Barrels of Powder Mr. Darcy and Mr. Martin Lawyers were the greatest Actors in all this Treason The Fort of Galway is in great distresse for want of Munition and Armes The Justices have sent one of the Kings Ships that brought us Victuals and Ammunition to carry all necessaries unto them but God knoweth whether it will come to them in due time for they must have many severall winds We heare that a Ship is put into Limerick and brought 300 Barrels of Powder with store of other provision and one other small ship to Baltimore which this ship hath taken and lest it at Kinsale but the Birds were flowne and there landed 40.

SIR YOu may remember that on the 12. of Aprill the Earle of Ormond Sir Charles Coote and Sir Thomas Lucas went forth with 4. thousand Foot three hundred Horse to goe to relieve some Castles 40. or 50. Miles from Dublin and now it is fit I give you an account of what they have done and I doe not doubt but if Henry Rolles were torelate the businsse to the Lords in England they would give him a Pension First I must tell you our Army relieved Catherlew Mariborough and Goshell and brought the Ladies and Gentlewomen away then the Borr where Master VVilliam Parsons lives who hath defended the place very bravely to his eternall Fame From thence to Athy relieved that hanged the Portriffe at his owne doore and so in a manner we have done Mr. Grace the Portrive of Mariburow for he is brought to Dublin to be hanged here At Athy the Earle of Ormond had notice that the Lords of the Pale and some of Munster with the Lord Mongaret with about 12000. Horse and Foote intended to fight with him whereunto the Earle prepared to fight and they sent him word that they would fight with him to which his Lordship returned answer that they durst not Sir Charles Coote went up and downe whistling and Laughing making no great account of the Rebels cracks or brags but in earnest they appeared from behind a Hill and spread the hill all over with 6. great Bodies of men well armed and excellently well accommodated Our men charged the first with their shot the Earle of Ormond led the Vautguard of the horse Captaine Skout after our men had fought a good ●oure spying some advantage brake in upon a Body of their men whom they found more like a Devill then a man and tooke 2 Colours which was brought home with him in Pompe the Fight began much hotter but we had 6. Pieces of Ordnance which when they playd upon them the shot did so wonderfully affright them that they threw away their Armes and happie was he that could runne fastest our Horse followed and our Foote and by report there was of the Rebels slaine 1200. or more as some say we tooke 60. brave horse and many are runne into the Boggs that cannot be got forth the slaughtered Rebels lye so thicke in the field that our men could not passe by them one sayd they lay like a sheete upon the ground all stripped and our men by report have got 300. l. among the dead bodies our men have brought home all the Lord Mongarets provision hsi Waggon drawne with 8. Oxen three Barrells of Powder with Bullets and match and many good things 4. Colours 4. Heads but never a Calves head viz. Colonell Art Cavenaugh his head the Lord Mongarets Sonnes head Colonell Suttons and Colonell Birnes heads but not the great Colonell Birne The Earle of Ormonds Brother encountered the Earle and each discharged there Pistols but did no hurt but the Earle changed his horse and followed him but the Troope brought the Earle backe who otherwise might have bin intrapped God by praysed we have not lost an Officer nor 40. men This Battle was fought on this side Athy some 4. Miles at a Place called Balleshamgh many of our Colours are shot twice or thrice some Fiue times and as you have power perswade your Friends to send us some more money and Shooes without which the Soldiers cannot march or stand and with speed Sir Charles Coote doth intend to stay at the Naas so doth Serge●n● Major Panet with halfe the Army to doe some Service in those parts Our Army came backe to Dublin the 27. of Aprill 164● So I rest Your Servant P.
