the Officers being permitted to wear their Swords After which Monsieur de la Meloniere gave Protections to a great many Papists who expected to have plundered and marched to join the Army On Tuesday immediately after the Defeat the Late King James Fled to Dublin and came in there about 10 at Night with about 200 Horse all in disorder and about 12 the whole Body of the Irish Horse came into the City At Five the next Morning being Wednesday July the 2d King James having sent for the Irish Lord Mayor and some principal Persons to the Castle told them That he found all things against him that in England he had an Army which would have Fought but they proved false and deferted him That here he had an Army which was Loyal enough but would stand by him He was now necessitated to provide for his safey and that they should make the best Terms for themselves that they could He told his monial Servants That he should have now no farther occasion to keep such a Court as he had done and that therefore they were at Liberty to dispose of themselves He desired them all to be kind to the Protestant Inhabitants and not to injure them or this City for though he quitted it he did not quit his Interest in it and so with two or three in Company he went to Bray and along by the Sea to Waterford having appointed his Carriages to meet him another way We hear he did not sleep 'till he got on Ship-board and having been once driven in again is since clear gon off All this day being Wednesday nothing was to be seen in Dublin but Officers and Carriages and the principal Persons of the Town their Wives and Families going away others coming in dusty and weary getting away as fast as they could About four in the Afternoon the Protestants were affrighted with the appearance of the Irish Horse which were drawn out of the City early in the Morning and which they hoped had been quite gone entering into Town followed by the French and Irish Foot in a full Body but they only marched through the Town to go farther the Militia that kept the City followed them only the Governour remained At last he resolyed to march also and to drive two or three hundred of the principal Prisoners before him but while they were preparing for this a false Allarm was spread that a Party of the English being Landed at the Harbour were just at the Towns end it was too duskie to disprove this by view and they had not leisure to send a Messenger but in haste shifted for themselves The Protestants now began to look out not knowing well in what Condition they were in but venturing to the Castle they found Captain Farlow who had been a Prisoner there keeping Garrison alone Upon this Captain Fitz-Gerald and several others who had been Prisoners went and stayed there all Night but still they were unsecure having no Arms. Early next Morning being Thursday the Protestants ran about to Roman Catholicks Houses demanding their Arms who being quite dispirited delivered them without dispute By Six in the Morning the Bishop of Meath Dr. King and other Principal Protestants form'd a Committee in the Castle and fixed a Protestant Militia and sent away an Express to the King of the Towns being at Liberty This Express found Him Marching up to Dublin in Two Lines expecting to meet the Irish at Swords Till Afternoon this Thursday the Protestants did not hear a Word of the English Army But upon the having certain Account of the Approach of the English Army the Protestants ran about saluting and embracing one an other and blessing God for this Wonderful Deliverance as if they had been alive from the Dead At Eight that Night one Troop of Dragoons came as a Guard to an Officer that came to take Charge of the Stores It was impossible the King himself coming after this could be welcomed with equal Joy as this one Troop the Protestants hung about the Horses and were ready to pull the Men off them as they March'd up to the Castle The next Morning being Friday July 4. The Duke of Ormond and Monsieur Overkirk came in with Nine Troops of Horse and the King being Encamped by Finglas came on Sunday to St. Patricks Church and heard a Sermon Preached by Dr. King concerning the Power of God of which that which seemed to us greatest upon Earth mighty Armies was a faint Shadow The King went back to His Camp to Dinner not suffering any Soldiers to come into the City except a few for Guards By some Persons in our Army that have viewed the Dead at the Boyne I am told that there was not above Sixteen Hundred Killed on both Sides tho perhaps you may hear of greater Numbers in England which is a wonderful Thing that so small a loss should disperse the whole Irish Army who seemed to be blown away only by a Wind from God July the 5th The Town of Wexford Declared for His Majesty the Manner of it was thus Collonel Butler Lord Lieutenant of the whole County hearing that the Late King James was gone by on Wednesday last he posted after Him and from Duncannon wrote to his Son to come to him and to follow the Late King James to France He wrote also another Letter to Captain Kelly to come away with his Company and to set the Castle of Wexford on Fire which was under his Command but this Letter falling into the Hands of an English Merchant where Collonel Butler was Quartered he did not deliver it but told the Captain how he was sent for concealing that part of the Letter about burning the Castle And so soon as he and his Company were gone the Protestants there rose disarmed the Papists and seized the Castle and at their humble Request by Two Messengers His Majesty sent some few Days after a Regiment with Arms and Ammunition to secure them CHAP.

We came to a place called Bennets-bridge within 16 Miles of Waterford where we Encamped Here we understood that on the 18th the Enemy quitted Clonmel notwithstanding it is a very considerable Pass lately strengthned by the addition of several new Fortifications and Major General Sarsfield was Posted there with 5000 Irish but on the approach of our Army in its Neighbourhood he retired towards Lymerick This day four French Officers came over to us they give an account That the Earl of Tyrconnel and the Count De Lausun are Fortifying of Lymerick the remains of the Army being in that Neighbourhood but in a very ill condition having lost all their Baggage This day His Majesty Dined with the Duke of Ormond at the Castle of Kilkenny On the 20th We Decamped from Bennets-Bridge and marched about seven Miles to a place called Rossen-narrow and the next day we came to Carick His Majesty commanded a Trumpet to be sent to Summon Waterford requiring them to Surrender the Place They desired time till the next Morning when they sent out Articles but the King not approving thereof let them know that they should go out with their own Arms and Baggage only and that if they did not accept thereof but stayed till they were Attacked he would give them no Quarter However they sent some of their Scruples again the next day and Major General Kirk was sent thither with five Regiments and several Pieces of Cannon to answer them the next day in the Afternoon the Capitulations were Signed and the next day after the Garrison Marched out with their Arms and Baggage the number of 1600 and were conducted to Mallow 12 Miles in their way to Lymerick The Garrison would not have had so good Terms only His Majesty had Compassion on 300 Protestant Families in the Town Several of the Irish Officers staid behind in the Town and prayed His Majesties Protection The same day the Lord Dover and Lord George Howard with several others submitted themselves to the King The Garrison of Athlone upon the approach of Lieutenant

an Attack to be made on the Counterscarp which was begun about Three in the Afternoon a Detached Party of Granadeers made the onset and was seconded by other Detachments who went on with that Heat and Courage that having gained the Counterscarp and a Fort which the Enemy had under the Walls instead of lodging themseves there as they were ordered to do they mounted the Counterscarp following the Irish that fled that way and some were entring into the Town but the Enemy being intrenched behind the Breach and having Planted Cannon against it they were cut off The Fight lasted Three hours during which the Enemy were still supplied with fresh Men. What Men we have lost in these several Actions we cannot precisely say but by the best computation its thought we may have lost about 700 killed and wounded during the beginning of the Siege The 28. At Night we advanced our Trenches about ●0 yards notwithstanding it had Rained most part of the day it continued to Rain all this Night and all the next Day to the 30 th almost without Intermission so that our M●n waded above their middle in the Trenches On which after a Council of War being called His Majesty thought fit to give Order for the raising the Siege The 30.
