THE DEMANDS Of Lieu●enant-Generall CRUMWELL TO The Committee of Estates of the Kingdom of Scotland, concerning General Munro, and his Forces, with his Resolution thereupon, in case of an unsatisfactory Answer.  
Endeared Sir,  
THe unanimous Spirits of the King and Kingdom grows numerous and successful they leave no way unattempted, for the recovery or this languishing Nation to a flourishing conidtion, their evil actions proves & manifestation to their future intentions, and their affectionate carriage to the country Inhabitants, demonstrates their reality in abundantly, who by great and vast numbers, resorts to them daily, shrouding themselves under the wings of their protection, jointly and unanimously adventuring lives and fortunes against the enemies of Religion, King, and Kingdom; and to that end have entered into an Engagement and Protestation, to assist the Lieuten● General, or the Forces under his command, to the last man, not doubting but that the great Jehovah will go along with them, and give his mighty assistance in this great Work, which so much tendeth, to the glory of God, and the advancement of his People; and that the same God which crowned them with the late glorious Victory, will still be present in the midst of their Army, and with his All seeing Eye and Providence discover and prevent the rage of their enemies; that so He who is the Giver of all Victories, and the Captain General of all Armies, may honour his servants and soldiers with a final day of triumph, making them instruments, to sheathe the bloody Sword, and compose all unhappy differences between the people of this Nation.  
The Country people rise generally, arming themselves with great resolution, and have declared their unanimous affections to the Lieutenant General to live and die with him.  
His excellent deportment towards them, unites their hearts in general; by which means, he hath attempted ma●y difficulties, and is now got as far as Barwick upon Tweed, being resolved to charge Monro in the Rear, and to retard his retreat into Scotland, if a satisfactory answer be not given to these ensuing Demands which he hath now proposed in a Letter to the Estates of the kingdom of Scotland assembled at Edinburgh, viz.  
1. That they recall Major General Monro, and the Forces under his immediate command out of this Kingdom, and that for the future they shall make no further invasion or inroad within the Bowels thereof.  
2. That they forthwith surrender the Garrisons of Berwick, Carlisle, and all other English Garrisons whatsoever, to the obedience and protection of the Parliament of England.  
3. And lastly, That in case these Proposals be not assenced to, he is resolved to prosecute his design against them as Rebels and Traitors to this Kingdom, and that all those who do adhere to, or assist them in this Engagement must expect the same mercy.  
We do not hear of any Answer as yet returned, but Monro declines an engagement, and will not fight, our Horse divers times provokes him to it, who not long since upon their march) disputed a piece of ground with the enemy recovered the same, and put them to a very disorderly retreat.  
On Monday last both Bodies were within 8 miles of each other, our horse faced them, expecting an engagement, but Monro wheeled off with his Army, and drew towards Stainmore with his Artillery, so that they are now 20. miles distant, the Lieutenant General attends their motion, and keeps betwixt Tweed and them. Colonel Fenwick with some additional Forces is designed for the blocking up of Berwick.

Another Letter from the North, communinicating the present proceed of the Scottish Army, to the Citizens of London, and all other parts adjacent.  
SIR,  
The proceed of the Scots and Irish appears more visible and inhuman then formerly, their actions are tyrannical, their ways most insufferable and executeth nothing but blood thirstiness and cruelty, tending only to utter ruin and desolation: they have burned down, divers stately buildings in these parts, executed some of my Lord wharton's Tenants, and threatens others, which causeth the Country to rise and join with Lieu. Gen. Crumwell, insomuch that there will be a sudden engagement. The L. General hath declared himself very galiantly to the Country people, touching the preservation of their lives and estates from the Scots, which takes exceedingly amongst the Inhabitants The Committee of estates have given out orders for raising of more forces to assist Monro.  
We hear that Gen. Munro with his Army is marched on this side Appleby, preparing for an engagement, his forces consisting of about 8000. and it is reported that 5000. more are joined with him from Scotland. Our Intelligence saith that he is resolved to fight Lie. Gen. Crumwel, and the rest of the English Forces, resolving rather to die, then yield ground, unless upon advantage.  
Our forces desires to Engage, but could not pass by the way of Cumberland for want of provision, that County and Westmoreland being exhausted, besides the wet weather and mountainous ways makes carriages and Artillery unpassable had there been provi …; in ●hose respects we passed by Skipton upon Craven, 〈◊〉 so by the East Coast, where we shall have better opportunity to meet our enemy, who we are informed is passed at Steinmore in the Bishopric of Durkard, where is plenty of provision and Antil covenanters, who bid them weclome to as much benefit, as Colchester got by entertaining the Royal party.  
Upon Saturday last Munroes Army randezvouzed at Borough near Stainmore in the Bishopric, who mustered near upon 8000. horse and foot, English, Scots and Irish, well armed and resolute.  
At which Rendezvous we hear, that Munro declared himself at the head of each Regiment, intimating His resolution to live and die with them, and to fight it out to the last man.  
Then he called a general council of all his Officers where it was agreed, That the Scots and Irish s; hold be commanded back to ●erigh, a●● the English into the Bishopric, and that within two days they march up to the Randezvours at Hexam Moor in Northumberland, which accordingly they did, where was a great appearance, Sir Philip Musgrave joining with them with a strong party of horse: the train of Artillery likewise came up, as also 20 piece of Ordnance: and it's generally reported here that 5000. more are coming out of Scotland, which if true, they will make a very considerable Army. Divers English resorts from these parts to Munro, who are by their great Landlords encouraged, and promised to sit rentfree for the future.  
We march slowly, because we wait the coming of Col. Gen. Lambert with 4 Regiments whom we expect daily. Sir Wil Huddleston (a papist) hath raised a considerable party for the King, and besieged Cockermouth the Lancashire forces are gone to suppress him.  
Col. Fenwicks' horse and some Dragoons went near Barwick, relieved the Holy Island, stormed Fenham Castle near t●e Isle, in which was a Scots Garrison, took divers prisoners, put the rest to the sword: they summoned Hagerston Garrison, but the Scots sallying out of Berwick forced them to retreat.  
The Inhabitants in Northumberland have pint themselves into a posture of defence, and upon the 6. of this instant made proclamation at Morpeth, declaring their resolution to live and die with Lieutenant General Cromwell, and to assist him with all that is near & dear unto them, for the vanquishing of the perfidious Scot, who have and are now entering into the Confines of this kingdom, who by their barbarous and inhuman actions, have apparently declared their great averseness both to Religion, King, and Kingdom.
