SIR, WE have intelligence now come to Major General Lambert, that the Scots are come into England, with a considerable force, both of horse and foot, under the command of Duke Hamilton, the time of their entering is said to be about four a clock on Saturday morning. Duke Hamilton himself came in person to the City of Carlisle that night, and was entertained with great rejoicing by the Soldiery there, Ordnance were shot off, and bells rung, and great acclamations. The Van of the Scots forces, lie now about Wigton, some five mile's west of Carlisle. When they have consulted there with Sir Marmaduke Langdale, it will be resolved whether they will march towards Lancashire, or, which is more likely, towards Newcastle. Duke Hambleton marched himself in the Van of the Scots Army, with his Trumpeters before him, all in scarlet cloaks full of silver lace, like a Prince in state. With the Duke did march a lifeguard, of Scotch men, all very proper and well clothed, with standards and Equipage like a Prince. There marched then all the Horse in the Van of the Army, who were 4 Regiaments, 7 Colours in a Regiament, that is 28 Colours, and in every Regiment some 500 that is about 2000 in the said 4 Regiaments in the Van. Then marched their body of Foot, in the middle, led by Major General Middleton The foot are 7 Regiaments, having 72 Colours, 10 Colours to a Regiament, and 12 to the Major Generals. The foot are nigh a 1000 in a Regiament, most of the companies being complete 100 a piece, They are in all of Foot about 7000. The Foot have brought some carriages, but the Artillery, and completing of the carriages is to be from Carlisle, which was one great reason of the Dukes so much hasting thither, as soon as he entered England, In the Rear of the Scots army, march another division of Horse, with the Earl of Calendar. The number of the Horse that march in the Rear are much about the number of those in the Van, only the Troops are not altogether so full, but they are above 1500. Major General Monro it is said) will join 3000 with them from Ireland, of the Scots that are there under his command, only some few Irish that have recruited the Regiaments. Sir Marmaduke Langdale hath about 3000 English that he can arm, and draw into the field to join with them, So that their whole Army doth consist of these numbers, Viz. Of those already in England. 2000 Horse in the Van of the Scots Army, 1500 Horse in the Rear of the Scots, 7000 Scots Foot now in England, 3000 English Horse & Foot under Langdale, 3000 Expected from Monro in Ireland. 16500 or thereabouts, is the number of the field-Army, which they expect to complete. There is some speech, as if they intended to make two Armies of them, if they prevail, thus: First, that they all joining intent to march toward Newcastle, & if they be not impeaded, but get thither well, than the Scots are to attempt the storming of it, and if they gain it, that they shall have the profits thereof towards the maintenance of their Army. And that then (it is said) Prince Charles is to march in the head of the English into the South, and the Scots stay in the North of England. I have sent you here enclosed the copies of some papers from Scotland that came to my hands. Penrith July 10. 1648. Money raised by the Kingdom of Scotland for the Army, For advance money. li. s. d.

Noble Sir, WE have received intelligence even now that the Scots are come into England, with a considerable Force both of Horse and Foot, under the command of Duke Hamilton, who we hear came himself into Carlisle, on Saturday night last, and that his forces lie now about Wigton, The best intelligence we have, says, that they have 27 Colours of Horse in the Van, and a great body of Horse in the Rear, which we conceive to be answerable to the former. The Foot, from several hands, we understand are 72 Colours. Penrith July 10. 1648. Die Veneris July 14. 1648.
