More good and true news from Ireland, sent from Dublin, by Master Robert Cole Merchant, to his Brother John Cole, resident in London.  
Dublin, the 7. of March. 1641.  
GOOD brother John Cole, I have not written unto you of late, because I wrote at large unto my Mother of the passages here▪ whereof I am assured that you have been made partaker. I have heard of your sickness from London, but I hope that God hath heard our prayers, to restore you again, which I ●●all be glad to hearof. The present news I shall only at present acquaint you withal; This morning is come a Pinnace from Tredagh, or Droughedagh, which place I have often written in my former Letters to my mother, which was besieged by the rebels, and in what manner it hath been relieved, and what combats they have had with the enemy, and what great overthrow they have given the rebels from time to time: they have with the loss of 40. or 50. men, at several times slain 1000 men, with those that have been slain by our shipping within the harbour. And on saturday last, being besieged on the north side of the town, the River dividing the town, by Sir Phealam O Neale and his, company. Sir Henry Tychborne, who is governor of the Town, went forth against them, and gave them a very great overthrow: he put Sir Phealam O Neale to flight, who had a very narrow escape: but Great Mackmahan is taken prisoner, and about 30 more of the rebels. Some of the Neales and Mackmahans have been taken with him, and about 400. Rebels slain. This news is brought to the State by young Sir John Burlacy, captain Byron, and others that came in the Pinnace so now they have one side of the town clear. They cannot want victuals, nor any thing the country can offoord, and they will easily clear the southside towards Dublin; for we are informed, that most of the rebels on this side of the town are likewise gone further into the country: for our Army is gone also abroad: My Lord of Ormond, our Lieutenant general, colonel Hartcourt, colonel Lambert, and divers others went hence, on Monday Morning last, with 3000. foot, and 700. horse, besides volunteers: they went first unto Kilshohan Castle where our Army was last, and that they now took without any opposition. I think we have soldiers lying there, to keep it, for it is a strong place. Our Army burned the houses about it, and burnt Filston: and we hear that they are sins gone from thence towards the Navue, and intend to go unto Trim, we hear that where ever they come, there are none 〈…〉 them, for the rebel's shift to and fro, where they 〈…〉 our Army will not come near them: and that as soon as 〈…〉 any place, they are presently in it again but out 〈…〉 them but cold lodging, for they burn all before 〈…〉, we are ever bound to give God praise and glory for the good agreement between the King and the Parliam●●● 〈…〉 know that a man may have a perfect sight in both his eyes, and yet he may have an enemy behind him that may destroy him, be he● never so watchful: but where there are many eyes round about, there is great hope of security. We find that the unity in England, makes great distractions amongst the rebels▪ the last eastward; y winds made them take such cold heart, that they have been ever since running up and down from place to place to catch heat, and I hope by the next to write you how well our Army have warmed them. At instant I am told of a colonel of them that is now brought prisoner to the Castle of Dublin, taken by our Army, and that my Lord of Dousany is taken prisoner: all which is good news. We hear of the arrival of a great ship at Kingsale, out of England, to guard this coast: they are not a little welcome.  
Munster had some aid out of England the last East wind, and great need there was of it. So I will cease from writing any more news to you at this time, being you shall hear very suddenly from me again, God willing.  
Your very loving Brother, ROBERT Coal.   

The Danes Plot discovered against this kingdom, which was sent to the Lord Burrowes, and divers others, &c.  
My Lord,  
IF it may not seem any way offensive to your Honour, I shall present one to you; which whether you have heard of formerly, or no, I cannot tell, concerning the Danes; who presumed so far upon his majesty's Coasts, as to come within ten leagues of his majesty's Port of Hull, affrighting the people there by their daily report, proceeding from their own mouths; that they were bound for England, to receive satisfaction for some wrongs done them. Whereupon the rumour spreading abroad, through these their threats, intelligence was given to some of his majesty's ships then at sea, being the James, and the Rainbow, there being with them six merchants' ships, who resolved to go and meet them, thereby to inquire the truth of this report: But ere they came near, they perceived a small Company of Dutch ships, men of war, ready provided for an encounter with the Danes; which gave them occasion of beholding the prospect, they begun the encounter about twelve of the clock on monday last, being the 21. of March, continuing fight for the space of two hours very hotly, Van Trump the Dutch, admiral being then present, behaved himself very valiantly▪ insomuch that they sunk many of the Danes ships, ere it was two of the Clocks▪ when having spent much powder and shot of either party, they resolved upon parley, which continued for an hour, wherein Van Trump desired the perusal of their Commission, and to know whither they were bound, the ground of their intents; which being denied, they fell to it again, and continued till it was dark▪ when taking the opportunity of the night, being very cloudy, they fled, but the wind being contrary, some were driven upon the Western coasts of Dorset and Devonshire: Whereas two of them are apprehended at Plympton M●rtes in Devonshire, until the Owners shall be examined. When I shall give your honour real intelligence concerning their profession, if so be they are not sent up to London, to those other Rebels: And in the mean time, I shall rest,  
Your Honours obliged Servant, HENRY WADDAM▪   

