THE DECLARATION AND REMONSTRANCE of the Lords, Knights, and Gentry of the County of CORNWALL, agreed on by the whole County in general: Oct. 10 th' 1642..  
THe Right Honourable ROBERT Earl of Warwick, having received intelligence from both Houses of Parliament of the great preparations that are now making in Holland, and to be sent over into England to assist His Majesty against the Honourable Houses of Parliament, he no sooner had received their message, but he sent four lusty brave Ships to guard the Sea Ports near to Newcastle; And having remained there some certain time, by their Intelligencers abroad, they had information that five Ships lay hover up and down near or about Calais, but they had no sooner received this news, but they presently hoist sail, and took their way towards those parts, but the enemy hearing of their coming, immediately strooke sail and went towards Holland, insomuch that before our Ships could get within sight of them, they were gone; but it is very probable that the Hollanders will make stay of them there; the old Prince of Orange doth labour very much to send Arms & ammunition to the King, but the young Prince is much against the same, and doth daily work to turn his father from so doing.  
Information was given to the honourable Assembly of Parliament that Sir Ralph Hopton hath taken Pimick Castle in Cornwall, and hath strongly fortified the same, having already about 200. soldiers in the same, and it was moreover signified that he hath got at the least fifty pieces of Ordnance, and doth begin to shoot with the same daily, thinking by that means to make the County come in to assist him, but the greatest part of the County stands firm and well affected to the Parliament, and are now resolved to take the same resolution as the men of Manchester did, having summoned the whole County to appear within five miles of the said Castle, and there to conclude on such matters that doth now concern their lives and estates, and as it is supposed they will gather a head and besiege the said Castle: and for the aid and assistance of them, the Parliament hath given order & Command that those two Regiments that are now going towards Bristol and Minehead, and shall go into Cornwall to aid and assist the COUNTY and inhabitants against the said Sir Ralph Hopton, and that the will and pleasure of both houses shall be made known therein; & that their desire is that more Forces shall be raised in that County to aid & assist the Parliaments Forces.  
There was also more letters came to the House of COMMONS from Weston Gate, intimating and signifying that the Marquis of Hartford is in South Wales, and doth daily labour and endeavour to win the hearts of the Welshmen, striving exceedingly to raise those Counties to aid His Majesty against the Parliament, & losing very much of the great strength he hath, saying that he is above 30000. strong, Horse and Foot.  
Thus he doth daily relate to those parts, thinking by this means to draw on those that stand as Newters, but it is credibly reported that His Majesty hath not half that number.  
Prince Robert doth now begin to declare his Resolution, concerning his residence here in England, and it is supposed that if His Majesty would but give way to it, he would soon return to Holland.
