DUBLIN the 24 of May 1642. A perfect Relation of the proceedings of the English Army against the Rebels in Ireland From MAY 12. to the 23. 1642. THis day we had Intelligence That the Scots bent themselves to releeve Colraine besieged by the Rebels and that Sir Phelim O Neal had burnt the Church of Armagh and all the Town to the ground Charlemount and Castle Slaney used in the like sort himself and the wicked crew flying to the woods and bogs for fear of the English and Scots Northern forces From Trym we heard That Colonell Gibson who now commands Sir Simon Harcourts Regiment issued out and did cut off about 200 Rebels chased the rest into a bog about four miles distant from Trym from whence they went to the Navan which they burnt for fear and fled further Northward We received Intelligence from the Naas That the Rebels had raised many Alarums and fired some houses by stealth but were still beaten and forced to flye every day for six dayes together more or lesse of the Rebels were killed by our men by the conduct of Captain Rotchford and without any considerable losse on our side Sir Charls Coot was buried with much lamentation to all Protestants and as much joy to the Papists as was well observed by many whose countenance betrayed their falshood the same day Captain Sterling a Scot being left in Garrison at Kilshoughine being invited to a protected Papists house to dinner was betrayed to the Rebels where he and his Lieutenant with a Minister were killed The next day Colonell Crafford went out to bring off his body and killed about 100 men women and children giving no quarter no not to such as were protected upon which day every Pulpit at Dublin was filled with Funerall Sermons and tears for Sir Charls Coots death whose losse we already too timely feel A small party of horse went out to plunder two of which were cut off by the Rebells the rest came back and got some booty about 12 of the clock that night there was an Alarum upon the North-side of the Citie over the River which was done by some of the Rebells horsemen which charged our Centinels who were quickly beaten off again by our foot without any losse of either side some few Cows and Carrons they got away with them The next day Captain Armstrong with a troop of horse was sent out to finde the last nights troublers but the Rogues were fled to the Monntaines with the pray A Convoy came from the Naas which brought home some wagons and left them all well and quiet there but brought Captain Rotchford sick to Dublin Word was brought that most part of the County of Fermanaugh is burnt by the Rebels so that now both parties have nothing but destruction and ruine amongst them It is reported that the Lord Mountgarret hath besieged Carlow Castle with 3000 men in which place are a great number of distrested English and if taken will doubtlesse be put to the sword which is much feared it cannot hold out long News was brought hither from the County of Cavan that Sir Francis Hamilton and Sir James Cragge who did good service in all this War had notice that a great many of the Sept of the Mac-Dorings were assembled together about seven miles distant from them made what strength they could and went thither and surprised them all which were put to the sword to the number of about 30 of the chief of that Sept returned the next morning with whole heads of Cattle to their own Castles The same day Colonell Gibson brought two notable prisoners from Trym to Dublin the father and the son one Wisby a man of 1800 l. per annum many and almost continuall are the Alarums about Trym but the Rebels do alwayes run for it Want of pay breeds much discontent amongst the Souldiers there being due to them above 100000 l. besides what the City of Dublin is taxed at The same day Colonell Monk was sent out with a considerable number to New-Castle six miles from Dublin where the State had notice of some Rogues but before he came the birds were flown onely some 18 or 20 men besides women and children were found who dyed the common death of Rebels and the next day returned with 200 head of Cattle and good booty to Dublin A crew of desperate rogues at 7 in the morning came and tooke about 60 Cows within half a mile of Dublin another Party took 20 horses in the other side of the Town the same day the Rebells attempted to stop the water which came to Dubline Mills but were beaten off and cleered again One of his Majesties ships took a French barque laden with Arms and Ammunity going into Limerick for the Rebels There came advise that the Earl of Saint Albans had relieved the Fort of Galloway and had blockt up the Town so that we doubt not but he will quickly master it Sir Henry Titchbourn and Sir Thomas Lucas was elected of the Privy Counsell that night my Lord Parsons his stable was burnt in the middle of the Citie and in the morning we had an Alarum upon the North-side of the Citie such strange boldnesse they have since his death who was their terrour some Cattell they drove away in the view of the Town Advise from the Naas that the Garrison there had gotten many Cows and Sheep from the Rebels which they gained out of the woods and bogs and much pillage but were like to mutiny about it by reason the Captain would have all to himselfe London Printed for Ralph Rounthwait 1642.
