JOYFUL NEWS FROM THE EARL OF WARWICK: BEING A true Relation of the taking of two ships which came from DENMARK, laden with ammunition and money, by the Earl of Warwick, who are coming up to London.  
UPon the eight and twentieth day of September, when the honourable Houses of Parliament were assembled, they received information by Letters from the Earl of Warwick, which was to this effect: That being resident with his charge in the Navy, wherewith he was entrusted by the Parliament, for the security and peace of the Kingdom, he discovered two ships afar off, which were coming towards the coast of England from Denmark, full fraught, and when they perceived themselves to be discovered by the English Fleet, which drew somewhat nigh to them, and seeing it were in vain to think to save themselves by flight, and that they were no way able to defend themselves if they should run the hazard of an encounter with the English Fleet, without any opposition or resistance they suffered themselves to be boarded by the Earl of Warwick, who found them to be laden with good store of ammunition and money, which mounted to the value of an hundred thousand pound, he seized upon them and their treasure, that they might not be employed against the Parliament, and hath sent them guarded with two other of his ships up to London for the service of the King and Parliament.  
Notwithstanding these and other the like means of assistance used for the upholding and maintaining of the malignant and illaffected party of the Kingdom against the Parliament, yet have we no cause of discouragement, because of the near union between the two nations of England and Scotland, from whom (upon Friday last) Letters were read in the House of Commons, directed to the Lords and Commons now assembled in the high Court of Parliament of England, in manner of a Remonstrance, wherein they did declare the sense that they have of the great distractions and distempers of this Kingdom, tending to the subversion of the long established government thereof, and the confusion of the whole State, and in the end would prove the destruction of that their Kingdom of Scotland; and therefore the Lords and Commons of that Kingdom are resolved to present a Petition to His Majesty, with such reasons as they conceive may move him to an accommodation of peace & agreement with both his Houses of Parliament; but if the same should be rejected, they are resolved to assist the Parliament with force of arms, to defend their just cause, and to bring all delinquents and incendiaries that have disturbed the peace of the Kingdom, and caused these troubles, to condign punishment, which the House with great joy and much thankfulness accepted of.  
On the 22. of September the great Rebel Oneal came before Munster with near 15000. men, threatening ruin and destruction to all that should any way resist them, pretending withal, that he had the King's authority for what he did: but I conceive that is but a counterfeit show and false pretence, wherewith he beguiled the ignorant Irish, taking example, as I conceive, of the malignants of your Kingdom, who colour all their wicked and malicious designs under a pretence of standing for His Majesty, and the defence of the true Protestant Religion, when indeed their ends are like his, tending to nothing but ruin. But we, being acquainted with his treacherous actions, and knowing that our chief security consisted in God's protection and our own timely prevention, gathered ourselves together under the command of our Vice-President: and though we were but a small number in comparison of his forces, yet being put into a martial equipage, we fronted boldly, without demanding the cause of his present arrival.  
This sudden and unexpected charge proved very advantageous to us, and disadvantageous to them: for instead of making good their ground, they lost their order, which by the continual motion and striving of the gross body, was rather more disordered, than any way recovered, by which means our men did very great execution upon the army of the Rebels, routing of their main Battalions. To be short, we slew above 700. Rebels, and lost not above 25.  
On the first of October the Parliament received Letters from the Earl of Bedford, informing them that the marquis of Hartford, the Lord Pawlet, and the rest of that company, except Sir Ralph Hopton which is departed from them, and escaped privately (as it is thought) bacl again into Somersetshire, were closely followed by the said Earl to Minyard, where he finding of some small Coale-ships, notwithstanding the Earl of Bedford having used all possible means to prevent his passage over Severne, he was gotten over the river, and is escaped into Wales, but that the Earl of Bedford in his pursuit after them, had taken M. Pallart, Sir Henry Berkley, and two of his brothers, Sir Charles and Sir John Berkley, which the said Earl is sending up to the Parliament. The Earl is now disarming of the Papists and Malignant Party of that County, and placing sufficient Garrisons for the preservation of the peace of that County.
