By other Aduertisements of the fourteenth of September,
it is certified to the Lord Deputie of Ireland, from the Earle
of Tyron being at his Castle of Dongannon that vpon intelli∣gence
brought to him of the landing of certaine Spaniards in
the North of Ireland, he sent two English Captaines with
their bandes towardes them, to the nomber of an hundred and
fiftie, who found them at Sir Iohn Odogherties towne called
Illagh, and there discouering their nomber to be aboue six
hundred, did that night encamp within a musket shot of them,
and about midnight did skirmish with them for the space of
two houres, in which skirmish the Spanish Lieutenant of
the field and twentie moe of the Spaniardes were slaine, be∣sides
many that were hurt.
The next day following they did offer skirmish agayne to
the Spaniardes, whereupon they all yelded, and so as priso∣niers
were caried to Dongannon to the Earle, who meant to
send them to the Lord Deputie, being iudged to be men of good
value and one thought to be a man that hath had some great
charge and conduct of men for many yeares, whereof the Lord
Deputie will geue knowledge as soone as they shall be
brought to Dublin.
There may be some errours in the writing of the Spanish
names in English, because the same are written by way
of interpretation, but there is no errour in the nom∣bring
of the persons that are either dead or aliue.
