Good and True Newes from JRELAND.

Worthy Mrs. Neuce,

ACcording to promise, I do here present these lines; and in them my true love to your sweet self, whom I wish all happines to. Your Son, Daughter, and Grandchild are well, and Mr. Hewet is in this Town at this time. For newes here is so much I know not how to relate it. We are well here yet (thanks be to God) though daily threatned: and our Souldiers have done many exploits against the Rebels.

They have taken by force, Downdanel which was before you went, and Montane Castle, which they burnt, and killed ma­ny men. The next was Cargenas, where Kingsale Troope and Bandon met with Ordnance, and shot a whole day, and made many small breaches, but to little pur­pose; there were two men killed, but none of the Souldiers: They came home that night and lef [...] a Guard of Souldiers to prevent the men from scaping away.

The next day they met againe and shot till noone, and they no [...] yeelding, our Souldiers fired the Castle, and leaving a Guard the second night, they came home; and going the third day there was a great cry of men, women, and children from the top of the Castle, for mercy; our Souldiers gave them the best assistance they could to help them downe, but they were so scorched with the fire, that they hanged and stifled one another, before they could be helpt.

The next day they marched untill they came to Pollalong, where after a while [Page]they had plyed them with shot, they yeelded on quarter to Captaine Aderly, upon condition to be guarded to Kilcre, where Captain Copar guarded them.

There was M. Roch and his Wife of Kin­sale and his sonnes and daughters, and many other Gentlemen and Gentlewo­men. They of the Castle told Captaine Copar, that the pillage was worth twelve thousad pouds.

Afterwards our Souldiers went to Kil­lady Bog, wher the Rebels had built Ca­bins, and stood upon their guard, they were a hundred and well armed, but there was small fighting before the Rebels ran away, our men killed between 30. or 40. and one was their Captaine, whose horse they brought to Towne with a great Sad­dle, with 4. more.

There was a great fight neer Cork with my Lord Presidents Forces against my L. Muskrey, where they killed about 100. men and Captain Suggan on our side lost none but one horse killed with a shot.

Afterwards the L. Jnchiquin was set on by the [Page]Lord Roches and Caudens ablest Forces, hard by the Lord Roches Castle, called Castletown: but it pleased God to bring the Lord Inchiquin off, and his company without any losse, onely one Horse; but there were slain of the Lord Roches men about an hundred and forty, the rest they forced into the Castle, burnt the outward gate, recovered two Drums, two Cullars, and some fiftie Muskets. And afterwards, the Lord Jnchiquin and Master Jepson burnt and wasted all the Lord Roches, and Caudens Country.

Mr. Savage reported, that whilest he lay for his passage, our Forces have taken in Kill-Britain, and chased the Rebels from thence, having slain many of them; insomuch that we may now travaile to Corke or Kinsale unmolested, and not once see a Rebell.

We hope in the Lord, that (through the undanted courage and resolutions of our Souldiers, who in the midst of dan­ger seem not in the least dismaid) this Country wil be soon setled in a quiet and [Page]peaceable and quiet estate. Limmerick men have built two Block-houses upon the Ri­ver, and placed Ordance in each, the one at Cortebarck on Munster side, the other on Thomond side, and chained up the River between, as it is credibly reported: there is Captain Coles ship and one more now in the River, but the newes is they cannot relieve the City.

Dominick Coppinger, and the Sub-Sheriff Terry, are upon their trials for a conspi­racie discovered, and tis thought the Pre­sident will or hath put them to death.

Thus at present I have not else to trou­ble you with, but commit you to the pro­tection of Almighty God, wishing you all happinesse in this world, and eternall selfcitie hereafter. This shall be the con­tinuall prayer of

Your assured loving friend to command, ELIZ. WARNER.
