London Printed by E. E. 16461
FOR the Rebels proceedings in Ireland, wee hear little ſince the laſt only that they increaſe, and that a Siege is feared at Dublin, to prevent which, great preparations are made, and care taken to mend the workes and take in ſuch ſupplies as is needfull; Digby is gone to Water ford, to treate with the Popes Nuntio: intending from thence to paſſe beyond Sea, probably to act their deſignes; we heare that they are glad there that he is gone out of the Citie; it being ſaid, that had he not come thither (by all likelyhood) there had been an agreement betweene the Parliament, and the Marqueſſe of Ormond before this.
For newes here in Northwales it is thus, Major Generall Mitton hath had a poſſible deniall at Conoway caſtle, and hath given order to prepare to batter it. Farliſh caſtle will ſtand or fall with the other 3. it being more conſiderable, by reaſon of thoſe within it, then of the place it ſelf.
The Major Generall after a long capitulation with Salisbury, the Governour of Denbigh caſtle, hath agreed to have it ſurrendred to him.
I hear that there are in Denbigh caſtle, of Denbigh only one piece of Canon, which was made in the caſtle ſince they kept it againſt the Parliament, and but few Armes, nor any great ſtore of proviſion. There is with Mr. Salisbury, ſir Wil. Gerhard, and ſome 20 Officers, or thereabouts, and about 2 or 300 ſoldiers, but few horſe. The particulars you ſhall receive more fully by the firſt opportunity (God willing.) Holt caſtle is parlying, and there is hopes of the rendition of it alſo, but no concluſion as yet. On Friday next we are to chuſe Officers for this city, (God grant that we have good ones.)
Sir, This is all at this preſent, to trouble you, from
1. IT is agreed that the ſaid Towne of Dunkirke, with the Fort of Leon, and all the fortifications, and dependances be reſtored to his Highneſſe, by the ſaid Marqueſſe D•- Leden, on Thurſday next the 11. of this preſent moneth, in the ſame condition that all is at preſent, by 7. a clock in the morning, with all the Ordinance, and Ammunitions of warre, and of worth, that are in the ſaid Magazines, of the ſaid Towne, and in any other reſerve whatſoever; for the defence and conſervation of the ſaid Towne: At which hower ſhall iſſue forth of the ſaid Towne the Mr. De-Led•with the Sargeant Generall of the battle, all the Collonels, and Officers, and generally all men of warre that are in the ſaid Towne, and Fort Leon, both Horſe and Foote, with Armes, Baggage, Matches lighted, Cullers flying, and Drums beating, and 2. Peice of Ordinance without any let or moleſtation under what pretence ſoever; and that they ſhall be conducted the ſame day (in all ſafety with a good and ſufficient Convoy) to Newport.
3. That on Wedneſday next the 10. of the ſaid moneth, at 6. of the clock in the after noone, the gate of the ſaid Towne, called Newport Gate, ſhall be delivered, and put under the power of his Highneſſe to be kept by his forces, which he ſhall appoint for that purpoſe.
3. And (for a more eaſy execration of the preſent treaty) it is agreed that there ſhall be (from this preſent time) a generall Ceſſation, betweene both parties, untill the ſaid day (viz.) Thurſday the 11. During which time there ſhall be no ſhooting neither from the one party, nor the other: And that all the forces ſhall (every one) remaine in their quarters without working, advancing, or having any communication, but ſuch as ſhall be permitted by (the generalls of) both parties.

6. It is likewiſe agreed, that all Officers and ſouldiers of the Navy, and admiralty, the Councellers, Officers, and other ſervants of the Catholick King, (which are in the ſaid Towne) may go out with the ſame liberty.
7. As alſo the ſaid Marqueſſe De-Leden ſhall have liberty to march out with 2. Peice of Ordinance aforeſaid, and 6. other ſmall peices of Cannon of the Baron of Lamboyes Army, with their Horſes, Charets, Officers, and Servants.
8. That all the Inhabitants of the ſaid Towne (as well Eccleſiaſticall as others) of what quality, and condiſſion ſoever they be, ſhall be concerned in their Eſtates, Priviledges, and Franchiſes, (which they have hitherto enjoyed) without any new charges or impoſitions.
9. That all (as well the ſaid Inhabitants as reſidents) in the ſaid Towne, that ſhall be willing to go forth, with the ſaid Gariſon, or 2. moneths after, may do it freely without any interception, with all their moveable Eſtates: And 2 yeares ſpace granted unto them to ſell their moveables, and diſpoſe of them, as they ſhall thinke fi•.

14. And for the entire execution of the preſent treaty (which by our faith and peroll we engadge) there ſhall be given (this day) for Hoſtages, from the Sir Marqueſſe De-Ledens part, one Collonel of the Kings, another of Lamboyes, A Captaine that commands the Spaniards: two Burgaſes of the Magiſtrates, and one Officer of the admiralty: And at the ſame time that the gate of the lowne ſhall be delivered into the hands of his Highneſſe, there ſhall alſo be given by his Highneſſe (for Hoſtages) 2.

EEBO-TCP is a partnership between the Universities of Michigan and Oxford and the publisher ProQuest to create accurately transcribed and encoded texts based on the image sets published by ProQuest via their Early English Books Online (EEBO) database (http://eebo.chadwyck.com). The general aim of EEBO-TCP is to encode one copy (usually the first edition) of every monographic English-language title published between 1473 and 1700 available in EEBO.
EEBO-TCP aimed to produce large quantities of textual data within the usual project restraints of time and funding, and therefore chose to create diplomatic transcriptions (as opposed to critical editions) with light-touch, mainly structural encoding based on the Text Encoding Initiative (http://www.tei-c.org).
The EEBO-TCP project was divided into two phases. The 25,363 texts created during Phase 1 of the project have been released into the public domain as of 1 January 2015. Anyone can now take and use these texts for their own purposes, but we respectfully request that due credit and attribution is given to their original source.
Users should be aware of the process of creating the TCP texts, and therefore of any assumptions that can be made about the data.
Text selection was based on the New Cambridge Bibliography of English Literature (NCBEL). If an author (or for an anonymous work, the title) appears in NCBEL, then their works are eligible for inclusion. Selection was intended to range over a wide variety of subject areas, to reflect the true nature of the print record of the period. In general, first editions of a works in English were prioritized, although there are a number of works in other languages, notably Latin and Welsh, included and sometimes a second or later edition of a work was chosen if there was a compelling reason to do so.
Image sets were sent to external keying companies for transcription and basic encoding. Quality assurance was then carried out by editorial teams in Oxford and Michigan. 5% (or 5 pages, whichever is the greater) of each text was proofread for accuracy and those which did not meet QA standards were returned to the keyers to be redone. After proofreading, the encoding was enhanced and/or corrected and characters marked as illegible were corrected where possible up to a limit of 100 instances per text. Any remaining illegibles were encoded as <gap>s. Understanding these processes should make clear that, while the overall quality of TCP data is very good, some errors will remain and some readable characters will be marked as illegible. Users should bear in mind that in all likelihood such instances will never have been looked at by a TCP editor.
The texts were encoded and linked to page images in accordance with level 4 of the TEI in Libraries guidelines.
Copies of the texts have been issued variously as SGML (TCP schema; ASCII text with mnemonic sdata character entities); displayable XML (TCP schema; characters represented either as UTF-8 Unicode or text strings within braces); or lossless XML (TEI P5, characters represented either as UTF-8 Unicode or TEI g elements).
Keying and markup guidelines are available at the Text Creation Partnership web site.
