A FULL RELATION OF The whole proceed at the Siege before DEALE-CASTLE.  
SIR,  
UPon our laying close siege to Deale-Castle, the Defendants by Granades and red hot Loggats, fired part of the town, which we could not quench before it had burnt down sixteen houses, because the wind sat North-East, and forced the flame upon the whole town; we have raised a Fort between the Castle and the Sea, which will keep off any ships for coming to annoy us: We have also raised another Fort between this and Sandown-Castle, by which means no relief or Forces can land there. Friday last we played with our Canon against the Castle, and every night they send many Canon shot unto us in the town, which was such a terror to the Inhabitants, that they have all forsaken their dwellings: there be in the Caastle about two hundred men, women, and children; when we sent some Granades amongst them, upon sight of our giving fire, those in the Castle keeping a watch, presently perceived what was coming amongst them, upon which those, which were on the watch gave an alarm to the rest by the sound of a Bell, which when they heard the rest in the Castle got down into the Cellar, and avoided the fury of the execution; those which were taken in the Prince's Frigate the last week in the Isle of Thanet being examined say, that the Sea agreed not with the health of the Duke of York, and thereupon he is returned again into Holland: but others say, he is gone to strengthen himself in men and shipping; the Prince with a Fleet of ships hath rid within sight of this Castle, and hath set up his Standard in the Vice-admiral, and divers ships sailing for London have been stayed. The Earl of Warwick hath also set up his Standard for the Parliament, but no action hath as yet happened between them, we have not lost above six or seven men before Deale-Castle since our sitting down before it, some execution hath been made in the Castle, but what their loss is, as yet we know not: Captain Green who commanded the Frigate before mentioned, which was taken by Sir Michael Lieusay's men in the Isle of Thanet, was to be tried for his life by a Council of War, but the Prince sent a Trumpeter on shore in the interim with a white paper in his hat signed, 
 Charles, Prince of Wales.  
In which paper his Highness required the said Captain Green should be sent to him again by exchange or otherways, and in it thought this motion will be granted: the Message was sent, as we understand, to Sir Michael Lieusay, of which I shall give you a further account by the next.  
Sandwich, Aug. 2. 1648. Your assured Friend, T. M.   

I have here enclosed sent you a copy of the Prince's Commission, as it was sent to the Governor of Scarborough Castle.

In the execution whereof, and of this our Commission, you are to obey and pursue such Orders as you shall from time to time receive from His Majesty, from Us, or from such person as we shall appoint.  
Given under our Hand and Seal in the 24. year of the Reign of our Royal Father the King.  
Wednesday the 2. of July the Prince sent a Letter to the Merchant-Adventurers of the City of London, but the matter therein contained was only to desire them to deliver the enclosed to the Lord Mayor, aldermans, etc. 
  
  
Signed Charles P.  
According to his Highness' request, the enclosed Letter was delivered and read at a Common Council, and the effect of the Letter was to signify, that his Highness had caused to be stayed divers Merchants Ships, but would discharge them again upon condition the City of London send him twenty thousand pounds, with this Letter his Highness sent to the City his Declaration, That his endeavour is to rescue the King's Majesty his royal Father from base imprisonment, restoring the rights, and liberties of the City of London. And so for all the other particulars contained in a sheet called the Heads of the Prince his Declaration, which is already printed, and is too large to be here again inserted, This Letter and Declaration were both signed with the Prince his own hand.
