THE MANNER OF Apprehending of Oneale, the arch-rebel of Ireland, and colonel Brunslow; expressed in a Letter to the Bishop of ARMAGH.  
Right Reverend and beloved Father in God;  
THave thought good, after a great deal of Intelligence of our miseries, to present one cordial, being the only hopes of our happy ensuing fortunes, and the general progredient of the rebel's overthrow, whose cankered spleen is turned into as much fear of the just vengeance of the almighty, for their insulting pride and bloody massacring of his people. I will abbreviate my description as much as I may, and thus begin:  
At Grahayne and Burderdah, being two small Villages upon the plain, adjoining to the forest of Morpetenter, in the County of Munster, Oncale with his following Regiments having been dispersed by the Scots in the last Battle repaired thither, in respect of the conveniency of the place for Skirmish, as also the nearness of the Wood for a present Refuge. Intelligence being given to Sir Simon Harcourt of their abode, and knowing they must of necessity be unprovided, by reason of their so late flight; He put forward with five thousand men, whom he disposed of (after his arrival) in manner following.  
First, He placed 〈◊〉 〈◊〉 〈◊〉 〈◊〉 〈◊〉 〈◊〉 Forrest, to hinder their sight 〈◊〉 〈◊〉 〈◊〉 〈◊〉 hundred of his best men, well horsed, to ransack in the valleys, thereby to procure the Irish to follow them; with the residue he resolved to give an unexpected onset upon the Enemy. This plot accordingly prevailed; for they no sooner perceived the Horsemen, but they forthwith sent eight hundred of their best men, well provided after them; our men seeming to fly, whilst they followed; Oneale with the residue of his men, all out of order, stood beholding of this delightful prospect, hooting and making such a clamour, that our men came upon them unawares, slaying many, some being taken prisoners, amongst the rest Oneale and Brunslow, with divers of their Officers, and those that fled, being many slain by, the Amhush. Much joy we have with us at this great overthrow. Oneale and Brunslow are now prisoners in Dublin; and our comfort is much increased. Thus having given you the true Relation of this novel; Desiring your prayers for us as we for you, I rest  
Yours in all humility, Ed BOND.   

Certain News from the Coasts of Barbary.  
AMbrosius Christopher an expert Mariner, and well skilled in Sea▪ fights, setting sail the 28, day of February for the Isles of the Ganaries, about nine of the clock in the morning, after that they had sailed three days with a very prosperous gaile, and were not far now from their wished Harbour, descried not above a League before them a little Galley, which seeing the English colours waving upon the top-masts, presently endeavoured with all her oars to secure herself by flight. The master of the ship having no evil intention, yet seeing a ship flee before she was chased, could not but wonder what the matter should be; and as the common proverb is, A flier must needs have a follower: he left off his own necessary journey, and presently hoisting up all his sails made after her, but she going a great deal more swiftly than he, by reason that the ship had only a side wind, and that not strong enough neither, he was forced to send a swifter messenger after her: so discharging two pieces from the chase, he had so good fortune that one took away a great piece of her stern, the other did break her orelap presently. She after such a shroud message let down her anchor and stayed still. So the Master of the ship presently sent out his long boat for her well manned, and brought her up; being asked from whence they came, and whither they were bound, answered that they came from Ireland, and were going for Spain. Being asked by whose instigation they fled, showed the Captain of the ship: The master asking him the reason why he had caused the Galley to fly two or three times, he would answer nothing, being as it seems sworn to the Rebels to do their business faithfully: But being threatened with the Rack if he would not confess, at last he told that he had Letters from the Earl of Tyron, to the King and Peers of Spain: the Master presently desired to see them, but he drawing them out of his pocket, would have thrown them into the Sea, had not they struck against one of the ropes, and fallen back again into the ship, he thinking them irrecoverable if they fell into the Sea. When the ship was now under sail, the Master taking them up, and reading them found this to be the superscription. 
The united Lords of Ireland to the King and Peers of Spain, with all health.   
The copy of the Letter.  
MOst excellent Prince, and you Nobles of the Kingdom of Spain, you know very well what a hard task we have in hand, having undertaken to wrest the Kingdom of Ireland out of the hands of the Englishmen, who for many years have kept it very strongly: neither are ye ignorant (Unless all our Letters have been intercepted, what good success our proceedings have had hitherto; having almost opened to you an entry to that Kingdom, which heretofore hath so strongly opposed, and having made free passage for any of your Forces into Ireland, our name also becoming terrible not here only, but also in England. It doth concern you many ways to aid us in this enterprise, and to have no less hand in it than we: it being first for the Religion that we fight; next for a Kingdom, if it shall please you only to take it, or help us in taking of it. We after it is overcome desiring nothing more than to be subject to the King of Spain, and to enjoy our lands, which by the tyranny of the English men are snatched out of our hands. We therefore lacking nothing but Ammunition and victualling, for we have abundance of men, and more than we can furnish with arms, insomuch that when we receive an overthrow, we are a great deal more sorry for our loss of Arms than of men. Next may it please you to send us some provision of Corn, and Beans, and Pease, for our soldiers; for we have abundance here of Beeves and Mutton. So expecting help, and ever still praying for your Majesties and your kingdom's happiness, I rest  
From before Dublin at our Camp, Febr. 26. Yours to command, John Tyron.   

The apprehension of Don Pedro De's Valdres.  
NO sooner had the King of Spain received intelligence from Ireland, but immediately he dispatches from his Court one Don Pedro des Valdres, a man very famous not long since in Germany and elsewhere, with Letters to strengthen the hope of the Rebels, and to promise them aid. But mark also how he was apprehended, for coming from Castille in a tall ship, he was encountered by a ship of Ipswitch, being not above 200. in burden. This Don Pedro being a hot fellow, and a continual enemy to the English Nation, as he hath showed himself in many places before, would needs the one bout with her: the master of the ship being a man of a good spirit, did not refuse to hazard his ship and himself for the honour of his country. In which action he behaved himself so bravely, that he took the ship and Don Pedro in it, being dangerously wounded: He had about him Letters of great consequence. Don Pedro died of his wound not long after. The rest that were in the ship are carried to Ipswitch, to stay there whilst they hear from the Parliament.
