An other Letter sent from a Gent. of worth, out of his Majesties Ship the James, to his Friend in London to the same effect.

THe 14 of June, Prince Maurice and the rest of the Kings Forces, were seene to draw off their Ordnance, which encouraged the Towne from a Fort they had on the East side to play sore upon them, so that when the teames were readie to drive a∣way, two or three Oxen at once were cut off and seen to fal which made the enemy (the better to get them off) to storme the Towne in that part, and thereby blinding the view of the Fort by their small shot, had the better opportunitie of conveying their Guns.

This morning the coasts being cleare, we went a shore into the Towne, viewed the workes thereof, and therein the greatest miracle that could be ima∣gined; their paper Fortifications poorly, though resolutely mann'd by weake Souldiers, and the pow∣erfull batteries of the Enemie, and their generall ad∣vantages over all or part of the Towne was throughly viewed and censured, but the observation of the same, from those cruell intendments, cannot be sufficiently wondred at, and as the Towne fre∣quently discourseth, had Prince Maurice but ob∣tained

one Commander of theirs (that is God and their good Cause) he had proved Victor with halfe the force he brought by relation of the Country people thereabout. The Enemie curses the un∣luckie houre of his coming thither, having lost from first to last about 2000. The Towne sixscore with the most.

There came in voluntarily, and with much danger into the Town the other night, one Lieutenant Paire, an Ensigne, Corporall, and 20 Souldiers that were of the Lord Inchiquin's Regiment, and were up∣on the Guard that night, who have demeaned them∣selves very civilly, being readie to beare Armes for the Parliament when they shall be commanded; since that, very neare a 100 of the honestest are esca∣ped away from the Enemies Army, and returned to the Towne offering them their service, their induce∣ments of their comming away, being (as themselves ingeniously confesse) the cursed oathes and hellish acts of the Souldiers, as also the great influence the Irish Rebells and Papists, (whereof there are great store) have upon the Prince and principall Com∣manders. The Towne is wholly employed this day about slighting the Enemies works, the cause of Prince Maurice so suddaine hast away from the siege, is (as we have it from some of their owne men this day taken) some sadding newes they received yesterday by three severall posts of Sir Ralph Hoptons weaknesse, and their misfortunes in all parts.
