ANOTHER EXTRACT of more LETTERS sent out of IRELAND Informing the condition of the Kingdome as it now stands SIR SIthence my last to you that is to say the 23. of June the Marquesse went to meete the Rebels at Castle-marten neare Killcullen Bridge where for the Rebels there met for the Province of Leinster the Lord Viscount Gormonston and Sir Robert Talbot for the Province of Munster the Lord Viscount Muskerry and John Welsh the Lawyer for the Province of Connaught Sir Lucas Dillon and Ieffery Browne the Lawyer for the Province of Vlster Tirlogh ô Neale Sir Philem ô Neales Brother and Ever M. Gennys of Killwarlin There went with the Marquesse the Earle of Roscommon the Lord Moore Sir Francis Willoughby Sir Thomas Lucas Sir Iames Ware Serjeant Eustace Colonell Muncke Colonell Gibson and many others Our Commissioners and others were in severall Chambers and as I heare Treated by writing onely sometimes Messengers went betweene them The Lord Taaffe was at that place and very busie they continued there till the first of Iuly and appointed the 18. of Iuly to meete againe but being better advized upon the unreasonablenesse of the Rebels demands they met no more but brake off the Treaty as 't is reported and are now preparing with all speed to take the Field In my last Letters that miscarried at Sea I wrote you word of a great overthrow given by Sir Robert Stewart Sir William Stewart and Sir William Coles Forces against Owen Roe ô Neale the Rebels Generall of Vlster where after a long fight they beate them and killed 1000. of them as is reported tooke a very great prey of Cattell above 6000. Cowes as it is said many prisoners of note taken and Owen Roe ô Neale escaped very narrowly so-that in Vlster appeares no Army of the Rebels and those Irish which are left there are eating up of one another through famine About a weeke before the Treaty for a Cessation here was a report that Preston the Rebels Generall with some Souldiers was come into Meath about Tecrohan and those parts but with how many and for what cause we had not so good intelligence as to know yet Colonell Muncke then ready to goe for England was intreated by the State to goe out towards him with a party of men who yeelded to it he should have had 1500 Foote at the first and 3 or 400 Horse but they were so scattered here and there up and downe in the Countrey that he had but 1200 Foote and about 150 Horses he relieved Castle Iordan and some other parts thereabouts and comming homeward by Clancarry about 15 miles from Dublin Preston meets him with about 6000 Foote and 600 Horse some that were present there and had seene all the Armies on both sides since the Rebellion first began doe affirme that this of Prestons was the greatest both sides did strive for a straight passage which Muncke was of necessity to goe over for which they disputed the matter a good while but Colonell Munck gained it then they encountred and fought a good while till Preston and his Army very stoutly ranne away having lost about 150 of his men killed in the place as 't was reported to me and tooke many of their Armes and some Colours and of our side not one man killed onely one man shot but not dead thus God yet preserves us miraculously and why we should distrust him who deales thus for us I know not It is thought by some that Preston had a designe upon Dublin comming so neare it with such an Army and having no Enemy or other place to looke for thereabouts Dublin July 5 1643. Written againe from thence by the same hand being a man of credit and worth in the City of Dublin I Wrote in my last how Colonell Muncke had beaten Preston but not being able to pursue him he having so small a party and wanting meanes he marched into the Counties of Wickloe and Wexford and as he returned burnt most of the Towne of Arckloe but the Castle there was too well fortified for him to deale with he returned home to Dublin the last Munday and brought with him about 500 Cowes which he gave amongst the Souldiers In the meane time Preston tooke in Crohan and Edenderry in the Kings County and is now marching againe towards Castle Iordan to besiege it Though Captaine Bartlet came to us the last weeke with that provision which the Parliament sent us yet our Commanders say they cannot stirre without 5 or 6000lb. to provide for their traine of Artillery for Carriages for Shooes for the Souldiers and such like necessaries which money when and how it will be gotten here none knowes the Protestants especially are so drained that they have little or nothing left and the Papists will lend nothing The Rebels agree well together so doe not we and if we spend time about private differences one with another and seeking to charge and undermine our selves what must become of the publike It is still confirmed that there are no Rebels to be seene in Vlster and that the Irish that are there are so miserable that they eate their children and one another a just judgement of God upon them for their cruelties Owen Roe ô Neale their Generall in that Province with all his men are said to be gone into Connaught and that the Scottish Army is gone after him but I heare of no message sent by them to our State here of it so that what they will doe we know not onely of this I am sure if things were now well followed by them as they might be and that we had but some money for the Officers Victuall and Ammunition and that well ordered and governed as it should be we might by Gods help breake the heart of this Warre in a very short time Bartlet came in a blessed time for in that time upon a strickt search in Dublin there was but 400 Barrels of Corne found in the whole City for all the Army and Inhabitants here multitudes of the poore English come still from Vlster and other parts as they get from the Rebels which fills us with famine Dublin 12 July 1643. From the same hand THat provision of Victuals brought by Bartlet was a meanes of keeping us from a desolation which then was falling upon us but that is almost spent and we shall suddenly fall into the same case againe if we be not supplied and if we shall be supplied in time with necessaries there is no doubt but by Gods blessing we may have a quick end of the Warre for the maine of it for Vlster is already upon the matter conquered and no Rebels in a body to be now seene there The Pale is so wasted that scarce a Cow Garron or Man is to be seene in many miles together and the eares of the Corne which is now growing in many of these parts is so generally cut off now before it is ripe by the hunger-starved Rebels that very
