VValker their Governour, and preserved the Place couragiously, enduring great extremity; but at last they were supplie•• with Provisions by way of the River, and the Besiegers, after great loss sustained, drew off and left them, August the 13th. His Grace 〈◊〉〈◊〉 Duke of Schombergh l••nded his Forces in Ireland, near Carrickfergus, and reduced divers Places to obedience, causing the French and Irish Army to retrea••. Not long after, Governour Walker safely arrived in England, and waited upon their Majesties at Hampton-Court, with an humble Address from the Governours, Officers, Clergy, and Gentlemen in the City and Garison of London-Derry, at which time His Majesty was pleased, as a Mark of his Royal ••ounty, to order him Five thousand Pounds, with this Assurance, That it should not at all lessen his Kindness to him and his Family.
