THE SCOTS NEW March  
And their advancing into England with 12000. Horse and Foot, for King, Covenant, and Religion. with the Lord general's Declaration, sent to the Counties of Northumberland and Westmoreland.  
Right Honoured,  
THe Scots are now upon their march towards the Borders of Westmoreland, with a Resolution to advance towards the Southern Climate, the Lord Sincler with a Regiment of Horse, and two of Foot is joined with Major General Langdale, and the whole Army, together with the Tram of Artillery will suddenly be united; for they are now upon the Confines of England, and upon the 12. of this instant intends to join with Major general Langdale, their Army consisting of 12000. Horse & Foot, besides 4000 more commanded by general Monroe, who is said to be come out of Ireland with most of the said Forces, having ma●e a Cessation with the Rebels, as it is reported.  
These are said to be very expert in martial affairs, the worst of them being able to make a good Commander. But notwithstanding all their great force, and impregnable power, our men are resolved to fight with them, being full of courage, and willing to adventure lives and fortunes against any foreigners whatsoever that shall endeavour to obstruct the peace of their native Country. And being willing to testify their fidelity both towards King, Parliament, and kingdom, against the enemies thereof, have made another gallant attempt against the Longtailes, the manner thus.  
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, but our men marching very silent, and the Foot keeping their matches undiscovered, we were upon them before they were aware: Our Forlorn fell in amongst them, doing great execution, and being unwilling to dispute the business, the enemy set fire on their Guards and fled, our men pursued them to the Walls of Carlisle still firing upon their Rear, and did great execution, so that after a sharp breathing, we took about one hundred prisoners, forty Horse, and sixty arms, with the loss of six men.  
This action happened in the night, which saved the enemy many hundreds, but we gave them so hot an alarm, that they left all their quarters, and ran to Carlisle.  
We hear that Col. Fairfax who lieth with his Forces at Fern bridge, hath given the Pomfret Forces a Defeat; occasioned by their salleying forth upon Friday night last, a party of them being commanded out by Major Thimbleby who wheeling about by the lower town. in the evening made their approach near the bridge, but our sentinels discovering them, gave the word privately back, and our men being in a readiness to receive them, gave them a volley, ●ut notwithstanding they cam● within pistol shot of the bridge foot, whereupon the Captain of the Guard, discharged a Drake laden with key shot at them, the Cunner being absent, which made such a Rout, that they betook themselves to flight, our men pursued, & in the pursuit took their commander in chief prisoner, with divers others, and killed about 20. of them, pursuing the rest into Pomfret town.  
We are further advertized, that about Tuesday or Wednesday he Scots intend to set footing into England, and have already sent their Embassage to the Northern counties to be proclaimed and read at the respective Market towns within the said Counties which is to this effect.  

The Declaration of Duke Hamilton.  
WHereas we find the long sufferings of His royal Majesty to be great & unexpressable, and the heavy burdens and oppressions of his liege people so intolerable and unsupportable, to the great damage of divers of his majesty's loyal subjects; therefore we do declare, that we are resolved to hazard lives and fortunes for the redeeming of his Majesty from prison, and to make him as glorious a King as even reigned in Europe, to settle Religion according to the Covenant, & to establish and preserve the peace of both Kingdoms, according to our solemn League and Protestation.   

The Declarations and Propositions of Major Gen. Langdale, to Duke Hamilton, concerning the Presbyterians of England.  
UPon the second of this instant July, Sir Marmaduke Langdale, and Sir Tho: Glenham called a general council, where appeared most of the Field-Officers under their present command, and after they were assembled together, they agreed upon certain Propositions, to be sent to Duke Hamilton, and the rest of the Scottish Peers, now in activity with the new raised Forces of Scotland, concerning the Presbyterian parry of England; which Propositions I shall here communicate to the public view, viz.  
I. 
 That Sir Marmaduke Langdale humbly desireth, that their Lordships would be pleased to contrive some expedient way how he may declare, that as the Presbyterian party be encouraged to join with us, in this our Engagewenr for the King and Covenant so the royal party may not be lost, but that a fair correspondency may be kept betwixt both.  
II. 
 To acquaint their Lordships with the Reasons why the Presbyterian party do not join with us, nor come in to our assistance, is, because they had some thoughts that we should have been left to ourselves, and have received no assistance or aid from this kingdom, to adhere to us, and to stand firm in this our association and conjunction, for the Honour of the King, and the peace and happiness of both kingdoms.  
III. 
 That they would be pleased, to let some person who is of known integrity to the Lord general, and faithful to his present Engagement, may be employed into England, to advertise their Lordships of our proceedings.  
IV. 
 To certify their Lordships, that there hath been nothing wanting on our parts for the advancement of this great Work, and to keep a good correspondency with the Inhabitants of these Northern Counties, notwithstanding the falling off of Lancashire, and our endeavouring to engage them with us.  
These propositions were agreed upon at a general council held in Carlisle, and sent to Duke Hamilton, Lord general of the Scots Army; who after reading thereof, in presence of most of the chief Commanders, it was resolved,  
That Orders should be forthwith sent to the Commanders in chief of each Regiment, to march with their Regiments to the general rendezvous at Dumfreize, according to the day prefixed, which accordingly they did, where several Orders were read at the head of each Regiment, concerning the Discipline and Government of the Army, intimating the penalties which should be executed upon those that did offend.  
And after these and the like passages, each Regiment drew off, and marched from the rendezvous, towards Carlisle, the Lord general rode before them with his lifeguard, accompanied with many Noblemen, and Knights of Chivalry; and it is believed, they will cross the Tweed tomorrow.
