A Letter written from Plymouth, by Lieutenant Colonel Martin, Commander in chief there, to a Friend of his in LONDON: Wherein is Expressed several Victories lately obtained in those Parts, by the the PARLIAMENTS forces.  
SIR;  
AMong all my friends in London, I cannot at present only salute you as well to mind you of your minding us, whom and whose condition I presume you cannot forget; As likewise to inform you of what great things the God of power and mercy hath lately done for us of this place, even since the time you left us. I believe you have heard though not from me, of our beating the Enemy at St. Budiex, since which time in divers small skirmishes betwixt our Horse and theirs, we have put them to the worst, and taken prisoners.  
On Saturday last in the morning, I drew forth 1000 Foot, and about 100 Horse; with these we marched towards Trenmans Jump, but in regard the main strength of the Enemy lay at Plympton, lest they might fall on our rear, I commanded 400. Musketeers with 25. Horse to make good the several ways about Compton with the rest of Horse and Foot we drew up at Hoptons' work, from whence the parties were issued forth; First 145. Musketteeres, under the command of Captain Hals, who with the help of the Horse fell upon and carried the Enemy's Guard at the Jump, before any of the rest which I commanded to second them; where come up they took the whole Guard not one man escaped, which were Threescore and twelve men, and about Fifty Horse, Dragoones and Troopers; with these they retreated, and a little above Knockins Hole were charged in the Rear by two Troops of the Enemy's Horse, which advanced from Warlie H●use, but were by the speedy and resolute facing of our men quickly broken, routed, and pursued above a mile. Here were added to our prisonees 17. and as many Horse. There were taken about 100 Arms, Commanders and Officers, none save two Lieutenant's one Cornet, and one Corporal of Horse. With these we returned, having lost only one man killed by his own Musket some others hurt. Yesterday I sent Captain Hayne with 300. Musketeers over the water to Mount Edgcombe, the particulars of the service will be too tedious. They landed under the Warren, upon which the Enemy left all their Ordnance, which were but two Sacats, and one Demycullvering: When the passage was open, I went over myself, with 20. Horse, set a Guard upon Mount Edgcombe, and by this time Captain Duttue who was commanded to march to Maker Church who had beaten the Enemy there, who indevored to possess the place before him, from thence he followed the Enemy to Milbrooke, which was presently yielded before myself was able to come up, the Enemy pretended a parley whilst their Soldiers got clear of the Town, yet we recovered two Colours and three hundred Arms, three Barrels of Powder, there was only one piece of Ordnance which he brought not off, being possessed of the Town, I sent Captain Chafin to view a great work which they had upon Jusworth point, but before his coming the enemy had left it with six pieces of Ordnance, there I set a strong Guard till the water should come in, whereby we might carry away the Guns with the Cattles which the Soldiers had taken: From thence I marched to Cawson, having appointed Captain Hayne to attempt the Enemies work there, the strength of which I then knew not, when I came I found him parlying with the work, which was forthwith delivered up, in it were but three pieces of Ordnance but an impregnable piece we had not ta'en then to bring away there Guns▪ some of them I caused to be dismounted, there being two others in another little work; but by this time I thought fit to return to the Guard at Mount Edgcombe and sent the dispersed Soldiers there being now with me not above forty foot and ten Horse, after this by the Importunity of some I consented to make trial of the strength of the House, which we did, and fired the Banqueting House, but could not enter, whilst we were thus employed, on the other side the enemy draws up near a thousand Horse and foot against our works, but were beaten back, mean while a strong party of Horse were sent about by Salt Ash, from whence they took the Garrison Soldiers, and with great haste came towards Milbrooke and fell into the work at Jusworth when our Boats which had taken in the Ordnance, Men, and plunder were not half muket short off the shore, I was informed of their coming, and considering the strength of the House and the fewness and weariness of my men and Horses, I commanded their retreat which we made in very good order, when the enemy had got the top of the Hills. I believe we brought over fifty good horses, I could not yet take an exact account of them, near 200. sheep, with a 100 Oxen, Kine and young Cattles, prisoners we took not above ten, besides some Country men which I have since freed, nine pieces of Ordnance, divers of our own men which were kept prisoners in Milbrooke were now delivered, we lost at the House one Lieutenant, three common Soldiers, all which were such as had no calling there. Thus have I given you account of the goodness of the Almighty towards us, I hope these are but beginning of greater mercies: Men from all parts come in to us daily, had we but money to pay them; you can hardly imagine the greatness of our straits for want of it, pray Sir as you tender the welfare of this place, solieite earnestly for a supply for us, we should not want men could we but afford them ordinary encouragement.  
