Aug. 1649. SIR BY an Expresse yesterday from the Lord Governor Cromwell we hear that he is got safely into the Harbour at Dublin and hath landed two or three Regiments of the foot the horse being also craning out of the ships as fast as possible they can it s said that his Lordship at his landing were entertained with a great volley from the great Guns in the City And a little before his presence Col. Jones sent forth a party of horse and foot to take in Droghedah who upon summoning thereof the Lord Moor returned a very peremptory answer and disputed the place with great resolutenesse and gallantry insomuch that many many of them were slain upon the place but at last the conflict grew so hot and sharp that the enemy began to article and at last obtained conditions to march away with sword and pistoll upon the surrender of the town with all the Ordnance Arms and Ammunition This action cost us not very dear our losse being esteemed about 70 whereof 30 slain the rest wounded of the enemies about 200. We hear that the Lord Inchiquin hath randezvou'd in Muster about 4000 horse and foot who sending a Letter to Gen. Oneal to know whether he would covenant for the declared King of Scotland c. received answer that he would not engage against the Parl. of England whereupon he advanced with his horse and foot fell upon them in their quarters dissipated part of the foot killed many and took divers prisoners forcing the rest to the Bogs and Woods in which conflict they give out that above 1000 fell under the power of their sword During which action Sir Charles Coot lay not idle in London-Derry but opportunely fore-seeing his advantage sallyed out and fell upon Sir Charles Stuarts quarters killed many took divers prisoners and raised the siege with the losse of 40 men The newes is confirmed from Dublin Ormond hath paid dear for his bowzing Taff Preston and he being met together thought they could destroy the Parl power by drinking healths to their destruction when it s in so many words a Bull whereas Lieu. Gen. Jones came soberly upon them and made them run several ways It 's said that in their hast they fell upon Ballyshanon have taken it and are rallyed being about twelve thousand within twelve miles of Dublin and fallen to their old way of disputing passes which when lost they run to the next they increase by the coming of forces to them and say if they recover not their reputation before Michaelmas they shal not keep Ireland from a totall reducement within a year Bristol 18. Aug. 1649. By Letters from the Hague thus since the late blow given to Ormond by Lieut. Gen. Jones we hear that they are re-bodying about Kilkeny and Munster and that in the said Engagement thirteen thousand of the Princes forces escaped who are gathering together and randezvouzing in severall places but the raising of the siege and defeating that potent power is joyfully rescented by many It is likewise reported that the Princes retinue lately sat in Councell whose result was That new propositions should be sent to the Parl. of Scotland viz. 1 That his declared Majesty would wive his assent for the setling of Religion according to the solemn League and Covenans 2 That he would wholly apply his Ear to the Councell and Advice of the Estates conveened provided that respect might be had to the tender Consciences of those who have adhered to or assisted him But this will hardly be for he must either become a perfect Covenanter or else a despised Prince Many of the Royall party have caused proclamation to be made for Charles the II for the raising of Voluntiers but few appears in that engagement Hague 9. Augusti 1649. From whence other Letters make mention That the Prince by advice of his Councell hath sent a Message to the Marquesse of Ormond and the Lord Inchiquin desiring them to compose all dis●erences to knit their hearts in brotherly love and affection and unanimously to unite in all their counsels and consultations for the propagation and advancement of their present Design and Engargement There is some rumour of an inclosed Letter directed to the Lord Lieutenant Cromwell from Prince Charles the contents whereof are said to be for a speedy composure and reconciliation of all difference and for the setling of peace both in Church and State c.
