BY Sir ROBERT STEWART Knight And directed To the Right Honourable Sir IOHN BORLASE Knight One of the Lords Iustices for the Government of the Kingdome of IRELAND Right Honourble and my very good Lord IPresume I need not informe your Lordship of the severall Encounters these Regiments have had with the Rebells how in a place of the greatest advantage for the Rebells of any in Vlster after relief of the Castles of Donegall Ballishanon and Castlerachan and bringing off Sir Ralph Gore his house being no place of Strength in our returne we were assaulted in the middle of a wood growing upon steep Mountaines on every side at a very strait passe by neer two thousand Rebells our forces not exceeding much twelve hundred we forced the passage and so beate them in their own known choise groūd brought off all after a skirmish continued five houres and made a safe retreate with little or no losse at all having killed above a hundred of the Rebells I presume also that your Lordship hath heard of our marching to ô Cahan's Countrey where with some eighteen hundred my own Sir VVilliam Stewart and Sir Ralph Gore 's Regiments assisted with some foure Companies out of Derry we did encounter two thousand foure hundred rebells beat them killing two hundred took nine or ten Colours took in the Castle of Dungiven taking prisoner one of the chiefest of the Sept of the ô Cahans releeved Colrane and victualled the two Castles of Limavaddy and Ballicastell yet defended by the Brittish and so having killed some three hundred more which we found in scattered Companies by twenties and thirties at a place called Macgillegin we retired home with very little or no losse at all as also how Sir Phelim ô Neale with some foure thousand coming strong to assault us the 25. of Aprill was beat put to the flight by some two thousand of ours having lost one hundred men we were stopt from prosecuting the victory and pursuing the Rebells by reason of the boggs impassable for our horses That which now I would impart to your Lordship is a late conflict which befell on the 16. day of this moneth of June The Rebells being gathered from all quarters chased by the English and Scots forces from the severall Counties of Tirone Antrim Armagh Downe Fermanagh and Donegall under the Comand of Sir Phelim ô Neale himself Collonell a Caen lately arrived from Spain after twenty yeers travells abroad assisted by Coll Kittaghs sons two Scots High-landers with many high-landers more making up in all six thousand foot and five hundred horse the former night having stood in armes at a halfe a mile and lesse distance all the night that morning about sun-rising our forces being drawn up in number not exceeding much two thousand foot and three hundred horse after we had sent out some comanded Musquettiers and horse to view the rebells more neere who being drawn up very orderly upon the approach of our Commanded men from a hill opposite to us where they lay the night preceding and were then drawn up in two brigades judging that our body should have faln down to have seconded them came on with a furious and swift March making a terrible out-cry in their march according to their maner but our men having received orders to retire to the body if they were assaulted did retire accordingly and in retiring gave fire the Rebells apprehending that retreat to be a flight marcht streight close together in two brigades towards ours which after we had perceived having obtained our end in drawing them towards that litle hill where we were scituat we began to march slowly they still advancing Coll Kittaghs sons cryed up for their valor as invincible Champions with their high-landers and some others assaulted my brigade fiercely insomuch that they were not far from coming to push of pike but seeing the resolution and constancy of our men advancing still and not loosing ground galling them with continual shot finding their reare to shrink back first and then to flie at last after a quarter of an houres stand they turned faces and so did all that Brigade flie which that which was opposite to Sir William Stewart seeing did beare their Countrey-men Company and so fled confusedly their troops never so much as offering once to draw near far lesse to charge took the same course the foot took we had the chase and execution of them for six or seven miles killed as is thought five hundred tooke some Colours and gained divers Armes and Drums besides the dead many we heare are dangerously if not mortally wounded This is now the second time that the titular Generall Sir Phelim with his farre greater forces hath been beaten in the field by us with an happy successe which I pray the Lord of Hosts to continue to ours and all other Brittish forces in Ireland that at last we may see our desire upon our Enemies and the Crown of this Monarchy flourish upon our Kings head in peace Culmore 21 Iunij 1642.
