2. To desire that some person who is known to be faithful to Duke Hamiltons' family, may be employed into England to advertise their Lordships of our proceed.

A Letter from Major General Lambert's Quarters.  
SIR,  
SInce we came into these parts we have taken five Castles from the enemy, viz. Appleby, Brougham, Graystoke, Rose and Sealby, Rose was taken by storm of 220 Foot, being a commanded party and taken within two hours, the place is strong, had 40 men in it, the Governor stood and refused to summons, and yet quarter was given, only one of the enemy slain and one hurt, not one of ours hurt or killed, Sealby Castle was taken by a party of horse only, they fired but one piece, and one Trooper going up to the walls, and showing his pistol to them and threatening what he would do if they fired ●ny more, and that they should have no quarter, they presently yielded. On Sunday night last our Army coming to Warwick Bridge four miles from Carlisle, the enemy kept a strong guard of Horse and Foot there, we were vyon them before they were ware, they left their guard and fled, our forlorn pursued them to the walls of Carlisle, we took 100 prisoners Horse and Foot, and 40 Horse, and gave them so hot an Alarm, being in the night, that from all their quarters, they run both horse and Foot, to Carlisle in so great confusion, that if it had been been day we had taken, at least a thousand of them. They pretend they will not fight till the Scots come in, and we have received credible information, that three Regiments of Scottish horse are ready, to join with them, and I think they will do it, do what we can but when that's done, we shall not refuse to fight with them though they should be twice in number, we have had miserable marches, and most pitiful quarters in this barren and undone Country.  
We must be forced to remove our storm, neither of which, we would willingly do, by the former we encourage our enemies, and discourage our Friends, by the latter, we destroy ourselves, in this miserable condition, we are as a company, of forlorn men neglected & forsaken, having neither money  nor victuals for Horse and man, hard marches, hard duty, and at night the high Canope for our curtain,

 SIR,  
I believe you have before this can come to your hands received intelligence of the late action at St. Needs, on monday mor●ing last; therefore I shall be very brief in that particular, and proceed to what happened afterwards, Col Scroop entered the town about 4 or 5 in the morning, after most of the wearied forces with the Earl of Holland, had gotten 3 or 4 hours' sleep, who being overcome with sleep, and tired in their march, knowing themselves pursued were not so vigilant in their quarters as they might have been which was a means to give the more easy and facile entrance to col. Scroop & his forces, they took the E. of Holland, sir Gilb. Garrand (a Gentleman which formerly had been very active for the King) with divers other Gentlemen of quality, & about 300 prisoners, 320 horse, & store of arms & pillage, col. Dalbere is either killed or very dangerously wounded, many were killed on the place, & the rest fled in two parties, that which went with the Duke is reported not to consist of above 60 or 70 horse, & about as many more gone with the E. of Peterborough towards Huntingdon, and were so closely pursued by col. Scroops horse that they have taken many prisoners since the first action, among which is col. Leg, col. Pincher, capt. Hews, & others, and if any have escaped, they may say gra-mercy horse, the prisoners are as we hear on their march for London, or to the L. Gen. quarters, which is all for the present he can send you that is

A Relation out of Worcester-shire of a design to have raised forces for the King, , Herefordshire, and what the Counties declared thereupon.  
SIR,  
IT cannot be imagined with what skill & policy the Cavalier party have acted in several parts of the Kingdom for raising of forces to renew the first quarrel, & put it into a new combustion, for which purpose many Agents have been employed not only in this county, but also in Hereforashire, Warwickshire, & other parts of the Kingdom; & although they have been very private in their meeting, and listing of men, yet we bless God they are discovered and some of those which were principal actors herein apprehended, their persons feured, which may much conduce to the peace and quiet of these parts, especially if our neighbour Counties do the like, one of the chief in this County which is suspected to have a hand in this business, is the Lord Dudleys' son, there be also five more apprehnded but they shall be nameless, till a fuller discovery, be made of this business, some of them hahaving already confessed that there was a general design to have raised forces, in all the Counties of the Kingdom, these Gent. had many private meetings at Bromsgrave & Kittermaster, and had gotten some forces in a readiness, but the whole plot being now made manifest the well-affected in these parts declare themselves against their proceed, and do utterly abhor their actions, and say their actions are destructive to the settled Government of this Kingdom.   

London July 12 1648.  
At a Common-council at Guild-Hal it was agreed that the Common-council men of every ward should meet Thursday next and in pursuance of their petition for a personal treaty in London find out in their respective wards, who will show themselves for this or other petition; and at a consultation by a Committee of the Parliament, and a Committee of the City endeavoured to satisfy the house which way they will make good the particulars, set down in their late petition presented to the ●ouse for a treaty in London, and declared that they will not only do their utmost endeavour for preservation of the King's Majesty, royal person and both houses of Parliament during the treaty, but in case the said treaty prove not effective they will live and die with the Parliament according to their solemn League and Covenant.
