A True and Brief RELATION OF THE Lord Lisles Departure from his Command in IRELAND As it was VVrit from a Gentleman of Worth from Corke in MVNSTER LONDON Printed in the Year 1647. A True and Brief RELATION Of the Lord Lisle's departure from his Command in Ireland c. SIR SInce my last the face of things is much changed here and the not continuing of the Lord Lieutenants power at least that we know of is undoubtedly the sole cause of it For no sooner was it noised abroad that his Lordship would be going for England when his Commission determined but great disputes did arise about the Command of the Army The Generall Officers pretended a right unto it in the absence of a Generall to which purpose some of them in Petition presented to the Councell-board desired their power might be confirmed unto them before his Lordships departure to avoid all future contestations to the prejudice of the service on the other side the Lord Inchequin resolved as much to stand upon his pretentions which appeared by what he said to an Officer here as I am credibly informed That if the Lord Lieutenant should leave the Lieut. General of the Horse behinde him in Command he had a Friend who would accuse the said Lieut. Generall of Treason but that was not at all regarded This contestation seem'd so high and of so great concernment that the Councell-board took it presently into debate and having received the Lord Inchequins Reasons for the right he claimed to Command in Chief as also the Reasons of the General Officers they resolv'd to settle the command of the Army in 4. Commissioners viz. the L Inchequin and the L. Broghill the two Principall Officers of the Army of Munster and Mr. Sidney and Sr. Hararess VValler the one Lieutenant General of the horse and the other Serjeant-Major-Generall of the Army of the whole Kingdome which were only to continue till the Parliament should declare their pleasure therein and the Counsell-board was the rather inclined to this resolution because upon conference with the Atturney Generall of the Kingdome about this particular it seemed cleare unto them that the Lord Inchequins power being granted but during the pleasure of the Parliament did cease when the Lord Lieutenants began and could not be reassumed but by a new grant from the Parliament Yet so desireous they were to give the Lord Inchequin all satisfaction herein that they offered to leave any person of the afore-named Commissioners out of the Commission whom his Lordship should except against so he would joyn with them in this order but his Lordships answer was That his concurrence herein would prejudice his right yet if the Board should think fit to make any such Order that he would give all ready obedience unto it Whereupon the Board made an Order for setling the Command of the Army in the four Commissioners formerly named till the Parliament should dispose otherways of it and gave one part of that Order to the Lord Inchequin and the other part to the three other Commissioners of the Armie But so far was his Lordship then from yielding obedience unto it that he protested against it as soon as the Lord-Lieutenants Commissioners determined and likewise offered to return to the Lord Lisle the order which his Lordship refused to receive being then as he told him a private person and having already done whilst he was in power all he could to settle quietness in the Armie till the Parliament was made acquainted with it And then the Lord Lislle resolved to go towards the Sea which being known then of the Commissioners for the Lord Inchequin did absolutely refuse to joyn with them gave order only to his Lordships own Regiment to be in Arms and to attend his Lordship out of town a custome usuall to such persons of his quality but as soon as the Lord Inchequin had notice hereof he presently published a Proclamation by sound of Drum forbidding them to do it upon pain of death yet did that Regiment in obedience to their former Orders stand in Armes all that day but least some mischiefe might arise from hence both the Lord Lisle and the Counsell resolved to stay one day longer at Cork to reconcile those great divisions in the Army which happily they put an end unto notwithstanding the Lord Inchequin had called severall Officers from the out-Quarters and got some hundreds of Souldiers and Reformadoes that had been Cavaliers into his House as it is Confidently believed here having likewise ordered one of his own Troops to come into the Town but the other Commissioners kept that out and instead thereof brought in some of the Lord Broghils Troops by which means they had the absolute command of the Town and were fully resolved to maintain their right as I have heard and to proceed to act according to their Commission had not the Board perswaded them to suspend the execution of their power and to go for England where they might make known to the Parliament the Lord Inchequins carriage by which I believe it will appear that no consideration of any hazard that might happen to the publike could draw his Lordship from his own particular interest The full power of all is now in his Lordships hands and all things in great quietness here yet can I not express the apprehensions we have upon the Lord Lieutenants removall from us and indeed when I consider that most of the Councell and chief Officers do go over with him and more will follow what disaffection there is to the Lord Inchequin in those that remaine especially the Forces lately sent over and how vast an expence the Kingdome of England must be at before new Governours and Forces can be sent into this besides the difficulty of raising money for them I cannot almost but dispair of any service this Summer the loss of which season must doubtless prove dangerous if not destructive unto us God turn all to the best which shall be the daily prayer of SIR One or two things I had almost forgot which is that when the Lord Lisles Trunks and houshold furniture were shipped the Lord Inchequin gave order to have them searched which I believe hath not been known in the like case The other is concerning the getting of Cnocknone which my Lord Lisle by treaty obtained and which is of great advantage to the Parliament whereas it s said others might have had it if they had pleased it was not sure well done they took not possession Those who come along with the Lord Lisle are the Lord Broghill the Lieutenant Generall of the Horse the Commissary Generall of the Horse the Privy Counsellours viz. the Lord of Valentia Sir Adam Loftus and Sir Iohn Temple who are all that were there but the Lord Inchequin Col. Gray Sir Arthur Loftus Colonel Major Piltson Major of the City of Cork Capt. Iames Parsons Capt. William Merydith and divers others FINIS
