Description

Folio 84. [Robert] Yard reporting to Sir Joseph Williamson [Nine Years' War]. Dutch post from the King's camp say that His Majesty's army, as well as the French, continued still in their camps, and the weather remained very rainy. The castle of Namur and the new fort made a brave defence. The French had taken a small work called the Devil's House and it cost them 1,500 men, and on Sunday they attacked the counterscarp of the new fort, but were beaten off with great loss. The fleet continues still at St Helens, but it is said the Blue squadron is going out upon some design, and in the meantime a great many transport ships are ordered to Portsmouth from the River and other places. The [Jacobite] Earl of Lichfield [Edward Henry Lee], Lord Forbes, Lord [?Edward] Griffin, and several others of those named in the late Proclamation have surrendered themselves.
