Joyful news FROM colonel HOLLIS HIS REGIMENT. ALSO A Relation of four carts loads of ammunition taken in Salisbury-Court Aug. 19  
SInce the setting forth of the volunteers that went under the command of colonel Hollis, they have performed cour●giously the charge which they undertook, unanimously & cheerfully marching towards the town of Uxbridge, not doing the least harm to either man, woman or child; but in their march one evening being late, they were set upon by a great number of Cavaliers who suddenly issued out of a wood; but the volunteers having their muskets charged, by reason they were benighted, immediately gave fire against them, the dyers and butcher's being in the foremost ranks near the front, who so fast sent the bullets amongst them, that the Cavaliers were glad to betake them to flight, leaving behind them twenty or thirty brave horses which were wounded.  
Never was any Kingdom more infested with monsters than this of ours in these distempered and disastrous times, wherein (like Africa) it abound with new monsters, which viperlike even tear out the bowels of their mother-nation that first gave them being. There is scarce a day wherein some State-ruining plot or other is not detected. Their deeds of darkness are for the most part (blessed be the Father of lights) brought to light. See an example of it in this day's discovery: in Salisbury-Court in London the 19 of this present August, in a Lord's stable under a great hay-mow was found four cart loads of all sorts of ammunition for war, which was taken away and carried into Guild-Hall. There were also three carts loaden with ammunition powder and shot taken from the Cavaliers (and carried into Coventry) as it was carrying out of Leicestershire to Warwick, the manner whereof you may see in this ensuing Letter.  
The true copy of a letter sent from Leicestershire by William Burton a Messenger of the Parliament to a Gentleman in London.  
IN the first place give me leave in a sociable way to commmend my best respects to yourself and your kind wife, hoping of your peaceable quietness, though you intend defence, both for yourselves, and us here in Leicester, Warwick, and Northamptonshire. All which Counties are now in such distractions as they despair for want of relief and aid from you, I mean the Head at Westminster, on whom our shoulders relied to stand, for want whereof many are revolted: some stand still, and more in desperate fear for want of encouragement: So that upon Friday last when I was at Daventry, I understood that many Cavaliers were come to Warwick, and there assaulted the Castle so far, as two men within the Castle were slain, presuming to do more mischief with the four pieces they got from my Lord Brook at Banbury: but (as God would have it) by overcharging two of them broke, and the third (as is supposed) was poisoned, so they did no more hurt: the fourth, being so little, could not reach the Castle, though they had before the overcharging shot down one of the Church pinnacles. Again, the Cavaliers the same day came to two or three little villages near Rugby in Warwick shire, and disarmed the inhabitants of Mu●ket, Pike, and other warlike provision: but one little town (called Kil●●y) withstanding them, the Cavaliers shot three of ●hem to death, and ransacked the town, and took away all armour and ammunition whatsoever, and carried it to Warwi●k. upon which affright there have divers women died since, one ran stark mad, and two by miscarriage. These Cavaliers take away all the ammunition in every village town in Lincolnshire, Nottinghamshire, Leicestershire, Warwickshire, and N●rthamptonshire. They have yet spared the trained bands: but yesterday night came a Warrant for all tr●ined men to appear at Leicester on tuesday being the 16▪ of this month: but the Warrant having no hand to it (though it was supposed to come from M. Hastings) they are resolved not to go. And this day here at Hinckley we understand that he means to disarm the trained band, and take the armour into his own poss●ssion, for His majesty's use, who is expected to be at Leicester on wednesday next, and from thence to Warwick, and so to Alesbury, where His Majestis purpose is to set up his Standard, as here we are informed. And most of the Gentry in all the said Counties are solely for the King, especially the clergy in general: as some fifty pound and one horse, some thirty pound and two horse●, some twenty, fifteen, ten, and eight pounds apiece, none under eight, yet all in general contributory. The Earl of Essex his delay is strangely admired here; insomuch as I suppose if he were here, all the Cavaliers might be surprised: For, M. Hastings, M. Chamberlain, and M. Purfie, who were sending each of them a great Cart load, the one powder and shot, the other muskets, the third bullets and pikes for war: they were all intercepted and sent to Coventry, which is replenished with hundreds of volunteers for the Parliaments side. I heard that the Commission of Array was yesterday (being Sunday) and to day at Leicester set up: whereupon is demanded the tenth of every man's estate, lands or goods, and is to be seized, and so by consequence at pleasure hereafter, if the Parliament relieve it not. I am determined to go to Coventry to morrow, and the next day to L●icester, from whence I shall inform you furth●r as occasion and experience shall offer i● s●lfe. And so I rest,  
Yours as ever I was, William Burton. 〈◊〉 Hinckley in Leicester Shire, August 17. 1642.  
His majesty having commanded all his lo●ing subjects to repair unto him that will aid an● as●●st him, the chiefest of the Gentry of Yo●kshire do refuse to obey the said command, and are resolved to assist the Parliament against all that shall oppose them, proffering their own persons to both Houses to maintain the said Cause. And they seeing that His majesty is resolved to set up his Standard, they humbly desired His most sacred majesty to change His intention from so doing: resolving to the uttermost of their power to resist those persons that shall animate His majesty to eng●ge this kingdom in a civil war.  
The Lords and Commons in Parliament declare, That all such persons as shall, upon any pretence whatsoever, assist His majesty in this war, with Horse, Arms, Plate or Money, are traitors to His majesty, the Parliament and kingdom, and shall be brought to condign punishment for so high an offence.
