The Substance of a Letter sent to the Honourable William Lentball Esq Speaker to the Honourable House of Commons . ON Tuesday night last , the forces of Abingdon and Gaunt House , went to Farringdon , and tooke two hundred horse , and sixty foot , and were like to take the Garrison . A Letter concerning a great Victory obtained by Colonell Rossiter , against Prince Rupert and Prince Maurice , neer Belvoyr Castle in Leicestershire . SIR , I Shall give you an account of what intelligence these parts afford . On Tuesday morning we received intelligence that Prince Rupert & P. Maurice were at Banbury upon their march towards Newark , some reported them to be twelve hundred , others six hundred ; Vpon which Intelligence all the horse belonging to this Garrison , being three hundred , and four hundred more which lay at Stamford , were drawn to Melton by Colonell Rossiter , to interpose betwixt the King and the Princes , or to joyn with the Horse and Dragoons under Colonell Manwaring then at Leicester , and since gone to Derby to joyn with Colonell Generall Points . Yesterday morning upon intelligence from Burleigh , that the report of Prince Ruperts comming was false , and the King being returned backe to Newarke , our Horse were ordered to march back to Grantham , no sooner were we marching , but from Leicester we recevied Intelligence that the Princes were upon their march towards Belvoir , we pursued them with all speed , they faced us twice as though they would have charged , but upon our advance to them they run for Belvoir , we pursued them close to the castle walls , took a Major , three Captains , sixty Prisoners , Prince Maurice's Trumpeter , Trumpet and Banner , and about one hundred and forty Horses , we wounded and killed divers , some of quality , the two Princes hardly escaping with about one hundred more . Some of the Officers we have taken , told us that the Princes sent the Lord of Northamptons Regiment back to Banbury , and marched with this small party onely to speake with the King , and take their leaves of him . The King is now in Newark , his Horse quartered betwixt Newark and Welbeck , part of them : and as we hear , Sir Marmaduke Langdale with the rest marched Northward , it is likely to releeve Skipton Castle , Colonell Generall Points is come to Derby , and Colonell Manwaring is gone to him , which I hope will give us a further occasion of sending to to you , Sir , Your Servant . Grantham October 16. 1645. FINIS .