Sir I am your ready friend. ROBERT MARTIN. Plymouth May 16. 1644.   

A TRUE COPY OF A Letter written from Plymouth, May, 16. by a Captain there, to a worthy Minister of this City  
SIR,  
SINCE my last unto You, it hath pleased God to bless our endeavours, and to give us some victories over our Enemies; which I shall here give you a certain Relation of.  
On the 11th, of this instant May, we sallied out into the Enemy's Quarters at the Jump, where they had a guard of Horse and foo●e, they being near 80. All which were killed and taken by our men, with the lose of one man only on our side. We killed an Irish Commander that would take no quarter after we had gotten the work, and the rest we brought away prisoners with their arms: The Enemy then having his alarm in other quarters, gathered together, and followed our men as they retreated: but our men were armed with such resolution, as that they thought it dishonourable for them to come off without opposing them also, which they did with good success. We killed 6. or 7. of them, and took 17. prisoners: In all that day we took 88 prisoners, besides those that were slain, were 60. Horse and about 100 men's arms.  
On the 15th. of this instant, we steered our course another way, and fell over on th' Cornish-side, where it pleased God to give us wonderful success: We landed our men not fare from Mount Edgcombe, where they kept their guards, but upon our first onsett they forsook their guards, and left their guns, and betook themselves to the House, we leaving a party to keep play with the House, drew away a good party further into the Country. We first marched to a place called Maker, where in the Church we had a barrel of Gunpowder, and took some few men, but the rest fled away, some to Milbrooke, and some to Causan-fort; We leaving another party to make good the Church to secure our retreat, matched forward to Milbrooke, where they had a Garrison of about 250. all which fled, and so without opposition of any but the Town, which for fear of plundering yielded upon quarter, we took in it 7. great Guns, and many Arms, 3 barrels of powder, many great shot, which we having sent away marched to Causan and summoned their Fort, which yielded also upon composition, where we had five pieces of Ordnance, and one barrel and half of powder, and some great shot. We could not bring off our Gu●s from Causan, for fear of the Enemy, being on our backs. Then leaving Causan we returned to Mount Edgcombe, and summoned the House, but they would not yield, whereupon we stormed it, took the Outhouses, and burned them and the banqueting-house, but the Main-hous being built in such a form and with stone, was not fired. The night drawing on, and the Enemy being on our backs we retreated, bringing over with us 50. Horse, 100 head of Cattle, and near 200. Sheep, and 3. pieces of Ordnance from under Mount Edgcombe, that played upon the Boats which passed up to Sone-house, we took 12. in all and brought them away. We took this day about 200. men's arms.  
Lieutenant Colonel Martin hath for the present the sole command of the Garrison and carrieth things very sweetly, to the content of all honest men. I am persuaded had he not been here, we had been in a very sad condition.  
We are extremely necessitated for want of Money, pray do your utmost to procure some for us.  

Postscrip.  
We Issued out of the Town one Wedensday the 22. of May, toward Warly House 4. mile out of the Town, where we took 50. Horse and retreated with the loss of 6. men, and upon our retreat their Horse pursued us. Which being discovered a party of our Horse faced about to encounter with them, and fell in pellmell amongst them, and took 6. Horse and men with their complete Arms, the Enemy then perceiving our men to be no way daunted, but rather joyful; and to persist, with courage, they returned again to their Quarters, that we could not see one in 4. miles about, but at Plympton, where we hope ere long to find them.— Added by one who was an eye witness of it, being now in London.
