SIR WE have proceeded so farre in the Leaguer at Beeston for the taking of the Castle as we could and have st●ll kept in the Enemy on this side Chester that they have not offended us their sallies out have turned to their prejudice The Lord Byron hath been lately out on the Welch side and we have longed for Sir William Brewertons comming down to command in chief which would by this time have been an occasion of doubling of our forces But however we seeing that it could not be at present and being unwilling to lose what advantage we could gaine have attempted a great designe such an one as you will wonder at knowing the smallnesse of strength Yet to God be the praise we are able to give a very good accompt of it hitherto and so I hope we shall for the future SIR Not to trouble you with a tedious discourse of the businesse time being pretious with me the businesse was thus On Friday last September 19. 1645. We called a Councell of War●e in the Leaguer before Beeston Castle to consult about the marching to Chester to storm that Garison and and concluded that it should be done forthwith So we stole away from the Leaguer that night the Enemy within the Castle knowing nothing at all of the businesse and drew off about 1300. horse and foot from the Siege Collonel Jones commanded the horse and Adjutant Generall Louthany the foot and the next morning before the Enemie were awake we came upon them having marched all that night through the Moores passing over the River at Hupley and so on by the way of Wareton nor so much as staying at Christleton to refresh our selves lest by our stay we should lose the opportunitie or be discovered We marched that night about eight miles and passed before break of day between Christleton and Huntington and so on to Boughton all which we carried on so private that the Enemy had not so much as an alarme in the City We came before the City on the North east side thereof where we made no stop but presently fell to storming and by break of day were got upon their Works and many of us got over in severall places before they heard any thing of us we took all their workes betweene Cowland and Boughton quite to the walles of the City the enemy still flying before us we pursued them to the inner works which they shut up against us but we forced open the gates at the barres and still followed them driving them into the East gate which we had prevented them of had we not been stopped by the fastning of the gate which they did to gain opportunity to flye into the city we lost in all this not above 2. men killed many wounded the enemy carried away their dead all but one body many of note on their side are wounded and we believe many slain two of their great Workes we have taken and all that side of the Suburbs and doubt not but in short time to give a good accompt of the whole Town The Enemie within we hear are about 1000. many Malignants are in the Town we hope we shall be able to go on if the Kings whole strength come not against us and we have no relief to oppose them or relieve us Money our souldiers want much yet will not our Commanders in chief suffer any of them to plunder the Inhabitants of any thing nor to drive away their Cattle One part of the Enemie fled into S. Warburge Minster some at the East Gate and some at Newgate we have gained all between the Rack and the Gate going to S. Warburge for the Northgate we doubt not but we shall soon determine that and are sending in a summons for the surrender of the Citie and Castle which we hope to give a good accompt of We have taken the Barres and the inner Workes there and the Majors House where we took his Sword and his Mace Your humble servant For-gate street in Chester Sept. 19. 1645.
