JOYFULL NEWES For the Citisens of LONDON FROM The Princes Fleet at Sea Wherein is communicated the great Victory obtained the full particulars thereof the dispiersing of the Navy and forcing them in to severall Harbours c. SIR VPon a late dispute and engagement between the two Navyes at Sea great was the resolution and gallantry on both sides and for the space of many hours the Victory seemed doubtfull but in the heat of the Conflict Divine providence proved a Banner to the Parliaments party and Fortune so attended their severall motions in their heroick atchievements that they soon became Victors over their insulting Enemies and in a short space dispiersed that formidable Fleet who for many moneths have lain raging upon the Neptune Seas and forbed the two unfortunate Princes to take sanctuary in Harbours so that now the Citisens of London may receive comfort from the Ocean and the Marchants and others proceed unanimously in free Trade and Commerce without fear or molestation The faciliating whereof may cause thousands to rejoyce and sing hallelujah for the vanquishing of this potent Enemy it being affirmed that since our first engagement with them we have re taken above 30 ships and prizes 200 pieces of Ordrance and at least 400 prisoners We hear that Prince Charles upon the 15 instant with the Prince and Princesse royall about sixe of the clock in the morning went to Dort so far the Queen of Bohemia brought him on his way The 11th of June the Electoresse of Brandenburg went toward Cleave by Vionen Rhenea The 17th of June Prince Charles went from Breda toward Bruxels where an Earl hath order to receive his highness Therr is a Col. left in the Hague who is to buy arms for ten thousand men There passing a boat from England to Ostend with divers English they were set upon by some English who lie there and rove to get booty The Passengers were in great fear at which one of them stood up and said to the Pyrats I have lately broke out of New gate being a prisoner for King Charles and these are all my friends therefore do them no harm at which they cryed Vive la Roy and bid them passe there should none of them be toucht They tell us that come from Edenburgh that Scotland is quiet and that the Parl. hath no enemy in arms in any part of that Kingdom which is sufficiently confirmed by the souldiers beginning to be unruly and unseparable concomitant to idlenesse which hath been complained of by the Parl and Ministers which occasioned the Gen. Excellency the E. of Levin write to the Liev. Gen. that there might be a meeting of all the chief officers for redresse or all grievances and for ordering matters so that nothing might obstruct the work in hand the particular which fercht in this Gen was that there were English Cavaliers scattered up and downe in the army some whereof had entertainment others shelter which actions it were necessary to remove and retain only those who of them were honest Covenanters There is displeasure taken that letters between Newcastle and this place going for Scotland were intercepted and opened which is likely to procure the like and is already threatned displeasure is apt to catch Dr. Sibbald the Phisitian is discharged of his imprisonmen upon the Fine of 500. Scotch marks he saith let them take what they wil he wil not recant his paper and will rather choose to suffer the most ignominious death at the openest plece in Edenburgh The Gent. that brought the letter from Parl. of England of having neither countenance nor answer nor is like to have if the deportment be evidence of respect to this nation ther 's little if an answer should be returned as it 's unlikely or not like to be sodain it wil be sent in all probability by messengers of their own The Commis are at last returned from their declared King and landed at Kirkaldy the pure Royalists say that there is no agreement brought whether with joy or sorrow these expressions are made appear not the Sages and knowing Divines seem chearfull and expresse that Scotland hath cause to blesse God for the great condiscention or so much compliance in their King and this seems to be the more probable yer some begin to think it may now be in their power to act or speak at least in favor of their friends in England Berwick the 18 Iune 1649. SIR THE Lord Louthian and the rest of the Commissioners are returned from the young King with a message and answer to the Proposals and Desires of the Parliament wherein he declares That he is willing to give his Condescensions to those things which may stand with his honour and safety and the liberty and freedom of his people but doth wholly decline the taking of the Covenant or to grant to what they last delivered in saying That for the establishing of the Presbyterian Government the granting of a generall Act of Oblivion and the composing of all differences whatsoever vnhappily sown and sprun vp amongst his people he will give his Royall assent therevnto and therefore requires them to hearken to him and not to proceed no further in contest He being assured that he had friends enough amongst them that would joyn with him and endeavor the sacrificing of all that was neer and deer vnto them for his just restitution in restoring of him to his Throne and Dignity After which his Highnesse had a conference with the Lords of his privy Councel wherein he further remonstrated That he conceived it requisite to decline sending over any forces into Scotland vntill such time that the result of the Parliament was known touching his last Answer and Condescensions and not to hazard an engagement with the Parliament of England and the Army vnder the conduct of the Lord General Fairfax and Lieut. Gen. Crumwell till the next Spring At which Conference most of the Nobility seemed to rescent the same with great alacrity declaring That they did very well aprove of his Highnesses motion and that it would prove very prejudiciall to the advancement of his Cause if they should engage before he be both powerfull and potent But indeed there is little probability of faciliating that Design for we hear that their displaying of the Royal game at Sea hath quite broken the neck of their design at land that upon their losing of so many brave ships and prizes many hundreds ashore have wholly deserted and in stead of becoming masters at Sea and become the slaves thereof insomuch that the coast is cleer and commerce free for the Citisens of London which otherwise might have been obstructed Berwick 15. June 1649. Postscript Sir Since the receipt of the last message from the young King to the Parliament in answer to their former Proposals and Desires much time hath been spent in debate thereof and after some Result thereupon voted That the said Concessions are unsatisfactory and in paat very destructive and prejudiciall to the peace of that Kingdome The General Officers both of Horse and Foot and the major part of the Souldiery of the Scottish Army have declared That they will in no wayes comply with the Royal party for the establishing of Charles the second untill such time that he hath given full satisfaction to all interests whatsoever in reference to the safety and preservation of their just Rights and Liberties and to that end are resolved to keep a faire correspondency with the Parliament and Army of England for the prevention of future misery and suppressing of all insurrections Some of the Scots horse are advanced towards the borders of England for the inlargment of their quarters and easing the oppressed of that Nation Yours c There is news from Ulster of speciall note but the report goes severall ways which for more certanity a way is taking some say 20000 have met together and declared for Ormond others that they have reneued the Covenant and upon a Declaration shewing upon what terms they will joyn with Scotland or Ormond and have agreed that a letter be sent to their King telling him if he content not the Scots Kingdom he is likely to lose Ireland From the premises where no doubt there is a vein runs through those Island of the same metle wherein no doubt there is brimstone or Sulpher Plenty Sir Those who come accidentally out of Ireland for no letters are come from Dublin speak with confidence that Owen Roe Oneal is joyn'd wit some 500. Col. Monk had and they are come from Dun●alk toward Dublin to joyne with Col. Iones and jointly to take the field against Ormond who is still buried with taking little Garrisons wherein he is not long The inclination of the Souldiery being so great as to be courted out of them and perticlarly that of Donade not many miles from Dublin is delixered up by Major Smith as the reporter sayth Chester Iune 18. 1649.
