A MESSAGE Sent from the Earl of DERBY Governour of the Isle of Man To His Dread Soveraign CHARLES the II King of Scotland And his Lordships Declaration to His Majesty concerning the Treaty and Major Generall IRETON WITH The discovery of a strange and dangerous design against the Parliament the Lord Lieut. Cromwell Major Gen. Ireton and his Resolution to sacrifice his life rather then to sell his loyalty ALSO The Proposals of the said Major Gen. Ireton to the Earl of Derby his Lordships Answer thereunto and a true account of the strange and incredible Relation of his seizing upon his person and sending him for a Present to the Prince Together with the last Intelligence from Dublin Printed at York by T. Broad and re-printed for W. R. 1649 A MESSAGE Sent from the Earl of DERBY Governour of the Isle of Man To his Dread Soveraign Charles the second King of Scotland concerning the Treaty between his Lordship and Commissary Gen Ireland Right Honoured THe Earl of Derby King in Man having entred into a Treaty with the Commissioners of Parliament touching the surrender thereof to their due obedience and authority Commissary Gen. Ireland propounded to his Lordship That it was the pleasure of the Parliament of England to receive him into favour and to mitigate the Fine of his Lordships estate by taking off the Sequestration thereof and to make his Composition for 15000. li. provided That he would surrender that Island with all the Forts armes ammunition and other warlike provisions thereunto belonging for the use and service of the State Common-wealth of England and after mature deliberation on the result therof his Lordship returned a very strange answer saying That he abhorred with his soul the rescenting or harbouring the least thought of persidiousnesse that he wold never be instrumentall in casting such an Odium upon the House of Derby as to betray the trust reposed in him by h● Soveraign and that he was resolved to sacrifice his life and all that was near and dear vnto him then to forfeit his Allegance and sell his Loyalty for 15000. l. These resolutions seem exceeding strange and opposite to such fair overtures and propositions insomuch that the transactions of the treaty are like to take little effect as may appear by his Lordships Letter to the declared King of Scotland wherein he remonstrates That he was resolved never to alienate or divert his loyal affections from his sacred Majesty but to improve all possible interests whatsoever for the propagating of the Work in hand and advancing so glorious a Cause tending to the honour of God the peace and prosperity of his Church and kingdoms and the liberty freedom and tranquility of all loyall Subjects throughout his Dominions and as for the present Treaty he was resolved to wave the same he having no other end nor intentions therein but onely a demur to the present advance of the English Army for Ireland in prosecution whereof he was resolved not to desist assuring his Majesty that for faciliating of the same no means should be left vnattempted by Your Majesties loyall faithfull and obedient Subject and Servant DERBY Yet notwithstanding the non-prevailing of the present overtures we doubt not but a good account will in process of time be given of the reducement of that Island and his Lordship be forced for the future to make a finall recantation for his former presumption and disobedience As for our intelligence from Ireland I shall refer you to the inclosed letters which came out this day in print viz. SIR SInce the taking of the three Impregnable and strong Garrisons of Tredagh Dundalk and Trim the enemy hath exceedingly streightned us have now gained more than ever they lost before having incamped themselves within half a mile of the City and many of their Out-works and trenches are lesse then musket shot of our walls The last night about 10 of the clock they allarm'd us our Governor and the Captains of the Guards were soon in a readinesse to receive them and gave them a great volley insomuch that we received some respite of ease till two in the morning at which time the Lord Inchiquin with a select party of horse and foot of his own Brigade gave us a visit and very desperately and resolutely fell upon our man in some in the Out-works who being overpowr'd were forced to quit the respective places and make their retreat to the next place of sanctuary but not without losse for by their sudden assault the poor Defendants sel● the terrour of their Bloud-thirsty Sword and about 30 sacrificed their lives in the place which action being with great vigour prosecuted Inchiquin returned to his Tents singing hallelujah for his tryumphant successe but we doubt not but to make our scores even before many dayes are expired The Enemy make their neer approaches to our Liue to threaten a storm but it s believed their repuls the other night at the storming of Patrick Fo●t will somewhat ret●rd that work for they were disorderly beaten off with the losse of about 50 men The Lord Inchiquin hath sent a peremptory Letter to our Governour intimating That he heard Crumwell was advancing into that Nation with an Army of English Rebels to relieve him but if he durst come thither he should be welcome and better entertained by his Lordship then he was ever either by England Wales or Scotland c. Our Governour returned a very modest and resolute answer That as he had vndertaken a Trust so he should be faithfull therein to the last moment whether any forces or none came for relief of him But the thing that our Souldiery are most doubtfull and dubious of is that they fear the enemy will not give them a field upon the additionall forces landing but that they wil rather betake themselves to the ●ogs and Woods And although we cannot but represent our selves in a very sad condition without timely relief yet we cannot but exceedingly rejoyce at the gallantry of faithfull Col. Jones our Governour under such a state in this his present condition Since the enemies receipt of the intelligence of the Lord Lieutenant Crumwels designment for this bleeding City they have somewhat awakened us with stronger allarms and as we hear have entred into Protestation to live and die stand and fall together and to fight it out to the last man and that upon receipt of the foresaid intelligence Ormond called a Councell of Officers at the head quarters neer Fingles the result was whether they should prepare for a storm before his Lordships landing or whether they should begirt the City streighten other Garisons take in what they could and then randezvouz and draw into a Body and give him battell at his landing Upon mature deliberation thereon it was unanimosly declared by most of that Popish and Prolaticall faction That if he set footing there they wold fight him in the mean time they would us● their utmost endeavours for the reducing of
