<P>IN my la&s;t, bearing date <HI>Aug.</HI> 19. I acquainted you of the defearing of the Scotti&s;h Army, by Lieut. Gen. <HI>Cromwel</HI> and his Forces; &s;ince which time, our Intelligencer &s;aith, he hath had another great Fight with the re&s;t of their. Forces in the North, command|<GAP DESC="illegible" EXTENT="1 letter">d by Major General <HI>Monro,</HI> and the Earl of <HI>Kalender,</HI>
<PB N="2" REF="3">the manner thus. Major Generall <HI>Monro,</HI> and the Earl of <HI>Kalender</HI> being joyned, who&s;e &s;udden conjunction inviteth many of the &s;cattered Forces, and others, to their a&s;&s;i&s;tance, and having a very con&s;iderable Body, advances from the Frontier parts, as far as <HI>Kendall</HI> in <HI>We&s;tmerland,</HI> where they met with &s;ome oppo&s;ition, a party of Lieutenant Generall <HI>Cromwels</HI> hor&s;e charging the Scots forlorn of Hor&s;e, commanded by Colonell <HI>Monro,</HI> the Major Generals kin&s;man, who&s;e deport|ment and gallantry in the Fight <HI>(to give the Divell his due)</HI> were exceeding great, di&s;playing the Banners of <HI>Mars,</HI> and charging quite through our Body of Hor&s;e, his men likewi&s;e fought re&s;olutely, di&s;puting the place with great courage, and maintained their pa&s;&s;es with|out the lo&s;&s;e of the lea&s;t ground. Our men likewi&s;e fought re&s;olutely, &s;trove for victory, and defended them&s;elves like renowned Heroes, but being over|powred, made an honourable retreat with little lo&s;&s;e, the enemy were &s;o galled, that they dur&s;t not maintain the pur&s;uit.</P>
<P>This action hapned on Sunday morning la&s;t about 8 of the clock in the morning, the lo&s;&s;e being equall; on our part were &s;lain 13. and nine wounded, and as ma|ny of the Scots.</P>
<P>We expect a &s;udden engagement between the two Armies, both being re&s;olved to &s;ight, the Scots Army is &s;aid to be about 6000. <HI>Monro</HI> commanding in chief, being re&s;olved to fight, and &s;aith, <HI>That hee will &s;hew Cromwell School play.</HI></P>
<P>Indeed hee hath four thou&s;and re&s;olute old &s;oldiers, which he brought out of <HI>Ireland</HI> with him, who hath
<PB N="3" REF="3">been a long time exercized and trained in the Di&s;ci|pline of War.</P>
<P>But notwith&s;tanding all which, our men feares them not, as appears by the fore-going action, who di&s;puted the ground at great odds and di&s;advantage, and made good their retreat with little lo&s;&s;e.</P>
<P>The Lieutenant Generals Army con&s;i&s;ts of about five thou&s;and, all armed, and well di&s;ciplin'd, the coun|try ri&s;ing for him where&s;oever he commeth, and a&s;&s;i|&s;ting him with all nece&s;&s;aries what&s;oever.</P>
<P>But Generall <HI>Monro</HI> to gain the affections of the Country People, hath made Proclamation at the head of each Regiment, and &s;et forth a Declaration to the Inhabitants, intimating,</P>
<P><HI>That any &s;ouldier what&s;oever that &s;hall u&s;e any vio|lence or injury to any of the Inhabitants, or plunder, or take away any goods what&s;oever, to the value of two pence under any pretence, &s;hall immediatly be tryed by Mar&s;hal Law, and die for it.</HI></P>

<HEAD>A great Victory obtained at Sea, by his Highne&s;&s;e the Prince of <HI>Wales,</HI> against the Rebel|lious Shipping.</HEAD>
<OPENER><SALUTE>Noble Sir,</SALUTE></OPENER>
<P>YE&s;terday we received intelligence from the Princes Navy, that upon the di&s;covery of divers Ships at Sea, Captain <HI>Batten</HI> received Commi&s;&s;ion from his Highne&s;&s;e, to fight with them, and upon Sun|day morning la&s;t, weighed anchor, hoy&s;ted &s;ayl, and made towards them with a gallant Squadron of &s;hips, <HI>viz.</HI> the <HI>Swallow,</HI> the <HI>Constant Warwick,</HI> the <HI>Roe-Buck,</HI> the <HI>Pellican,</HI> the <HI>Blackmo<GAP DESC="illegible" EXTENT="1 letter">e Lady,</HI> and &s;ome others, who upon &s;ight thereof, the Rebels &s;hips held off, and were loath to engage, Captain <HI>ctatten</HI> perceiving this, com|manded forth the Swallow the Warwick, and the Roe-Buck, who after three leagues &s;ayle, came within &s;hot of them, gave them a broad &s;ide, &amp; engaged, in&s;o|much that there hapned a very fierce and tedious fight continuing for the &s;pace of 7 hours, and with great gallantry and re&s;olution; but after an hours di&s;pute, the re&s;t of the &s;hipping came up, and gave the Rebels &s;everall broad &s;ides, &s;inking two of them, and boarded the re&s;t, di&s;puting the Conque&s;t above Decks, killing many, ca&s;ting them into the Sea, the re&s;t cryed for quarter, and &s;ubmitted to mercy.</P>
<P><PB N="5" REF="4">
In this fight it is reported, that the Prince lo&s;t not many men, the enemies were great, above 200. &s;lain, and neeer upon 500. taken pri&s;oners, three &s;hips &s;unk, and four boarded, and &s;ecured, above 50. piece of Ordnance, and great &s;tore of Arms and Ammunition, and other rich Booty, which they had taken from di|vers Engli&s;h Marchants, and others, being all of them Iri&s;h Pyrats and robbers at Sea.</P>
<P>It is reported here, that the Earl of <HI>Warwick</HI> intends to put to Sea very &s;uddenly, and that the Prince is re|&s;olved to fight with him, and hath &s;ent &s;everall &s;hips to attend his motion.</P>
<P>Here is great joy for the Conque&s;t in the North, by defeating of the Scotti&s;h Army, and totally routing the whole Infantry; for it is &s;aid, there actions were mo&s;t barbarous and inhumane, and that the Burthens and Oppre&s;&s;ions of the people were &s;o in&s;ufferable, that no Tongue or Pen is able to expre&s;&s;e them.</P>
<P>O mon&s;trous and inhumane Creatures! who make Religion their Cloak of knavery, and in &s;tead of exe|cuting Ju&s;tice and mercy, pro&s;ecuteth nothing but Bloud-thir&s;tine&s;&s;e and cruelty.</P>
<P>They have divers Agents in the&s;e parts, who have been very active to withdraw the hearts of the Peo|ple from the obedience of Parliament, and que&s;tion|le&s;&s;e, might have been very prevalent and powerfull, had not God appeared even in the nick and height of their de&s;ign, who having bla&s;ted their &s;tratagems, and Hell bred devices, they are vani&s;hed like &s;moak, &amp;c.</P>
