Dublin , the 7. of March . 1641. GOOD brother Iohn Cole , I have not written unto you of late , because I wrote at large unto my Mother of the passages here ▪ whereof I am assured that you have been made partaker . I have heard of your sicknesse from London , but I hope that God hath heard our prayers , to restore you againe , which I ●●all be glad to hearof . The present newes I shall onely at present acquaint you withall ; This morning is come a Pinnace from Tredagh , or Droughedagh , which place I have often written in my former Letters to my mother , which was besieged by the Rebells , and in what manner it hath beene relieved , and what combates they have had with the enemy , and what great overthrow they have given the Rebells from time to time : they have with the losse of 40. or 50. men , at severall times slaine 1000 men , with those that have beene slain by our shipping within the Harbor . And on saturday last , being besieged on the north side of the town , the River dividing the Towne , by Sir Phealam O Neale and his , company . Sir Henry Tychborne , who is Governour of the Town , went forth against them , and gave them a very great overthrow : he put Sir Phealam O Neale to flight , who had a very narrow escape : but Great Mackmahan is taken prisoner , and about 30 more of the Rebells . Some of the Neales and Mackmahans have beene taken with him , and about 400. Rebells slaine . This newes is brought to the State by yong Sir Iohn Burlacy , Captaine Byron , and others that came in the Pinnace so now they have one side of the Towne cleare . They cannot want victualls , nor any thing the Countrey can offoord , and they will easily cleare the south-side towards Dublin ; for wee are informed , that most of the Rebells on this side of the towne are likewise gone further into the Countrey : for our Army is gone also abroad : My Lord of Ormond , our Lieutenant Generall , Colonell Hartcourt , Colonell Lambert , and divers others went hence , on Munday Morning last , with 3000. foot , and 700. horse , besides voluntiers : they went first unto Kilshohan Castle where our Army was last , and that they now tooke without any opposition . I thinke we have souldiers lying there , to keep it , for it is a strong place . Our Army burnt the houses about it , and burnt Filston : and we heare that they are sines gone from thence towards the Navue , and intend to goe unto Trym , we hear that where ever they come , there are none 〈…〉 them , for the Rebells shift to and fro , where they 〈…〉 our Army will not come neare them : and that as soone as 〈…〉 any place , they are presently in it againe but out 〈…〉 them but cold lodging , for they burne all before 〈…〉 , wee are ever bound to give God prayse and glory for the good agreement between the King and the Parliam●●● 〈…〉 know that a man may have a perfect sight in both his eyes , and yet he may have an enemy behind him that may destroy him , bee he● never so watchfull : but where there are many eyes round about , there is great hope of security . We find that the unity in England , makes great distractions amongst the Rebells ▪ the last eastward ; y winds made them take such cold heart , that they have been ever since running up and downe from place to place to catch heat , and I hope by the next to write you how well our Army have warmed them . At instant I am told of a Colonell of them that is now brought prisoner to the Castle of Dublin , taken by our Army , and that my Lord of Dousany is taken prisoner : all which is good newes . We heare of the arrivall of a great ship at Kingsale , out of England , to guard this coast : they are not a little welcome . Munster had some ayd out of England the last East wind , and great need there was of it . So I will cease from writing any more newes to you at this time , being you shall heare very suddainly from me againe , God willing . Your very loving Brother , ROBERT COLE . The Danes Plot discovered against this Kingdome , which was sent to the Lord Burrowes , and divers others , &c. My Lord , IF it may not seeme any way offensive to your Honour , I shall present one to you ; which whether you have heard of formerly , or no , I cannot tell , concerning the Danes ; who presumed so far upon his Majesties Coasts , as to come within ten leagues of his Majesties Port of Hull , affrighting the people there by their dayly report , proceeding from their owne mouths ; that they were bound for England , to receive satisfaction for some wrongs done them . Whereupon the rumour spreading abroad , through these their threats , intelligence was given to some of his Majesties ships then at sea , being the Iames , and the Rainbow , there being with them six Merchants ships , who resolved to goe and meet them , thereby to enquire the truth of this report : But ere they came neere , they perceived a small Company of Dutch ships , men of war , ready provided for an encounter with the Danes ; which gave them occasion of beholding the prospect , they begun the encounter about twelve of the clock on monday last , being the 21. of March , continuing fight for the space of two houres very hotly , Van Trump the Dutch , Admirall being then present , behaved himselfe very valiantly ▪ insomuch that they sunk many of the Danes ships , ere it was two of the Clocks ▪ when having spent much powder and shot of either party , they resolved upon parley , which continued for an houre , wherein Van Trump desired the perusall of their Commission , and to know whither they were bound , the ground of their intents ; which being denyed , they fell to it againe , and continued till it was dark ▪ when taking the opportunity of the night , being very cloudy , they fled , but the wind being contrary , some were driven upon the westerne coasts of Dorset and Devonshire : Whereas two of them are apprehended at Plympton M●rtes in Devonshire , untill the Owners shall be examined . When I shall give your honour reall intelligence concerning their profession , if so be they are not sent up to London , to those other Rebels : And in the mean time , I shall rest , Your Honours obliged Servant , HENRY WADDAM ▪ Hague , March the 20. stilo novo . The copie of a Letter written from Charles de la Fin , Page unto the young Prince of Orange , unto Iames de la Fin his Brother , Secretary unto the Duke of Vallette , residing now in Coven-Garden , touching the late proceedings of the Prince of Orange . Written from the Hague , in Italian , and translated by William Vmfrevile , Gent. March . 