A PARTICULAR RELATION OF The present Estate and Condition OF IRELAND: Manifested by several Letters, sent from thence by Persons of Worth WITH A TRUE account OF ALL SUCH Garrisons as have been taken in, and recovered since Christmas last, in the County of Kildare.  
By the Lord avant cromwell general of all the Parliaments Forces in IRELAND.  

Dublin, the 11. of March.  
THE 25. of February, our governor drew out towards the Naas, with 2500. Foot, and 1000. Horse, with which he marched toward the Fort and Castle of Bellisonan, where he arrived the first Instant, summoned the place, upon resusall, planted his Guns, made a breach, was ready to storm, the Besieged sand to parley, and afterward surrender upon Articles, That they should march away with their arms, and each of them a pound of powder, and proportionable Match, which was accordingly performed, and a Garrison of ours settled there.  
The next day he restend his Men; and at midnight marched to Castle Dermot, and from thence sent a Party to Athye, a pass upon the Barrow, of great concernment, and surprised it, wherein were taken several Tories, wherein he hath put a Garrison of Horse and Foot; he hath also taken the Castles of Tymolyn, Ballebeyg, and Kilrush, wherein he hath also placed several Garrisons, as also in Kilmalacke, being the Castle of the bog of Allen, which the Enemy had burnt, and endeavoured to have slighted, upon the rumour of advance from hence, but now is made tenable.  
Upon Saturday last the governor returned hither again with his own Troop alone, having disposed his Forces in our Quarters; our Forces about Wexford have recovered Iniscorthy, and have taken Brownswood by storm, and put all to the Sword.  
The Enemies in the North are very quiet in their Quarters, notwithstanding the trouble their friends are in here, and they stir not to their assistance; they have appointed to choose a general upon the seventeenth instant, but I doubt not but Sir Charles coat will visit their Quarters before that time, and I presume he had before this time done it, had not somethings wanting hindered him.   

Dublin, 16. February, 1649. Right Honourable,  
MY last unto your Lordship of the 31. of January last, wherein I gave your Lordship an account of the then state of affairs here.  
Upon Wednesday the sixth Instant( information being given that five Companies of the Eenemys Foot were come to Roores Court, about eight Miles from hence, on Wicklow side) a Party was sent from this place under the Command of Sir Theophilus Jones, to beate them out, or fight them, but before our party got thither, they demolished all the Buildings, pulled down the very Walls, and fled away into the Woods: We could not leave any Garrison there, because there is no matter of shelter for our men.  
The tenth Instant, Letters from Sir Charles coat at Belfast, brought the news of the reducing of Castle-Doe, in the North-West of Ireland.  
The plague continues at Galway, most of their Gentry have there perished by it, amongst the rest Jefferay brown, heretofore a practisor at Law in England, and Sir Richard Blayne, both prime actors and chief in the supreme council at Kilkenney; and eminent contrivers of the Rebellion are dead.  
Ormond was lately at Portumny with the earl of Clanrickard in Connought.  
captain molineux is arrived here from Wexford, who brings news of our taking of the Fort of Ballihaet, over against passage Fort, whereby all Trade by Sea to Waterford is cut off.  
There is a very great jealousy between the townsmen of Waterford and the Souldiers there.  
The Plague is exceeding hot in Kilkenney. The Tories have so barbarously behaved themselves towards their own party, that the friars and priests have excommunicated them.   

