Being a true and exact Relation of two great Victories obtained against the Rebels there: the one by Sir Charles Vavasour, who with less than 500 men hath raised the siege of Kelly, and Barry, taken 12. of the chief Commauders of the Rebels, and brought them in chains to Dublin, and took from them 1000 Cowes, and 700. sheep besides other cattle, doing also great spoil by fire. The other by Captain Bartlet, who took 40. Irish Commanbers, with great store of Ammunition, and carried them Prisoners to Barranakilly; and how the great Oneale is wounded, and not like to escape.  
Sent in a Letter from captain Courtney at Dublin, to M. Snow, one of the Adventurers for Ireland. Dated Novemb. 10. 1642.  
Also an Order made by both Houses of Parliament, prohibiting the aiding and relieving of the Rebels in Ireland.

TRUE INTELLIGENCE from IRELAND: Being the copy of a Letter from Captain Courtney at Dublin, to M. Snow one of the Adventurers for Ireland, Dated the 10. of November, 1642.  
SIR,  
WIth grief I have considered your last Letter, and no marvel of such distractions in the kingdom, when as the Ports are opened to receive those rebels and traitors which pass from hence to His Majesty, and as by your Letters and Pamphlets of news they are received and made chief Commanders of His majesty's Army; there is, as I conceive, a great default in the searchers of Plymouth, Bristol and Mineard, which suffer any to pass without examination or otherwise, so that the kingdom is in a desperate condition, and lies at the brink of destruction.  
Oneale the great rebel hath of late been very sick, and we all think he will hardly recover it, for what with his wound in his side at Felles' siege, and sickness together, he lies desperately sick. We often hear from him, th●● he is well recovered, but by his ragged soldiers which we take daily, they have confessed that he cannot live; and in case he should die, the young Makarkey shall be made general over the whole kingdom: what soldiers we take we dare not keep them for fear of infection, for the plague is very much dispersed among them, & hundreds die at a time. We have had it likewise amongst our soldiers, but we received it first from the Rebels and captives which we took; but we hope the worst is past, for there dieth not above 100 a week, and some weeks less, which is but a moiety of those hat die of the rebels. Sir, about 4. days before the date of my Letter, we advanced our Forces towards Felles, where we found some of the Irish Army drinking of carouses and healths to the King of Spain their supposed Protector; but in the midst of their jollity our Army fell upon them, and slew 200. whereupon a greater party of the Rebels appeared, and assaulted us, and there was a stout fight on both sides, laying aside pikes & muskets, and fighting only with our swords, so that our men had slain and wounded most of them, had not colonel Bourne with a fresh supply of 600. come in the interim. Nevertheless our soldiers made good their parts, and came off with the loss of 100 at the most. We brought from them 1000 cows, besides horse and sheep, and great store of other pillage that was freely given to the soldiers for their pains, which very much incourageth them. Oneal his soldiers are most lamentable distressed poor people, hardly sufficient to clothe their nakedness. We were much afraid of the Spanish Forces which landed at Waterford two days before the fight, but, as God would have it, our soldiers carried their pillage quite away before they came to assist colonel Bourne, who was chief Commander amongst the Rebels in that fight.  
We have great hopes of captain Bartlet, for hitherto he hath done very good service; and this instant day he took a Dunkirk ship full of ammunition, and 40. Irish Commanders in it, and immediately brought them to Barannakilly: they were driven with a tempest upon our coasts, for it appeared by their examination that they intended to have landed at Tingmouth, Dartmouth, or some such like creek in the West parts of England.  
I cannot but admire at a merchant's ship of Bristol which lately anchored at Crockhaven by reason of tempestuous weather, the Captain and Master of the ship fearing lest the rebels would sink her, invited the chiefest rebels of the town aboard, and gave them royal entertainment, in hopes to have merchandise for their Tobacco, they had fair promises protested aboard, but when the rebels got the Captain & Master ashore, they vowed to hang them if they commanded not the rest of the Mariners to come ashore and leave their ship and goods amongst them. The Captain and Master escaped with their lives, though it were not a pennyworth of hurt if the rebels had hanged them in earnest, for they needed not to h●zzard ship or goods, nor were they constrained to go ashore, but they might have carried away or curbed the rebels at their pleasure.  
Sir Charles Vavasour is worthy of honour, and very forward in any design, he hath lately been at Kelly and Barry, and although the towns have been besieged, yet with less than 500 he raised the siege, and enforced them to take their bulwarks for their refuge, and between their works and sconces in the trenches he spied at least 200. of the rebels dead, who died of the sickness, and lay on the ground like dead dogs: he commanded his soldiers not to touch any of them, which they all obeyed, yet he departed not empty, for his soldiers took 7. or 800. sheep, besides cows and hogs: besides other spoil by fire which he did before he departed, he took 12. Commanders, and coupled them in chains, and brought them unto Dublin. I will not trouble you with superfluous matter, only this, our City of Dublin is at great expense for the payment of soldiers, and is strongly fortified within and without, being double chained in every cross street, and 1000 armed men every night equally distributed to the Courts of Guard: nevertheless the rebels affront us to the very ports of the city; but I hope God in his good time will abate the pride of those his enemies, assuage thei● malice, and confound their devilish devices, unto which I shall ever say, Amen.  
Dublin, Novemb, 10. 1642. Your assured loving friend, THOMAS COURTNEY.   

An Order made by both Houses of Parliament, forbidding the aiding and relieving of the Rebels in Ireland.  
WHereas great numbers of Papists, both English and Irish, some whereof have been, and are Commanders in the wars; and others, such as have estates in England, have gone out of this Kingdom into Ireland, immediately before and during the present rebellion there, and traitorously joined themselves with the Rebels of that Nation, against His Majesty, and the Crown of England; and likewise divers other Popish Commanders, and such as have estates in England, are daily preparing to go thither, to the same wicked ends: and great store of arms, Ammunition, Money, corn, and other Victuals and Provisions have been sent, and are daily preparing to be sent to that kingdom, for the assistance and encouragement of those Rebels: For prevention whereof, the Lords and Commons in this present Parliament assembled, do hereby Order and straightly charge and command all Sheriffs, Justices of the Peace, Mayors, Bailiffs, Constables, and other His majesty's Officers within the Realm of England, and Dominion of wales, That they apprehend and examine all such persons, as they shall suspect to be Papists, and going out of this kingdom, and the Dominion of Wales into Ireland. And that they also make stay of all arms, Munition, Money, corn, and other Victnals and Provisions, which they shall suspect to be prep●ring for transportation into Ireland, for the aid and relief of the Rebels there, And to give speedy notice thereof unto the Parliament.
