Very
joyfull
News
from
Ireland
,
read
in
the
Honorable
House
of
Commons
,
and
commanded
to
be
immediately
Printed
.
Master
John
Hawkredge
:
I
Have
written
by
the
two
last
Posts
,
and
now
I
have
gotten
a
lame
hand
;
but
having
good
News
,
it
shall
trot
to
impart
it
unto
you
.
The
last
Saturday
the
Lord
Moore
,
and
Sir
Henry
Tichbourne
sallyed
out
of
the
Town
,
and
fell
upon
the
enemies
,
and
drove
them
out
of
their
Trenches
,
and
rais'd
their
siege
,
slew
about
350
of
their
men
,
and
took
many
of
their
chief
Officers
,
and
have
relived
themselves
bravely
,
and
tooke
150
of
their
Muskets
,
and
a
field
full
of
Pikes
,
we
having
lost
,
as
some
affirm
,
no
men
.
Here
are
three
of
our
Captains
come
by
Land
,
so
that
this
News
is
true
.
Upon
Munday
our
Forces
went
out
,
4000
Foot
,
and
500
Horse
;
they
are
already
within
5
miles
of
Tredagh
:
by
the
way
,
Lievtenant
Colonell
Read
came
in
to
our
men
,
and
submitted
;
if
he
had
not
done
it
,
he
could
not
have
fled
:
he
is
sent
hither
,
and
lodg'd
in
the
Castle
.
I
do
believe
we
shall
now
get
good
store
of
Corn
out
of
the
Countrey
,
which
will
keep
the
price
from
rising
.
Our
men
are
not
expected
home
this
week
,
pray
God
keepe
them
safe
.
Sir
Phelomy
รด
Neal
was
in
the
Battle
,
but
was
fain
to
fly
;
and
that
was
not
like
to
serve
turn
,
so
he
hid
himselfe
in
a
Furs-Bush
.
With
my
true
love
,
I
rest
:
Your
affectionate
Friend
,
Raphael
Hunt
