Several LEETTERS Of a great fight in IRELAND Near Washford between the Lord Lieutenant Cromwell's forces, and the Lord Inchequeens army.  
SIR,  
ABout five hundred foot, and three hundred horse, which were left at Dublin, for recovery of their health, were appointed by the Lord Lieutenant to march unto Washford, under the command of Major Nelson. The Enemy having intelligence thereof, sent out a party of about fifteen hundred horse, and two Regiments of foot of Inchequins men under the command of Sir Thomas Armstrong, but it pleased God miraculously to deliver, out party out of the hands of the enemy who had a sharp encounter with them, and after a while put them to the worst, and had the pursuit of them above a mile in this fight (on the enemy's party was wounded Colonel Trevor, and his brother was slain and about twenty more on the place, we took about thirty prisoners, amongst which was Inchequeens Cornet, we also taking his Colours, not one Officer was lost on our side, only a Captain of horse was shot in the Leg, and about six private Soldiers slain, This morning we hear, that Owen Roe Oneal is dead, the English Soldiers come in daily from the enemy, The death of General Oneal, is very much lamented among his party, and it is probable, that this business will in a short time, cause a great faction, to arise amongst the Irish, which is all at present from your assured friend.

Another Letter from Ireland.  
SIR,  
I Thank you for your Letter, and am hearty glad to hear of the present recrvits for Ireland. For news here, take it briefly thus, the Kord Lieutenant of Ireland did send five hundred foot, and three hundred horse to go to Wexford, and the Lord Inchiquin hearing of them, sent sir Thomas Armstrong with eight hundred horse, and two thousand foot, to fall upon them, saying, they should not need to fight much with them, for they should find them lie dead under every hedge, but it pleased God, miraculously to deliver these poor men, for the Enemy falling on, it pleased God to strengthen these poor distressed creatures, that they routed the Enemy, killed about 30, and took near 60, with very little loss on our side, thus you see the great mercy of God to us, and I doubt not, but in a short time, the Lord will finish his great work in that nation. So I rest,  
Your affectionate friend I. M.  
A Letter from Chester.  
SIR,  
Colonel Pride is here, and hath three parties of foot coming hither to be transported for Ireland, and I believe they will be about a thousand men, and thou these with three companies of Colonel Moors, and three companies of colonel fenwick's, will make a considerable body: Captain Clarke, captain of the swan frigate that went convoy for Derry, is come back and put into Heland, and writes me thence some relation he hath heard from scotland, that eight great ships should be arrived there, and that colonel King, colonel johnson. and many others are landed, and sixty sail of ships with soldiers, of all which I believe little or no part of it; for I have a Nephew that went over with captain Clark to London-Derry, who sent me a letter, wherein he writes not one word of it. This is all I will trouble you at present.  
November 24, 1649.  
Another Letter from Ireland.  
SIR  
SInce my last, I received Letters, confirming for certain Cork and young hall have declared for the Parliament of England, and they hope the most part of Munster will be gained without shedding of blood.  
I hope your distractions are at a period, and if so, I doubt not but by the blessing of God, in ear longer the adversaries boasting spirits will be quieted. We are now treating with Waterford, and in a short time I hope to give you a good account of it: many of our Officers are dead. That arch sea Pirate, captain Plunket was taken, with two prizes, but himself escaped in a long boat, his ship had thirty six piece of Ordnance, and came into our harbour before he was ware, three prizes more were taken in the River near Duncannon, before we withdrow our Army thence.   

Imprimatur,  
JOHN RUSHWORTH.
