A LETTER Certifying the Prince of VVales His Arrival at Yarmouth with nineteen Saile of Ships and store of Men. SIR ACcording to my promise I shall as often as may be given you such intelligence as we have at the Leaguer This morning a Trumpeter went into the Town about the Exchange of Mr. Ashburnham for Sir William Massam the chiefe thing in difference about this Exchange is those in the towne would have the Lord Generall give Mr. Ashburnham a Passe to goe whither he pleaseth and they say they will give one to Sir WILLIAM MASSAM to go all England over We have cut off all their pipes for water by which meanes wee have not onely prevented them of good water but have furnished our selves with good store of lead they have very little water in the towne but what is muddy or annoyed with dead horses The Common Souldiers have now lived upon horse-flesh for the most part five daies together The other night they roasted a whole horse at one of their Courts of Guard the Foot are very merry at it but the Troopers are discontented for the losse of their horses not knowing how to get others nor well likeing the service of mowing with their new devised long sithes which weapons are put into the hands of such as were Troopers They turned forth to graze under the walls about 40. horse which our men fetched away they are altogether unserviceable for that they are almost starved The Lord Generall being desirous to gaine this place without shedding any more blood if it bee possible thought of a device to let the Souldiers in the towne to know what was thought hitherto to bee concealed from them viz. That if they would deliver up the Lord Goring the Lord Capell the Lord Loughborough and some other of the chiefe in the Towne the rest should have Quarter and Passes to go to their owne houses and Papers signifying thus much were sent into the Town upon the head of an Arrow of which we hear nothing yet To morrow we expect the other great peeces and the Ammunition from London to come up to us and then you will heare more if they yeeld nor before which can hardly be expected for that certaine intelligence is come that the Prince and the Duke of YORK are come to Yarmouth with nineteen saile of ships in which are thought to be about 2000. men some of them landing neer the towne were set upon by a few of our horse which were there and after a little fight with them we took seven prisoners the rest getting into the towne from whence a party of Townesmen issued out and rescued the prisoners from us and placed a Guard at the Turne-pike There is great division in the Towne some are for the Prince his landing there and others against it but we may guesse by this act of theirs in rescuing those prisoners which side it is that is most prevalent and what we may expect further from them the designe of the Prince his coming thither is undoubtedly for the reliefe of Colchster if possible for it is not above two dayes march from thence Colonell SCROOP with eight Troops of Horse and Dragoones is ordered by the Lord Generall to march from the Leaguer towards Yarmouth and attend the motion of the Prince if he land with any forces there with whom it is said a thousand of the Norfolk Foot will joyne and if need be we shall spare more Forces from hence and yet be able to make good the Leaguer Letters from Major Generall LAMBERT certifie that he is come to Bowes and Duke HAMILTON at Applebey they have had severall skirmishes in parties but not many men lost on either side Yorkeshire Horse and a thousand of Lievtenant-Generall CROMVVELLS Foot are by this time joyned with him and being thus united he will be in a very good posture to give the Scots and LANGDALES Forces a Field fight I pray let him heare from you by this Messenger that is From the Leaguer 25.
