Excerpt from Narratives Illustrative of the Contests in Ireland in 1641 and 1690 From the 13th Of March to the 15th of June, when the narrative closes, the elated garrison Of Ballyally seem to have acted on the offensive, and that they should have done so under excited feelings, and considering the clumsy manner in which they were assailed, is not to be won dered at. At the distance only Of two hundred years from the detail of miserable warfare here exhibited as having taken place within the United Kingdom, it is difficult to conceive in what quarter of the globe more barbarous military proceedings could occur.
