<HEAD>The manner how eighteen French men who were bound for <HI>Ireland,</HI> wee brought to Newgate, 7 March 1641.</HEAD>
<P>_TWas the Prophets expre&s;&s;ion to no le&s;&s;e then a King, obedience is better then &s;acrifice; but rebellion is as the &s;inne of Witchcraft. A crime mo&s;t hatefull to God and odious to man bringing &s;wift de&s;truction if not timely prevented, as upon particular pre&s;ons, &s;o more generally upon whole kingdomes: it being that cur&s;ed root, from whence proceedeth many hundred branches of impious and confu&s;ed actions, rapes, murder, famine, fire and &s;word, with infinite the like bloudy and cruell ma&s;&s;acres, doe ordinarily attend this hell hatcht fury; wherein the inno|cent &s;uffer as well as the guilty, good and bad, one among another till at la&s;t the hand of Iu&s;tice continually pur&s;uing, ith end over|takes, and in a moment, confounds the wretched actors thereof in &s;udden and &s;hamefull ruine.</P>
<P>This truth needes but little Illu&s;tration, the di&s;tre&s;&s;ed condi|tion of our neighbour nation of <HI>Ireland</HI> at this pre&s;ent, occa&s;io|ned by the unnaturall rebellion of her owne ill-bred &s;onnes, too well approves it, where &s;uch in humaine cruelties, and unheard of tortures, are dayly practi&s;ed by the barbarous enemy, that the ve|ry relation thereof, would melt a heart of flint to heare it,</P>
<P>But now ble&s;&s;ed be God, &s;uch hath the painful indeavours, and prudent care of our mo&s;t gracious King, and his wi&s;e Parliament been, for the helpe and a&s;&s;i&s;tance of tho&s;e our oppre&s;&s;ed brethren, that by their charitable benevolenee, and friendly aid, the prote|&s;tants are much &s;trengthned, and the rebels di&s;couraged, great hopes being left of a quicke and finall conque&s;t over tho&s;e ty|rannicall and mercile&s;&s;e traitors.</P>
<PB REF="3">
<P> Our royall King hath long &s;ince proclaimed them &s;uch, let none therefore pre&s;ume to &s;uccour or relieve &s;uch a viprous gene|neration, that gnaw and feed upon the bowels of their owne deare mother, le&s;t vengeance reward their ungodly de&s;ignes, and &s;weepe away both authors and abettors at an in&s;tant.</P>
<P>The cau&s;e of this my writing proceedes from a late pa&s;&s;age, now fre&s;h in memory and the onely talke of the Citty, I meane the 18 French men, who by an order from the Parliament were apprehended neere Plimouth, and from thence brought to New|gate, upon a &s;u&s;pition, that they had an intention to tran&s;port victuals and munition to the rebels in Ireland.</P>

<P>The Ship lies at Salt-come in <HI>Devon&s;hire,</HI> and was bound for Corke.</P>
<P>The&s;e men being &s;hipt in a &s;mall ve&s;&s;ell, which as they &s;ay was onely laden with marchandize in France, and bound for Corke, though tis &s;uppo&s;ed twill be &s;ound otherwi&s;e, were by contrary windes driven upon the coa&s;ts of England, at a place called Salt|come in Devon&s;h. where not without good cau&s;e they were &s;taid by the Governour of the Towne, and notice given to the Parlia|ment, thereof, who pre&s;ently &s;ent downe an order to &s;tay their &s;hip and bring them to London, which was accordingly done in this manner. The &s;heri&s;&s;e of every county with the con&s;tables, were commanded to conduct them from place to place, till at li&s;t they came to Brainford, where they lodgd on Sunday night, March 6. The next day the &s;heri&s;es of London went downe to
<PB REF="3">Brainford and from thence brought them to Newgate the &s;ame day at night, a Con&s;tables riding one each &s;ide all the way and the pri&s;oners in the middle.</P>
<P>If they be guilty I make no que&s;tion but the Parliament will quickly &s;ift it out, and inflict &s;uch puni&s;hment upon them as the hamou&s;ne&s;&s;e of their offence de&s;erves.</P>

<HEAD>The la&s;t Newes from Ireland, 7 <HI>March,</HI> 1641.</HEAD>
<P>The 10. of <HI>February</HI> our men went to <HI>Artain,</HI> again&s;t a ca&s;tle &s;o called, which had before done &s;ome mi&s;|chiefe, to &s;ome of our men, the enemy being in it, But the enemy fled before our &s;econd comming, and left the Ca&s;tle, and a garri&s;on was left in it by us.</P>
<P>Upon the 11th. wee had newes, that the enemy was intrenching at a place called <HI>Soughing</HI> Towne, &s;ome 6. Miles &s;outh of our City, and &s;ome 2000 Foot, and 200. Hor&s;e went out again&s;t them; The Lord <HI>Lambart</HI> commanding in chiefe; A &s;mall battell they had, but the Enemy &s;tood not, on the Enemies &s;ide &s;ome 70 or more was killed, and but one hurt on our &s;ide, and &s;o came home that night, and brought home one of the Rebells Captaines and two more of the enemies Cap|taines &s;laine, many Letters of trea&s;on were found a|bout him that was taken.</P>
