Remarkable Passages from the last of October, to this pesent day.  

Newcastle.  
IT is rertainly peported here, and we see it manifested before our eyes, that my Lord of Newcastle our Governor does all he can possible, to advance the Cause of the malignants against the peace of the Kingdom and Parliament, borrowing here, by a certain compulsive way, that they must lend spite of their teeth, what monies he can possibly get, using, indeed, more rigorous exactions here then the Scots did during their abode with us: the said Earl does what he can possible to incense the number of his forces, taking, as the Proverb is here, Tagrag and bobtail, men of all sorts and conditions, especially Papists, of which he had a considerable number among his regiment, being rumoured in the Bishopric of Durham and this County, to be eight thousand strong, when indeed, they cannot be four thousand, with the black Coats and all: the Clergy especially in the Bishopric, like their leading Dean, Doctor Cousins, being most pertinacious malignants; he has endeavoured to seduce all the Sailors that man the Coal-ships, to his part, proffering them double pay, but those honest men are not to be won to employ their hands to so bad a purpose, resolving rather to follow their lawful vocations, then to be traitors to their Country; we wish him. (so does all the poor and honest people hereabouts), at the devil, they make all things so dear with their rapine and devouring, that we fear a scarcity, if not a dearth in these plenteous parts.   

Durham.  
In this City drums are beating for Volunteers for the Earl of Newcastle, but he can get but a few, though the preachers exhort them to it in their pulpits. So odious is the cause, and the very name of Cavalier in these parts, to all but some few malignants.   

Rippon.  
HEre we are in great dread of my Lord of Cumberland and his Cavaliers, who ride up and down, and plunder where soever they come, sparing neither man in their rage, nor woman in their lust: some half a score of those rutters, or rather roisters coming two days since to an honest gentleman's house, a Kinsman of my Lord Farefaxes: demanded of the gentlemen who unfortunately was at home, whether, he would adhere to the King or Parliament the gentleman made answer, he would with all his heart serve them both, but not the King against the parliament For the Parliament, he was certain it would do nothing against the King. With which honest answer not nothing unsatisfied, but enraged, one of them calling him Traitor, discharged his petronel quite through his body, so that the good gentleman fell down dead, they immediately forcing in to his house, the defenceless gentlewoman aghast at her husband's death, they took, and heating a pair of tongs, put them burning to her threat, to make her confess where the Plate and Money was, which amounting to at least the value of two hundred pound, they took away: in most vild manner using the sorrowful gentlewoman they before her face, forced her two daughters to satisfy their libidinous appetites. And one of them proffering the like villainy to the dairy maid, a handsome lusty wench, was by her stabbed to the heart. A fit reward for such a monster. After their firing the house they departed. Their General, though complaint was made by the poor gentlewoman against them, doing her no Justice, Alleging he could not find certainly who they were. God diliver us from the hands of such blood thirsty Cannobals.   

Lincoln.  
IN these parts about Bourne and Stamford, as in other places of this County, there is much sorrow and heaviness for the death of my Lord of Lindsey, slain in the late battle near Keinton: the malignants, such as Master Harringtou, Sir William Th●orold, and the like, striving what they can to seduce the people from their good affections to the Parliament, about Boston they rejoice as fast, the said Lord having been a great and continual enemy to that good town, that wishes the like end to all that disturb and oppose the tranquillity of this Kingdom,   

Redding.  
HEre we have been in great fear this two or three days of Prince Robert and his Cavaliers, who like toring Lions go about seeking whom they can devour, plundering and pilaging the Country's round about us: No man's estate being his own, or secure from the fingers of those Harpies: as yet he hath not approached us. We could wish we were of ability ourselves, to secure our town against his invasion, we would give him as good a welcome hither, as his ascociat my Lord of Derby had at Manchester, but we are not so well provided, and could wish a good able garrison of the Parliaments Forces, to secure our lives and liberties, which else we are fearful will run into much danger, by those malignants cruelties.   

Shrewsbury.  
THe garrison of welsh and malignant's in this town do great and daily mischiefs, taking away both money and victuals and all other commodities from those that frequent this town with merchandise, so that the Country is afcaid to trade or traffic to this town at all, whereby it is very likely to fall in so great distress and want of provision. They forage on every side into the Countries, so that all people here about, are in great and pitiful distresses, hunger we hear at last will drive these devilish miscrevants out of these quarters. Marquis Herford, it is here reported is gone into South-Wales again, where he does all he can possible to seduce those poor ignorant mountaineers, who with a willing heart, or at least by constraint, come to wait upon their Prince, whose governor the marquis is, Sir William Plimhimmon a Knight of North-Wales, being a constant stickler in his affairs, he living near Llannidlos in North-Wales and having a large extent of ground there, the whole mountains there about'ts being the said Sir William's Inheritance. God bless us from the said Marquis and his crew of malignants, for then our miseries will be increaseed upon us.   

Bristol.  
IN this rich and populous City, we are here in no danger nor fear of any, Keeping loyal hearts and valiant hands for the service of the King and Parliament: our own Forces in this City being sufficient to defend ourselves against any enemy whatsoever. We having fortified our town with outworks, as hornworks and a sconce to Sommersetshire ward, whence if we have any we expect our enemies the malignants, we are in this town eight thousand of sufficient able armed men, whom we every day practise in the rudiments of war; good store of excellent Ordnance, brass most of them, at least thirty pieces of demi Canon, Culverin and half Culverin, mounted upon our works, powder, shot and match, with other Ammunition, sufficient victuals, we need not fear the want of having the sea and seavern to friend to bring us in victuals. There was a ship brought in hither the other day loaden with Ammunition and some spare Ordnance, they reported they were bound from Nants in Britain, for the low countries. But certain they either were intended for the assistance of the Rebels in Ireland, or for Milford Haven in Wales to the Marquis Hartford there being letters found about one of the Mariners, were directed from one Master Walter Monto to the Lord Marquis howsoever we made of the ship and Ammunition, and have it in safe custody, Till the. Parliament please to give order for its disposal.   

Cornwall.  
Sir.  
Ralph Hopton with the friends and Forces of this town of Okchampton my Lord Mohunes are very ripe hereabouts, riding through this Duchy of Cornwall with great clamour and outrage some honest gentlemen, men interested very sufficiently in the Flameries in this Country, and very well affected to the Parliaments pleasure, and the peace of the Kingdom, being much disturbed by those malignants excursions and incurssions, Sir Ralph Hopton and my Lord Mohuns Forces, being not so formidable here as they are supposed to be. Being not above fifteen hundred hotses, and two thousand foot: poor Cornish men most of them that are duced into the quarrel against the Parliament, and easily vanquished if we had here any succour from the Parliament to join with our own Country forces, we would live and die in the cause.   

Excester.  
ALl the discourse here, is of the Kings and Prince Robert's dissertion of your parts, and their speedy march with their Cavaliers down into our quarters, where the enjoining their Forces, with those of Sir Ralph Hopton, and my Lord Mohun is expected and certainly talked of. For our parts we know we can no ways have a possibility of serving his Majesty better than in serving his high Court of Parliament, so that our Mayor and Aldermen with the entire body of the town, are resolved to stand for the commonwealth. we already have made good the decayed walls, & fortified our town with good and handsome outworks, have Ordnance planted, and indifferent store of Ammunition, and some quantity of resolved Soldiers to stand for the King and Parliament. We have, thanks be to God but few malignants in our City. And if the King come hither, we are resolved to give his Majesty entertainment as befits loyal Subjects, but without admitting his Army of Cavaliers, the disturbers of the public peace and safety.
