Arthur Anslo Esquire Sonne and Heire to the right honourable Francis Lord Mountnorris Viscount Valentia and Collonel William Beal of the City of London being Commissioners for the Parliament in Ulster sent out a Party resolute and gallantly armed consisting of seven hundred Horse and Dragoones of the Brittish Army under the command of Collonel Edward Conoway Son to the Lord Vicount Conoway accompanied with Lieutenant Colonell Oconally and other Officers who marched out on Tuesday the seven and twentieth of October 1646. from Lisuegarner with intention to divert the Rebels from Dublin and to spoyl Owen Macharts Quarters while hee was attending that City they continued abroad almost fourteen dayes burning and spoyling the Counties of Cavon Monakan Louth and Westmeath with so good successe that the Corne they burned could not be valued at lesse then fifty thousand pounds and many Townes and Villages were burned that had not tasted of this Rebellion Severall Magazines of provisions for Owen Macharts Army was surprised and burnt by them and at length they returned with a prey of twelve hundred Cowes four hundred horse one thousand sheep and as much of other plunder as they could carry and were forced to leave much behind them of all sorts for want of drivers for the Cattell and Carriage horses to bring away their spoyle being fain to give some of the Rebels their lives to assist them to bring away what they did They had the better opportunity to do this good service by reason that Owen Machart had perswaded the Inhabitants that they had made a Cessation with the Parliaments Forces in Vlster which the cillie people were so confident of that when they perceived their approach in a hostile manner they betook themselves to their hills and bogs and there rayled as treacherous breakers of the Cessation till our men satisfied them of their delusion Owen-Machart prevailed so farre upon this deceitfull assurance of a Cessation that almost all the fighting men were marched with him to Dublin so that our forces could have no great slaughter of them killing onely about forty men Amongst other places Carick Mac-Roso was burned and the Rebels strong Workes there quitted As also severall other places very defensible which our Forces being onely horse were not in condition to garrison but they demolished their Workes and quite disabled the Enemy of bearing any armes There was one Scottish woman returned with our men who had continued with the Rebels from the begining and could not have opportunity to come from them Thus it hath pleased the great God of Heaven so to blesse and prosper the endeavours and undertakings of the Worthies of England the High and Honourable Court of Parliament that by their vigilant care and unwearied pains in seeking the preseruation of that poor distressed and bleeding Kingdome of Ireland by taking care and sending over some eminent and faithfull Patriots of their Country who by the assistance of the Almighty have beene Instruments of clearing severall Counties in that Kingdome and taken in many of the Rebels strong Garrisons and Holds so that for a great distance the Rebels have but very little shelter These Worthies having spent these foureteen months as Commissioners in ordering the Armies in Ireland are returned safe to London on Tuesday the three and twentieth of November 1646. with this glad newes and assuring the Parliament that there was no great doubt of Dublin they being in a good condition to resist the enemy their workes being finished and expecting dayly forces from England and the enemy Owen Machant and Generall Preston being not very unanimous in their designes It is said that the Lord Digby endeavouring to revenge himselfe of the Rebels by dividing the old English and Irish was hunted after by the Popes Nuntio who vowed his death whereupon disguising himselfe he was forced to lurke from place to place and unlesse he had escaped safe to the Earle of Clenrickard it is not knowne what is become of him Sir Charles Coote the Lord president of Conath is returned out of Vister to Conath with his Horse and will speedily fall upon the Rebels in wonted manner but is so scanted of provisions for his men that without speedy and plentifull reliefe there will be suddenly an end both of his Service and Army Thus having acquainted you with the remarkablest passages that hath happened these many weekes I humbly take my leave and remain Your ever true and faithfull friend E. G. But to proceed a little further and to give you a hint of the victorious and gallant atchievements of the ever renowned and undanted Generall the Lord Inchiquin which for your better satisfaction I shall here insert as followeth By letters from Corke in Ireland it is also certified that the Lord Inchiqueene hath lately mustered his forces both horse and foote which doth consist of 5000. in number most of them being old Souldiers and gallantly armed are now marched towards the Rebels quarters and Garisons they march in two severall bodies but at no great distance and coming neere to one of the Rebels Garisons a place of great strength the Generall gave command that a party of horse and foote should be drawn forth to advance nearer to that Garison for the sudden surprisall of the enemy if any were in the adjacent Townes Whereupon they advanced and drawing neere to the place met with some opposition of the Rebels where they began a hot encounter but being overpowred by the Rebels the Protestants were forced to retreat the Rebels pursuing them but immediately the whole body came on and fell violently upon the enemy killing a great number and put the rest to flight and pursued them to their Garison where the Rebels had much Corne and provision together with great store of Ammunition and within few houres they fired all their Corne and Ammunition with Granadoes doing great execution upon the Rebels within the Castle Whereupon Generall Preston and Oneale presently called a Councel of warre and there concluded that all the forces both horse and foote that were at the Siege of Dublin should presently be commanded to draw off and to reside and keepe their head quarters within 18. miles of the said City where as yet they remaine FINIS