May it please your Lordship:  
THe Lord lieutenant hath lately taken many considerable places from the enemy, as Callan within six miles of Kilkenny, just beyond it, and Cnocktogher, eight miles East from it. he hath also possessed himself of Roscrea, and Thurl●s, since he took Casshall, and now the head Quarter is at Fedard in the very bowels of the enemy. The plague is very hot in Kilkenny.  
colonel Hewson the governor of this place is marched to the siege of Bellisonan, with a very Gallant party, he hath about a 1000 Horse, and 2500 foot, besides Officers, he hath taken with him a demi Cannon, a culverin, and a Demyculverinand a Morter-peece.  
The Enemy were so frighted with the reports of the Ordnance that they have burnt the Castle in the iceland of Allon, Athy, and Mariburg.  
If God give him success in this expedition, and that he take Bellisonan, he will put some men into Athy, and so gain a passage over the River of Barrow, by which means he may join with my Lords Army at pleasure; for Roscra is but twenty Miles from Athy, and no place between them to hinder a conjunction.  
Since the taking of Ballihac in the County of Wexford, Enishkorsee Mr. Wallops house is also yielded up to the governor of Wexford by the same knave that betrayed it to the Irish.  
The Lord of Ormond hath left Leinster to the care of the Lord Castlehaven, and is gone over the Shanon into Connaught. Castlehaven is drawing together all the force he can to relieve Belisonan. I heard lately from Sir Charles coat, all is well and quiet there.  
Since the writing here of I have received Letters from the governor that Bellisonan was yielded to him on Friday night the first of this month, and he is marched towards Kilkena and Athy: my Lord lieutenant has taken Cahir Castle lately, and has laid siege to Tinan Castle; he has blocked up Clonmel at a distance, by putting in Garrisons into all the places about it.  
I have been too troublesone to your Lordship, for which he humbly begs pardon, who is  
Your most humble servant. Dublyn 4. March. 1649.   

My Lord,  
I have formerly communicated to your Lordship my surprising the strong Fort of Blacke-Ditch on the Boy of Allen, and took and garrisoned divers other places thereabouts in the County of Kildare.  
The latter end of the last month wee marched out with what Forces could be spared from the Garrisons hereabout to reduce Kilma●g Castle in the iceland of Allin, Bellisonan and divers other Garrisons in the County of Kildare, which in a short time by the help of God was effected, the enemy upon my motion fired Kilmaoy, Athy, and the Fort of Lease, but my men at Rabride and Blacke-ditch put out the fire seasonably at Cilmaoy, that much hurt is not done, where now I have a Garrison, and hope to make it tenable in short time; I marched forward to the strong Fort and Garrison of Bellisonan with two Guns and a mortar piece, when I came there I had Intelligence of the Earl Castlehaven being at Laughland bridge with four thousand foot, and eight hundred horse, intending, within twenty four houres to relieve Bellisonan, that night I planted my Guns and Morter-peece against the Fort, and the next morning early, began to play about two of the clock, having prepared for to storm, and drawn up our Forces to that end, the governor desired to parley, and upon condition to march out with their arms, delivered me up immediately his strong Garrison, wherein I found four hundred Bushels of corn, and six barrels of Beife, 7 barrels of powder with bullet and Match proportionable.  
Having placed there a Garrison, I sent a Party to Kilrush who presently submitted.  
Another Party I sent to the strong Castle of Tully, who yielded likewise after some small assault.  
I likewise dispatched a Party of foot to Athy, and put a Garrison in the abbey there, which I understood was tenable, and not demolished, and divers other places in that County being Garrisoned, and my fortnights provision being spent which I took out with me, and the wasted country affording no relief, I returned to Dublin the ninth instant.  
Thus my Lord you have an account of the goodness of God going forth with your Forces in these parts, if wee were but supplied with men, money, provisions, and Ammunition( all which is wanting) I doubt not, by the blessing of God, but this Summer would end your Irish wars.  
Since Christmas you have recovered and garrisoned in the County of Kildare,  

Kilmaoy Castle.  
Blackwood Castle.  
Black-ditch Fort, all in and about the Bog of Allin, as also,  
Raibride.  
Ponsiers-Grange.  
Kildare, Tully,  
Grange-begg  
Bellisonan, Bellisax,  
Kilrush and Athy.   
Al these considerable Garrisons, so that now your Interest that way is as larrge and larger than in Lievt. general Jones time, thus far hath the Lord gone along with your Forces, whose presence will scatter your enemies, and give you rest whilst his Tabernacle is pitched among you, and his goodness go before you, his name is near, his wondrous works declares: that his presence may still abide with you and your Forces, shall be the daily prayers of,  
Your most faithful Servant. Dated at Dublin, March 19. 1649.
