Salop 6 Septem. Many affirm, that the Scots have refused any further addresses to
their new King, and that the States of Holland have likewise upon the stop of Trade for
Wooll & Wine set forth an Act of State, co prohibit and stop it there. We had a party
of Col. Hunks Reg. marched through our Country towards Chester, whose carriage
was abusive to the Country. Intelligence being given by order form the Governour, a
party was sent forth of the Garrison, who convoyed them out of the Country, causing
them to observe the Ordinance of Parliament, and Order of the Lord Generall, in reference to march and quarter.
Bewmer is Sept. 7. We have here Intelligence from Ireland, That the Lord Governour
Cromwell, and Major Gen. Ir ton, marched out of Dublin neer 18000 Horse
and Foot, and its thought he is now before Tredah; from whence we hear some dispute
hath been between the Horse, and that upon the Lord Governours going to view the
Ground and Works, a sharp conflict hapned, the manner thus: The Governour Sir Arthur
Ashton, and the Lord Ards sentsorth 2 party of choise horse, and resolved Rid[unr],
who gave him a charge, his Lordship received it with great gallantry, causing his men to
fall in upon them, their first firing which accordingly they did, disputing the
action
by the point of the sword in so much, that their downright blows soon purchas'd both
room and liberty, forcing the Enemy to a disorderly retreat, killing about 20 upon the
place, took 7 prisoners and wholly dissipated the rest, with the loss of 3 men. Col. Cook
is lest Deputy Governour of Dublin. And all things go well there, praised be God.
Some give out, That the Lord Inchiquin with 800 hath lately fallen upon the quarters
of Gen Oneal, and that he hath put above 200 to the sword, and taken about 300
prisoners, with the losse of 15 men himself being only slightly wounded in the arm.
