More Gallant NEWES FROM IRELAND SIR , Upon the order sent hither , from the Committee for the affaires of Ireland , directing , that wee should make the strongest diversions we could , to entertain the Rebels , that they might not have leysure to prejudice the Garrisons under the Lord of Ormond , and upon his Lordships desire , that we should allarm them , by sending out parties into their quarters , tho our souldiers are naked , and the Officers miserably poor , and destitute of all means , y●t rather then any inconveniency should arise to the publique , it was resolved by some of the Officers of the Brittish Forces to send out 2 parties severall wayes , wherin some of us only could be drawn to this service , and of the forces in the Counties of Down and Antrim , there marched out in this party , under the command of Colonel Conway , son of the Lord Clanboyes , Sir John Clotworthies , and Col. Conwayes Regiments of Foot , with the horse of Col. Hills Regiments , and those belonging to the 3 Regiments , and some other of the troopes consisting in all of about 800. Horse and Foot . who having no meanes for carrying of victuall , or victuall for any continuance , the Foot tooke ten dayes meale on their backs , and marched as far as the County of Meath in Leimster , the Counties of Monaghau and Cavan on the Borders of Ulster , and fell on a party of the Rebels beyond Carric-Mac Rosse , being five Foot Companies , and two troops of Horse , who were so suddenly surprized , that they made very small resistance , but quit their posts , & betook themselves to their heeles , and in the pursuit divers were killed ; but they being fresh , & acquainted with the bogs & passes in those parts , and our men weak & weary , could not performe any great executions upon them , but took and brought away 7 or 800 lean Cowes , and 200 small Garons , and some sheep , of which our hungry soldiers soone made havock of , whereof they could not in reason be restrained , having no other meanes to give them the least satisfaction in , but the remainder of our purchase , which being distributed amongst the souldiers and officers that were abroad , was a very seasonable relief to them ; but those at home in their quarters will be necessitated to fall on the Cowes of the Country , their stock of the last years Harvest being quite spent and devoured , and the inhabitants themselves will grow so desperate , that seing all is like to be gone , they think it but reason to take a share of their owne . They have wayted with much patience on the effect of our Commissioners solicitation in hope to be eased of their extreame oppression . But what we have labouted to spare them in , our fellow Souldiers of the Scots Army are taking from them : for it seemes here being reports spread , of the dismission of that Army , their Officers are exacting 3 Months assesment together , which is so insupportable a burden , that they are weary of their lives . And indeed ▪ it is a most compendious way to bring our miseries to an end , for we must quit the Country for ought I see after all the miseries we have endured , in preserving of it from the Rebels , who will be found troublesome to England . Gods will be done , we cannot make brick without straw , though we would undergo any burdens , so we may be rendred serviceable to this cause . We have heard nothing yet of our other party of the Lagan Forces , who are marched out under Col. Mervin , about the time ours went abroad from these quarters , and have bin 14 dayes abroad busied in Conaught , as we have bin towards Dublin , and after a short refreshment , our Officers are resolved upon another march , with a stronger party , which we hope wil prove a good means of security to the Lemster Garrisons , though it be a great wasting to our poor souldiers , who want shooes and all other necessary accommadation for such service , which gives them as mvch discouragement , as the Rebels are lifted up , to see supplies of men and money come over so slowly , being informed , that the Divisions in England , are greater then they have been at any time since these troubles . The Pyrates 〈◊〉 so busie in our Northerne Coasts , and about the Isles of Scotland , that our Fishermen and Barkes are like to be in great danger to be taken ( as some have been already ) unlesse some of the Parliament small ships be appointed to lye on these Coasts , to prevent the dayly intercourse betwixt the Rebels of Ireland and th●se of Scotland . Thus having given you a short account of our affaires , I rest Your affectionate friend and servant , H. J. Belfast , 10. May , 1647. FINIS .
