A Letter from Dublin.
COl. Jones hath so bravely deported himself, (with Valour, Wisdom, and Honour)
that he hath not only marched out alone 10 miles, and faced the enemy with scarce
half their number, but hath by safe retreat hither, so streitned them in their March, that
they have been in much want of provisions, and there hath been some skir mishes between
them; but in all, Col Jones hath come off most honourably, Ormond is now about a mils
from this City, intending to make approaches, and (as is said) to storme, Col. Jones and
his Officers and Souldiers are resolved, and say they will stand out to the uttermost; but
if relief be speeded hither, the work of setling Ireland will be short, had [unr] Lieut. Gen.
Cromwell, and his Army here.
