Exceeding Joyfull Newes from Worster SInce Prince Robert had those most happy Defeats given to him at Worster and Ludlow wherein the malignant party for a season something weakned he hath since marched and lay with his forces within two miles of Burmegum with a Resolution to make a second attempt upon the City of Coventry And upon Tuesday last he advanced his Forces and upon Friday notwithstanding the violence of the weather his Forces l●y before the City but according to the old Proverbe He that is fore-warned is fore-armed The Citisens of Corentry having intelligence of his determination did so strengthen and prepared themselves for 〈◊〉 comming that his attempts will be frustrated For besides other provision which was abundant and strong they had planted 26 pieces of Ordnance with which they could play upon his forces which way soever he should assault them Upon Satterday according to his Resolution he made an attempt upon the City but he found opposition to be beyond expectation and all his Assaults and Onsets were in vain and he not only was repulsed from his purpose but with a great losse and much hurt done to his forces he was constrained to retreat For the Citisens of Coventry besides the help and assistance of the Inhabitants round about them were assisted with other power and Forces For Collonell Hambden and Collonell Goodwyn and some other Troopes which lay near Banbury side came in and so violently set upon the Cavaleirs that with a great losse they gave of their attempt their were very many of them slain some taken prisoners The Number of them that were slain is not certainly known for they buried them in the place where they fell and among many others one Captain Johnson was taken prisoner a man very active in the pr●motion of this their cause The said Captain is now in the Goal at Coventry and with the rest that were taken prisoners with him will be sent up to London so soon as those places are secured from the Cavaleers The Earl of Derby hath lately made a second assault upon Manchester but with as much discredit and as small successe as his first was For he was beaten back with great losse and hazard of himselfe and although he escaped with life yet that was also in great hazard for he was shot in the shoulder from the Town and with much difficulty he got away while the Earl did busie himself in those tumultuous ways abroad he little dreamed how his owne estate lay at stake at home neither did hee conceive the least fuspition of any forrein enemy but delighting himself with the publique distractions he neglected his own estate For while he did molest the Countries of Chester and Lancaster the Earl of Argile a man full of conscience and valour wit● ten thousand men did besiege the I le o● Man which is the Inheritance belonging to the Earls of Derby and the siege was neither tedious nor dangerous For he got the Iland almost without any opposition and hath there placed in divers places very strong Garrisons He hath expelled the Country of all those whose integrity he doth suspect and whom he doth not find to be for the King and Parliament He hath enriched himself with great store of treasure and other necessary provision for War which the Earls Father and he that now is Earl had laid up there this Earl intending that if his purposes should not take effect that then he would fly into the Iland and with that provision that he had sent thither and was there treasured up and with the assistance of the Inhabitants of the Iland of whose faith and constancie he seemed to be confident to defend and secure himself from any power that should pursue him and that he was resolved there to stand upon his guard But this his design is frustrate for he is not like to regain it again by reason that the Earl of Argile hath placed such strong Forces there There were lately in Holland by meanes of the Queen 4. great Vessels provided rig'd and laden with great store of Ammunition and Arms. But the States according to their formerly promised fidelity did make stay of the shipping and all the rest of the provision and caused the ships to be unladen and have also taken such order that if any Commanders whatsoever who are imployed in the service of the States under the Command of the Prince of Orange shall at any time come away and leave their present service to assist the King against his Parliament that they shall for ever be casheerd of their places and be made uncapable hereafter of the same office and place again And they did also by a Message sent to the House intimate their good affection which they bear to the Parliament and although there hath bin very many plots and designs both there and also in divers other places set on foot to promote the cause of the disturbers of the peace and quiet df this Kingdome yet that they hither have and hereafter will be vigilant to prevent all such attempts whatsoever and that they will not admit as neer as possibly they can that any plot or conspiracie whatsoever shall take effect in those Countryes that might any wayes seeme prejudiciall to the present Proceedings of the Parliament of England FINIS