<P>On the 13. a man was brought to our City being taken by &s;ome of our &s;cattering men &s;couting about our City, who confe&s;t without con&s;traint, that he had killed an <HI>Engli&s;h woman</HI> at a place called <HI>Le&s;lipe&s;ous,</HI> 6. Miles We&s;t of our City, and wa&s;hed his hands in her bloud, being &s;et on by the popi&s;h Prie&s;ts &s;o to doe, hee was pre&s;ently hanged, but dyed with much repen|tance and a prote&s;tant, which few do.</P>
<PB REF="4">
<P> Upon the 19. and 20. Arrived heere from you 2000 Foot and 300 hor&s;e but little or no money, which made us poore of the City fare harder then before; which was to hard.</P>
<P>Upon the 21. Wee had knowledge that our Ships &s;ent with vittaile to relieve <HI>Tredath</HI> had got &s;afely in, and in &s;pight of the enemy, who had chayned up the harbour, but our men brake the Chaine, and got in, notwith&s;tanding. And publike thankes was with us for that happine&s;&s;e, for in &s;uch a great &s;trait was that City, as to eat Hor&s;e fle&s;h, as letters from my friends from the City to mee te&s;tified; Al&s;o Captaine <HI>Bartlet</HI> who was the Sea Captaine, in his comming home met with &s;ome fore &s;mall Boats or Barkes of the <HI>Wexford</HI> men, going toward the enemy in the North to carry Lenten provi&s;ion, but hee &s;poyled their de&s;igne in &s;inking mo&s;t or all of them, About the &s;ame time we had al&s;o Letters out of <HI>Mun&s;ter,</HI> that all that part of the Countrey was ro&s;e in Rebellion being carried out by the Lord <HI>Mu&s;cry,</HI> and Lore <HI>Roch,</HI> who had profe&s;|&s;ed much fidellity, and many deceitfull promi&s;es had pa&s;t to the pre&s;ident of that Province, till they &s;aw their owne advantage, And it is reported they are net le&s;&s;e then 20000 &s;trong, be&s;t appointed of all the Rebels, for indeed this Lord <HI>Mu&s;croy</HI> is the mo&s;t mo|nied man, of all the <HI>Iri&s;h</HI> Lords, So that now not one place in <HI>Ireland,</HI> but is in Rebellion, for the Lord of <HI>Clanrickard,</HI> &s;tands as &s;ome thinke Neuter, does no|thing at all, or cannot do any thing, or will not, But wee heare that our Pre&s;ident of <HI>Mun&s;ter</HI> was forced to betake him&s;elfe to the &s;trong hold of <HI>Corke,</HI> and the Lord of <HI>Corke</HI> betooke him&s;elfe to <HI>Toyhall,</HI> which are
<PB REF="4">reported both to be be&s;iged by the enemy.</P>
<P>Upon the 23. of this moneth, newes was that at a place neere <HI>Fele&s;ton</HI> &s;ix miles from us, a great multi|tude of the enemies had &s;trongly fortifide them&s;elves, and it is well fortifide by nature, having al&s;o a &s;trong Ca&s;tle in it; Some 3000 of our men went again&s;t it, hor&s;e and &s;oote, Our Lord generall the Earle of <HI>Or|mond</HI> him&s;elfe went, as did Sir <HI>Charles Coot,</HI> Sir <HI>Symond Harcourt,</HI> and many more, <HI>Iohn Moore</HI> being one of the Soldiers, and upon the forelorne hope. had both his left and right hand man killed, he told me that our generall him&s;elfe, led up the forlorne hope, with ma|ny words of Comfort to them, able to make any man fight of &s;ee &s;uch a man as he goe in &s;uch danger: For the enemy had a great wood to &s;helter them be&s;ide tren|ches, but our men after 2 houres Battell, beat them from their Trench, and from the wood, killing &s;ome 80 of them, For all that advantage but 7 of our men was killed, but that we lo&s;t one Captaine <HI>Rochford,</HI> a man of &s;uch note, that never more was any man be|wayled; For all the good and valliant parts of a Soldi|er was in him, in this bout Sir <HI>Symond Harcourts</HI> Regi|ment, behaved them&s;elves valliantly but for the Ca&s;tle our men were forced to returne home without taking it, having nothing but field peeces with them, the way being to rotten to beare greater as yet; many more of the enemies had bin &s;taine but that the wood defended them, &s;o that the Trees tooke off all that was &s;ent to them in this Ca&s;tle is thought to be much wealth be&s;ides all that have bin great men of the Re|bles. But our men will not &s;o leave it, but will againe try their forces again&s;t in &s;hortly.</P>
<PB REF="5">
<P> As ye&s;terday our men came home, yet tis to be feard that a famine is like to be in our City, in that &s;till men come to us and provi&s;ion is &s;hort, and none of yours that come to us bring any vittailes, great taxes are vpon us, more then can be borne, He that had Butter, and Chee&s;e, and Cloath at betwene 6 and 14 Shillings a yard here &s;ent by any out of London, might make a good trade of it; Che&s;hire chee&s;e is &s;ould here for &s;ix pence a pound already; Some of your Londoners are come hither (acquaintance of mine) that will &s;end for &s;uch things, for great profit may be made by them, and quicke returne.</P>
