To the Honorrble William Lenthal Esq Speaker to the Ho∣norable House of Commons.

I Have often imbolden to trouble you with some lines from me, as of Cardiff, &c. But now here arriving one Captain Bruie from Ireland yesterday, I could not be silent, but make known the News: We have from those parts, blessed be our good God, it is good, Capt. Robert Moulton Admiral of the Irish Sea, with ten sail more set sail March 1. from Kingsail with Eight hundred Soul∣diers, and sailed Westward: And it is credibly reported, that he hath fallen on Dingel de-Couch, where at first had some opposition, but at last took it, and found it very rich; but it not being Tenable, they Plundered it, set fire on it, and sailed toward Limbrick, and hath taken a Castle, Mount Raccie, and Lord Tumount, who is now on board the Ships: And our Forces are Fortifying the said Castle; and since their being on Land there, they have taken One hundred and twenty Horse: Limbrick Merchant would very willingly have Surrendred the said Town unto them, but was prevented. The Lord Broghill hath sent Three hundred Horse from Munsler to joyn with them; God in mercy prosper them, for the Enemy hath sent Castle Haven with some Forces that way.

Captain Plunckets Ship hath taken a small Man of War, with six Guns of Barnstble, and a small Frenchman laden with Wines, &c. bound for Galloway.

The contrary winds hinders me with the twenty sail of Merchant men, and Colonel Jephsons Five hundred Horse going for Ireland; we are all ready to set sail the first wind; and had we but another Fleet, and two or Three thousand men to fall on Dublin or that parts, there Page  8is great probability of gaining that City, and doing much on Ireland this Summer. The Lord prosper the work, saith he that is, and so shall remain,
