Another FIGHT IN The North, between the two Armies of England and Scotland, commanded by Lieutenant General Cromwell, and Major General Monro.  
Upon Sunday last, being the 27. of this instant Month of August, 1648.  
Honoured Sir,  
IN my last, bearing date Aug. 19 I acquainted you of the defearing of the Scottish Army, by Lieut. Gen. Cromwell and his Forces; since which time, our Intelligencer saith, he hath had another great Fight with the rest of their. Forces in the North, commanded by Major General Monro, and the Earl of Calendar, the manner thus. Major General Monro, and the Earl of Calendar being joined, whose sudden conjunction inviteth many of the scattered Forces, and others, to their assistance, and having a very considerable Body, advances from the Frontier parts, as far as Kendal in Westmoreland, where they met with some opposition, a party of Lieutenant General Cromwel's horse charging the Scots forlorn of Horse, commanded by Colonel Monro, the Major General's kinsman, whose deportment and gallantry in the Fight (to give the Devil his due) were exceeding great, displaying the Banners of Mars, and charging quite through our Body of Horse, his men likewise fought resolutely, disputing the place with great courage, and maintained their passes without the loss of the least ground. Our men likewise fought resolutely, strove for victory, and defended themselves like renowned Heroes, but being overpowred, made an honourable retreat with little loss, the enemy were so galled, that they durst not maintain the pursuit.  
This action happened on Sunday morning last about 8 of the clock in the morning, the loss being equal; on our part were slain 13. and nine wounded, and as many of the Scots.  
We expect a sudden engagement between the two Armies, both being resolved to sight, the Scots Army is said to be about 6000. Monro commanding in chief, being resolved to fight, and saith, That he will show Cromwell School play.  
Indeed he hath four thousand resolute old soldiers, which he brought out of Ireland with him, who hath been a long time exercised and trained in the Discipline of War.  
But notwithstanding all which, our men fears them not, as appears by the foregoing action, who disputed the ground at great odds and disadvantage, and made good their retreat with little loss.  
The Lieutenant General's Army consists of about five thousand, all armed, and well disciplined, the country rising for him wheresoever he cometh, and assisting him with all necessaries whatsoever.  
But General Monro to gain the affections of the Country People, hath made Proclamation at the head of each Regiment, and set forth a Declaration to the Inhabitants, intimating,  
That any soldier whatsoever that shall use any violence or injury to any of the Inhabitants, or plunder, or take away any goods whatsoever, to the value of two pence under any pretence, shall immediately be tried by Marshal Law, and die for it.  
We hear that Monro hath sent a message to the kingdom of Scotland, desiring, That some additional forces may be forthwith raised and sent unto him, and that care be taken for provisions and other necessaries for maintenance of the Army.  
The two Castles of Scarbrough and Pontefract holds out still, and are very resolute and obstinate, slighting the Lieutenant General's Summons, which is all at present, from.

A great Victory obtained at Sea, by his Highness the Prince of Wales, against the Rebellious Shipping.  
Noble Sir,  
YEsterday we received intelligence from the Prince's Navy, that upon the discovery of divers Ships at Sea, Captain Batten received Commission from his Highness, to fight with them, and upon Sunday morning last, weighed anchor, hoisted sail, and made towards them with a gallant Squadron of ships, viz. the Swallow, the Constant Warwick, the Roebuck, the Pelican, the Blackmo●e Lady, and some others, who upon sight thereof, the Rebels ships held off, and were loath to engage, Captain ctatten perceiving this, commanded forth the Swallow the Warwick, and the Roebuck, who after three leagues sail, came within shot of them, gave them a broad side, & engaged, insomuch that there happened a very fierce and tedious fight continuing for the space of 7 hours, and with great gallantry and resolution; but after an hours dispute, the rest of the shipping came up, and gave the Rebels several broad sides, sinking two of them, and boarded the rest, disputing the Conquest above Decks, killing many, casting them into the Sea, the rest cried for quarter, and submitted to mercy.  
In this fight it is reported, that the Prince lost not many men, the enemies were great, above 200. slain, and nearer upon 500 taken prisoners, three ships sunk, and four boarded, and secured, above 50. piece of Ordnance, and great store of Arms and Ammunition, and other rich Booty, which they had taken from divers English Merchants, and others, being all of them Irish Pirates and robbers at Sea.  
It is reported here, that the Earl of Warwick intends to put to Sea very suddenly, and that the Prince is resolved to fight with him, and hath sent several ships to attend his motion.  
Here is great joy for the Conquest in the North, by defeating of the Scottish Army, and totally routing the whole Infantry; for it is said, there actions were most barbarous and inhuman, and that the Burdens and Oppressions of the people were so insufferable, that no Tongue or Pen is able to express them.  
O monstrous and inhuman Creatures! who make Religion their Cloak of knavery, and in stead of executing Justice and mercy, prosecuteth nothing but bloodthirstiness and cruelty.  
They have divers Agents in these parts, who have been very active to withdraw the hearts of the People from the obedience of Parliament, and questionless, might have been very prevalent and powerful, had not God appeared even in the nick and height of their design, who having blasted their stratagems, and Hell bred devices, they are vanished like smoke, etc.
