmost endeavours for the reducing of those Garrisons which the Parliament had in possession On Wednesday morning last a party of the Marq. of Ormonds horse and foot faced our frontier Guards keeping a great careering up down neer the City Wals and making severall bold attempts within Pistol shot of our Line Spurs and Sconces which continued for the space of half an hour till at the last Capt Cambray Commander in chief of the new Fort made a salley out with a party of horse and foot who placed the Musquetiers in 〈◊〉 obscure trench for an Ambuscado he himself being the Coy for the calling in and ensnaring of the adverse party but upon his first advance towards them with his horse he found it a Work very full of difficulty by reason that they had used the like point of policp However he resolved 〈◊〉 dispute the place and thereupon divided his horse be●●g 60 in number into two parties he himself commanding the one and Cornet Jackson the other Capt. Cambray charged the Van of the Enemies Forlorn Cornet Juckson flanked them and upon their first charge exchanged ground with the losse of three men on both sides but upon their present wheeling both parties received each other wit● a second desperate Onset who with great courage reso●ution kept their stations disputing the place with great g●●lantry but at last our men being over powred by the coming on of a fresh supply of horse were forced to e●●race an honourable retreat the enemy pursued to t●● very turn-pikes where they were soon welcomed by the ●ons of Mars both from the mouth of the Canon and Mu●quet at which Volley 7 of them were forced to yeeld obedience to the earth which caused the enemy to desert further dispute or engagement leaving dead and wounded upon the place about 17. of our party five slain and two wounded By Letters further from Dublin it is advertized that the Marq. of Ormond and the L. Inchiquin with 20000 Horse and Foot have imrenched themselves in many places within Musquet shot of the Walls and by their strong allarums being very resolved since the taking of Tredah keeps us in continuall action the last night their Pioneers wrought exceeding hard and raised an half Moon within musket shot of our Out-works where was placed about 400 musketiers and four pieces of Ordnance it was contrived very artificially and strong with a running Trench from their frontier incampings which secures their men from great annoyance of our round shot this morning we sallyed out upon them with a resolution to beat them off from the said Fort but finding too much opposition retreated to our Redout which was within Pistoll shot thereof about 4 of the clock severall parties of horse and foot were drawn forth on both sides who engaged each other and after a sharp conflict disputed with grew gallantry the enemy retreated and having a Reserve ready at hand our men durst not embrace the pursuit but returned Victors with 17 prisoners left dead and wounded upon the place about 15 with the losse of 14 men which the enemy in the night time set off and buryed Our Governour is very vigilant and resolved not to surrender upon any conditions By the next I shall impare my self more fully Dublin 19.
