The King finding his new Parliament slow in advancing Money for disbanding the Army Parliament dislolved and one called to sit the ●7 of October 1679 and withall beginning to nible at a Bill for Excluding the Duke of York first he prorogues them from the twenty seventh of May to the fourteenth of August and in the mean time July the twelth he dissolves them So as this Parliament proved as short lived as the former was long And another Parliament is called to sit the seventeenth of October following SECT 6. Sect. 6 At this time troubles began to arise in Scotland for on the first of June a great party of the Presbeterions to the Number of fifteen Hunder'd Rendevouz'd under the Command of Robert Hamilton at Lowden-hill and Marching to Glasgow from thence Issued a Declaration Covenanters up in Armes in Scotland giving their reasons for taking up of Armes But this business has been so often and so fully published and so universally known as I think a repetition or a particular Relation of the progress and event altogether unnecessary farther then to tell you that the King sent the Duke of Monmouth speedily down to Scotland who so managed the matter Defeated by the Duke of Monmouth June 22. 1679. that on the twenty second of June Encountering this ill governed multitude at Bothuel-bridge he defeated them totally near eight Hundered being killed and a greater Number taken And so an end was put to this undertaking Tho the main designe was to render the Duke of Monmouth Odious to the Presbiterians Duke of Monmouth declared a Ba●●a●d by sending him on this expedition yet it proved quite otherwayes for the whole Protestant party were now so affrayed of a Popish Successor that they cast their eyes on Monmouth so favourably as they lookt on him as the only Person after the Kings death to stave off the Succession of his Brother whom they so much dreaded so this project failing the next was to declare him ●llegit●●te which on the third of March following the King did very solemnly giving it in writing with his own hand it these words Given under the Kings hand For the avoyding of any dispute which may happen in time to come Concerning the Succession of the Croun I do hereby declare in the presence of Almighty GOD that I never gave nor made any Contract of Marriage no● was Married to any Woman in whatsoever but to my present wife Queen Katha●●●e now living CHARLES REX Whitehall March the third 1679. CHAP. V. Anno 1680. An. 1680. Duke of York returns to England About the latter end of August 1680 the King fell sick which the Duke of York he●ing of he came to England and on the second of September went to the King at Windsor the Consequent whereof was the Banishment of the Duke of Monmouth Monmouth banished who reteired to Vtrecht and a little after the Duke of York went back to Bruss is but with no design to stay long there for on the twelth of October he with his whole Family arrived at St James's to the astonishment of many And on the twenty seventh of November after Both return soon to England All Monmouths places taken from him the Duke of Monmouth came to London being welcomed by the Citizens with all possible expressions of Joy which so displeased the Court and Irritated the King as all his

Douglas and his party joined him the day following SECT 12. Sect. 12 From thence the King Marches towards Lamrick And on the 9th the Army made their approach to the City in excellent order Seige of Lamrick And though the Irish had considerable parties of Horse Drag●ons and Foot posted advantagiously in inclosed Grounds and behind hedges for near two Miles from the Walls of the Town the English went resolutely on beating and driving the Enemy from hedge to hedge to their very Wal●s losing but 11 or 12 Men in that difficult and hazardous enterprize and before five at Night the Army was posted and the Seige formally laid That Night the King sent a Summonds to the Governour to yeild which he utterly rejected and so they went to Work It 's Reported that a French Man and a Gunner deserted the Army the day before and getting into Limrick gave a particular account of the Artillery which was coming from Dubline Whereon Sarsfie●ld with a body of Horse passed the River in the Night time Sarsfeid takes the Artillery at Cullin far above Limrick and marching about through the Hills on the 12. of August fell in upon the Train by day break at Cu●len killed about sixty of the Guard and of the Waggoners The Troopers pickt up as much of the best of the Baggage as they could carry away with them and then drew together the Carriages Waggons Tin-boats Ammunition and all the provisions into a heap about the Cannon and filling them full of Powder and putting their Muzles under the Ground laid a short Train and at their marching off fired it which blew up the whole heap with a hideous noise The Night before Sir John Lanter was ordered out to Cullen being within 9 Miles with Six hundred Horse to bring the Artillery safe into the Camp but he