Monmouth passed the bridge without opposition, and drew up his forces opposite to the enemy.

His cannon alone put them to rout.
About seven hundred fell in the pursuit; for, properly speaking, there was no action.

Twelve hundred were taken prisoners; and were treated by Monmouth with a humanity which they had never experienced in their own countrymen.

Such of them as would promise to live peaceably were dismissed.

About three hundred, who were so obstinate as to refuse this easy condition, were shipped for Barbadoes; but unfortunately perished in the voyage.
