Exceeding good News from SOWTH-WALES, from that Honounourable Colonel HORTON, of the surrender of Tinby Castle, upon Mercy, Wednesday the 31. of May, 1648.  
Sir,  
A After a long and tedious Siege of this Town and Castle of Tenby, Finding a most resolved and stubborn Enemy; but God did so enable us, that we were no way discomfited. Upon the 14. of May, we Stormed the Town in one place, and were repulsed, than our men fell on a certain Work, where there were some slain, and 30. taken prisoner of the Enemies: presently after this, they did very humbly seek from time to time, whereby they may March out upon Conditions, but our honourable Colonel Horton would give no ear to them, knowing the Serpentine Malvolency of their natures, especially of that proud and insolent Col. Powel, that shameful Apostate, who indeed deserves no mercy at all, but that he should be cast into that Curr●nt of the Fludgate of Justice, and made exemplary to posterity, and to all perfidious villains.  
This nest of vermin did not desist from creeping and crawling, until they were not able to subsist no longer and then they were foret to strike sail, and submit to mercy, and out pleasures.  
On Wednesday last May the 31. 1648, we had an humble suit from this proud Powel, to desire that Noble Col. Horton to take them into protection and mercy: upon which they did freely and willingly surrender a●l▪ both Men Arms, and Ammunition, there are most part of the Gentlemen in Southwales, that were in this Rebellion against the Parliament, and their Army; were the chief Ringleaders and complicises of these base Appostates, as namely, Laughorne and Powel, as I writ you before, there are a great many Gentlemen of quality, there be in all taken of Soldiers & Gentlemen, between 5. or 600 who are now prisoners in Tinby under Col. Horton.  
I praise God the Lieut. Gen. is gallant and well, he hath subdued all the Rebellious party in Southwales, except Pembroke Castle, of which you shall hear more presently, All the Gentlemen of Southwales are come into him, I mean all those that were not engaged, and they hold a very fair, and I believe a real correspondency with him; for the common people that are the Natives of Wales, he did consider they were but a seduced ignorant people, and they have promised never to take up Arms more, but for your arch Caveleering Rogues that were privately invited from London, Worster Chester, and other parts of the Kingdom, merely to haighten the mischief in Wales, they are kept Prisoners, and it is intended the● shall be sent to the West india, for prevention of further mischiefs here. There be several Counties in North-wales that have ass●siated, and are resolved to live and die with the Parliament and Army, a●d all the Gent. of the whole Counties of North-wales hold a very fair Corespondencie with L. G. Cromwell and have recourse to him daily, the L. G. is now before Pembroke Castle, and hath taken a Villedge that doth Command the Town, and part of the Castle, on which we have planted Batteries, which play into the Town daily, I do not question but we shall give a very good account of it very suddenly; the greatest part of our forces are in a Capacity to march, either North, South or East, according as the Parl. and my Lord Gen. shall appoint, because they may be very well spared here.  
One thing I had almost forgot, they in Pembroke are feign to feed their Horse and Cows with the Thatch of their houses; Poyer pretends his old principles still, and doth protest he was not confederate with Laughorn nor Powel in that Rebellion of Southwales: Now he is under the lash, he makes show of these Colours; It is admired by the well affected in these parts, that, that Ordinance of Parl. is not put in execution against all those that shall take up Arms since the delivery of Oxford, contrary to the consent of the Lords and Commons assembled in Parl. or without Commission from his Excellency, Sir. Thomas Fairfax Captain General, etc.  
I pray Sir send me down some of these Ordinances of Parliament, and it were well they were dispersed throughout the whole Kingdom, to the Committees of each County, it would be a great means to prevent the insurrections and rebellions that are in many Counties of this Kingdom; You may imagine my haste by the rudeness of my pen, I love you, and will be your faithful friend  
W. S. From before Pembroke, June the 5. 1648.   

Exceeding good News from Major General Lambert out of the North, from the borders of Cumberland and Westmoreland.  
LAngdale and Musgrave are in a despairing condition, they have betaken themselves to Carlisle, Duke Hamilton hath frustrated them them of what he promised and they expected: Major General Lambert is in a very gallant condition, he is able now to march 7000 into the field, he hath regained Skipton Castle, which was surprised by the Enemy. Langdales' men do melt from him daily, I do not fear before many days, but you will hear of the dissipating of that Enemy: yet notwithstanding, we have some ill news, which may prove to the best.  
Many of the North being ill affected, they did so connive at a party of Langdales that marched obscurely in the night, upon the Moors out of Cumberland into Yorkshire, having some private engagements from some perfidious men that were in trust in Pomfret castle. One morning, there were a certain number of carts, pretending to lay in provision for the Castle, there were some 20 men came in Frocks with daggers and pistols under their frocks, who surprised the Guard; then they had a party of horse with Muskateers behind them which alighted presently, and flanked the horse, and so surprised the Castle.  
june the 6. being Tuesday, Coll. Rich, Major Husbands, with their Horse, and that valiant, and ever to be honoured, Coll. Hewson, fell upon the Enemy that had besieged Dover Castle, where there were some contest, not many slain. Taken Prisoners by his Excellency, my Lord Fairfax Forces, of the Enemy befoe that place of Dover Castle, 300 Men, 400. Horse, relieved the Castle, and made all clear and free, beaten the remainder of the Enemy into Sandwich. This day being Tuesday, likewise he sent a commanded Party of Foot, which landed in Essex, to join with the Commanded party of Horse, under the Command of Col. Whaeley, the appearance of which made the Essex Calves, and the Kentish Elves, run away in the night from Bowbridge, and dispersed themselves into the Country, who are now pursued into Essex, by his Excellency's Forces under the command of Colonel Whaley. June 7. being Wednesday his Excellency Marched from Rochester towards London, and it is thought, will be at Ellton this night.
