Rebels defeated in Ireland as British forces seal Wexford
The Evening Mail reports a decisive victory over Irish rebels at Wexford with General Saxe in command. British troops and Yeomanry blockaded rebel escape, capturing leaders, while other dispatches note successes in Cork and Kilkenny. The prorogation of Parliament is postponed until Ireland’s revolt is crushed. A Wesmoreland packet mentions ships sailing to England and arrivals at St Vincent and Antigua. The dispatch praises the loyalty and vigor of Regulars, Yeomanry, and government measures, and notes French threat and naval blockades.
