A Letter from Pembroke, concerning the proceedings of Lieutenant general Crumwell, against colonel Poyer. Sir, THe condition here with us is very good, wee lie now before Pembroke Castle, and have taken a Village which do●● command the town, and part of the Castle, in which wee have placed Batteries, that play into the town daily; I question not but in a short time we shall give a good account of it. The greatest part of our Forces may be conveniently spared, according as the Parliament and the Lord general shall think fi● to appoint. In Pembroke, they are forced for want of Provisions, to feed their Horse and other Cattle with the thatch from their Houses. But for Col: Po●e● 〈◇〉 still stands out on his old principles, not to deliver the Castle; and certifies, that he never had any hand in the business, concerning L●ughorne and P●wel, in that Rebellion lately committed in south-wales, Poyer lies( as is conceived) in great fear of being surprised, and colours the business so in the best nature he can, but all to little purpose. For the business of Tinby C stle, it was delivered to Col. Herton the 31 of May, with●ll the arms& Ammunition, the chief Ringleader ●f this business was colonel Towel, most of these Gentlemen were of south-wales, that were in this Rebe●lion against the Parliament. The number of those Souldiers and Gentlemen that were taken, were 5. or 600. who are now prisoners in Tinby un●er Col. Horton, So desiring to be excused, by reason of my hast, till the next opportunity, I shall continue Your trusty friend T. W. From our Quarters near pembroke this 4. of june 1648. A true Relation of Langdales proceedings in the North, and the Scots intentions to come in to him this present Month of June. SIR, ACcording to your desire, I have se●t you the best intelligence( for the present) which is stir●ing in these p●●ts as in brief is thus. mayor Gen. Lambert doth pro●eede with much gallantry, and is now taking the field, being in number about 7000. Langdales men do decrease from him daily, which is a great encouragement to our party, and a discouragement to him; some say that Duke Hamilton hath disappointed him of wh t they expected. The mayor Gen. Lambert marched this day towards Skipton, and hath reg●ined the Castles Langdale by report of all, hath 16. Troop●s of Horse, and 2000. F●ote, and hath taken a house in the count y of Westmerland which ●he Committee had made the chief Magaz●●e for those parts, wherein were 4 00 arms, and much Powder, yet our Souldiers are not a jot d●unted by reason thereof. Likewise, we have it certainly reported, that the Scots will be with Langdale, about the 15. of this present m●neth of June, except some sudden deseit be given to Langdales forces, before they are u●ited together. Sir, for the present I have but little other news to writ, but God willing, by the next you shall hear further, So in the mean time I remain, Your humble devoted Servant H. W. From york June 1. 1648. A Letter from New-Castle, concerning the proceedings of the SCOTS army. SIR, I Have in these enclosed Papers, acquainted you with the condition that we are in, which is to this effect. The great differences in Scotland, doth retard, yet is not like to hinder an A●mies coming for Engl: and what more encouragement can be given, then that there comes not Force enough from Parl. to suppress the English gathered under Langdale; that the Design goes on, appears in that Barwick and C●rlisle is supplied with arms, and other things from Scotland, L. Lotherdale sent lately 22 horse load into Barwick; its conceived they are well armed in Cumberland, a party from thence last Friday, took mayor Shafto, with 16. of his men, he was raising a Troop of Horse about Beywell, these were surprised by colonel Carnaby, and other of the country that knew the way to them, the mayor is carried prisoner to Carlisle, this is a great discouragement to others that were arming. Langdale had musters about Hetursell, and Grindon, and news is come, that his main body will quarter at Heman this night or to morrow, they may come whither they will, or go whither they will, nothing comes to us wherewith to oppose them. Colonel Lilburne, now with mayor general Lambert, going towards the quarters of Sir Marmaduke Langdale, sa●ed a considerable party of them, but they had no mind to engage. Sir Marmaduke Langdale is still estimated 10000 able fighting men, it is reported he wants money, and will suddenly remove. The third of june, The Commons agreed, that the three Votes be drawn up into Propositions, not Bills, and so sent to Scotland, and they agreeing, they are to be sent to the King, and he to make them Acts before any Treaty, and that done, they are to treat, the Lords agree to this, and also discharge the Lords formerly charged. For pembroke( before which the Lieutenant general is, with colonel Prides Regiment of foot, and Col. deans, Col. Hortons horse, some of Col. Scroopes, and some of Col. Okeyes dragoons) it hath in it, besides what Poyer hath in the Castle, three hundred Gallant Horse, and many resolute foot. Honest Mr. Peters( who was butted in Essex, ●s now risen up in little England beyond Wales) went to the lion, a Ship of the Parliaments, ri●ing in Milford Haven, not engaged with the Kentish men, got from it two Drakes, two De●●y Culverins, and two whole Culverins, with all accoutrements belonging to them, when but two of them were planted, they were let off against the Castle; at the same time was stormed, and some three nights since, a Village adjoining to the South gate of the town, which being obtained, keeps both Horse and Foot in the sown and Castle, that a man dar●s not stand upon either wall to shoot without a blind: which Poyer perceiving, pulled in his read F●agge: Their Horse in the Town make desperate sallies, but not without command of the Guns, and are beaten in, though not without loss on both sides; and their rage is so much the greater, because desiring to come out, it would not bee granted, but upon mercy; They give no quarter to our dragoons, they are so enraged against them for the last defeat of their Army; nor do our Dregoones give qu●rter to any of them: These resolutions joined against a foreign enemy, What glory would they be to England; our Batteries will be finished this night; the Forces before Ten by come up to us, it will then be a round siege, and we hope to give you a good account of th●s Town, and to leave the Counties in good devotion to Parliament, which will, no doubt, continue, if they be severe enough to the ring-leaders, to whom the people are pure sla●se; but if acts of indemnity and favour be shewed to them, or any trust reposed in them, expect new work before Michaelmas.
