A True and Faithful Account of the intire Defeat of the Rebbel Dundee by Major General Maccay, with the Number of the Slain.

With Allowance,

June the 24th, 1689.

SAtterday in the Afternoon an Express arriv'd from Scotland, and another Yesterday, both of which brought a succession of Glad-Tydings from that Kingdom of no less Import, then the Surrender of the Castle of Edenburgh to King William; for as that Condition draw'd the Consequence of future Success upon the Rebel Dundee, so the Defeat of that Incendiary will no doubt contribute to the Re-establishing the Repose of that Country, which we find to be, viz.

That Major General Maccay by his Wise Conduct brought the King's Forces into such advantageous Posts in the High-Lands, surmounting all the difficulties which the Viscount endeavoured to bring upon him, by dogging him from Hill to Hill, Ensnared him at last in his own Politick Method, making such faint Marches and Counter-Marches, as to draw him into a Defile thro' which he could not so suddenly pass, but that it gave the opportunity to a Detachment of the General's Forces, to oblige him to a Fight, which for some time was obstinately maintained by the Rebels, but within the space of Three Quarters of an Hour the Viscount with all his People was Intirely Defeated, One Hundred and Thirty being Killed upon the spot, besides divers made Prisoners, the Viscount himself narrowly escaping not with about Twenty Horse.

The other Express says, That the Parliament after their Adjournment to the 17th Instant, met accordingly, to whom his Excellency, Duke Hamilton, his Majesties High Commissioner, made a most Excellent Speech, and had the Thanks of the House return'd him for it, they having gone thro' all the Preliminaries of taking the Oaths to King William and Queen Mary, Two Members only Declining, who were afterwards Expelled the House, and the Parliament affirmed all the Proceedings of the late Convention to be Legal and Binding.

The Lord Hume being brought to Edenburgh as suspected to be going to Dundee, is Committed Prisoner to the Castle. And it further adds, That his Majesties Ship, the Jerusalem, Captain Bettwell Commander, with others in his company, Laden with Ammunition and Provision from the City of Bristol, are safely arrived in London-Derry, (as by Letters out of the Place assures,) to the Inexpressible Joy of those People, the Irish not having then finished their Bomes across the Lough.

Editorial practices

EEBO-TCP is a partnership between the Universities of Michigan and Oxford and the publisher ProQuest to create accurately transcribed and encoded texts based on the image sets published by ProQuest via their Early English Books Online (EEBO) database (http://eebo.chadwyck.com). The general aim of EEBO-TCP is to encode one copy (usually the first edition) of every monographic English-language title published between 1473 and 1700 available in EEBO.

EEBO-TCP aimed to produce large quantities of textual data within the usual project restraints of time and funding, and therefore chose to create diplomatic transcriptions (as opposed to critical editions) with light-touch, mainly structural encoding based on the Text Encoding Initiative (http://www.tei-c.org).

The EEBO-TCP project was divided into two phases. The 25,363 texts created during Phase 1 of the project have been released into the public domain as of 1 January 2015. Anyone can now take and use these texts for their own purposes, but we respectfully request that due credit and attribution is given to their original source.

Users should be aware of the process of creating the TCP texts, and therefore of any assumptions that can be made about the data.

Text selection was based on the New Cambridge Bibliography of English Literature (NCBEL). If an author (or for an anonymous work, the title) appears in NCBEL, then their works are eligible for inclusion. Selection was intended to range over a wide variety of subject areas, to reflect the true nature of the print record of the period. In general, first editions of a works in English were prioritized, although there are a number of works in other languages, notably Latin and Welsh, included and sometimes a second or later edition of a work was chosen if there was a compelling reason to do so.

Image sets were sent to external keying companies for transcription and basic encoding. Quality assurance was then carried out by editorial teams in Oxford and Michigan. 5% (or 5 pages, whichever is the greater) of each text was proofread for accuracy and those which did not meet QA standards were returned to the keyers to be redone. After proofreading, the encoding was enhanced and/or corrected and characters marked as illegible were corrected where possible up to a limit of 100 instances per text. Any remaining illegibles were encoded as <gap>s. Understanding these processes should make clear that, while the overall quality of TCP data is very good, some errors will remain and some readable characters will be marked as illegible. Users should bear in mind that in all likelihood such instances will never have been looked at by a TCP editor.

The texts were encoded and linked to page images in accordance with level 4 of the TEI in Libraries guidelines.

Copies of the texts have been issued variously as SGML (TCP schema; ASCII text with mnemonic sdata character entities); displayable XML (TCP schema; characters represented either as UTF-8 Unicode or text strings within braces); or lossless XML (TEI P5, characters represented either as UTF-8 Unicode or TEI g elements).
