MAjor Generall Jones our Governour of this City of Dublin; and Commander, in chiefe of all the Forces of this province of Lemster (to keepe the Souldiers in action, and destroy the Rebels quarters, and force them at a distance) designed a considerable strength to march into the County of Wick­low.

[Page 2] The Rebels hearing of their designe, marched out of their quarters from severall places, and (upon their neare approach) fled before them: The very noyse of our men strickes such a terrour into the hearts of the Rebels, that they know not what to doe be­ing extreamly fearefull of being forced to an­other engagement.

So that our men have had very good suc­cesse in Wicklow, from whence they have brought very good prey of which I have sent you a list (inclosed herein) of the particu­lars, by which you may see what a mighty booty God hath put into our hands.

And if the Lord be pleased to settle you at peace at home, and reduce all the differen­ces in England to an happy union, I doubt not but things will go well here, And our valiant Commander in cheife hath a designe by which he hopes to bring the Rogues low before Winter.

Ordinary wheat is now (at Drogheda) at tenne shillings a Barrell, and dearer at Dublin.

But such care hath beene taken for provi­sions here; that Dublin have got in all their [Page 3]Harvest; and that without danger, or interruption.

The old Fox, Owen Ro-Oneale keepeth close with his Forces about Kilkenny, he is there at one House mending his Workes, and taking in provisions, and will not fight but upon his owne conditions, if he could get a great advantage perhaps hee would make use of it, but before we come neare him he Alarmes his Forces to a withdrawing posture.

And the Irish have no other considerable strength to depend upon.

So that moneys comming first over to en­courage our Souldiers, and then supplys of men and Equipage we have great hopes of a good forwardnesse in reducing th [...]se par [...]s in short time. So prayes,

THE Lord Inchequin, Lord president for this province of Munster was lately moved by his Officers about a Remonstrance which was occasioned by their hearing of some differences in England, betweene the City of London and the Army under his Ex­cellency Sir Thomas-Fairfax and the distracti­ons which they heard the Parliament to be in thereby, which his Lordship was much sorrowfull to heare.

[Page 5] But afterwards hearing that these differ­ences were well appeased, and the Parliament sitting safe, the prosecution of the said Re­monstrance was appeased, and his Lordship did pretty well satisfie his Officers therein.

Yet they have againe importuned his Lordship about moneys, being very earnest about their Arreers, and pressing him to send over for monies to be speedily sent them.

A party of the Rebels his Lordship heard were gathering to try if they could raise the Seige, but having notice of it he sent out a commanded party who fell upon the Rebels and defeated them, A list of the particulars whereof I have sent you inclosed, resting.
