An EXACT RELATION OF THE Late King JAMES's Embarking for France: And of the Proclaiming K. William: WITH THE Present Condition of Dublin, and other Places near that City.
In a LETTER from DƲBLIN.
DƲBLIN, Saturday, July 5. 1690.
Honoured Sir,
I Presume, er'e this, you have received the Letter I sent you from our Camp, near the Boyne. Since that, you have known by other hands, that by one Fight we have frighted and scattered our Ene∣my, and were presently possessed of the strong Town of Droghedah, and are now as quietly setled in this City, yet in much better Condition than was expected. They left Stores filled with Provision of Mouth and War: They have great Stores likewise in the Country; which are all open for our receipt.
Their King is run away, with the Duke of Powis, Tyrconnel, and some few more, to∣wards Kingsale; their Army all scattered in the Country; so that the War seems new to be at an end. Galloway, Limerick, and Athlone are, as I hear, the only places like to stand out against us; and having no hopes of Relief, will, as its thought, be easily surrendred.
His Majesty you see hath conquered this Kingdom, with a Veni vidi vici, it will require more of his trouble to settle then to conquer it: I cannot now further enlarge, the Express waiting the motion of my Pen, but to tell you, this day by the Post, if possible, will send you a more particular account.
