<HEAD>A BLOODY FIGHT IN The NORTH on Munday la&s;t, <HI>July</HI> 17. 1648.</HEAD>
<OPENER><SALUTE>Sir,</SALUTE></OPENER>
<P>_I Wrote to you by Captaine <HI>Li&s;ley,</HI> but could not get time then to &s;end you the Copies of Duke <HI>Hamiltons</HI> letter to the Major General of the 6th of July, dated at <HI>Annan,</HI> and of his an&s;wer thereunto but I doubt not but you have &s;een them both ere this time. Since which, upon our certaine information that the <HI>Scots</HI> were in <HI>England,</HI> the Major Generall &s;ent a letter to the Duke, and hath received an an|&s;wer from him, a coppy of both which <HI>I</HI> have here inclo&s;ed &s;ent you.</P>
<P>The <HI>Scots</HI> and <HI>Langdale</HI> together, we heare are a|bout 12000. the Duke commands in chief both <HI>Eng|li&s;h</HI> and <HI>Scots.</HI></P>
<PB N="2" REF="3">
<P> We have &s;ent for &s;uch Forces as we expect out of the re&s;t of the Northern Counties to come up to us, which we hope will not be incon&s;iderable, and will not be long before they come to us, and when they come, we &s;hall, I think, vi&s;it our enemy, unle&s;&s;e wee have command from the Parliament to the contrary.</P>
<P>With my Lord Dukes Trumpet came another Me&s;|&s;enger with a large Declaration from the Committee of E&s;tates in <HI>Scotland,</HI> and from the &s;aid Commit|tee had lines to the King and to the Parliament, and many private lines directed with ciphers, which that key perhaps may open, We have &s;ent an Officer with the &s;aid Me&s;&s;enger, and have &s;ent all the private lines inclo&s;ed together to the Parliament, with the &s;aid ciphers, By which we think there will (if they be wi&s;e in di&s;covery) appeare much of de&s;igne&punc;</P>
<P>We hear there were much di&s;content among <HI>Lang|dales</HI> Forces in regard the Scots would doe little, and put the Engli&s;h to the duty, and front, and them&s;elves lye behind, which the Cavaliers would not be gull|ed in, and therefore made the Scots march in the Van.</P>
<P>Upon the advance of the Scots towards <HI>Penrith,</HI> Major Generall <HI>Lambert</HI> having no Garri&s;on therea|bouts, retreated to <HI>Appleby,</HI> where he gave order for the &s;ecuring of the Ca&s;tle, and to make good the Towne with what &s;ecurity might be.</P>
<P>On Munday July 17 Major Generall <HI>Lambert,</HI> or|dered Collonell <HI>Harri&s;on</HI> to keep a pa&s;&s;e at <HI>Appleby</HI> bridge, with a Guard of Hor&s;e, and put in a Regia|ment of Foot into the Towne, and &s;ent the re&s;t of the Foot of his Army to quarters Southward, and &s;ix
<PB N="3" REF="3">Regiaments of Hor&s;e were ordered for their out-guards,</P>
<P>That day Duke <HI>Hamilton</HI> with the Scots Forces, and Sir <HI>Marmaduke Langdales</HI> joyned together which made about 12000 marched up towards <HI>Appleby</HI> with their whole body.</P>
<P>The Scots came up about noon that day with their van, within a few miles of <HI>Appleby,</HI> and their whole Army following in a body.</P>
<P>They had a De&s;igne to have then &s;urpri&s;|ed our Forces in <HI>Appleby.</HI> But the waters were &s;o high, by rea&s;on of much raine; that had lately fallen, that they could not come over the brooks as at other times.</P>
<P>Collonel <HI>Harri&s;on</HI> charged the Scots at <HI>Apple|by</HI> townes end, and led on his men him&s;elfe about two of the clock in the after-noon, but the Scots came &s;o thick upon him that he was exceedingly overpowered.</P>
<P>And at la&s;t (after a valiant and &s;tout charge) they had &s;o hemmed in Col. <HI>Harri&s;on,</HI> that he was forced to &s;urrender him&s;elf pri&s;oner.</P>
<P>But his Souldiers &s;eeing them&s;elves like to have no quarter by rea&s;on of their cutting of Col. <HI>Harri&s;on,</HI> rather then to &s;ee &s;o gallant a
<PB N="4" REF="4">man put to the &s;word, they re&s;olved as one man to die pre&s;ently rather then to &s;uffer it.</P>
<P>Hereupon they fell upon the Scots with &s;uch re&s;olution, that they &s;lew divers of them and re&s;cued Collonell <HI>Harri&s;on</HI> from them. And by that time the Foot in <HI>Appleby</HI> Town having taken an Alarm, came up, and reliev|ed the Hor&s;e, whereby the Scots were beaten off, and after this 60 of them were &s;urprized in a Barn, all put to the Sword by Major Ge|nerall <HI>Lamberts</HI> forces. This fight la&s;ted un|till ten of the clock at night, there having bin many &s;lain, and wounded. And at la&s;t, the bu&s;ine&s;&s;e was &s;o ordered, Col. <HI>Hari&s;on</HI> made an honourable retreat, having left a &s;ufficient &s;trength in <HI>Appleby</HI> Ca&s;tle, which it is hoped will be &s;ufficient to keep out the Scots.</P>

<OPENER><SALUTE>SIR,</SALUTE></OPENER>
<P>ON Munday la&s;t Major Generall <HI>Lam|bert,</HI> did for ea&s;e of his men and their Quarters, &s;end a great party of his Foot, and &s;ix Regiaments of Hor&s;e from <HI>Appleby,</HI> about
<PB N="5" REF="4">foure or five miles. Afterwards, that day the Scots army &s;uppo&s;ed to be about 10000 joyned with <HI>Langdales</HI> Forces, endevoured to have &s;urprized our forces at <HI>Appleby,</HI> where Col. <HI>Harri&s;on</HI> and onely one Regiament of hor&s;e had the guard that day. But the wa|ter being up by the raine which fell on Sun|day la&s;t. Col. <HI>Harri&s;on</HI> &s;ecured the Bridge, and &s;ent parties both hor&s;e and foot over the Bridge, the enemies Dragoones played &s;ore upon our Fort. The fight la&s;ted from about two of the clock, till neer ten at night, with extream hard &s;ervice, but the enemies cou|rage was &s;o cooled with the round check which the <HI>Lanca&s;hire</HI> men gave them at the fir&s;t charge, after our men were relieved; that the Scots continually fled off with lo&s;&s;e: God gloriou&s;ly appeared for us, we lo&s;t not above 3 or 4 men, the Enemy very many, and abundance of Armes. Col: <HI>Hari&s;on</HI> is &s;ore wounded, but as is reported to me, not mor|tally, my intelligence &s;aith further, that the Enemy fought very cowardly, threw down their armes and run away, and night com|ming, the enemy drew off, and lodged on a
<PB N="6" REF="5">Moore, our men at break of day marched a|way to joyn with our other forces.</P>
