Another great and bloody FIGHT IN IRELAND Between The Prince's forces, and the Parliaments; with the particulars thereof, the number killed and taken prisoners; and a great Victory obtained by the Lord Inchiquin against Gen. Oneal.  
SIR,  
BY an Express yesterday from the Lord Governor Cromwell, we hear, that he is got safely into the Harbour at Dublin, and hath landed two or three Regiments of the foot, the horse being also craning out of the ships as fast as possible they can: it's said, that his Lordship (at his landing) were entertained with a great volley from the great Guns in the City. And a little before his presence Col. Jones sent forth a party of horse and foot to take in Droghedah; who upon summoning thereof, the Lord Moor returned a very peremptory answer, and disputed the place with great resoluteness and gallantry, insomuch, that many many of them were slain upon the place; but at last, the conflict grew so hot and sharp, that the enemy began to article and at last obtained conditions to march away with sword and pistol, upon the surrender of the town with all the Ordnance, Arms and Ammunition. This action cost us not very dear, our loss being esteemed about 70, whereof 30 slain, the rest wounded: of the enemies about 200.  
We hear that the Lord Inchiquin hath randezvoued in Muster about 4000 horse and foot, who sending a Letter to Gen. Oneal, to know whether he would covenant for the declared King of Scotland, etc. received answer, that he would not engage against the Parl. of England: whereupon he advanced with his horse and foot, fell upon them in their quarters, dissipated part of the foot, killed many, and took divers prisoners, forcing the rest to the Bogs and Woods, in which conflict, they give out, that above 1000 fell under the power of their sword.  
During which action, Sir Charles Coot lay not idle in London-Derry, but opportunely foreseeing his advantage, sallied out, and fell upon Sir Charles Stuarts quarters, killed many, took divers prisoners, and raised the siege, with the loss of 40 men.  
The news is confirmed from Dublin, Ormond hath paid dear of his bowzing, Taff, Preston, and he being met together, thought they could destroy the Parl▪ power, by drinking healths to their destruction, when it's in so many words a Bull, whereas Lieu. Gen. Jones came soberly upon them, and made them run several ways: It's said, that in their haste they fell upon Ballyshanon, have taken it, and are rallyed, being about twelve thousand within twelve miles of Dublin and fallen to their old way of disputing passe●: which when lost, they run to the next: they increase by the coming of forces to them, and say, if they recover not their reputation before Michaelmas, they shall not keep Ireland from a total reducement within a year.

By Letters from the Hague thus: since the late brow given to Ormond by Lieut. Gen. Jones, we hear that they are re-bodying about Kilkeny and Muster, and that in the said Engagement thirteen thousand of the Prince's forces escaped, who are gathering together, and randezvouzing in several places; but the raising of the siege, and defeating that potent power is joyfully rescented by many.  
It is likewise reported, that the Prince's retinue lately sat in Council, whose result was, That new propositions should be sent to the Parl. of Scotland, viz. 1 That his declared Majesty would wive his assent, for the settling of Religion, according to the solemn League and Covenans.  
2 That he would wholly apply his Ear to the Council and Advice of the Estates convened, provided, that respect might be had to the tender Consciences of those who have adhered to or assisted him.  
But this will hardly be; for he must either become a perfect Covenanter, or else a despised Prince.  
Many of the Royal party have caused proclamation to be made for Charles the TWO, for the raising of Volantiers, but few appears in that engagement,

The Scots Resolution touching their King.  
FIrst, that prevailing party of Sectaries of England, who have broken the Covenant, and despised the Oath of God, corrupted the truth, subverted the fundamental Government, by King and Parliament, and taken away the life; look upon us with an evil eye, as upon those who stand in the way of their monstrous and new-singled devices, in Religion and Government, and though there were no cause to fear any thing for that party, but the Gangrene and infection of those many damnable and abominahle errors, which have taken hold on them, yet our vicinity unto and daily to commerce with that nation, may justly make us afraid that the Lord may give up many in this land unto a spirit of delusion, to believe lies, because they have not received the love of truth.  
Secondly, Neither is the Malignant party so far broken and brought low, as that they have abandoned all hopes of carrying on their former designs against the Covenant, and work of Reformation, besides many of them in this Kingdom who are as Foxes tied in chains, keeping in evil nature, and waiting opportunity to break their cords, and again to pray upon the Lord's people. That the standing Armies in Ireland, under the command of the Marq. of Ormond, the Lord Inchiqueen, the Lord of Airds, and George Munroe, who forgetting the horrible cruelty that was exercised by the Irish and English Nations in that Land, have entered into a Peace and association with them, that they may the more easily carry on the old design of the Popish, Prelatical and Malignant party, and the Lord of Airds, and George Munroe, have by treachery and oppression, brought the Province of Ulster, and Garrisons therein, under their power and command, and have redacted our Countrymen, and such as adhere unto the Covenant and cause of God in that Province unto many miseries and straits, and are like to banish the Ministers of the Gospel, and to overturn these fair beginnings of the work of God, which were unto many a branch of hope, that the Lord meant to make Ireland a pleasant Land.  
Thirdly, But which is more grievous unto us then all these, our King notwithstanding of the Lords hand, against his father's opposition to the work of God, and bearing down all those in the three Kingdoms, by which it is come to pass, that his Majesty hath hitherto refused to grant the just and necessary desires of this Kirk and Kingdom, which were tendered unto him from the Commissioners of both for securing of Religion, the liberties of the Subject, his Mai. Government, and the peace of the Kingdom; and it is much to be feared that those wicked Counsellors may so far prevail upon him in his tender years, as to engage him in a War for overturning (if it be possible) of the Work of God, and bearing down all those in the three Kingdoms that adhere thereto, which if he shall do, cannot but bring great wrath from the Lord upon himself and his Throne, and must be the cause of many new and great miseries and calamities to these Lands.  
And albeit the Lands be involved in many difficulties and compassed about with great and imminent dangers; yet there is hope and ground of consolation concerning this thing; the Lord is in the midst of us, and we are called by his name, our ears hear the joyful sound of the Gospel, add our eyes see our Teachers. We behold the arm of the Lord stretched out daily in working salvation for his people, and answering their desires upon their enemies, by terrible things inrighte onsnesse, although we be few in number, yet the Lord of Hosts is with us, and in the power of his strength we shall be able to prevail; although our land be filled with sin, yet we have not been forsaken of the Lord our God, but he hath always had compassion upon us, and delivered us in all our distress; although some of understanding fall, it is bot to try, and to purge, and to make white even to the end, because it is yet for a time appointed although many cleave to us by flatteries, yet there be a remnant who keep their integrity, and the Lord shall do good to those that be good; but such as turn aside to crooked ways, shall be led forth with the workers of iniquity.  
The Lord's people in England and Ireland, who adhere to the cause and covenant, may be perplexed, but shall not despair, they may be persecuted but shall not be forsaken; they may be cast down but shall not be destroyed; and although uniformity and the work of Reformation in these hands seem not only to be retarded, but almost pluekt up by the roots, and the foundation thereof razed; yet the seed which the Lord hath sown there, shall again take root downward, and bear fruit upward, the zeal of the Lord of Hosts shall perform this.
