Williamson August 9. 1649. The last great and bloudy FIGHT At DUBLIN in IRELAND UPON The advance of the King of Scots Army to the Walls of the City for a storm with the manner thereof and the number killed and taken prisoners SIR THe Marq. of Ormond we hear is resolved for a storm and in order thereunto hath drawn down most of his Horse and Foot within two miles of the City skaling ladders and other instruments of Warre being in a readinesse to be put in execution And by our last expresse from thence we were advertized that he had made severall attempts against the North side of the City stormed Patrick Fort and many other places but received so desperate a repulse that he were forced to quit the place and desist from any further enterprising on it in which conflict he lost about 50 men Sir Thomas Armstrong is also very active for his young Soveraign and maketh many onsets against the Out guards and having a choice and select party drawn forth of severall Regiments he advanced from the Camp within pistoll shot of the walls of Dublin and endeavoured to drive all before him but Col. Jones made a salley and charged him with such courage and successe that he not only regained what before lost but killed and took about 60 of the enemy During which action the L. Inchiquin playd his Guards with great policy and by his strong allarum on the South side of the City kept the besieged in play whilst another party disputed the Rings-end who at the last became masters thereof with the losse of 20 men since which time he hath attempted the cutting off the Mills neer adjoyning to the City and as we hear are resolved suddenly for a finall storm But that which addes most to the propagation of the Work in hand is the taking of the strong and impregnable Castle of Trius with many pieces of Ordnance Arms and Ammunition but not without the losse of at least 1000 men since the first befieging thereof Bristol 7 August 1649. Other Letters from Dublin say as followeth 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 Ormond 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 begirt 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 But the thing that our Souldiery are most doubtfull and dubious of is 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 On Thursday 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 four or five desperate attempts within Pistol shot of our Line Spurs and Sconces which continued for the space of half an hour till at the last Capt. Freeman Commander in chief of the new Fort made a salley out with a party of horse and foot who placed the Musquetiers in an 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 to dispute the place and thereupon divided his horse being 60 in number into two parties he himself commanding the one and Cornet Jackson the other Capt Freeman charged the Van of the Enemies Forlorn Cornet Tomson flanked them and upon their first charge exchanged ground with the losse of three men on both sides New Propositions to the King of Scotland May it please your Majesty VVE are commanded by the Estates of Parl. of your Maj.
