More Gallant news FROM IRELAND  
SIR,  
Upon the order sent hither, from the Committee for the affairs of Ireland, directing, that we should make the strongest diversions we could, to entertain the Rebels, that they might not have leisure to prejudice the Garrisons under the Lord of Ormond, and upon his lordship's desire, that we should alarm them, by sending out parties into their quarters, tho our soldiers are naked, and the Officers miserably poor, and destitute of all means, y●t rather than any inconveniency should arise to the public, it was resolved by some of the Officers of the British Forces to send out 2 parties several ways, wherein some of us only could be drawn to this service, and of the forces in the Counties of Down and Antrim, there marched out in this party, under the command of Colonel Conway, son of the Lord Clanboyes, Sir John Clotworthies, and Col. Conwayes' Regiments of Foot, with the horse of Col. Hills Regiments, and those belonging to the 3 Regiments, and some other of the troops consisting in all of about 800. Horse and Foot. who having no means for carrying of victual, or victual for any continuance, the Foot took ten days' meal on their backs, and marched as far as the County of Meath in Leimster, the Counties of Monaghau and Cavan on the Borders of Ulster, and fell on a party of the Rebels beyond Carric-Mac Rosse, being five Foot Companies, and two troops of Horse, who were so suddenly surprised, that they made very small resistance, but quit their posts, & betook themselves to their heels, and in the pursuit divers were killed; but they being fresh, & acquainted with the bogs & passes in those parts, and our men weak & weary, could not perform any great executions upon them, but took and brought away 7 or 800 lean cows, and 200 small Garons, and some sheep, of which our hungry soldiers soon made havoc of, whereof they could not in reason be restrained, having no other means to give them the least satisfaction in, but the remainder of our purchase, which being distributed amongst the soldiers and officers that were abroad, was a very seasonable relief to them; but those at home in their quarters will be necessitated to fall on the cows of the Country, their stock of the last years Harvest being quite spent and devoured, and the inhabitants themselves will grow so desperate, that seeing all is like to be gone, they think it but reason to take a share of their own. They have waited with much patience on the effect of our Commissioners solicitation in hope to be eased of their extreme oppression.  
But what we have labouted to spare them in, our fellow soldiers of the Scots Army are taking from them: for it seems here being reports spread, of the dismission of that Army, their Officers are exacting 3 Months assessment together, which is so insupportable a burden, that they are weary of their lives.  
And indeed▪ it is a most compendious way to bring our miseries to an end, for we must quit the Country for aught I see after all the miseries we have endured, in preserving of it from the Rebels, who will be found troublesome to England. God's will be done, we cannot make brick without straw, though we would undergo any burdens, so we may be rendered serviceable to this cause. We have heard nothing yet of our other party of the Lagan Forces, who are marched out under Col. Mervin, about the time ours went abroad from these quarters, and have been 14 days abroad busied in Conaught, as we have been towards Dublin, and after a short refreshment, our Officers are resolved upon another march, with a stronger party, which we hope will prove a good means of security to the Lemster Garrisons, though it be a great wasting to our poor soldiers, who want shoes and all other necessary accommadation for such service, which gives them as much discouragement, as the Rebels are lifted up, to see supplies of men and money come over so slowly, being informed, that the Divisions in England, are greater than they have been at any time since these troubles.  
The pirates 〈◊〉 so busy in our Northern Coasts, and about the Isles of Scotland, that our Fishermen and barks are like to be in great danger to be taken (as some have been already) unless some of the Parliament small ships be appointed to lie on these Coasts, to prevent the daily intercourse betwixt the Rebels of Ireland and th●se of Scotland. Thus having given you a short account of our affairs, I rest  
Your affectionate friend and servant, H. J. Belfast, 10. May, 1647.
