The Copy of a Letter sent from Dublin, Novemb. 3. 1641.  
Concerning the late proceed of the Rebels in Jreland.  
SInce the last time I writ unto you, there hath not been any Town taken by the Rebels, but Dundalke, yet there are, and have been divers Robberies done and committed in the Country, this day about 10 of the clock, there marched 1000 foot with complete Arms, and part of two Troops of horse towards Drogheda with 4. Field pieces, and we hear that the Scots in the North, are marching towards the Neury, with 5000 foot well armed, and 4. Troops of horse, viz. The Lord grandison's, the Lord Chichesters, the Lord Conwayes, and the Lord Crumwells', so that we hope we are here all safe, now the danger is passed the Army being on foot.  
Dated at Dublin, Novemb. 3. 1641.   

A True Relation of the last weeks proceed in several Provinces in the Kingdom of Ireland, 1641.  
ON Saturday being the 6. of Novemb. a party of the Rebels were discovered by my Lord Grandison, marching towards a Town called Grage, with an intent to plunder it, but forces being sent under the command of my Lord Grandison, intercepted their passage, being in ambush in a Wood called the Poal Mountye, a dangerous and obscure passage, through which they were to march, for the more privacy, but finding that they were discovered, and that my Lord Grandison was to strong for them, than they seemed to retreat, thinking by that means to draw him out of the Wood, but finding that their hopes were frustrate, they fell on very desperately, to force a passage, when strait the Earl of Barrimore, a Protestant and noble Gentleman, having raised some 500 horse and foot of his Tenants, and friends for the King's service and his own defence, and being marched abroad to see if he could meet with any of the Rebels, which he heard were dispersed abroad in many parts of that County, happened by chance to come into the hearing of their warlike Music, whose noble spirit soon prompted him to engage himself in so just a quarrel, for meeting with some of my Lord grandison's Soldiers that were forced to fly, the Rebels being too strong for them, he was informed of every particular, who instantly Rallyed his Troops, and gave a fierce alarm, the Rebels seeing these unexpected forces, strait began to fly, most of their foot were slain, which were about 800. only their horse escaped the slaughter that were there also, than the Protestant parties with those two noble Lords marched unto Grage, taking order to secure the Town, lest that the Rebels in the night should come and plunder, and destroy it, likewise on Tuesday the 9 day of Novemb. there was a skirmish between a party of the Protestants forces, which gathered together in Dungarvin, who hearing of some of the Rebels that were met upon a Heath near adjoining, with intent to set upon some Village near unto it, these forces issued out, and flew some 50 of them, putting the rest to flight, likewise many outrages more are daily committed by the Rebels in several places of the Kingdom, which I cannot fully relate as yet, only this, the troubles of this Kingdom are great, the multitude of our enemies daily increase, our Forces are but small, but there hath 500 lately landed out of Scotland, and our Forces and theirs are joined, God I beseech him give them a happy Victory.   

A Proclamation made by the Lords, justices, and Counceil in the Castle of Dublin.

Another Letter dated at the Castle of Dublin, Novemb. 5. 1641. sent by the Lord chief Justices of Ireland.  
THe Calamity of the English and Protestants in Ireland is great, and the mischief that the Rebels have done, are many, and so much the more ought to be severely executed, by reason of a Proclamation which the Rebels have put out, commanding all those that are either English or Protestants, to be gone away, immediately after the publishing thereof, or otherwise to take what punishments the Rebels shall inflict upon them, and execute with all cruelty, by cutting of the heads of all those that remain, and by burning their Villages, and putting both man and woman, and child to the Sword, a great number of the Rebels did assault Tredath, and plundered the Town, committing many outrages therein; as namely, they entered violently in a house of Dr. Ushers there, now Lord Primate of Ireland, and carried away 4000 l. in plate and money, but we hope shortly they will be suppressed, for some forces from Scotland, is come to assist us, they are now in the North parts of the Kingdom.
