upon the Articles between Col. Monk and Owen Roe, which was a nulling those Articles
being made to be left to the appobation, or non approbation of the Parliament.
I[unr] is said by some that come out of Ireland, that Owen Roe would be content, and
desi es to be gone with his Forces to Flanders.
An act for setling 5000 l. per annum, on the Lord Eairfax, Lord Gneerall for
his faithfull services, so constantly and unweariedly continued, was this day read
and recommitted.
A Declaration was ordered against the Marq. of Ormond Lord of Ards Lord Inchiqueene
&c, to declare them Traytors.
The house of Commons this day adjourned untill Tuesday following.
Saturday August 25.
SIR,
From Milford came thus, viz.
THe present affords but little for matter of News, onley, that upon the 13. of
this instant, the Lord Leiutenant Crumwell Major Generall Ireton went both a
board the John, and after some disputation touching their present designe departed
each from the other deviding the Navy for the better performance of so great and
good a worke.
Sir, Vpon the 14. the Lord Leiutenant went with about 40 sale towards Dublin,
where he is at present safely landed. And Major Gen. Jreton with the rest towards
Munster, where he is also arrived in safety.
We are likewise certefied, that most of the mony went aboard the Charles, and
the Guns were for certain heard to go off at Hollihed, for joy of their meeting together.
The fighting the Lord of Ardes by Owen Roe, is very credibly reported by
divers that came from thence.
And it was reported for certain that the L. of Ards with his 7000. Scots are totally
routed, which will produce much encouragement to the Parliaments friends, and
discouragement to the Royall party.
And it is certaine that Owen Roe, was very usefull in raysing the siege before Derry.
And as we hear, Ormond and his men still continue very weak of their old Physick
received at their late quarters near Dublin.
From Derry Letters came this day, which say that Sir Charles Coote doth go on
very prosperously, and that he doth not in any wife neglect the least opportunity,
but diligently applies himself to the furtherance of the present happy successe (that
it hath pleased God lately to cast into his hands) by so small a party, so that it is
generally beleived, that in a short time he will give a good account of all the enemies
Garisons near Derry.
And also, that some of Derry forces have besieged the strong Castle of Rohee,
which Sir Charles doth not question (but by the helping hand of God) speedily to
give a sufficient account thereof
From Scotland is advertized, That since the two late Letters sent to their King,
the one from the Parliament, the other from the Generall Assembly of the Kirk, all
things be in quietnes, Trading dead, no News stiring, but dayly expecting an answer
to their last Letters; in which, if he do not confide, it is confidently believed,
they will send to him no more.
FINIS.
