Two Letters from Sir Charles Coote Lord President of the Province of Connaught in Ireland For the Honourable VVilliam Lenthall Speaker of the Parliament Honourable Sir BEing advertized by severall hands that upon the retreat of Monroes party out of the Laggan he would joyne with the Lord of Ards and Claneboyes about Charlemount and march into these parts of the Counties of Downe and Antrim for reliefe of Carickefergus and that they did expect many of the Scottish Inhabitants here to rise and joyne with them I drew forth what Force I could make with security to the Garisons on Saturday the 25 of November to a Randezvouze at Drombo between Belfast and Lisnegarvy which consisted of part of my owne Regiaments of Horse and Foot and others that I brought from the Laggan Sir Theophilus Jones and Collonell Chidley Cootes Regiments of Horse with Collonell Venables his Troope and Lisnegarvy Horse Colonell Slaydes Regiment of Foot part of Colonell Venables and foure Companies of Colonel Fenwicks in all about 1500 Foot and 1200 Horse The next day we advanced to Lisnegarvy and lay there six dayes though very ill accommodated by reason of the former burning of that place and Country about it by Monro On Friday the 30 of November the Enemy advanced into the Country and slipt by us beyond Drummore into Mac Cartans woods which we could not hinder lying at such a distance nor could we advance higher into the Country without hazzarding the Enemies passage another way over Bogs and Mountaines to Carrickfergus On Saturday they came to Cumber and early on Sunday to New Towne We followed them and had like to have ingaged them on their rising from Cumber some of them were cut off in the Rear and some of their Tents and Ammunition taken but comming a little short and the waters being up they got into New Towne whither we sent a strong party to face them and provoke them to fight whereunto not finding them inclined and the weather so excessive wet our Ammunition spoyled and victuals spent we marched backe to Malone to refresh our men change our Powder and get new supply of Bread intending to visit them againe within two dayes But they prevented it by their march upon Wednesday last the 5 Instant within a Mile of Lisnegarvy intending to get over the River of Laggan above that place and to passe into the County of Antrim to Carrikfergus on which we drew up againe to Lysnegarvy on this side of the water to oppose their passage expecting hourely with Major Ormesby 400 more of my Horse which I had sent for out of the Laggan who came immediately after our advancement and were very serviceable in the execution The next morning assoon as the Enemy arose we marched after them very early out of Lisnegarvy and before they had marched a mile from their Quarter we ingaged with their Rear-guard upon a Boggy passe on the Plaine of Lysnesreane and after an hot dispute our Van-guard of Foot being commanded by Major Gore of my owne Regiment and that of Horse by Major Dunbar of Sir Theophilus Jones his Regiment who both behaved themselves very gallantly got the Passe and killed Cap. Hambleton and divers others in the charge After which Forlorne of Horse it was Sir Theophilus Jones place to charge who did it with a great deale of gallantry prosecuting the Enemy whose grosse Body made little resistance from place to place till they were totally routed I sent off Major King and Cap. St. George with a party of Horse to make good a Passe which the Enemy of necessity must have gone through who behaved themselves extream well in prosecution of the Orders given them so that we conceive there could not be lesse killed then a thousand of the Enemy neither Officer or Souldier of the Army omitting any thing that was possible to be done by men the execution being pursued above eight or ten miles and but for the Bogs and thicke wood few of them could have escaped And such horsemen as did escape left many of their horses and fled on foot All their Ammunition and Baggage was taken and most of their foot Officers Collonell Henderson that betrayed Sligo was killed and Col. Hambleton is prisoner with divers other Officers what became of the Lords of Ards and Claneboyes and Monro I am not yet able to give an account some of our party being yet upon the pursuite their number was 2000 Foot and 800 Horse as we were informed the night before we ingaged with them by some of their men that ran to us from them as likewise by prisoners which we took in the fight they were all Irish except a very few The most of the Scots which the Lords brought with them left them nor did any in the Country joyne with them wee lost but one corporall of Horse and three private Souldiers and not many hurt For all which wee have great cause to blesse Gods holy name to whom only the glory is due On Thursday next Carickfergus by the capitulation is to be surrendred unto us and I doubt not they will now performe with us but such is the sad condition of this Province by these late troubles and the great destruction that hath been made by all parties that it is impossible to support men enough out of the contributions thereof to secure the Garisons and Country from the incursions of the Enemy untill Charlemount and Eniskelly be first taken in so that the Parliament must be pleased to afford us supplies for our men or this Country now almost wasted will be totally ruined which but moderately handled for one six months would afford a constant considerable reliefe to their Forces This Gentleman Capt.
