SPECIALL NEWES FROM IRELAND Newly received in a Letter from a Gentleman of good worth in Dublin to a Friend in LONDON Shewing the present condition of that poore Kingdome and the manner of the late great Victory which God most miraculously hath given to the poore PROTESTANTS there LONDON Printed for Henry Overton 1643. The first of March SIR IN my last letter I wrote to you of a Commission that came hither and brought by one Thomas Bourke a Papist who was of the House of Commons here and one of those Committees sent over by the House of Commons here into England mine time of the Earl of Straffords triall the substance of which Commission for ought I can hear is no other then that I wrote you word of before to receive the Demands of the Rebels the Marquesse of Ormond the Earl of Clanrickard the Earl of Rascommen my Lord Moore Sir Thomas Lucas Sir Maurice Eustace the Kings Sarjeant and this Bourke being Commissioners though this be all in the Commission that I can learn yet the Papists do much rejoyce here and bragge that they shall have their wills and what they please so foolishly I hope are they abused by their Priests and others who tells them of wonders when I doubt not but it will be but ridiculus mus for sure His Majestie is sensible of the blood of his English Subjects so barbarously spent and spilt by those Rebels here which by a remonstration given in here unto the State is no lesse then an hundred fourtie foure thousand in the Province of Vlster onely which by the Rebels have beene hanged killed drowned stoned and now missing there And if so many in one of the foure Provinces what are there in the other three Provinces The place appointed by the Commissioners to receive what the Rebels offer is Troudaish the time I heare which is appointed is the 23. of this instant they are to come thither not above thirtie and of them none to be of their Clergie They have a safe conduct sent them unto Kilkenny and are to have a Convoy for to secure them in their passage if they doubt any thing What will be the issue of it time will shew but you must not look for such constant Intelligences as heretofore for 't is reported here that Captaine Bartlet who commanded the Pinnace and served the State upon these Coasts and to runne betweene Chester and Dublin have delivered his Ordnance out of his ship being sixteen in number to fortifie Westchester and have moored up his ship there as t is given out and for his excuse doth say he hath done it by the command of those who have power to do it For our estate here it is much after the old manner we cannot stirre out of Dublin but the poore English are swept up if they go not out strongly On Munday was a seven night at noon day an hundred and fourtie of the Calves which the poore English that dwelt in Dublin had were swept all away by the Rebels from the Greene of Dublin and Oxmanton Greene and carried cleane away without resistance which will adde to our scarcitie it being too much alreadie and which if we be not soone relieved I feare we must abandon this Kingdome for want of victuals and whither we poore few that are left should go to begge if England be not quiet we do not know onely our eyes wait upon that great providence which yet hath been wonderfull towards us in goodnesse On Friday was seventh night Sir Francis Willoughby went with 1500. Foot and three Troops of Horse to Mennooth where the Rebels were in great multitudes but upon his approach they fired the towne and some of them betook themselves to the Castle where they endured about ninetie great shot from our Ordnance and then in the night stole all away Such ill luck hath Sir Francis still that the Rebels slip away from him when he should come to execution and for the present there is a garrison of two hundred men put into it whether they shall continue there or how long we know not but the rest of the souldiers are come home I wrote to you also in my last of a Convoy of a thousand foot and about two hundred horse sent to Athlowe in Connaught from hence with Ammonition and provisions for reliefe of the Souldiers there amongst which were some clothes for the Souldiers what the state here could spare and that very hardly they went safely thither but in their coming back about two miles of this side of Mullingare in Westmeath at a place called Rawnnell their way was through a passe or cawsey over a bogge the bogge being on both sides the cawsey which the Rebels had purposely so cut and spoiled that neither horse nor foot could possibly passe over it and at the hither end towards Dublin the Rebels had made works and trenches to lie in to cut off our men in their returne In those trenches and that side they had as the certainest reports are of them that were there 2500. men and on a hill a little from the bogge a thousand men more and in another place 700. more and the countreys thereabout rising and making towards them their Generalissimo Preston had sent his eldest sonne who was a Collonel amongst them with many of his best men unto that place to their help Our men seeing the straight that they were in and having no other way to passe but that way through the bogge sent Serjeant Major Morris a young man who sometimes was the late Earl of Straffords Page with the forlorne Hope to try the bogge he commanded his man to lead his horse after him and finding that the bottome of the bogge was gravelly though they went up to the ankles and sometimes to the knees yet resolvedly he went on and got over and then called to our horse to follow which they did with what speed they could and so soon as some few of them were got over they were charged by one Captaine Bryan whom I formerly wrote to you ran away from us he being then Cornet to Sir Thomas Lucas and whose plot was to have carried with him two or thre troops of our horse they were received bravely by our men though but newly got out of the mire and though Bryan gave them three charges with great courage and fiercenesse yet his men could not endure the face of our horse but presently fled and ranne away When Bryan was slain and his head carried to Droggedah our foot likewise waded through the bogge with great courage and were no sooner got through but they charged the Rebels in their very trenches and with such furie and resolution that they came up to the very loopholes where they put out the nuzzels of their Muskets and so couragiously beat them out of their trenches and made them to betake them to their heels and they followed the chase about 6. miles How many of the Rebels were killed is
