Corke in Ireland, which should have beene betrayed into his hand by
the mid'st of this moneth for 6000.l. but being discovered by a Gentleman
(whose mother now leveth at Youghall) formerly driven from
his habitation in England, and his Wife and Children turn'd out of
doores by one Worley; the same is prevented and the Gent. that did the
good office bountifully Rewarded, and provided for by his Majesty.
Wee should not have instanced this, but to let the World see how
manfully they fight with their cursed Baggs; and indeede John Lilburne
has very well observed, that it was never knowne that Cromwell would
fight otherwise, till hee found all hopes of this manner of encountring
faile him; for hee accounts it the most commendable in that it saveth
much blood which might other wise bee spilt. However wee have no
certaine information that as yet hee is Imbarqued, unlesse it bee from
Miford to Holy. head, or some other Haven, to appease the Mutiny of
the Souldiers, who for the most part refuse to goe with him, not with-standing
all the great Victory they tell of.
For how big [unr]ver it was, this wee are certaine of, that Dublin was
Besieged the sixth of this instant, and so continues, the Lord of Ardes,
Clanrickard, and Inchequeene being all come up and joyned with the
Marquesse, who hath since made some of the horse examplary who discerted
the f[unr]ot at Bagotsrath; nor is there any credit to be given to those
Letters printed in their lying Licensed sheetes who report that Jones
went out from Dublin to Drobedagh the fourth instant, which (as they
report) hee Summoned and hath [unr] taken; when never helesse every
man knowes that his Letter from Dublin to the Regicides (which certifies
his great Victory of the second) beares date the sixth of August, which is two
daies after; a thing very improbable, that he should with an Army of Horse and Foote
martch 52. miles (for so much it is backward and forwards betwixt Dublin and Drohedagh)
in two daies, and take in the Garrison; knowing likewise (by [unr] owne account)
that there was at the least 13000 in the Field of the Marquesses, whom he had
reason to believe so enraged, that they would not loose any of [unr] unity to gaine advantage
against him. But as this cannot bee credited by any nationall men, so I
doubt, not but this some of them will [unr] or let fall within two or three dates; for
by that time, I presume, wee shall have such tidings thence, as shall make them as
shamed, both at these Reports, and the day set apart so solemnly to [unr] God on.
His majesty is still at St. Jermanes, but intends to remove speedily, whither as yet not
known. The Lord Hatton is sent Ambassador into Denmarke, and some other several
waie. O Niale is for certain submitted, and the remaining Forces he had, joyned with
the Lord Inchiquine, so that now they have nothing to but intend the motion of
King oliver A King or no King, common wealth, or none.
