<OPENER><SALUTE>SIR,</SALUTE></OPENER>
<P>WHen his Excellency marched from <HI>Dublin</HI> towards <HI>Mun&s;ter,</HI> he left me intru&s;ted with that Garri&s;on, my &s;elfe, and tho&s;e left with me at that time being &s;icke: The fir&s;t party that recovered were &s;ent after the Army; to wit, about 800 Foot, and 200 Hor&s;e, which fought and beat the Enemy upon their march: Some more of tho&s;e &s;icke men that were left recovering, and &s;ome recruits comming over. After I had &s;urpri&s;ed the &s;trong Fort upon the Bog of <HI>Allin,</HI> and taken <HI>Ca&s;tle-Martin</HI> in the County of <HI>Kildare,</HI> and placed a Garri&s;on therein. About the latter end of December, marched with a party of 1000 Hor&s;e and Foot into the I&s;land of <HI>Allin,</HI> and &s;ummoned <HI>Killmaog</HI> therein, but finding it not feazable to &s;torme without Guns, I marched to <HI>Rabride</HI> and <HI>Pon&s;ers Grange,</HI> and tooke them, and placed two &s;trong Garri&s;ons there, which did give me good footing in the County of <HI>Kildare,</HI> then &s;ent a party and took <HI>Kildare, Hertwell,</HI> and <HI>Cotling&s;towne,</HI> three u&s;efull Garri&s;ons in the &s;aid County; and provi&s;ions being &s;pent returned back to <HI>Dublin,</HI> there endeavouring to get Guns, Mortar peeces, and other nece&s;&s;aries ready to draw forth againe with all po&s;&s;ible &s;peed; in the in|terim I received Propo&s;itions from the Governour and Officers in the &s;trong Garri&s;on and Fort of <HI>Balli&s;onan,</HI> the originall whereof, I here inclo&s;ed pre&s;ent you with all under their owne hands, which being by me utterly rejected.</P>
<P>I marched upon Tue&s;day the 26 of Feb. with a party of 2000 Foot, and 1000 Hor&s;e, towards the County of <HI>Kildare,</HI> and took with me one Culverin, and one Demi-culverin, and one Mortar-piece, the Enemy fired their Garri&s;ons of Fort of Lea&s;e, Blackreath, &amp; the forementioned Ca&s;tle of Kilmaog in the I&s;land of Allin; but I &s;hall ea&s;ily make it te|nable againe, it being very u&s;efull for your &s;ervice, they al&s;o did blow up the Ca&s;tle of Athy, where they had a &s;trong Garri&s;on, and broke up the Bridge. Upon the 28 Feb. I marched from the Naas, and about four a clock with the Van of the party, I came to Belli&s;onan a &s;trong Garri&s;on, double Works, and double moted, full of water one within another, and amount with a Fort upon it, mo&s;t of the Officers with me e&s;teeming the taking of it to be unfeazable, it being late, and I unwilling to lo&s;e time, did &s;end in a Summons, a copy whereof is here inclo&s;ed, &amp; the inclo&s;ed an&s;wer under the Governours hand was pre&s;ently returned, &amp; the Town which was without his Works by him burned that night, I cau&s;ed a Bat|tery to be made and planted the Artillery, and made a Fort for the &s;ecu|rity therof, having intelligence that the Lord of Ca&s;tlehaven, with 4000

<P>UPon the &s;ixth in&s;tant, (information being given that five Compa|nies of the Enemies Foot were come to Poores Court about eight miles from hence, on Wickloe &s;ide) a Party was &s;ent from this place under the command of Sir <HI>Theophilus Iones</HI> to beat them our, or fight them, but before our Party got thither they demoli&s;ht all the buil|dings, they pull'd down the very walls, and fled away into the woods; we cannot keep any Garri&s;on there, becau&s;e there is no manner of &s;helter for our men there.</P>
<P>The tenth in&s;tant, Letters from Sir <HI>Charles Coote</HI> (then at Belfa&s;t) brought the newes of reducing Ca&s;tle Dooe.</P>
<P>There was lately a generall Coun&s;ell of the Clergy at <HI>Kilkenny,</HI> who treated upon Propo&s;itions pre&s;ented among&s;t them&s;elves for carrying on of the War.</P>
<P>The Plague continues in Galway, where there hath neare twenty thou&s;and dyed &s;ince, the fir&s;t of <HI>Augu&s;t</HI> la&s;t; mo&s;t of their Gentry there have peri&s;ht by it, among the re&s;t <HI>Ieffery Browne,</HI> heretofore a Practi&s;er at Law in England, Sir <HI>Richard Blague,</HI> both prime actors, and chiefe in the &s;upreame Coun&s;ell, with many others of their mo&s;t eminent contrivers of the Rebellion are dead.</P>
<P><HI>Ormond</HI> was lately at Portumny with the Earle of <HI>Clanrickard</HI> in Conaught.</P>
<P>On Wedne&s;day la&s;t, Captaine <HI>Molineux</HI> arrived here from Wexford, who brings the newes of our taking the Fort of Bally-haoke, over a|gain&s;t Pa&s;&s;age upon the River of Waterford, &s;o that all trading by Sea to Waterford is wholly &s;topt up; be&s;ides, there is a very great feare and jealou&s;ie, between the Towne&s;-men of Waterford, and the Souldi|ers there who are of the Northerne Iri&s;h.</P>
<P>We have certaine newes from Mun&s;ter, that my Lord Lievtenant hath been in the Field this good while, and hath taken Ca&s;hell and Callan (the latter being within &s;ix miles of Kilkenny) with &s;everall other con&s;iderable Garri&s;ons of the Rebbels about tho&s;e parts, and now about if not in Clonmell.</P>
<P>The Plague is very hot in Kilkenny.</P>
<P>The Toryes have behaved themselves &s;o barbarou&s;ly towards tho&s;e of their owne Party, that the Fryers and Prie&s;ts have excommunica|ted them.</P>
<P>The Governour on Tue&s;day la&s;t marcht into the County of Kildare, and we hourely expect an accompt of the reducing of &s;everall con&s;ide|rable Garri&s;ons thereabout; great Guns are this day &s;ent from hence unto him, the extreame wants of accommodations of all kinds for our men will I feare weaken our Army, and impede the pre&s;ent carry|ing,
