The landing of PRINCE CHARLES, And the Duke of YORK IN The Isle of Jersey, with the Lord Hopton, and 300. other Lords, Knights and Gentlemen, convoyd by 2, Statesmen of WAR. THe Prince of Wales since his long and tedious journey from his Native Country, hath with his Council at St. Germane in France (●ouching the next place of his arrival) had several consultations, (having stayed there longer than welcome) after which consultations he with his brothe Duke of York, the Lord Hopton, and 300 other Gentlemen of quality betook themselves to hover for a time at Sea, intending for Jersey, where they are (as the news is come) for certain landed, being convoyed thither by two Statesmen of War, of 35 pieces of Ordnance. It's conceived their intention and Resolution is to be speedily in Ireland, and farther after they shall see cause. From Dublin. Letters say that the Lord Lieutenant is marched with his whole Army toward Trehah, it being first to be attached, the Governor thereof being Sir Arthur Ashton, formerly Governor of Reading, an old Soldier, & one famous for making good towns and did one once against the King of Sweden to his admiration, this town is fortified as well as his, and as all the Ingineers Ormond had could do it. The chief Governor must besiege it on both sides the water, whether he storm it as was his usual way in England, or make a fotmal siege by entrenching and approaches time will show, its mineaqle in most places, the sudden and easy carrying this place will faciliate the whole work, if this prove hard, the rest it like to come of so, If any ask why North not South first, it's anfwered, that there is good reason for it, for the better accommodation by Sea, who will keep out any thing from the besieged, and furnish the besiegers with food, as to serve them with Biske, Beer; etc. Sir, Our Armies being at present not enged as we can hear I can inform you but little more for matter of News, only, we have for certain, that since the advance of the Lord Leiutenant Crumwell, divers come from Inchiqueene, and that Col. Wentworth is come with 50 horse and men, and there hath benn the like attempt at Drorhedah, but not so good success some being taken and executed. A Letter from Chester Sept. 9 Sir, In my last I gave you the glad tidings of the Lord Governors landing in Ireland, since which we have not been acquainted with much action in those parts; but the best news at present as we hear is the return of some ships from Dublin since the landing of the Lord Leiutenant who specify, that the Lord Governor marched on Saturday last from Dublin, it's generally believed he is marched towards Tredah, and the Letters say, They hope it is taken by this time, and that they question not but that before this comes, to hand their will be some action, and further say that they do not believe the enemy's strength so great as they brag off. We also hear that divers of Prince rupert's men do often desert him so that he hath not Seamen with him, to man above 3 of his best ships, But there are not yet come any letters from our Navy before Kingsale. since the late great winds By Letters from Scotland, it was this day certified, That some Dan●s ships passed by the Islands of Orkney, towards Ireland, and Isle of Pharoe, one of the ships belonging to the Parl. of England chased them, & some of them ran on the Coasts of Scotland. That on those Coasts in Scotland, lie 2 Armies, one for the Kirk, and one for the State, who look for the landing of Forces from Montrosse, whom they hear is gathering of Forces in Denmark and Sweaden, by himself and his Agents to come against them, yet some of the Scots Soldiers were very abusive. From Yarmouth came thus, that Captain Coppin with the Greyhound set at liberty a vessel that had been taken by 4 Dunkirk men of War, who after turning out all her men, putting only 5 into her, were sending her to Ostend, he also chased an Irish Frigate a long time, but the wind being extreme high, and the storm increasing he was forced so let fall all his sales, or he had been over set, but he see her hover on the sands, and its thought she got not off again. This day we had Intelligence that the Garrison of Oxford was in some distemper being seduced, partly by the discontented people of the Levelling faction, and partly by the Cavaliers who drive on their interest by complying and fomenting their discontents. The Soldiers there have drawn up certain Proposals, The substance is, for a new Representative, etc. These men are now quelled, and the house having notice thereof, and that certain Agents from London are apprehended, who had blown up the min●s of these poor souls into thoughts of being restorers of their Country, who know how to settle the Nation better than ever it was, these are to be called to account, and proceeded against, and a Declaration speedily to go forth for to undeceive. The Soldier's a● Oxford (as we are informed by letters from thence have drawn up eight Proposals to this effesh viz. for the choosing of a new Representative and disolving this, and for electing Agitators. They keep Guards and stop passengers, some talk of parties in other places ready to back them, and their is o Letter intercepted going ●tom a prisone- in the Fleet to the Lorn Cottingtor, wherein he relates that all the hoper of that party depends upon the seeming compliance of his Majesty seems ing compliance with the Levelling party, without whom it is impossible for any of his party here to prove serviceable, unless upon their principles, he writes, That the King's friends increase daily, but have no possibility of acting unless the Levellers lead the way. This afternoon Col. Tomblinsou and Col. Euglisby were dispatched towards Oxford. From high Wickam we understand, that some turbulent spirits affronted the Mayor who imprisoning some of them, with other of their confede ate's broke the prison, and after came dairing