Good News from IRELAND.  
THe 28. of June we set sail from Deal, the 29. and 30. we had along the Channel most miserable weather, & were of several Ships of our several designs 70. sail; by contrary winds, our fleet was forced into Mount Bay in Cornwall the first of July, and the 2. of the same we set sail from thence towards Ireland, but through a crewel mist, and stress of wind, we were almost brought upon the Rocks of Sille, and was within a stones throw upon them (with a full sail) ere we perceived them, and that by one man was spied also, this was at two of the clock in the morning, when every man (but the watch appointed) was asleep, the report of two Guns which were shot by us to warn the rest of our fleet, wakened us sleepers, than did we perceive how great a danger God delivered us from; upon the fourth of the same, we made two sail of Ships, and bore up to them, and found one a Fleming, the other a Bristow-man, both laden with salt from Rochel, who told us that at Rochel was an Irish vessel of some 50. Tun, laden with Amonition, who as they thought only stayed till all the English, and the Dutch were gone from thence, and they then would venture forth 〈◊〉 that there were two small men of war Irishmen, that were upon buying up the French and Spanish prize, some eight pieces of Ordnance, and so take what English t●ey could, that might be to weak for them; and so either that they may furnish themselves, or by that disfurnish 〈◊〉 both which will be but little God knows. The 〈◊〉 of July we got into Kimsaile, though in most mi 〈◊〉 〈◊〉 weather, where we had the knowledge of my Lord precedent of Munster's death, and some things suspected, to have had foul play form his Physician his son: The 〈◊〉 In●●…quin hath had a great conquest, for with a few men he killed, 500 Rebels, took 6. Colours, 4. Drums; the Rebels five several ways undermined Limbrick-Call, and at last were Masters of it, now that the Town and Casstle is theirs as yet, our two longstay, lost it; for they kept it till Midsummer. I hope we shall go upon some design suddenly, that will conduce much to out prosit, and honour; the rebels lost seven score Arms, the other day to my Lord of Insiquen, and their want of that, was more loss to them by report, than three thousand men, so few they have of Arms. I question to God's blessings in our Conquest: they call us the Parliaments Rebels, and say they would once feign see a pressed man come over. I have not else at present any thing worth your observation.  
Friday the 16. of july, we marched from Kimsaile to Bandum with nine Colours, two of which were all Seame●, sever of Land-men, and all, some seven hundred; from Kimfaile to Bandum seven miles, which shown their joy in meeting us and complelating guarding us into the Town, whom we saluted both by displaying Colours, and also a full valley shot: well billeted we were, we had on the Saturday following two Companies of Foot of these Bandum men, and some sixty Horse with many others, which they called and we found Pillagers, who only minds in all Actions their game, but considered not our loss.  
From Bandum we marched with these aforesaid to Cl●nna-kellie, and sound in the town not above twenty men, women and children, which our troopers killed all and ranged about, and found some hundred more hid in gardens, and killed all; there might you have seen every sex discovered, and some lying on their backs, old, young, none spared: at some sights I could have pitied, but consider that pity spoils a City; I durst not cherish that charity. From Clannakelltie on the sunday forenoon we marched to relieve Raple Barley-Castle, some three miles from thence, where one Master Freak lives in much distress for want of help, we found him yet well: but I should have told you moreover that our Lieutenant Colonel Lord Fuerbrush in our march from Clannokelte to the Castle, considered the booty we had taken, which was some eighteen hundred sheep, some two hundred Oxen and Cows, and some fifty Horse; he thought good to send three Companies back from us, to guard them at the Town; they went, and the Enemies had notice of it, and by three Scouts had notice of their strength, and came upon them; one of our Captains was somewhat refractory, and would not hear of retreating to any place of succour; valour, but not discretion, was cut off Lieutenant and Ensign, with some forty more, but did sight very valiantly to the last, and his Ensign with some Soldiers in the one part of the town retreated into a house, and suffered himself and Colours to burn, and arms also, rather than the Rebels should have them: the Captain's name was Weldon, his Ensign one Bridges, my Lord Furbrush his Secretary also. Some six of the Bandum men were killed besides, and some four of Captame Price his Company, which was one of the three; but of the Rebels was killed some six or seven hundred men, and many more would, if they were not so base an Enemy to run away; for after we had sent these three Companies back from us to the Town to guard the Castle, while we went to relieve the Castle, never came to us (the Major Patys) to let us know that the Enemy was near our three Companies; we left some aid with them in the Castle, and marched back to the Enemy, in great hope they would have stood one onset, but they basely fled, though six nay seven times our number; which I believe was well near four thousand men: we also fast pursued them with our Troop that they embraced death to shut it; for one hundred Rebels leapt into the water, hoping to scape, but our Horsemen so eagerly followed them, that they in the water killed most, and one of our Troopers was in the exploit drowned, not giving his horse way enough.  
That night, we marched back some miles beyond the Town (where we lost our men) and lodged in a fair field, the enemy I think being fled far enough from us. To Bandum on Monday at night, we came and stayed all Tuesday there, and that day drove all the Cattle, which was some 2000 into the Town, and let whose will take what he could get; for our Souliers and the Townsmen, were so unruly that they would not have patience to stay till they were parted equally. Wednesday the 20. we marched to Kilbrittan-Castle, now in possession of the English, and quartered there all night, and the next day we marched some three miles beyond it, to Temoleague-Castle, and sounded a Peal to the Lady of it; offered quarter, but refused, we presently fell upon it, and with our small field pieces, broke down the first wall, entered in the first gate, where they paid us with great stones, killed some 8. men, and when all was done, we could not take it, for our field pieces were to small to batter down the Castle about their ears, which I hope we shall ere long; for we shall march thither again one of these days better provided: We burned all the Town, and their great Abbey, in which was some thousand barrels of corn: we expected the Enemy would have come and set upon us there, but he did not. He is treacherous and cruel in advantage, but base in flight. If the other Army were come, I believe we might march through the Kingdom: on Friday we marched back to Kinsaile to our Ships, and took two Spies by the way, but the rogues slight death, for we could get nothing out of them; so our men mangled them to pieces.  
And received here the 29. of July 1642. from Isaac Jones, brother in Law to Alex. Pallington.
