A LETTER FROM NEWCASTLE, CONTAINING The last Proceed in Scotland, and the progress of their declared King.  
SIR,  
TWo ships are brought hither, which were taken prize by Capt. Hall's squadron, he hath been very active, in securing these parts from Pirates and Robers; those; now taken are French, a Capt of one of the ships reports, that the declared King of Scots was at Sea, and for two or three days after his putting forth the weather was fowl and stormy, his resolution (saith the relator) is for Scotland, but that might change with the wind, & then he is carried back again, or some other way. The news we have from Scotland is to this purpose, Committees are appointed in the several Shires, to take account of the Magazines and furnish men with Atms; The recruits have arms already delivered out to them, and are in a daily posture, some say in expectation of a Southern Alarm, others that they may be ready to attend their tituler King, who is as zealously expected, as surely disposed of it once amongst them; the rumour goes, that if he comes into that Kingdom, he shall be brought to Aberdeen or Glasco, and not to Edinburgh, and that the Parliament will rejourn thither, and if he be thus conformable to the Kirk, and receive benediction to his sacred Crown (as they call it) oh what hopes will it give of a Presbyterian-Prosolit fit to plum the wings of Jure devino, that they may pray upon the Civil authority. One Smith (I cannot learn what Country man he is) was apprehended and committed into the Marshal's hands) for saying that the Clergy, and the Lords of Scotland consulted together to keep the people in slavery, the condition of the common people there being little better than those in England which once held vilianage, and for that they find, that many of them begin to take notice of that freedom which others do enjoy, the Lords fearing their Diana should fall to the ground, labour to support the height of a Tyrannical Government, and thereby to keep the people in a state so far from relieving themselves, that they shall not have means to know the happiness of good Commonwealths, where none can truly say they are miserable or unfortunate. It's thought he will for this suddenly undergo the Church censure; and than you know what judgement follows, by the late execution of their King's Cousin. Lieut. Gen. Lambert hath a gallant Brigard towards the Borders, and Col. Pride is marching that way. All things are in a peaceable condition here.  
Newcastle 23. of June 1650.   

A Letter from Bristol.  
THe report goes that the Scots declared King, is gone Northward, a ship is lately taken the Cap. whereof had a Commission from the Prince. From Ireland we receive Intelligence as followeth. The Lord Deputy Ireton hath his head quarters at Clomwel, he hath sent a Summons to Waterford, with certain conditions for the Soldiery, which if they accept of, they shall have liberty to march away accordingly, the conditions are these, viz. 

1. That the Soldiery shall have liberty, to march away with Ammunition, Arms, bag and baggage, and have a safe convoy four miles.  
2. That at the four mile's end, they shall lay down their Arms, which shall be delivered to such as his Lordship, or the Superior there shall appoint.  
3. That when they have laid down their Arms as aforesaid they shall enter into an engagement, not any more to take up arms against the Parliament of England.  
4. That upon performance of the particulars aforesaid, they shall have Protection to live peaceably at home, and enjoy what is their own; And some Officers have liberty to travel beyond Sea.  
5. That the Inhabitants of the town shall have liberty to dispose of their own Estates.    
General Preston being Governor of this place, returned answer, That it was the first Summons & conditions that ever he received from any assailant, and although he we●● besieged, he is an old soldier, and could not accept of conditions unsought for.  
Unto this the Lord Deputy sent a reply, letting him understand, that if he remained obstinate, the business would shortly be in another way desided betwixt them; and he doubts not, but God will continue the owning of his own cause, and be avenged on such an idolatrous Rebel, having nothing whereof to boast but (Devil-like) his long continuance in sin.  
The Inhabitants of South-wales, considering with themselves the happy peace and freedom, they enjoy under the present Government, and the present dangers, by reason of discontented and disaffected persons, have jointly set forth a Declaration, which followeth, Hic Verbis.  
That the singular clemency and favour extended by you to our long seduced Country, as well in clearing the Inhabitants thereof from the guilt wherein they had involved themselves, with Offenders of a deeper stain, and interpreting all their failings, as the effects of fear and self-preservation, as in man fasting your care and goodness for the eternal Welfare of a people whose ways had lately been in opposition to your just proceed, is an abundant refreshment to our hearts, and an ample Testimony to the world, That the spirit of him who prayed, and laid down his life for his enemies, is your great Counsellor, in the high and weighty affairs you manage for the Commonwealth: And that the inestimable benefit which we do, and our posterity in after ages shall reap, by that Act for propagating the Gospel, is an indelible engagement upon us to to bless God, that inclined our hearts to grant the same: And we trust it will appear to your eternal honour, that the preaching of the Gospel, is not the least and most inconsiderable means, to secure and establish your present Government.  
Now for these so large and acceptable favours, so far beyond our merit or expectation, proceeding from the Load through your piety and prudence; The only return we are enabled to make, is, our most humble and thankful acknowledgements thereof, with our cordial profession of all our future loyalty and integrity, by God's assistance, to the utmost hazard of out lives and fortunes, to the advance, and due execution of all services, according to your honourable and just commands.  
Letters from Holland verify, that the P. of Orange gave the Magistrates of Amsterdam a visit. And sent them a Message to this effect, viz. That the General of the united Provinces desired Audience in Common Council; but was denied.