Hague, March the 20. stilo novo.  
The copy of a Letter written from Charles de la Fin, Page unto the young Prince of Orange, unto James de la Fin his Brother, Secretary unto the Duke of Vallette, residing now in covent-garden, touching the late proceedings of the Prince of Orange.  
Written from the Hague, in Italian, and translated by William Vmfrevile, Gent. March. 14. 1641. Brother,  
AS I am acquainted from you with the state of things in England, so let me impair unto you some alterations here, that more near to touch us: Grave Henry our Prince, and Master, by some information, from Martin Van trump, the state's admiral, is fallen into some more than distrust with the States, in matter of his proceedings in the Army, their jealousies broke forth into open discontent, upon occasion of a meeting of a great crew of his Commanders at a supper in Flushing▪ upon the arrival of the Queen of Great Britain, where his health being drunk before the Lord's general, the Bourgemasters of the town, took great exceptions at it, giving out that the Prince of Orange was but their servant, and took pay of them, as well as the meanest soldier in the Army; that it was disorderly done, to drink his health before his betters: to whom replied Monfieur de Varasaville, a French captain of Horse; that he trusted the Prince his Master so well understood himself, that having married his Son to the eldest daughter of the King of great Britain, he would scorn to be counted, much more to be termed, the servant of Brewers and Bakers, and feltmakers: hereupon the burgomasters surlily and saucily replied, that taking their allowance, he was either a true servant, or a false traitor.  
Varracaville was rising to let fly at him: and some others were as ready as he; but noise and tumult arising, the governor of the town came in, and commanded all to be quiet, great muttering was in the town, the next two days about it: on the third, the Prince was summoned to the Hague to make his appearance before the state's general, to make answer unto such things, as should by Martin Van Trump, John Van Esterdort be laid against him. His highness took such homely dealing bad, and his servants worse: and his Army worst of all, who summoning a counsel of warr● to his highness' lodging; plainly told him, that except he would, he should not go, and that they should know, that if they had money they had swords, and that they having command of the one, would not be long without the other, and that should shortly appear, hereupon we all, as well servants, as Commanders, took an oath unto his highness, and his son, to serve them towards all, and against all; which taken upon mature deliberation, it was ordered by his highness himself, because of the Queen of great Britain's presence to go to the Hague, but not to take notice of any summons, and with such a company with him, that he should not greatly need to fear them; and here we are in that posture, not caring for those that look so big upon us: I trust the Army is wholly made for his highness; not being desired of their service, but freely offering if: We his servants, and those of my young Masters, are resolved to see our end shortly accomplished, or to die every man of us: I trust there are no false parties in the Army, then before May-day I hope we shall see an alteration: and those that hold themselves our masters, shall be glad to give us all fitting respect: the King of Denmark is assuredly for it, and hath promised both coin, men, and shipping: France hearkens to it, and Spain upon some conditions, will yield assistance; it is more honourable for a Prince to be tied in some ceremonious concernments unto a Monarch, then to any other, either by Democrasticall, or aristocratical Government: more pleasant tidings I hope to write you, at the Queen's return, if not before; for this must not be long in doing, and it is here thought, that she will not stay long here, by reason that these achievements cannot long remain without a period, nor without some bickering, we hold it not fit, she should be eye witness of it: His highness, although he is counselled to send away speedily his young son, and our hope, into France, yet he will not, but is resolved that he shall partake of his fortune, what ever it be; I hope we shall shortly cry, Vivez Oraneye; and in this expectation, wishing Heaven to say Amen unto it.  

Avisoes from several places.  
THe 20. of Decem. stilo novo, arrived at St. Lucar the admiral of the Nova Spania's Fleet, in company of another little small ship, they came in 92. days from the Havana, and were parted by a storm from the rest of the Fleet 12. days after their setting forth. I suppose they may be arrived at Porto Rico, for they had most of them spent their masts. The said admiral was cast away in the going into St. Lucar, of 4. Millions, which he brought, about 1. ½ million lost; the whole Fleet worth 10. or a 11. millions, the richest that ever was known; in the said admiral was lost 500 Chests of Cuchinell, and a 1000 Chests of Indigo, with a great quantity of other goods. I have Letters by an Aviso from Cartagena, dated the 14. of September, wherein they advise that the galleons were ready laden with the silver, and would depart thence the 6. of October. The general of the galleons, named Francisco Dias Pimienta, had been formerly in the month of July, with above 3000. men, and the least of his Ships in the island of Sancta Catalina, which he had taken and carried away all the English, and razed the Forts, wherein they found 600. Negroes, much gold and Indigo, so that the prize is esteemed worth above half a million.  
This unexpected, and undeserved act of the Spaniard, in supplanting our Nation, will I hope ere long be requited, when as in cool blood the Spaniard shall do us a mischief, in demolishing, and ruining that which another hath built; and is not able, or will not make use of it himself, supplanting our more industrious people, which endeavoured to do good both to the bodies and souls of men, and only to show his greatness, with his multitude to destroy a handful, and to account that a victory, which is rather a credulous treachery: but let him triumph that wins at last.