14. 1641. Brother , AS I am acquainted from you with the state of things in England , so let me impaire unto you some alterations here , that more neare to touch us : Grave Henry our Prince , and Master , by some information , from Martin Van trump , the States Admirall , is fallen into some more then distrust with the States , in matter of his proceedings in the Army , their jealousies brake forth into open discontent , upon occasion of a meeting of a great crue of his Commanders at a supper in Flushing ▪ upon the arrivall of the Queene of Great Brittaine , where his health being drunke before the Lords Generall , the Bourgemasters of the Towne , tooke great exceptions at it , giving out that the Prince of Orange was but their servant , and tooke pay of them , as well as the meanest souldier in the Army ; that it was disorderly done , to drinke his health before his betters : to whom replied Monfieur de Varasaville , a French Captaine of Horse ; that he trusted the Prince his Master so well understood himselfe , that having married his Son to the eldest daughter of the King of great Britaine , he would scorn to be counted , much more to be termed , the servant of Brewers and Bakers , and Felt-makers : hereupon the Burgemasters surlily and sawcily replyed , that taking their allowance , he was either a true servant , or a false Traytor . Varracaville was rising to let flie at him : and some others were as ready as he ; but noyse and tumult arising , the Governour of the Towne came in , and commanded all to be quiet , great muttering was in the Towne , the next two dayes about it : on the third , the Prince was summoned to the Hague to make his appearance before the States Generall , to make answer unto such things , as should by Martin Van Trump , Iohn Van Esterdort bee laid against him . His Highnesse tooke such homely dealing bad , and his servants worse : and his Army worst of all , who summoning a Counsell of warr● to his Highnesse lodging ; plainely told him , that except he would , he should not goe , and that they should know , that if they had money they had swords , and that they having command of the one , would not be long without the other , and that should shortly appeare , hereupon we all , as well servants , as Commanders , tooke an oath unto his Highnesse , and his sonne , to serve them towards all , and against all ; which taken upon mature deliberation , it was ordered by his Highnesse himselfe , because of the Queene of great Britains presence to go to the Hague , but not to take notice of any summons , and with such a company with him , that hee should not greatly need to feare them ; and here we are in that posture , not caring for those that looke so big upon us : I trust the Army is wholly made for his Highnesse ; not being desired of their service , but freely offering if : We his servants , and those of my young Masters , are resolved to see our end shortly accomplished , or to die every man of us : I trust there are no false parties in the Army , then before May-day I hope we shall see an alteration : and those that hold themselves our masters , shall be glad to give us all fitting respect : the King of Denmarke is assuredly for it , and hath promised both coyne , men , and shipping : France hearkens to it , and Spayne upon some conditions , will yeeld assistance ; it is more honourable for a Prince to be tyed in some ceremonious concernments unto a Monarch , then to any other , either by Democrasticall , or Aristocraticall Government : more pleasant tydings I hope to write you , at the Queens returne , if not before ; for this must not be long in doing , and it is here thought , that she will not stay long here , by reason that these atchievements cannot long remaine without a period , nor without some bickering , we hold it not fit , shee should be eye witnesse of it : His Highnesse , although he is counselled to send away speedily his young sonne , and our hope , into France , yet he will not , but is resolved that hee shall partake of his fortune , what ever it be ; I hope we shall shortly cry , Vivez Oraneye ; and in this expectation , wishing Heaven to say Amen unto it . Avisoes from severall places . THe 20. of Decem. stilo novo , arrived at St. Lucar the Admirall of the Nova Spania's Fleet , in company of another little small ship , they came in 92. dayes from the Havana , and were parted by a storme from the rest of the Fleet 12. dayes after their setting forth . I suppose they may be arriued at Porto Rico , for they had most of them spent their masts . The said Admirall was cast away in the going into St. Lucar , of 4. Millions , which he brought , about 1. ½ million lost ; the whole Fleet worth 10. or a 11. millions , the richest that ever was knowne ; in the said Admirall was lost 500. Chests of Cuchinell , and a 1000. Chests of Indigo , with a great quantity of other goods . I have Letters by an Aviso from Cartagena , dated the 14. of September , wherein they advise that the Gallions were ready laden with the silver , and would depart thence the 6. of October . The Generall of the Gallions , named Francisco Dias Pimienta , had bin formerly in the moneth of Iuly , with above 3000. men , and the least of his Ships in the Iland of Sancta Catalina , which he had taken and carried away all the English , and rased the Forts , wherein they found 600. Negros , much gold and Indigo , so that the prize is esteemed worth above halfe a million . This unexpected , and undeserved act of the Spaniard , in supplanting our Nation , will I hope ere long be requited , when as in coole bloud the Spaniard shall doe us a mischiefe , in demolishing , and ruining that which another hath built ; and is not able , or will not make use of it himselfe , supplanting our more industrious people , which endeavoured to doe good both to the bodies and soules of men , and onely to shew his greatnesse , with his multitude to destroy a handfull , and to account that a victory , which is rather a credulous trechery : but let him triumph that wins at last .
