LONDON, Printed for the general satisfaction of moderate men. M DC XL VIII. A Letter from Henly, imparting much good News, Dated July 11 1648. SIR, OUr active colonel, Sir Miles Levesey goes on with much gallantry and resolution, for the reducing of the Cavaliers in these Southern parts, and hath made a fair progress to the business, I suppose you had the particulars already at Kingston, long since; I have here sent you enclosed the Copy of a List of what was done by colonel Scroop at St. Needs on Monday the 10 Instant. Sir Miles Livesey hath taken colonel Coventry an eminent man employed concerning Commissions, from Prince Charles And in his Pocket was found two blank Commissions, nothing at all written, but all blank, and at the bottom of each Subscribed, CHARLES P. 'scended with Prince Charles his seal Colonel Coventry was taken with his Coach and six Horses, Sir Miles Livesey hath sent up the blank Warrants, in which might be written what they pleased that had them. Prince Charles, we are advertised from France, sailed from Calais on Thursday last, and went towards the North of England, as some guessed. But those of better judgements, suppose that he is rather gone towards Holland. And it is the more likely because divers English Officers are gone by land towards Holland expecting to meet him there. The Prince went in a great Dutch vessel with 35 piece of Ordnance. There went also off from Calais at that time five other small ships. There were that waited on Prince Charles and are gone with him, several persons of note viz. Prince Rupert the polsgraves' brother. The Earl of Branford, that was the King's general; Forth: The Lord Hopton (alias Sir Richard Hopton) that surrendered the Horse. The Lord Wilmot, that was condemned to die in the West, with divers others. The Earl of Yarmouth (alias Harry Jerman) returned back to Paris or St. jerman's. The three Castles Waymor, Deal, and Sandwich, are still resolute for the King, and I see little hopes of reducing them at present. But if it please God that they were reduced, and our Neighbours at Colchester in Essex, I doubt not but these Southern parts would be in a good condition. But in the Castles they at present (as we are informed) do rail against the Parliament and Committees. As for colonel Scroop he is still in pursuit of the Duke of Buckingham. When the Earl of Holland saw himself near taken in St. needs he betook himself to an inn, and shut the gates, and they shot some three or four pistols at our men, but the gates were soon broken open. The Earl of Holland then fled into a chamber, and when he was taken in the chamber, he made a speech to the soldiers very short, but the effect of it I have sent you here enclosed, with the List of the particulars. and am Your most humble Servant, Henry Bate. Henly July 11. 1648. The Earl of Holland's speech when he was taken prisoner at St. Needs. Gentlemen soldiers, I Am a Gentleman, and desire you that I may be used as a Gentleman, I pray you let me have quarter for my life, I am your prisoner, and desire that I may be civilly used, And that you will show yourselves soldiers and Gentlemen towards me, I offer you no opposition, but freely surrender myself your prisoner. The soldiers gave him quarter, used him civilly, and delivered him to colonel Scroop who gave Orders to send him away by a Coach, which was done accordingly.
