<P>THE Rebels having exact Notice how the Kings Army was Encamped, did on Monday 6th. In&s;tant, about 2 a clock in the Morning, with an extraordinary Silence, march towards it, with a De&s;ign to fall upon the Right Wing, where the five Companies of the Kings Royal Regiment of Foot, under the Earl of <HI>Dumbartoun</HI>'s Command, were po&s;ted, and were &s;o near, that the Companies had &s;carce time to form their Battallion, when they were charg'd very briskly by three of the Enemies Battallions, who&s;e Fire they received very patiently, till they were advanced within 30 Paces of them; then the <HI>Scots</HI> Fired upon them &s;o Vigorou&s;ly, that they made them reel; but by the In&s;tigation of their Commanders Rallied again. The Rebells had two pieces of Cannon playing with &s;mall Shot on the Camp all this while, which continued a large half hour, during which time, the five Companies maintained the Fight a|gain&s;t all the Efforts of the Enemies, with the lo&s;s of a con&s;iderable num|ber of men on both &s;ides: At la&s;t the Dragoons came up to the Compa|nies with one piece of Cannon, and the General on the Head of them, encouraging and de&s;iring them to Charge the Rebels, which they perform'd &s;o vigorou&s;ly, that they beat them into the middle of the plain Field, where the Hor&s;e Guards and <HI>Oxford</HI>'s Regiment of Hor&s;e charged their Cavalry. The <HI>Scots</HI> pur&s;ued the Rebels over a great many Ditches, killed a con&s;iderable number of them, took 300 Pri|&s;oners, the 2 piece of Cannon and 5 Colours for their own &s;hare, one of which is the Grand Rebels own Colours, with Motto in Gold Letters, <HI>Fear nothing but GOD,</HI> the fir&s;t he Landed with in <HI>England,</HI> taken as it is reported, by Captain <HI>Robert Hacket.</HI> The Dragoons, and &s;ome of the Kings Battallions of Foot, took &s;everal other Co|lours, and a great many Pri&s;oners.
