SIR,

THe last night about 12 a clocke we gave a very hot Alarum to the Towne by fiering round up∣on them, and in the meane time fired the Middle Mill under their workes, being the onely water mill the E∣nemy had, and cut the slace to divert the water, and turne it another way, that of the sluce tooke good ef∣fects, so did the fire at first, but afterwards went out, the Enemy took an hot Alarum at first upon this bu∣sinesse, thinking we had stormed, but when they saw it was onely an Alarum they fired very little, we had one man drowned, one killed, and some others wounded.

Late at night also the Generall received a Letter from Sir John Wentworth and Mr. Brewster: dated neer Yarmouth the 24 July 9 at night, signifying that the two Aldermen of the Towne had been a board the ship where the Prince was, and were sent backe a∣gaine to the Towne, but what the agreement was they doe not yet know, so at present they keep out both sides, and further certified that the ships were sailing towards Harrich.

From his Excellencies Tent neere Colchester July 6. 1648.

This inclosed was shot with Arrowes into the town last night before the storme.
