THe Rebels have done much harme in the Country of Calway , in the province of Conog where they spare no cruelty to any Sex , estate or degree whatsoever , and that even upon the Lords day : on which day if they are not shedding of bloud , they have meetings of playes , gaming , pastimes , bag-pipes , drinking , and abominable venery , and wantonnesse in every place where they come . Vpon St. Andrewes day last , being the 30 of Nov. 1641. there pitched about the number of 300 Rebels in armes neare Logreags , and Artaure , who marched with Spanish Cullors , and Armes in their Antient , and 100 more pitched neare Temenage , who hovered up and downe about the woods and villages thereabouts , seeking an opportunity to worke their wicked designes . Their intent was ( as it was conceived ) to march to Vort Omnie to surprize the Earle of Clanrickards house , and to take away , and overthrow his forces ; which consist of an hundred horse , and as many foot , which is the best strength thereabouts : but it seems that their intent was as well to surprize the Castle of Logrags , and the Fort of Callway also , as well as the forces of the said Earle , but they were preverted at that time . The said Castle of Logerage , and the Fort of Calway were in great danger to have beene betrayed into the hands of the Rebels , by some popish souldiers , with certaine popishly affected Gentlemen and Marchants that were inhabitants there . They conspired a plot with the Rebels , in which plot they intended a bloudy design in cruell manner , against the Castle , Fort , and townes thereabout , wherin had they accomplished their designes , they would , as it is justly feared , bin as cruell to the Protestants there , as they are in other places thereabouts . To contrive this Plot covertly and suttlely not to be taken notice of , they had contrived a way to strengthen themselves with Ammunition from France , for there were there enhabiting certain Marchants , whose ships were come from thence laden with salt : The comming of which ships , as it doth appeare , were an Item to the Rebels , to give them notice of the time , which caused them then to march into those parts , as it is conceived . These ships being laden with salt , were presently gone about to be unladed , to which Office , were picked out by the Marchants , such who they thought fittest for that secrecie : yet were there discerned by the Officers , to bee brought from the ships , muskets and swords : which being discovered to the Protestans there , the matter was further sought into , and it was found , that there were brought over from France , buryed in the salt , beside the said muskets and swords , divers other Ammunition for war ; brought over , as is conceived , for to strengthen the Rebels against the Protestants , or at least the Papists thereabout to assist them in the betraying up of those places into their hands by the said forces , by which meanes , both the Fort and Castle , and all places thereabouts were in great danger . About this time , the ships being well nigh unla-which was about St. Andrews day , as before , the rebels marched about these places , where they began to insult and fall upon the people , putting many to the sword , so the Protestants at Callway , & therabouts , seazed on the Ammunition , and strengthned themselvs : whereby they fell upon the Rebels , and there was a great battell fought between them , which wrought a great feare to all people thereabouts : but there came in good ayd to the Protestant side ; so that in that fight they received not much hurt , onely somewounded . But of the Irish rebels there were taken twenty , which were sent to the States to be censured , and above an hundred slaine , and wounded so sore , that they are not likely to live , and the rest returned backe againe , and fled for their lives to another part of the running Campe . The next day they returned againe with a greater Force , but marched two or three miles from Logrags on the other side toward the Earle of Clanrickards againe , against whom they have long conspired , and they marched so furiously in the night , that they were come to the said Earle of Clanrickards before they were taken notice of , or their returne known : so that in the morning ere they were aware , the house was beset with the Rebels , who began to pull downe the walls , and discharged against the house , which they could not come neare , because the wall is so large about the house , so the forces of the Earle prepared themselves , & came forth against them ; but the Rebels being too strong for them , slew about 30 of their company in a short space , and discomfitted the Lord and his company exceedingly , so that they were all in great feare . But it pleased God to send them up reliefe from the town , & some other Protestants that came in from other places thereabouts to relieve them , whereby the Rebels were so beset on a sudden , that they were faine to flye , and take the woods . The Names of the most notable Agents in the Plot . Are Teg Borke , Gentlemen . Darmod Okelley , Gentlemen . Iohn Lench , Marchants . Thomas Athie , Marchants . Francis Kinvin , Marchants . The Earle of Torent is in great danger to be surprized ; for there is great wait laid for him by an Army of Rebels , that came out of the Country of Corke , and the Country of Lymbicke : but wee hope that they will not be able to prevaile against him : for he is strongly fortified with 100 horse , and 300 foot , who are provided for that place where he is , who guard the Castle , and are appointed for the defence of the Towne . The Names of the chiefe Rebels in those parts , are Gatell , Markardy Duffe of Bendaffe . Daniel O donoham of the Lepo . The other part of the Rebels doe march towards Kingsale Castle , and the New-fort , which may prove of the most dangerus consequence of all , in case they should once be setled there ; for from thence they can soone have wealth , ammunition , and reliefe from Spaine , which is much suspected , and feared , for that is the chiefe Castle of all the Westerne parts of Ireland for strength , and conveniency , and lyeth upon the Sea-coast , where reliefe may come in from Spain with little trouble , which God prevent them of . The Rebels tooke Sir Thomas Sevell , and hanged him upon a tree in his own grounds , and cut his flesh in pieces , carrying pieces thereof up and downe in their hands , saying , this is the flesh of one of the R●lers against our holy Father the Pope . These , and such like , are the miseries of that Kingdome of Ireland at this time : God in his mercy send them comfort . FINIS .
