MORE JOYFUL AND Happy News from Ireland.  
ON the 29. of March, the Earl of Ormond, and the Lord Moor, etc. marched from the City of Dublin with 4000 men, and 6 Field-pieces, towards the City of Cork, they having in telligence, that 13000. Rebels had besieged the City, under the Command of General Donmadoff, but by God's gracions Providence they were presented; for the Earl of Ormond gave Command, that Sir Richard Grenvile should lead the Avantguard of the horse, consisting of 300. To the Avantguard of the Horse were joined these foot Companies, to wit, Colonel Binleys' Guard, led by his Lieutenant, consisting of 300. and 50. foot; after these marched the Regiment of Sir Charles Coot, consisting of 3 English Companies.; after these marched the Regiments of the Earl of Ormond: first his his own Companies, than the Lord Jones his Companies, next the Lord Moor, in all accounted to be 3000.  
The Battle was commanded by the Lord Jones.  
The Reet was commanded by Sir Charles Coot, and Sir Richard Grenvile, the Army consisted of 40000. and upon the 1. of April, our Army had a great Battle with the Rebels, who consisted of 13000. men, which lasted for the space of 3 days; but at last, the Rebels seeing their men fall down so fast among them, retreated back, thinking to escape by fly, were pursued so close by our light Horses, that they lost in all to the number of 5000. men, of our Party 800. we also obtained 14. Colours, 4. Field-pieces, etc. such a victory they have not had since the Rebellion.  
The Battle being ended, our Army returned home with great joy and triumph, and intent to go forth again upon the 13. or 14. of this month. (God willing.)   

Another famous Battle fought by Sir Richard Grenvile, Captain Barrowes, and Captain Ogle, April the 3. 1642.  
Upon the 3. day of April, Sir Richard Grenvile, etc. marched towards, the City of Kildare, with 1000 men; but they had Battle given them by 300. Rebels, and after a long and tedious fight, the Rebels fled; in this Battle were slain 1400. of the Rebels, with very little loss of our side.  
The Earl of Cork and Colonel Monro hath given given the Rebels another great Overthrow, hard by Kingsaile, and hath taken two Castles from them, but the Rebels increase in abundance, and receive Aid and Ammunition from foreign Parts daily, and commit most wild and cruel Outrages upon the poor Protestants, whersoever they come.  
We want both men and money; for we can hardly get any to pay our Soldiers: Yet are they well content with what they have behaving themselves very well, and fight against our Foes with most puissant Courage, the like were never known; The God of Heaven send us many such Victories, that the Rebels may be suddenly subdued.  
The Lord Precedent of Munster, and 1500. English hath given the Rebels a great Overthrow before Kildare, and slew two thousand of them.

The last Saturday, the Lord Moor; and Sir Henry Titchburn sallied out of the town, and fell upon the enemies, and drove them out of their trenches, and raised their Siege, slew above 350. of their men, and took many of their Chief Officers, and have relieved themselves bravely, and took 150. of their Muskets, and a field full of Pikes, we having lost, as some affirm, no men. Here are some of our Captains come by Land, so that this News is true.  
Upon Monday our forces went out, four thousand foot, and 500 Horse, they are already within 5 miles of Tredagh, by the way, Lieutenant Colonel Read came in to our men, and submitted, if he had not done it, he could not have fled: he is sent hither, and lodged in the Castle I do believe we shall now get good store of corn out of the Country, which will keep the price from rising, Our men are not expected home this week, pray God keep them safe. Sir Rhilomy O Neal was in the Battle, but was fain to fly.  
With my true love, I rest, Your affectionate Friend. R. Hunt.
