Great NEWS from IRELAND An Account of the Kings Royal Camp Before the City of Limmerick And of a Late Defeat of the Enemy There With a particular Relation of the C of Tyrconnel's Severity to the Bishop of Limmerick And the Actions of the French at Gallway SIR THis City has been filled for these several Days past with great numbers of our Country-men that are come from London in their way home most of which are bound for Dublin and parts adjacent where we understand all things are brought into a fine way of Settlement both in Matters Ecclesiastical as well as Civil and His Majesty in the several Counties through which he has past hath settled the Cities Burroughs and Corporations upon their Old Establishment and likewise the High Sherriffs and the Militia or Train'd Bands His Majesty has been Attended and Addressed by the Reverend Bishops and Clergy of the several Diocesses He has past through and also by several Nonconforming Ministers My good Old Bishop of Limerick has suffered a great loss at his House at Limerick for the Countess of Tyrconnel just before her going to France procured some Armed Force of the Garrison with whom she entred the Bishops House which was very well Furnished with all sorts of Houshold-Goods c. and took from thence what she thought fit telling my Lord That if he pleas'd he might replenish himself out of what she had left in her House in Dublin and so she rubb'd off with her Son to Paris The great Failure of the Lough or that part of the River that lies near the City of Limerick is very remarkable and a thing which has not been known before I am sure in my time in the most dryest Summer to become Fordable which we hear is now in two or three places which gives us a great Instance to shew how Almighty God is pleased to say Amen to His Majesty's most Just and Righteous Undertakings by Faciliting the Reduction of the Rebels in this Kingdom with so little loss of Christian Blood And in Order for the continuance of the Blessing of Almighty God on His Maiesty Army and good Subjects of Ireland there is a Solemn Fast kept very Religiously every Friday both in the Royal Camp and in the several Cities and Towns in Ireland that are in Their Majesties Possession It 's the Opinion of many Gentlemen here That we shall have a Parliament called in Ireland before we have any Term the Wind being at present contrary we have nothing here very new from His Majesties Gamp tho we do not in the least doubt but that the first Pacquet that arrives will bring us the Confirmation of the Surrender of Lymerick Our last left the Royal Army Encamped very near Lymerick The King's Head Quarters being within half a Mile of the City that upon part of our Army's approach very near the City the Enemy made a Sally with the chief Strength of the Garrison but were soon beaten in again and in their Retreat to the Town a great part of them were cut off that the Irish Army which not long since made a considerable Body of Twenty Five Thousand Men were now dwindled to a very inconsiderable Number and they retired upon the Approach of Our Army farther into the Countrey great Numbers of all sorts having quitted them some time before who were retired over the Bogs to the Mountains and Caves their Old Lurking-holes You seem to wonder at the French quitting of the City of Lymerick it is as you writ the strongest place in Ireland stronger than that of Gallway but the latter is situated far more Advantageous for the French to get off to their own Countrey which doubtless if they are not already they will be forc'd to it in a very little time The City of Lymerick is situated Threescore long Miles from the Sen now Gallway is but Nine Miles The Haven of the City of Gallway is the most considerable in the Province of Connaught being a very great Bay some Mile broad and many more long having in the Mouth Three Islands called the Isles of Arr●n the which lie North and South by the side of each other there remaining the Channels for to come out of the Sea into this Bay One Channel runneth betwixt the Land and the Northern Isle and called therefore North-Sound The Second between the same Northern Isle and the Middlemost which Channel being the most usual of the Three is commonly stiled St. Gregories Sound And the Third between the most Southermost Island and the Main named South Sound in the uppermost part of the Ray one may Anchor in Five or Six Fathoms of Water Printed for D.
