BULLETIN FROM THE LONDON GAZETTE or JUNE 16th, 1793. Whitehall, June 16, 1798. ISPATCHES, of which the following are Copies, have been this Day received from His Excellency the Lord Lieutenant of Ireland by His Grace the Duke of Portland, His Majefty's Principal Secretary of State for the Home Department. MY LORD, Dublin Cafle, June 11, 1798. AM concerned to acquaint your Grace that the Accounts received from Major-General Nugent this Morning are not fo favourable as from the Details which were Yesterday received I had Reason to hope. A Body of Rebels having affembled near Saintfield, they were attacked by a Detachment under Colonel Stapleton, who at firft suffered fome Lofs; but he afterwards put the Rebels to Flight. Being ordered to proceed to Newtown Ardes, Colonel Stapleton found the Rebels in Poffeffion of the Town, upon which General Nugent ordered him to retire until his Force could be augmented. There is no official Account as to the Body of Rebels which were to be attacked by Brigadier General Knox, at Toome Bridge. Private Accounts ftate that they have been difperfed.

Colonel Clavering has reported from Antrim to Major-General Nugent, that the Difaffected in the Neighbourhood of that Town had expreffed a Defire to fubmit, and to return to their Duty.

Other Advices ftate, that Lieutenant-Colonel Stewart, having marched from Blaris with a Part of the Argyll Fencibles, 30 Cavalry, and fome Yeomanry, arrived at Ballinahinch as the Rebels were beginning to collect. He relieved fome Yeomen who were in their Poffeffion, and the Rebels fled into Lord Moira's Wood, whither they were pursued, about 40 of them killed, and the Remainder dispersed. 3 By a Letter received this Morning from MajorGeneral Sir Charles Afgill, it appears, that he had attacked, |
