A LETTER Certifying the Prince of Wales His Arrival at Yarmouth, with nineteen Sail of Ships, and store of Men.  
SIR,  
ACcording to my promise, I shall as often as may be, given you such intelligence as we have at the Leaguer.  
This morning a Trumpeter went into the Town about the Exchange of Mr. Ashburnham for Sir William Massam; the chief thing in difference about this Exchange is, those in the town would have the Lord General give Mr. Ashburnham a Pass to go whither he pleaseth, and they say, they will give one to Sir WILLIAM MASSAM to go all England over.  
We have cut off all their pipes for water, by which means we have not only prevented them of good water, but have furnished ourselves with good store of lead; they have very little water in the town but what is muddy, or annoyed with dead horses.  
The Common Soldiers have now lived upon horseflesh, for the most part, five days together.  
The other night they roasted a whole horse at one of their Courts of Guard: the Foot are very merry at it, but the Troopers are discontented for the loss of their horses, not knowing how to get others, nor well liking the service of mowing with their new devised long scythes, which weapons are put into the hands of such as were Troopers.  
They turned forth to graze under the walls about 40. horse, which our men fetched away; they are altogether unserviceable, for that they are almost starved.  
The Lord General being desirous to gain this place without shedding any more blood, (if it be possible) thought of a device to let the Soldiers in the town to know what was thought hitherto to be concealed from them, viz.  
That if they would deliver up the Lord Goring, the Lord Capell, the Lord Loughborough, and some other of the chief in the Town, the rest should have Quarter and Passes to go to their own houses: and Papers signifying thus much were sent into the Town upon the head of an Arrow, of which we hear nothing yet.  
To morrow we expect the other great pieces and the Ammunition from London to come up to us, and then you will hear more, if they yield nor before, which can hardly be expected, for that certain intelligence is come, that the Prince and the Duke of YORK are come to Yarmouth with nineteen sail of ships, in which are thought to be about 2000 men; some of them landing near the town, were set upon by a few of our horse which were there, and after a little fight with them, we took seven prisoners, the rest getting into the town, from whence a party of Townsmen issued out, and rescued the prisoners from us, and placed a Guard at the Turnpike.  
There is great division in the Town, some are for the Prince his landing there, and others against it; but we may guess by this act of theirs in rescuing those prisoners, which side it is that is most prevalent, and what we may expect further from them; the design of the Prince his coming thither is undoubtedly for the relief of Colchster, (if possible) for it is not above two days march from thence: Colonel SCROOP with eight Troops of Horse and Dragoones is ordered by the Lord General to march from the Leaguer towards Yarmouth, and attend the motion of the Prince, if he land with any forces there, with whom it is said a thousand of the Norfolk Foot will join, and if need be, we shall spare more Forces from hence, and yet be able to make good the Leaguer.  
Letters from Major General LAMBERT certify, that he is come to Bows, and Duke HAMILTON at Applebey, they have had several skirmishes in parties, but not many men lost on either side: Yorkshire Horse, and a thousand of Lieutenant-generall CROMWELL'S Foot are by this time joined with him, and being thus united, he will be in a very good posture to give the Scots and LANGDALES Forces a Field fight. I pray let him hear from you by this Messenger, that is  
From the Leaguer 25. July, 1648. Your assured Friend, W. C.
