Parl. D. Com. To the Honorable VV Lenthal Esq Speaker of the Honorable House of Commons Mr. SPEAKER UPon the twelfth of this instant I marched from Moyallo to meet the Rebells army who that morning marched from Kintuirk towards me with Twelve hundred horse and Seven thousand foot but they gave themselves out to be Two thousand horse and Nine thousand foot and both armies came in view one of another about one in the afternoon ours being Twelve hundred horse and near Four thousand foot Whereupon they instantly took a Hill of strength and advantage and drew up which being two miles distant from us we had not day-light enough to attempt any thing upon them and therefore lodged our men in a convenient place about a mile from them from whence we might observe that we could not charge them where they were but upon disadvantage and being doubtful that they might stand a while the next morning upon that ground in expectation that we would come up to them I writ the inclosed Letter to the Lord Taaff to invite him to fight upon a fair plain that lay between both armies and would be indifferent to both sides To which he gave o other answer but by word of mouth to my Trumpeter That he was not so little a Soldier as to forgo any advantage of ground he could gain And I do now finde that there is a prophesie that Mac Donogh should spill much English blood upon Knocknass which heretofore hath been the name of that hill and my Lord Taaff conceiving himself to be that Mac Donogh in regard the estate of Mac Donogh in Conaught was made the reward of his Grandfathers service against the Rebels the last Wars which is now his he would not be drawn from the Hill to which therefore we did advance and finding that as they were drawn up we should not onely have lost the advantage of the wind and sun but have been also forced to charge upon much disadvantage to our horse if we had gone on directly on their front we drew to the right hand of them and found a piece of ground within a convenient distance to play with Ordnance upon their Right wing where I caused two pieces to play to the intent that I might discompose the form they were in and in the mean time I directed the drawing of our men to the ditch at the foot of their Hill that they might be ready to fall on whilest they should be removing from their ground But after two shot was made one whereof slew a Trumpeter of theirs they perceiving that the Ordnance would force them from that ground presently came on down the hill to meet our men and at the same instant that we brake their main Body and left Wing they brake a part of our left Wing of Horse being the middle Division of three that were on that side the other two routed those that charged them and following the execution discerned not the advantage gained by the Rebels upon those close by them where Col Purcel with his Horse and Sir Alexander mac Donnel whom they call Collae Kittagh with his Red-shanks slew Sir William Bridges and Col Gray then had the execution of our Forlorn-hope of Foot under the command of Lieutenant Col Crisp who was taken prisoner and Major Brown who was slain with about Forty of their men that were drawn thither to secure the Ordnance which Sir Alexander mac Donnel possessed a while as also our Baggage until I hapned to look back that way and perceiving them chasing our men I commanded two Divisions of Horse who were the Reserve of the right Wing to charge them which was exceedingly well performed and Sir Alexander and his Lieut Col slain with most of all his Red-shanks of whom I believe there was not above a fourth part that escaped This Fight began a little before two in the Afternoon the dispute lasted not above half a quarter of an hour but the execution ended not in that day for though we were killing till night as fast as we could yet we found Two or three hundred the next day in the Woods as we were viewing the bodies but could not possibly get any exact accompt of the
