MORE NEWS FROM THE ARMY  

My Lord,  
YEsterday we got first uncertain intelligence of some parties of horse upon their march near Stony-stratford.  
Towards night other reports came to us, of an intention to surprise this place, whereupon Col. Graves doubled the guards, by such as ha' had most confidence in. At length a Scout of our own brought word of a party of horse randezvouzing upon Harleston Heath, not two miles off, about ten of the clock at night; and withal, we were secretly informed, that their intentions were to seize Col. Graves, and to possess themselves of this House.  
Hereupon we began to prepare for defence, but forced upon advice with Colonel Graves, the guards were to little to be relied upon, that we thought it requisite, he should withdraw himself, lest he should be taken by force from us there being no means le●● us to secure ourselves, to which necessity he was contented to submit, and we purposely caused it to be divulged, that he was gone, hoping thereby to divert the Horse from falling on us, But about one of the clock, we had certain knowledge of their being drawn into the Park and Meadows adjoining, and that we were surrounded by them, which caused us to send for all the Officers of our Guard, who with one consent declared to us, that they found no disposition in their soldiers to fight with any of the General's army, with whom they had so often adventured themselves against the common Enemy.  
While this discourse held with them, it passing two of the clock, about break of day we discovered a party of horse drawn up before the great gates, and immediately at the back yard, where our Horse and Dragoanes stood; their horse with many of ours amongst them, entered without any resistance at all, being quietly let in, and embraced by the soldiers.  
We presently sent to speak with their chief Officer: it was answered, there was none that commanded: But soon after, Mr, Joyce Cornet to the General's Lifeguard came into us, and being demanded the cause of their coming in this manner, he answered, that they came with authority from the Soldiery to Colonel Graves that he might be tried by a Council of War, for having scandalised the Army, whereby a Plot also (which was contriving to convey the King to London without directions of the Parliament) would be prevented.  
We desired he would put the same into writing, and they delivered us the enclosed accordingly where in you will not find Colonel Graves mentioned by name, though intended.  
This is the condition we are in▪ with much sorrow to ourselves, that we can give you no better account though our endeavours have not been wanting. Our humble suit is, that by this Bearer Captain Titus, you will please to send us speedy directions, the want whereof hath been no small discouragement to us hitherto, in a service of this length and importance.  
My Lord, Your Lordship's humble Servant, Edw. Montague. Holmby june 3.   

A Copy of the Paper delivered by Cornet Joyce to the Commissioners.  
May it please the Honourable Commissioners of Parliament,  
WE Soldiers now under his Excellency Sir Thomas Fairfax his command, have by the general consent of the Soldiery, manifested our true love to the Parliament and Kingdom, by endeavouring to prevent a second war, discovered by the designment of some men privately to take away the King, to the end, he might side with that intended Army to be raised, which if effected, would be to the utter undoing of the Kingdom. We shall be able and willing to bring our testimony, when called for, who were the Plotters and Contrivers therein. This being the only way and means to prevent all those  dangers, that might unhappily have come upon us, and this whole Kingdom, whose weal we have always endeavoured, with the hazard of our lives, and the blood of many of our dear friends, and fellow soldiers. This being the only thing presented to us, which puts us on our late action, for the preservation of the King's person, and furthering of the Parliaments proceed, together with the Commissioners great care to effect the same, and to discharge the trust imposed on them.   

The last News f●om the Army.  
WE have from the Army further intelligence, to this effect; That the Committee of Troops that secured his Majesty, brought him to Huntingdon, Colonel whaley is sent to command in chief, and to stay His majesty that he march not nearer the Army; His majesty is used with all civility, but kept with a Guard as formerly. The Army stiil continues at their General Rendezvouz near Newmarket; the soldiers both Horse and foot are very unanimous, and overjoyed at the sight of their General, whom they received with great joy and acclamations, whose presence hath brought a great subjection in the soldiers to the Officers.