came too late by an hour in which time Sar●fi●●ld was got out of his reach This unhappy adventure was very unpleasing to the whole Army however the Seige went on and the Trenches were opened on the 17 Batteries are presently raised and it happening that at the blowing up of the Train at Cullin Two of our Cannon Twenty four Pounders escaped spliting these were brought up and mounted which did special good service dureing the Seige My Author says That it would be an endless task to trace particularly all the attacks and defences made at this Seige And I say so too being present at it so passing by circumstances of the proceedings I shall as he does give you an account of the most material Action and of the Conclusion of this unsuccessful enterprise After a breach had been made over the black Battery Limrick attackt nigh St. Johns Gate of about twelve Yards in length On Wednesday the 27th of August the King ordered the Counterscarp to be attackt and the signal being given half an hour after three afternoon the Granadeers went boldly on and in a Trice beat the Irish quite from the Co●nterscrap they flying to the breach the Granadeers pursued and lodged themselves upon the breach whereon many of the Irish forefook both the breach and the Walls and fled in to the Town and had not the Regiments that were to second the Granadeers The Asseliants beaten off stopt by some unhappy mistake they might undoubtedly have carryed the Town at that first Assault but the Irish observing that the attack was not pursued and push● on with that vigour as they expected and feared return'd to the Breach and so pepper'd the English with incessant fireing as after three houres resistance they were forced to retreat The Brandenhurgers at this time had got upon the Black battery closs by the Breach where a great deal of the Enemies Powder lay which unhappily taking sire blew a great many of them into the Air and falling down again on the hedge-stakes which were fixed round the Battery there they hung like Skar-Crows At this Attack there were killed five hundered and above a Thousand Wounded and the Army was so greived at this unexpected repulse and the King himself so much concern'd as he resolved to raise the Seige The King goes for England And so the very next day he went to Dun●annon accompanyed with the Prince of Denmark and several other Lords and on the 5th of September took ship and arrived at Kings-road near Bristol the day following and on the 9th he went to Windsor Before he left Limrick he appointed the Lord Sidney and Thomas Connin●by Esquier Lord Sidney and Thomas Coninsby Esqueir Lord Justices Lords Justices of Ireland and Count Solms General of the Army who going to England soon after left the Command to the brave General Ginkle Within three days after the Kings departure General Solms breaks up the Seige and dispersed the Army into Winter Quarters The Seige broak up On the 21 of Septermber The Earl of Marelborough with some Forces arrived in Cork ●arbour and being joyned by the Duke of Wirtemberg Major General Scravenmore Major General Tetteau and Four thousand of their Forces on the 26 He presently formed the Seige Cork yeilded which continued not long for they plyed the Town so warmly as Collonel Mckillicut the Governour came to a Parley and surrendered the Garison consisting of Four thousand were made Prisoners of War Kinsale yeilded and all the Ammunition and Armes in the Town delivered up to the Victors And before the fifteenth of October Kinsale and both the Forts were surrendered to Marlburrough Leaving Ireland We step over now to inspect how Affairs go between the Confederates and the French King The Duke of Savoy having continued neutral hitherto The French King presses him to declare And in the mean time for security of his Neutrality requires the Citade●s of Verceil and Turin to be put into his hands which motion being declin'd by Savoy and France becoming more and more suspicious of him Monsieur Catinat is commanded to march the French Troops as far as Turin which he did yet forbearing for a time all Acts of Hostility Duke of Savoy joins with the Confederates The Duke of Savoy having spun out the time as long as he could by some unsatisfying Overtures to the French King at last openly declares himself and allying himself first with the Empeperour and the King of Spain soon after he Embarques with all the Confederates The first Article of his Treaty with the Emperour was this He engages not to enter into any Treaty of Allyance with the most Christian King without consent of the Emperour show he kept this Article the World knows and the next Article was he engages himself to act jointly with the Emperour and the rest of the Confederate Princes against France and her Adherents The Articles betwixt the Emperour the King of Spain and the Duke of Savoy are written at length by my Authour The Summ of all being a full and firm mutual Confederacy against France Defensive and Offensive together with some
