A True RELATION OF THE Chief Passages IN IRELAND, From the 25th of April, to this present.  
SIR,  
I Thank you for your intelligence, which to repay, I have sent you the truest, and certainest of ours, for which we have great cause to glorify God. As soon as more forces come over, I am again the third time to march forth with the Army.  
april the 25. THE Lord More with one hundred and fifty Troopers, and a hundred Dragooners, went towards the Navan, burned the Rebels quarters round about it, came within Musket shot of the Town; took my Lord Gormastownes best horse, with saddle and furniture, and his man as he was scouting abroad.  
The 26. Captain Murrow in coming from, and returning unto Tradarth, killed forty Rebels.  
The 27. Sir Henry Titchburn sallied out of Dundalk with two hundred Musquettiers, and a hundred horse, besides Pikemen, came to a little Wood, called Babes Wood; and perceiving some Rebels to be therein, encompassed it with his horse and Pikes, and sent in the Musquettiers, who killed many of them in the Wood; some like Blackbirds got up into trees, were there shot and killed, the rest that fled out were most of them killed by the horse: They killed within and without the Wood above a hundred and fifty.  
The 28. Forty Troopers and threescore Dragooners sallied out of Tradarth into the County of Lowth, and about a place called Clonmore, they killed above forty Rebels. The same day they pillaged Barnwell of Rabescuts' house, whence they brought abundance of good pillage.  
The 29. Markham the Vintner, and Hill his Kinsman, and about ten Troopers more, with twenty Cars went abroad to get pillage hay; and betwixt Rickhenhore and Kilsouhan, which is some 7 miles hence, were suddenly set upon by Dudley Bern, who had at least threescore horse and a hundred foot; they killed Markham, and his man, and Kinsman, and four or five Troopers, besides ten or twelve Carmen.  
The 30. About one a clock in the morning, Lieutenant Colonel Gibson with his Regiment went to Bullock and Bray, killed some, and brought into the City eighteen Rogues, who are committed to Prison. The same day three or four hundred Rebels came before Mellifont, three or four miles from Tradarth, where Lord More had left on Tuesday before a Garrison of fourscore foot, and about thirty horse; the Rebels played hotly upon them until the horse were ready within; but as soon as the horse were in readiness, they with the foot sallied out, and killed about thirty of the Rebels.  
The same day also six or seven of our Soldiers went from their Garrison of Dunsohla Castle, about four miles hence, abroad pillaging; entering into a protected house; the woman of the house gave intelligence thereof to some Rogues near hand; who came suddenly upon them, killed three, left one for dead, the rest escaped.  
April the twenty seventh, being Wednesday, my Lord Lile, Lord Digby, Lord Folliot, Sir Charles Coot, Sir Richard Grinfield, Sir George Wentworth, and other Captains, went with four hundred Troopers, and a hundred and twenty Musquettiers, and fourscore Dragooners, and thirty Firelocks, on horseback, under Lieutenant Coale, marched forth; and on Friday following relieved Castle jordan; on Saturday they burned Phillipstowne, and took the Fort, killed some, and hanged four and twenty Rogues.  
May the first. The day following being Sunday, they relieved Castle Geshil with Victuals and Ammunition: Here they found no resistance, they returned back the same day to Phillipstowne, and from thence to Castle jordan, where they lay that night.  
May the second. The next day they marched to Trim, a town of great importance, on the River of Boyne, which place they suddenly surprised with the loss of one Firelocke, and some six or seven common Soldiers wounded. Of the Rebels were slain about threescore. The Lord Lile, Sir Charles Coot, and the rest of the Captains stay still in Trim, having yesternight sent a Convoy of fifty horse with Letters to the Lords Justices, desiring some forces to be sent unto them, to leave there in Garrison.  
From Munster we hear that Rathgogan Castle which hath been a long while besieged, is lately relieved by Captain William jephson, and Lieutenant Downing; at their return Sir Edward Fitz-Harris intended to have intercepted them with five hundred of the Lord Roches tatterdemalions, but Captain jephson drew them from their strong fastnesses into the plain champion, where he killed their Captain, and two hundred and forty common soldiers, and took the Lieutenant and Ancient prisoners.  
The fifth of May News came from Dundalk to the Lords Justices by Captain Cadogan (who came thence through Maday with ten Horsemen only) that the Newry was not only retaken by the Lord Conway, and Munroe the Scots Commander, from the Rebels, but also that the Town and Castle of Carlingford was taken by a Ship that came from Knockfergus, their policy was to put up the Spanish colours, which the Rebels discerning, sent a fisher-boate with ten or twelve of their Commanders to go aboard the Ship, supposing that some Ammunition was come unto them; but the Captain of the Ship instead of showing them any such Commodities, clapped them up under decks, and so landing his Musketeers, they took the Town, which they of the Castle soon perceiving, fled away, and left both unto our forces.  
The Narrow-water Castle was likewise soon after taken, in which they found the old Viscountesse of Evagh, daughter of the old Arch Rebel Hugh Earl of Tirone, Sir Edward Trever, Sir Charles Poynes, Captain Henry Smith, and several others that were taken prisoners at the beginning of this insurrection, and close kept in the Castle of the Newry, were all relieved, and are now going at their liberty.  
Victuals grow very scarce and excessive dear, which hath forced us to send the greatest part of our forces into the Country to garrison, until we are enabled to march forth; for the enemy is yet very strong, especially towards Wexford, Waterford, and Kilkenny, which Towns he fortifieth, and means to defend to the utmost of his power.  
FINIS.
