The Victorious proceedings of the Protestants in IRELAND from the beginning of March to this present being the 22. of the same month With a Letter sent from Master Brian Smith Minister in his Majesties Ship called the Banaventure riding before Kingsa●le which was read in the Honourable House of Commons on Monday the 21. of March 1642. Declaring how the Lord President of Munster Sir William St. Leger gave Battell to the Rebels neere Durgarven kil'd 2000 men tooke some of their Commanders prisoners and slew ten with his owne hands Printed at London for Iohn Wright in the Old-baily 1642. The victorious proceedings of the Protestants in Irelaud from the begining of Maech to this present being the 22 of the same moneth ON the 27 of February came all our boates and ships safely into Dublin Harbour that had beene relieving Tredah and thus they declare their voyage that the two first dayes they spent in firing some small towns by the shor●-side about the 19 and 20 day came fo●th before the mouth of Tredath Harbour our vessels being all that caryed provision and more to defend them the enemy had chained up the H●rbour with a most strong chaine which our men knowing the wind and tide being faire on the 20 day man'd out a shalop with instruments to breake the chaine and the ships to follow in but the labour of the breaking the chaine God had prevented and by that wind and tide that camed our men safely in as could be thouht the same wind and tide brake the chaine before our ships even as the shalop come the enemy notwithstanding with three or more peeces and many other men shot at our ships with all spit but our men got well with the losse onely of some five or six men but many of the enemy lost but to the great comfort of the City w●o had beene in great distresse and not so much when o●r provision come as before in that the Noble Governour Sir Alen Tichborne had being in distresse gone out againe the enemy and taken many Cowes and sheep from them and lost but few of his men a great terrour is he to the enemy as Sir Charles Coot is here that th●ir very names makes the enemy shake and many times have they run at their names themselves being not neere But our ships have unladen their provision and comming ●o Dubli● the enemy laboured all could be to spoile our m●n and ships by them s●elets at land and a ship of theirs for that purpose at Sea but our men burnt their ship and to●ke tooke two peeces a brasse and iron one from them and are the day above named come home to us having victualled Tredath for six moneths but are going againe we have some men come from England but no money insomuch that our City is unreasonable burdened to the utter undoing of most part of the City for few houses have lesse then 11 12 some 30 Souldiers in them and they to pay them money weekely and some not able to find their owne families with bread but all complaint gives them no relent which makes great misery for the present and will be more in that all their goods being taken out of these poore peoples houses by the Souldiers they being not able to give them mony and sold by these Souldiers at not the seven part what they are wo●th so that little they have is consumed these people left to beggery and heare nothing but sad complaints and this is more on the Protestants then Papists the Protestants being more poore what the cause of these things are God knows ●ut sure none knowes the misery of warre but those that see it and sure none will desire it if cary●d as here But for Tredath Sir Henry Tichburne hath turned all or most of the Papists out of the City there for as in Dublin the enemy is sometimes ●ay alwayes in some six miles of us some times more nearer ou● men have not gone out since the last I writ to you but I thinke will as this night goe out to a place where the enemy is very strong God keep them I thinke we are ind●fferent without danger of their taking us by forces but fraud which is very much but ●amine and sickenesse are like to be our greatest enemies in the City publikely is much threatning they send to us indeed the Rebels increase still daily that not any place in Ireland but all are out in great bodies especially in Munster which was last out they are now most strong the heads of them being Lord Musey and Lord Roch they have among them our Generals Countesse prisoner and all his children which is much griefe to him so brave a man We have report that Sir Philimon O Neale was so vexed that he could not so presently take Tredath that for spite hee went home and killed all his prisoners being not lesse then 4000 but we hope this is not yet true but certaine w● are that the Lord Cranfield that was prisoner to him he hath caused to be slaine basely on a sudden Here is like to be much misery befall in this Kingdome before this warre is at an end some powder is thought is come out of Spain● to the Reb●ls else could they have not so much as they have more then at trust Since the third of March some shipping hath gone out from us and hath relieved a place called Wicklow Castle be●ieged by the Rebels and is go●e to relieve another place called Duncannon for our men i● Dublin wee have had no great businesse hapned onely yesterday part of our men went out for the field 3000 foot and 500 horse and intend to stay out some time wee have not heard any thing f●om them I beleeve they have an intent to burne most part of the Countrey within 20 miles of Dublin on the West and North side wee have intelligence that those Rebels increase still so that nothing can be expected but a tedious warre we have intelligence that Galloway is revolted but there is a Fort possessed by some of ours that can command the Towne but this Port is neare Spaine as neare as Dublin England and reliefe may be feared to come from Spaine that way as some have thought but small corne by Wexford But we have newes that some of your ships are come to our coastes to keepe the Seas which will be well if so for much need is ofit wee have intelligence but something doubtfu●l it is that with some 150● of the English landed in Munster the Noble President of Munster being before distressed by the Re●els but joyning with these 1500 from England went against the Rebels being a great multitude l●d by thd Lord Mountgarr●t our men pursued the Rebels killed no lesse then 2000 of them but little losse on our side and some thinke the Lord Montgarret himselfe is killed but this is something doubtfully reported but most say its tru● that are of account but sure Iam that all is
