Major Boynten stayed with his Battalion near Monmouth Fort for a reserve The Admiral Herbert had ordered all the Long-boats belonging to his Fleet to be manned and Armed and row out towards the Enemies Batte● that they had made use of nine Piece of Cannon to play upon the Mole and th● Ships that lay near which proved to be very advantagious to our design by re●son it gave a jealousie to the Enemy and diverted a considerable part of their Forces Master Sheers ordered all his Mole Horses to be mounted with Men an● Armes and Captain Mackenzie was commanded with them and sixteen of 〈◊〉 own Troop to March out at the Furrage-gate in the Castle and without th● Spur before Peterburrough Tower with a Colours of each Batalion of Foot with in the Spur and several Drums from each Battalion Captain Mackenzie gave the Allarum toward Charles-fort at the same tim● they attacked before Pauls-fort The Horse that pursued the Enemy to their Camp returned in good order with little or no loss The Battalions of Dumbartons Regiment continued to ke●● their Post at James-fort till about four of the Clock in the Afternoon Th● Enemy upon our Retiring of our Horses and Foot within the old Line did advance again with Colours into their old Trenches and behind the little Sand-hi●● all round from James to Monmouth-fort within Pistol-shot The Battalion of Seamen that was Posted on the left hand of Dumbartons Battalions continued like wise Skirmishing with them till about four of the Clock in the Afternoon and about that time Major Betman Ingenier who had been mightily employed and exposed all the day having then ended his Business and all the Enemies place of Arms being thrown down and their Trenches filled up the Signal was given from the Fort to Retire from the Lines which was observed with very grea● Order and Conduct And the Moors who never had such a defeat from the Garrison of Tangier did not offer to follow us upon our Retiring according to their former Custome There were five Prisoners taken alive four Collours taken two Piece of Cannon many good Arms both Fire-locks and Cymetars and a great deal of rich Plunder of Cloaths and Silver and Gold which is a great sign of man● of their Officers and best sort of People being killed to the judgement of all that was in that Action they lost 400 Men. There was left within our Lines a great many of their bodies and about thirty-six of their heads cut off and brought in whereof the Sea-men had great store The next day we gave back their Bodies and Heads to them to bury This happy Victory we obtained with the loss of a great many of our best Officers and Souldiers whereof I cannot give an exact account save of the two Battalions of Dumbartouns Regiment 〈◊〉 Render Justice to every one All the Officers in general behaved themselves with great Conduct and Courage And to do Justice to the Moors They Fought most bravely for the space of two hours and especially their Horsemen did the hardest and boldest things tha● ever was seen done But they were not numerous for there was not seen above 150 Horsemen The Prisoners we took confess they had not above 3000 Foot and 150 Horse commanded by the Alcade of Tituan All the Officers both Scots and English behaved themselves in this Action with a great deal of bravery and resolution and particularly Lieutenant Collonel Talmash who carries to His Majesty the good news of this Victory This is a true Relation of the Action Sic Subscribitur Major JA.
