Imprimatur Gilb. Mabbott LONDON Printed for R. W. MDCXLVIII Letters from IRELAND Scotland and the North relating the true Affaires from all the said places SIR I Suppose you are not ignorant of the sad condition we are in by meanes of the Traitrous proceedings of the Lord Inchiquin against the Parliament and Kingdome in that he hath betraied the trust reposed in him and declared that he will not acknowledge the Parliament of England to be a Parliament neither will he submit to any Order or Ordinances of Parliament but on the contrary if occasion serve oppose them he hath also by his Agents endeavoured to perswade the Protestant forces in other parts of this Kingdome to desert the Parliaments and Protestants cause and joyn with him under a pretence of no body knowes what but himselfe it is greatly feared he will joyn with the Rebels but as yet he keeps those forces which adhere unto him in a body by themselves without admitting any Irish to march under his command yet there is a Cessation of War concluded between them and the Lord Inchiquin and by the correspondency which is held between them wee may assuredly gather that when need requires they will use their endeavours to assist each other Inchiquin hath gathered his forces into a body and is marching into a body and is marching towards Dublin as it is thought with an intent to besiege the City and if it be possible by force or policy to get it into his possession and this supposition is not without some ground for those of Inchiquins party give out that all those that wil not joyne with him were best to pack away for England and if any oppose him they shal receive such a reward as shall prove a terrour to others if hee should ever have a strength to set down before the City it is much doubted that some of the souldiers wil be too forward to run unto him but for the generality they declare themselves very averse to his proceedings and do declare that with the utmost ability expence of their bloud and lives they wil use their endeavours to oppose him and bring him to his deserved punnishment and if they know any of their fellow Souldiers or officers that shall adhere unto him or but seeme to favour or give any liking to his undertakings they will upon the first knowledge thereof lay hands on them and bring them forth unto exclaimation or commit them to custody where they may remain untill such time as they may have convenient triall concerning the Premises such a hatred have the well affected to the cause against his proceedings This is the condition that at the present this City is in you see we are in a very sad condition and likely to bee made a prey unto those more then barbarous bloud-thirsty inhumane Rebels who have as it were with devouring jaws long gaped to devour us and which by meanes of our own divisions and distractions they wil undoubtedly bring to passe if the English parliament do not take us into their serious considerations and speedily contrive some way to relieve us and prevent the inevitable ruine which now thretens us and wil speedily take us if not prevented by their wisdomes whom next under God have preserved us hitherto and for whom we are ever bound to pray Dublin 12. April 1648. Declaratory Letters from the Kingdom of Scotland SIR IT is concluded in Scotland that an army shal be sent into England and although many wil not be perswaded to believe it yet it may be easily gathered that such a thing is intended and wil speedily be effected if not prevented for the Scots army draws Southward and many of them are ordered to be quartered neer the Borders the Lord Belcarouse Troop have taken up their quarters within five miles of Berwick having order so to doe Many other Troopes have quarters assigned them in the South of Scotland and especialy in the Townes and Villages nrer adjoyning to England also from other parts of Scotland we perceive the Scots Forces to creep Southward but they are wary and do it by little and little the better to avoid suspition but if their intents are as is suspected England may chance to frustrate their designs and the Scots after all their jugling be deceived of their expectations Sir Arthur Haslorig keepes a vigilant eye over the Malignants of Newcastle and is very carefull as becomes a Governour of a place of that strength to see and provide all things fit for the safety and fortification and defence of the Town and Castle and will quickly be able to defend it against any force or combination whatsoever yet in these parts the Malignants that a long time have been glad to keep silence begin to talk high againe as if they were possest with some great hope and had great expectations of a third to accomplish their design and some ill affected Stewards have been so bold as in open court publickly to declare charge their Iuries to present all such persons in their Jurisdictions as have taken up Armes against the King and to fine and punish them and Sir Richaad Graham at Cumberland at a Court gave charge to all his Tenants that they should be ready when he should have occation to call them and the Cavaliers are fo●bold as to incourage the peopl saying fight for King Charles and if you will you shall speedily be imployed The Parliament of Scotland have given answer to the English Commissioners papers but it is said to be very unsatisfactory and that they refer the substance of all to their own Commissioners who are comming into England of whom the Lord Lee is one to treat with the Parliament and have Propositions and instructions given them to treat about setling Religion according to the Covenant for the King his removall to one of his house and a personall treaty with him as also for disbanding the Army and other Propositions that I have not as yet the certainty of the difference between the Clergy and state is as great as ever they will by no meanes consent to the raising of men listing in divers parts of this Kingdome 't is supposed 't will be speedily effected and because many of the Commanders of the standing Forces of this Kingdome do not concur with them in this design those Forces are to be disbanded and the Earl of Calender is to be General of their new Modell insomuch that the Cavees and English Fugitives grow very high treating ruine and destruction to the Parliament and their Adherents But indeed some dayes there are great hopes of an agreement and other days the distance is so farre as scarce any man shal know how neer they are to have an Army many English men are at Edenburgh and they doe dayly increase Another great ship came to Leeth Rode on Fryday night last what she is is not yet known but a flying Report of the Prince being in her but no certainty Some Irish Rebels are come into some of the Scots Islands and the Maro of Argyles Regiment are directed with some others to march towards them This is all I earnestly request a correspondency weekly and where I shal direct my Le●er unto you that I may take the occasion to subscribe my self Your oblieged servant R.
