THis morning arrived here the Tho­mas of Leverpool, Ralph Holt, Ma­ster, and the Preston Merchant of this Place, William Leaths Mas [...]er, both from Dublin, which place they left on Fryday last, the 21st. instant. I spake with Mr. Holt, the Master of one of the Vessels, who, upon enquiring of him what News, gave me an Account, that a little before he came away, Advice came to the Lord Ju­stice Porter, that our Army had begirt Li­merick on both sides the River Shann [...]n; that Captain Coal, with his Squadron of Men of War, was Sailed down the River Shannon, within six miles of the Town of Limerick, so that the place is intirely block­ed up on all hands: That by some considerable Deserters, which came lately out of the City into our Camp, the General had an Account, that Tyrconnel died in Li­merick, the day before they came away; his Distemper was partly a Feaver, but chiefly Dispair and Trouble of mind occa­sioned, according to the Relation the De­serters give of it, as followeth: A strong Party being formed in the Irish Army, a­gainst the Earl of Tyrconnel, immediately after our Armies passing the Shannon, the Chief Officers combined together, and en­ter'd into an Association against him, which Tyrconnel having a full account of, at the same time that the Irish Army Encampt themselves at the little Town of Aghrim, he endeavour'd by all the ways and means that possible he could to hinder the same, but all that he could do signified nothing; then they joined in an Address, desiring him, or more rather in a Stile, requiring him to begone out of the Army, and not to be amongst them at the Battel; where­upon, seeing by all the endeavours he had used, he could not prevail upon them, he went away in great Discontent to Lime­r [...]ck, when the F [...]ct [...]n g [...]ew strong a­gainst him there also, which was much encouraged by Mo [...]nsi [...]r d'USSONE, and all the French Officers up [...]n their re­turn from Gall way, so th [...]t it was general­ly believed b [...] his Friends, that the trouble and grief that he conceived thereupon, might have occasioned the Sickness that brought on his Death. The Deserters fur­ther declared▪ That notwithstanding all en­deavours had been used to keep his Death secret, yet it was so general [...]y known, that before they c [...]me a [...]ay, it had great Di­sturbances and Confusions among the Ene­mies Forces, both Officers and Soldiers, some being for Surrendering the Place up­on the Co [...]ditions offered by the General, others for holding out; but which means their Councils were strangely divided, that they had for some-time detained the Trum­pet sent by the General, not being resolved among themselves what Answer to send, that all the Foot the Irish had, that could get Arms, were gone into Limerick, with some Regiments of Horse and Dra­goons, which consisted in the whole of a­bout 15000 Men; That their Body of Horse which is Commanded by S [...]field, for the present, lay Forragin [...] r [...]und the Wal [...]s, un­der the protection of their Cannon; I ha [...] Tyrconnel while he lived, was a bitter E­nemy against the Irish Submitting.
