The Irish Forces Quartered in and about Connaught came with a design to surprise the Town of Slego to the number of 5000 Horse and Foot Commanded by Colonel O Kelly Of which Colonel Lloyd having timely Intelligence mustered up his Inniskilling Forces making in all about 1000 Horse Foot and Dragoons with whom he was resolved to Fight the Enemy and having Posted his Horse very advantagiously on a rising Ground and lined the Hedges with his Foot in a Lane near the Town of Boyle through which they were to Pass The Enemy were no sooner come up but our Men charged them with all the Vigour and Courage imaginable and after a short time put them to Flight which Colonel Lloyd perceiving took a circumference with his Horse and Dragoons and got into Boyle through which the Enemy were to pass before them where meeting with the Enemy charged them in the Front with his Horse whil'st the Foot fell upon the Rear that they killed 700 on the spot and took 300 Prisoners among which were Colonel O Kelly their Commander and 40 other Officers a great number of Arms 8000 Head of Cattle c. The News of this great Victory coming to His Grace the Duke of Schonberg He ordered the Cannon to be Fired in all the English Quarters On the 28th A Treacherous Conspiracy was discovered in our Camp which was carried on by some French Papists The particulars of which was as followeth A Captain in one of the French Regiments being inform'd by one of his Soldiers That four other Soldiers and a Drummer who were Papists designed to go over to the Irish Army he caused them to be seized and found Letters about one of them to Monsieur D' Avaux who being examined declared he had the Letters from one Du Plessy likewise a Papist who now served as a private Soldier in one of the French Regiments tho' he had been formerly a Captain of Horse in France from whence he was forced to retire on the Account of a Murther he had committed there Du Plessy being seized upon his Examination confessed That he had written to the late King and to Monsieur D' Avaux giving them an account that there were divers Papists in the French Regiments and promising to bring them over to the Irish Camp upon condition he might have the Command of them and his Pardon in France He and his sive Accomplices were brought to a Tryal where Sentence of Death passed upon them and they were Executed accordingly After which the Three French Colone's made strict enquiry what Papists there were in their Regiments and found about 150. who by Order of the General were secured and sent Prisoners to Carlingford and afterwards to England Most of these had deserted the French Service this Summer and passing to Holland and

the Officers being permitted to wear their Swords After which Monsieur de la Meloniere gave Protections to a great many Papists who expected to have plundered and marched to join the Army On Tuesday immediately after the Defeat the Late King James Fled to Dublin and came in there about 10 at Night with about 200 Horse all in disorder and about 12 the whole Body of the Irish Horse came into the City At Five the next Morning being Wednesday July the 2d King James having sent for the Irish Lord Mayor and some principal Persons to the Castle told them That he found all things against him that in England he had an Army which would have Fought but they proved false and deferted him That here he had an Army which was Loyal enough but would stand by him He was now necessitated to provide for his safey and that they should make the best Terms for themselves that they could He told his monial Servants That he should have now no farther occasion to keep such a Court as he had done and that therefore they were at Liberty to dispose of themselves He desired them all to be kind to the Protestant Inhabitants and not to injure them or this City for though he quitted it he did not quit his Interest in it and so with two or three in Company he went to Bray and along by the Sea to Waterford having appointed his Carriages to meet him another way We hear he did not sleep 'till he got on Ship-board and having been once driven in again is since clear gon off All this day being Wednesday nothing was to be seen in Dublin but Officers and Carriages and the principal Persons of the Town their Wives and Families going away others coming in dusty and weary getting away as fast as they could About four in the Afternoon the Protestants were affrighted with the appearance of the Irish Horse which were drawn out of the City early in the Morning and which they hoped had been quite gone entering into Town followed by the French and Irish Foot in a full Body but they only marched through the Town to go farther the Militia that kept the City followed them only the Governour remained At last he resolyed to march also and to drive two or three hundred of the principal Prisoners before him but while they were preparing for this a false Allarm was spread that a Party of the English being Landed at the Harbour were just at the Towns end it was too duskie to disprove this by view and they had not leisure to send a Messenger but in haste shifted for themselves The Protestants now began to look out not knowing well in what Condition they were in but venturing to the Castle they found Captain Farlow who had been a Prisoner there keeping Garrison alone Upon this Captain Fitz-Gerald and several others who had been Prisoners went and stayed there all Night but still they were unsecure having no Arms. Early next Morning being Thursday the Protestants ran about to Roman Catholicks Houses demanding their Arms who being quite dispirited delivered them without dispute By Six in the Morning the Bishop of Meath Dr. King and other Principal Protestants form'd a Committee in the Castle and fixed a Protestant Militia and sent away an Express to the King of the Towns being at Liberty This Express found Him Marching up to Dublin in Two Lines expecting to meet the Irish at Swords Till Afternoon this Thursday the Protestants did not hear a Word of the English Army But upon the having certain Account of the Approach of the English Army the Protestants ran about saluting and embracing one an other and blessing God for this Wonderful Deliverance as if they had been alive from the Dead At Eight that Night one Troop of Dragoons came as a Guard to an Officer that came to take Charge of the Stores It was impossible the King himself coming after this could be welcomed with equal Joy as this one Troop the Protestants hung about the Horses and were ready to pull the Men off them as they March'd up to the Castle The next Morning being Friday July 4. The Duke of Ormond and Monsieur Overkirk came in with Nine Troops of Horse and the King being Encamped by Finglas came on Sunday to St. Patricks Church and heard a Sermon Preached by Dr. King concerning the Power of God of which that which seemed to us greatest upon Earth mighty Armies was a faint Shadow The King went back to His Camp to Dinner not suffering any Soldiers to come into the City except a few for Guards By some Persons in our Army that have viewed the Dead at the Boyne I am told that there was not above Sixteen Hundred Killed on both Sides tho perhaps you may hear of greater Numbers in England which is a wonderful Thing that so small a loss should disperse the whole Irish Army who seemed to be blown away only by a Wind from God July the 5th The Town of Wexford Declared for His Majesty the Manner of it was thus Collonel Butler Lord Lieutenant of the whole County hearing that the Late King James was gone by on Wednesday last he posted after Him and from Duncannon wrote to his Son to come to him and to follow the Late King James to France He wrote also another Letter to Captain Kelly to come away with his Company and to set the Castle of Wexford on Fire which was under his Command but this Letter falling into the Hands of an English Merchant where Collonel Butler was Quartered he did not deliver it but told the Captain how he was sent for concealing that part of the Letter about burning the Castle And so soon as he and his Company were gone the Protestants there rose disarmed the Papists and seized the Castle and at their humble Request by Two Messengers His Majesty sent some few Days after a Regiment with Arms and Ammunition to secure them CHAP.
