JOYFULL NEVVES FROM THE Prince of Wales AND A GREAT FIGHT BETWEEN His Highnesses Forces and the Parliaments since the late Overthrow Captai● Batters joyning with his Highnesse with 5000. men c. SIR MY kind love presented to you c. I would not have you think that I any way neglected the performance of what promised but the truth is I had the last week writ to you but could not tell how to send it which I was very sory for The newes now is the Ships or divers of them have attempted to fetch water by their Boates in the Isle of Thanet but as yet could not and have been beaten back again upon which they have threatned to shoute down Marget we understand that Captain Batten is come with 6. Sayle of Ships from Holland and that there cannot be lesse then 5000. men abord the ships The last Thursday morning the enemy sallied out of Sandown Castle upon our Guard who not being many retreated some sm●ll matter from the house where they kept Guard so that the enemy possessed themselves of the house a while and after fired it after this our forces being very inconsiderable drew up and charged them but the dispute held not long the enemy ran away and made what hast they could into the Castle which our horse there then upon the Guard seeing pursued them and wounded most of them have taken and killed above 20. with the losse of one Trooper and one Foote as also 6. or 7. wounded which we hope will do well they have been verie quiet ever since for ought we see it is certainly known by a Drummer that came out of the Castle that day that the man that fired the house then and he that fired the new house of Sir Math Mennis a fortnight since were both killed this time and it is further reported by a woman that was in a house near the place where they fought that some of the enemy as they ran away said one to another who would have thought the rogues would have fought so after which skirmish the Ships landed about 300. men and with them 3. Colours who kept a while by the Sea side and after took their Boats and went aboard again The last Saturday there came about 20. out of the Castle but when there was a party dr●wn to fight they retreated and ran all into the Castle this day being Monday we had intelligence by two men that came out of the Ships last night there was near 600. landed most Seamen and did intend to fall on the leagure about 12. a Clock which they did accordingly but came short off there was near 700. of the enemy engaged and came to Deale Towns end and had a hot dispute near 400. slain wounded and taken prisoners whereof Sir John Boys is one who is shot as most of them are I do believe that you will hear more fully suddainly from Col. Rich. Sandwich Aug. 19. 1648. I remain yours to use P. N. Upon Friday morning last being the 18. of this instant about 5. a Clock in the morning the enemy made another sally which allarmed our men their number consisted of 400. 200. being Seamen who had 4. Colours which they brought from aboard the Princes Ship with this Motto For Religion King and Kingdom and making their approach near our Guards our Musketiers fired they answered them ag●in but the enemy coming on so fast and such fury our men were forced to quit two Guards the Princes forces set fire on them and pursued our men whereupon the horse having received this Allarm immediately mounted and advanced towards the said forces the enemies foot attended their motion and prepared to receive them who upon the end of each Pike had a Ball of Wild-fire fastned thereunto each Pikeman having his match lighted ready to fire and upon the advance of our hors to charge them they displayed their Balls of Wild-fire which much amazed our men insomuch that they were put to a very disorderly retreat the enemy pursuing not our horse rallied but before they could gain their lost ground to make good their Charge they were retreated into the Castle they pursued within a quarter of a mile of the Castle In this action we lost 9. men some wounded the Enemies number is not known We have lately received advertisements from the Downs that a great accident hath befallen his Highnesse the P. of Wales by Gunpowder and endangered the losse of both his eyes but praised be God there is great hopes of his recovery SJR MY kind love salute you c. I have received your letter for the which I give you many thanks Sir Michael Liuesey thanks you for your care in the delivery of his letters Now for Intelligence I wish I had more to furnish you with then now I have but I desire you to take notice that here hath been a wicked D●sign and Pl●t discovered of some that should have betrayed this Town t● the enemy viz. That they should rise one night about ●● of the Clock whether the time be past or yet to come it is not known but I hope they are dismissed of their intentions with Shovells Spades Mattocks Felling-Axes Spits Pitchforks and such other hellish Instruments to have cut off some of the Guards and to have let an enemy in and for to have seized on the Town for the King as said all which one William Clark a Mason of this Town related to one who he supposed to be his Friend by whose meanes it came to light and Clark is imprisoned about it I doubt not but God in his due time will bring it further to light and frustrate the intentions plottings of such as would destry his people The reason I have not other newes to furnish you with is for that Sir Michael Liuesey hath been from Sandwich from Monday to Saturday last week The Revolted Ships are yet in the Downs and stay all Vessells that come near The Castles hold out still but it s confidently reported Deale Castle will be suddainly surrendred for it is said there are many sick in it and the Granadoes make work amongst them the surrendring of which as also of the other is much wished Sandwich the 19. of Aug. 1648.
