SENT BY THE LAST POST TO A friend in London, by a worthy Gentleman. LONDON, Printed for John sweating, June 30. 1642. TRUE INTELLIGENCE from Ireland, Relating many Passages of great consequence. Dublin, June the 9. 1642. SIR Henry Titchborn with some Horse and foot went to Dundalke that day that the Lord Digby was butted, four Colonels bearing up his Hearse-cloath: Also that day news that the Rebels out of the bogs had stolen away a great part of the Cattle from Dundalke. The tenth day at night the Rebels stolen some Horses from us out of the fields near to Dublin. The eleventh day captain palms dyed, a Captain of Horse of good note. The twelfth day in the morning the Rebels on Wicklow side, being in number about 300. Horse and foot, came from the Mountaines, and took from our City side about 300. Horse that were appointed for the Carriages to the Army that was to go out within one day, this was much loss to us: about eight of the clock some troops were sent to recover some again if possible, but could not, so that the protected Papists Horse were brought in to serve the necessities of the Army instead of those taken. The thirteenth day news came, that captain Grimes had with 200. men relieved Carlew in despite of the Rebels that were 2000. Also that day our Horse went out, and brought in store of Cattle from the Rebels, about 600. That day came to Dublin a messenger with a Drum from Sir Philem O neal, from Charliamount with Letters, desiring to exchange the Lady Blany and her Children, for his Daughter, who is with the State here, and it was granted: The messenger boasted much of his Masters strength, not to be believed. The fourteenth day there went out more of our Army, about 5000. Horse and foot, with eight field pieces under the earl of Ormonds command, they marched towards Trim to the rest that went before, how much further they intend to march none knows. The fifteenth day, Marmouth, the earl of Kildares chief house, some eight miles from Dublin, was that night either by craft or carelessness of those that kept it, surprised by about 500. Rebels entering that vast house in the dead of the night, killed about 10. of ours, the rest being about 90. made away, and came to town, leaving all to the Rebels, who fired the house, and either burnt or carried away all that was in it, things of good value. Also this day a proclamation was published, that all protections granted to papists should be of no force after the 24. of this month, in regard of those that had them, having so falsely from time to time killed our men upon advantages( after many mischiefs committed, and much evil complaints) the State is sensible of the evil doings of them. Also news that the earl of Antrem is taken in the North, and a guard set over him in his own house. Sir Richard Greenfield having intelligence of some Rebels at Lints-knock-Castle, about three miles distant from Trim, went before it with a considerable force, in which service the Rebels shewed themselves more desperate then formerly known, for so long as their powder did last, they fired upon our men, killed about 60. besides Officers which were shot, amongst which Lieutenant colonel Kirk was shot in the back with a brace of Bullets, captain Lucas was shot in the arm, and in his thigh, three Lieutenants were slain, yet our men pressing on with fury and revenge, the Rebels seeing all hopes to fail, fired the Castle about their own ears, and so consumed themselves and it together, their number not being above 80. of all degrees and sex. The earl of Castle-haven having had his trial the eighteen day of this month at the Kings Bench bar, and was found guilty of high Treason, who is now at the Kings mercy in the Castle of Dublin. Dublin June 20, 1642.