the mayor to his face, Sunday Sept 9 The book of Common Prayer was read at Petert Paul's Whar● by one Williams, who not long since was required to forbear by the Lord Mayor, yet still persisted in that course, for which he was carried away by a Troop of horse, without doing any injury to his person, though some others were hurt in the action. Derby Sept. 9 1649. THe Miners of this County seem much discontented at some proceed of Parl. and especilly in their own business, they have had this week several meetings, and we are informed to draw up a Declaration against the present Authority, upon publication whereof they intent to be ready to maintain with their lives and fortunes, and likewise the Agreement of the people. And if this fire should unhappyly break out, I fear it would not be easily quenched, but prove to the ruin of the whole Nation, which the Lord prevent, and incline the hearts of all to justice, love and peace. Windsor Sept. 10. The Major of Wickam complained lately to the Governor of this Castle against some of the Soldiers, that offered many incivillities, and high affronts to him; some whereof he had but the day before committed, and the prison door broke open by the Levellers coming that way, The Governor resolved, and hath promised him all the assistance he can against them if they come the next Market day; and than it is possible they will be snapped. FRom Oxford came thus; Sir, The Levelling party doth much resort ●o these quarters, since this Garrison hath revolted from the Parliament, Horse and foot come in night and day in great numbers, but we hear that will be soon prevented by some of the Asmies' horse, that are appointed to straighten their quarters. Their Council consisted most of private soldiers at first, but since some head-pieces are come from London to join with them, They talk of other Garrisons that will join with them, and that they doubt not but to have an offensive Field Army before six weeks be ended, we hear they are framing a Remonstrance for the recovery of England's lost freedoms, and for ease of the people from Burdens and oppressions, for obtaining whereof (they say) they are resolved, to hazard their lives and Fortunes. There came further this day that the Soldiery have seized on the 4. Gentlemen sent down to appease them, and that Col. Inglesby himself is secured by his own Soldiers in Oxon, but of this little certain●y. From Scotland we here little of News, only the Committee of Estates are still at St. Johnstons', The King and they can make nothing yet upon their Treaty, the one working upon the others late defeat and the other thinking him stronger and more populously affected then ever, and upon the least turning any of the three Nations shall have as little need of their assistance as they of his affections. A Letter from Chester SIR, Upon the sight of your last, da●ed the 28. of the foregoing month, wherein I received so many extraordinary engagements, and courtesies from you I thought good to answer your desires (therein mentioned) with the best n●wes for present, which is thus, viz. That from Dublin we hear that since the advance of the Lord Lieut. they hear that Inchiqueen is not w●●h O m●nd but only the Lord A●d● and Ormond are together much fearing Owen R●e should fall in their rea●e, And further are informed that there hath been some actioon between a party of the Lord Leiut. and Ormonds near D●●gh●da, th● manner thus, a squadron of our horse b●ing sent ●ut to discover the enemy met (in a narrow passage with a party of the en my, who though more i● number then themselves, yet they resolved to charge them, and at the fi●st the enemy came on with such fury as they were confident of a victory, yet our men wh●●●ng about c●me on with such resolution that forced them to retreat, that th●i● eagernes proud their destiny, in which dispute 6 of their men were killed only 3. of ours received some small h●rt, and as we hear, brought of some of they s prisoners, by my next I am confident nt I shall give you a better accounted of t●e proceed of our A●my, and of their succ sse at D●oghedah. The Committee of Estates are not yet come from St. johnstones, and so the Letter not yet sent to our declared King, we shall not be to hasty in sending, because we expect a speedy answer, and a good: The banished out of the North of Ireland, (whom my Lord of Ards &c. would give money and more to have again) come hither, are to be reduced into six companies, who also will be disposed for defence, and it's but need, in regard of the alterations in Ireland. We shall pass the Winter merrily, and quietly, merrily in regard we shall have French Wines at as cheap price as Scotch Ale to you; quietly, because we have no enemy within: We have nothing to bewail, but the general violation of most of the Commandments of the second table, notwithstanding our Ministers preaching, our public shames imposed upon offenders by the Church, and severe laws that should, and generally are put in execution by the Magistrates. It is Ceported that at the landing of the Prince tnd Duke with the rest they were entertained with many expressions of joy [(from the Lord jermaine)] for his safe arrivill, which questionless they will suddenly they will soon be weary of. We here further that their design is to Proclaim Prince Charles King and to Crown him in Jersey and after to reduce Dakmouth or some such place in the West, in expectation of a general rising. From France we hear the Duke of York came hither on Thursday last and the nexh day was revisited by our King, and the Cardinal, whom he most humbly desired to have compassion on his brother the King, and to give all the aid h● could for regaining his Kingdoms, whereto the Cardinal made answer it could not be now, but when they were in capacity they would spare neither purse nor power, but desired him to ac- of a small present of 10000 Crowns in the mean timr.
