A GREAT VICTORY OBTAINED BY Colonel Jones, and the Parliaments Forces at Dublin in Ireland; showing the manner how they sallied out of the City upon the Marq. of Ormond, and the Lord Inchiquin, fell upon them near their Trenches, advanced up to their Works, put many to the sword, and beheaded one, which caused the enemy to cry out and say, That the Devil was in the Roundheads, for the taking off of heads. Also the Marq. of Ormond's Declaration concerning Lieut. Gen. Crumwell, and the protestation of the Soldiery thereupon. London, Printed for G. Oreton, and are to be sold near the Royal Exchange in Cornhill, 1649. Bloody News from Dublin in Ireland; containing the particulars of a great Fight between the Prince's forces and the Parliaments, the manner how Colonel forces sallied out of the City and how the King of Scots horse pursued them towards the Gates. Honoured Sir, ON Sunday morning last, a party of the Marq. of Ormonds' horse faced our frontier Guards, keeping a great careering near the City Walls, and making several bold attempts within Pistol shot of our Line, Spurs, and Sconces, which continued for the space of half an hour; till at the last Capt. Cambray (Commander in chief of the new Fort) made a sally out with a party of horse and ●oor, who placed the Musquetiers in an obscure trench, for an Ambuscado; he himself being the Coy, for the calling in and ensnaring of the adverse party; but upon his first advance towards them with his horse, he found it a Work very full of difficulty, by reason that they had used the like point of policp: However, he resolved to dispute the place, and thereupon divided his horse (being 60 in number) into two parties, he himself commanding the one, and Corner lack for the other; Capt. Cambray charged the Van of the Enemies Forlorn, Cornet Jackson flank them, and upon their first charge exchanged ground, with the loss of three men on both sides; but upon their present wheeling, both parties received each other with a second desperate Onset, who with great courage & resolution kept their stations, disputing the place with great gallantry; but at last our men being overpowred (by the coming on of a fresh supply of horse) were forced to embrace an honourable retreat; the enemy pursued to the very turn pikes, where they were soon welcomed by the sons of Mars, both from the mouth of the Canon and Musquer, at which Volley, 7 of them were forced to yield obedience, and one man having his head separated from his shoulders by a Drake shot, his right hand man being somewhat startled thereat, immediately replied, The devil's in these Roundheads for taking off heads. Whereupon the enemy soon deserted engagement, leaving dead and wounded upon the place about 17, of our party five slain and two wounded. Since the enemy's receipt of the intelligence of the Lord Lieutenant Cramwels' designment for this bleeding City, they have somewhat awakened us with stronger all arms, and (as we heat) have entered into Protestation, to live and die, stand and fall together, and to sight it out to the last man, and that upon receipt of the foresaid intelligence, Ormend called a Council of Officers, at the head quarters near Fingles, the result was, whether they should prepare for a storm, before his Lordship's landing, or whether they should begin the City, straighten other Garrisons, take in what they could and then randezvouz and draw into a Body, and give him battle at his landing: Upon mature deliberation thereon, it was unanimosly declared by most of that Popish and Prelatical faction. That if he set footing there they would fight him; in the mean time they would use their utmost endeavours for the reducing of those Garrisons which the Parliament had in possession. But the thing that our Soldiery are most doubtful and dubious of, is, that they fear the enemy will not give them a field upon the additional forces landing, but that they will rather betake themselves to the Bogs and Woods. And although we cannot but represent ourselves in a very sad condition (without timely relief) yet we cannot but exceedingly rejoice at the gallantry of faithful Col. Jones our Governor, under such a state, in his Representation to the Lord Inchiquin; the sum whereof followeth: My Lord, As for that conference by your Lordship now propounded and desired, it cannot be in prudence admitted, espacially in matters of this consequence, and in times when such debatings must needs be dangerous, as being subject to whatsoever constructions and misconstructions also. But so well am I satisfied in the justice of my cause (whereupon the Lords blessing hath dwelled visibly, as I trust it doth) and I am fixed to my just principles, whence by letters and discourses I am not to be removed; and I wish hearty your Lordship had done so likewise. Your Sword hath been (I confess) prosperous, but remember, my Lord, the cause in which you then appeared, the same with this now by us here maintained, against those bloody Rebels. But now is your Lordship with them most unhappily joined, to the admiration of those who formerly knew your Lordship's professions, etc. Our Governor is very vigilant, and resolved not to surrender upon any conditions. By the next I shall impart myself more fully. Dublin 11. July, 1649. A Representation of the proceed of the Royal par●● for CHARLES the second.

One Col. Walton is said to be the Commander in chief of the Royal party, and leaves no means unassayed for the advancing of his young Master's Cause. Liecester 9 July, 1649.
