Worthy Sir,
I Have here inclosed sent you the summons, with the several Answers and Replies between Coll. Heane, and Sir George Carteret, as also the Articles upon which Elizabeth Castle was surrendred the 15 instant, with an inventory of what Ordnance, Arms, Ammunitions and furniture of war, and the several stores we found in it after the delivery: there were in it of French, Germans, Danes, Switzers, Scots, Dutch, Irish, English, and Islanders 340, and as proper men as ever my eys beheld; they marcht not forth in the Island according to the Articles, but went by boat out of the Castle, aboard the Vessel provided for them, and the 16 instant set sail for St. Mallo in France, and carryed with them between twenty and thirty horse; they left us under the Castle 7 or 8 vessels, most of which are not serviceable, and truly without vanity it may be said, it is the strongest place in the Parliaments possession, its scituation being at such a distance from the main land; and a firm rock, that all the engines possibly to be invented cannot hurt it, the late Govervour thereof after the Articles were con∣cluded confest, that this Master (as he called him, meaning Charls Stuart) sent him word from France, that he was not in a condition to relieve him; and therefore wisht him to make as honourable terms for himself, as he could.
We have Intelligence by Passengers from France, that the Hunter Friggot of 22. Guns, the biggest that Carteret had for∣merly belonging to this Island is gone for England with an in∣tention to submit to the Parliament; and to that purpose the Seamen put their Captaine (one Lendall) a shoare in France. If French Wine might be Landed in England, I could send from hence both White, and Clarret, if an Order could be procured, 40, 50 or 100 Tuns.
