London Printed by B. A. 1649. A LETTER FROM THE HAGVE Concerning Prince Charles his going into Scotland, and of six thousand Danes to be landed there. SIR, I Received yours this Morning. In your last you request all true news, which now is very plentiful, The Prince is here yet, but his departure expected, and by many longed for: I cannot certainly inform you, whether it be into Scotland, or into Ireland, he is expected at both. Sir George Radcliffe is sent after Gen: Riven, to hasten the Swedish Army into their quarters: there are 6000 men at Necopia, ready to put to Sea, and 1200 at Lo●usia, waiting only for the m●lting of the Ice: and the Duke of Helsigna their General. There is at Hamborough, waiting only for a wind, great store of Soldiers: 6000 Danes are by this time landed in Scotland, bound for England, and Duke of Ho●●t General: 4000 more are daily expected. In the Swedish Army are seven Dukes, nine Marquesses, seventeen Earls, and two or three and twenty Lords. That of the Danes, two Dukes, seven Earls, three Marquesses, and fifteen or sixteen Lords. These are great numbers, and it is to be feared, will do more hurt to our already too poor Country, than they can do good. And yet we must have very many more, as well of the barbarous Irish, as of the beggarly Scot, and the both proud and foolish French. We hear certainly, the peace is concluded on in France: and by an express from P. Rupert, the Prince of Wales is assured of a strong Hold in Ireland; for the two Princes Rupert and Maurice, are at Sea with seventy two Ships, and Frigates, and their Randezvouz the twelfth of March, are to be within nine Leagues of Dublin, at the Castle of Burkley. The sixth of this instant, the Lord of Ormond, General, the Lord of Clanrickard, Lieutenant General; the Lord Ta●●e, General of the Horse; the Lord Muskerry, Commissary; and Inchiquin, and Preston, with five thousand men, to meet Ormond and his fifteen thousand, at Pitmere, twenty miles from Dublin. I'll assure you, this is the Prince's intelligence: and if I could have got the Copy of the Proclamation, sent to the Lord of Ormond, you should have had it; But take the heads. First, he shows, that he hath no desire to commence his Reign in blood, and that he will freely pardon those now holding any Castle or Garrison for the Parliament of England; That he fights only to settle himself in the Throne of his late Father, and a deal to this purpose. This was sent to the Lord of Ormond, by Colonel Buckworth, to be proclaimed as a Pardon to all those that will falsify the trust reposed in them by the Parliament of England. This I'll assure you, but with more alacrity assure you that I am, Hague, March 16. 1648. Your assured friend G. B. Another Letter from the Hague. SIR, THe Prince's departure hence, is all the speech now at the Court, and it's confidently reported (which I think is true) that be will be suddenly either in Ireland or Scotland, where there are eight thousand Danes landed, which is confirmed by an express from General Rivin, to the Prince, who was sent as an Ambassador from him thither, and he not only assures him of their arrival, but also of the assistance of a very considerable party of Swedes, which were to be disbanded, on the conclusion of the late peace with the Emperor of Germany: but God a vert the danger, that our poor Kingdom is threatened withal. Last night, I was with one of the Kings own Servants, who told me certainly, that the Lord of Newcastle, and the Bishop of Derrie, lately made one of the King's Privy Counselors, are employed to Brussels, to nenegotiate for a marriage between the King, and the Duke of Lorraines only daughter, who certainly offers two hundred thousand pounds in ready money, and to furnish the King with five thousand Foot, and two thousand horse, which he undertakes likewise, to pay for six months, if the marriage go on; which he may perform with more easiness, if the peace between the King of France, and the Arch Duke Leopall take effect; if the peace go not on, there will be foul do in Artways, the Archduke being resolved with fire and sword to enter the country, and destroy all as he goes, There is news here confidently reported among the King's party, which I hope will not prove true, it is concerning the strait siege laid to Dublin, by the Lord of Ormond, and his great Army, I believe you have the Articles agreed upon between him, and the Irish, or else I should have sent them to you by this post, there is great expectations from Ireland, and a sudden storm threatens to fall on England. Sir I hope now I have satisfied you in all that you desire, for you desired nothing but news, and you have the truth as near as can be. My own going over will be very sudden, and I hope to find you at more quietness than reports make you to be, which are the hearty prayers of your assured friend, and servant. Hague March, 15. W. B.
