CERTAIN INTELLIGENCE FROM IRELAND.  
Worthy Sir,  
I Having not Intelligence of this Bearers going for England, until this very instant, do hope that you will excuse my Brevity, to give you an account of the Passages and occurrences of these parts, answerable to that short tract of time which I have allotted to expatiate myself in. It is like to be a most miscrable time with us here, if that we should not be speedily relieved with more force out of England; My Lord of Muskrey exspecteth to be King of Munster, and intendeth to beleaguer Cork, and this Fort: But we care not a louse for him nor for all his Forces. All the Papists in Jreland are up in Rebellion and have sworn and articled to die in this quarrel; There is not an Enghlish man in all Ireland, that hath a Cow, Sheep, or Chick left, but what they keep under the command of a Castle, or walled Town: and by reason of words made known to me, that some of my houschold did hear some of my Tenants say, I was willing to withdraw my Estace and Goods from my House at Ballinrea: for some of my Household, ask some of them what they would do now, in respect of that rebellion that now ●●s in Ireland, they, answered them, they did intent to join themselves to the strongest side. After which Information given unto me of such speeches falling from their mouths, I had taken all that I had from Ballinrea, and intended to quit the Castle, but that I was betrayed by my own Tenants, and lost my Wain and Oxen, and other things, but to no great value: But they are taken by such neighbours of mine as I wished might take them, because I hope to have their Lands for it.  
To morrow I intent to ride out and to carry a Troops of Horse to Ballinrea, where I intent to hang and burn most part of my Tenants: and I intent before I return to have a flirt at. Carby of Balea.  
The next week my Lord Precedent will plant a Piece of Battery against his Castle, which Piece I am now making ready to that purpose: thus time calling me off, for the present I am constrained to forbear any further Recital of what is here Novall:  
I rest: Your assured Lordship's Friend, A. M. from the fort of Cork, March 11th. 1641.   

NEWS FROM ABOUT DUBLIN TREDAM AND KILKENNY  
WE have 4000 men, and 500 horse that are now marching up to a place called Jallow-Hill, where the Rebels do make us believe, that they will bid us a battle: But we can scarce credit it, that they will be as good as their words, we rather think they will not abide the shock, when it comes to trial. For they are very much afraid of our great Guns. We have six small pieces of Ordinance, and 2. great Pieces: and they do not love to hear the roaring of the Cannons; our Cannoneers playing upon them with our great Guns is a dismal sight to them.  
There hath arrived here from Bristol, 500 Men, and 1000 Men are come over from Minyard, and my Lord Precedent of Munster, came down to meet them, and went along with them up to a place called Killkenny which was in the hands of the Rebels, and he with his forces set upon them and forced them out of it; and the English and Protestant forces have slain of the Rebels, nigh 2000 and taken 60. Prisoners of good Rank and Quality.  
Also within 5. Miles of Tredah, or thereabout our forces set upon the Rebels and slew many, took my Lord Nettersfeild, and Colonel Read, which Read perceiving how hard it was like to go on their side, seeing his men drop down so fast in earnest, thought it good policy for him to drop down amongst the slain in jest, and thereupon he fell down and did lie still among the Soldiers that were dead: that so they might think him to be dead also and pass him by, and thereby he thought, when he had opportunity, to make use of his legs to save himself. But one Soldier among the rest of our Soldiers, seeing so goodly a fine Belt upon a Gentleman's shoulders lying on the ground, and probably thinking that the Belt might be his, as well as another's if he were dead, he did make trial whether he was dead or no, and gave him a good kick with his foot on the hinder parts: the Gentleman having his sense of feeling quick, lying down rather upon policy then impotency, got him up, and away he ran with all the speed he could, but all to little purpose, for he was quickly taken, and is now fast. Also Philom Oneale was put to his shifts, and necessitated to escape over into a field of furses, and it being known that he had made an escape that way, they set the field of furses an fire, and so they ferrited him out: but he did steal away in the smoke, and whether he is yet taken or no, we have no certain Intelligence.
