I Have sent you true Intelligence from Falmouth, one Iohn German comming from Perrin doth report, that two ships are come to the Pott of Falmouth, From the Rebels in Jreland, with-men,
and ammunition, shewing the Kings Broad-seale for their safety; And the Ca∣stle gave two Peeces of Ordiance, with great joy at their arrivall, with menacing speeches against the Par∣liament, and swore the Round heads should pay for all: Whereupon some Captains of the ships, being men of war there, and divers of the Inhabitants peti∣tioned Iohn Arundel Esquire, Governour of Pendennis Castle, asking of him, if he would admit entrance to the Rebels; and told him, if he did, many of them would forsake that cause, for good could not possibly come of it; hee answered them, that he would send to know His Majesties pleasure in that particular; the Rebels that came from Ireland and Falmouth, report, that they look every day for eleven ships from Ire∣land, with men and ammunition, and call themselves the Queens Army; two ships were also going to re∣lieve the poore Protestants in Ireland, and both stopt at Falmouth, the one laden with wheat, the other with malt: Likewise there is one Iohn Burlasse Esquire, a known Papist, hath command of a foot Regiment, and governs the West of the County of Cornwall. More∣over, the said German reporteth, that to the foresaid Port of Falmouth, is come four French ships, landed some Officers and men, being laden with ammunition, and it is thought, that the Officers are gone to the Kings Army; for they presently tooke post from Falmouth, and the said French Officers report, that they expect ten thousand men to be speedily sent over out of France to them.
Your most humble servant to command, Iames Wardlaw.
