A MESSAGE From the Kingdom of SCOTLAND To the Citizens of London; showing their unanimous Resolution to reinvest the King in His royal Throne, and endeavour his majesties restitution to the exercise of his royal power.  
GENTLEMEN,  
WHereas we have studied to set before our eyes the honour of God, the good of Religion, and true loyalty and allegiance to our Native sovereign; and to the end it may further appear to this kingdom, and to all the world, that no sinister end or worldly design ●● self-interest, hath stirred us up to this course, we do remonstrate.  
1 That we have both matter of deep humiliation before God, and thank giving to him, when we consider his gracious dispensation towards us; in preserving a remnant from following the evil courses of the 〈◇〉, and that he was pleased so soon after a great defection and back-sliding in the land, to put us into a condition to resist the force and fury of our enemies: in which particular, we look upon our Brethren of England to be the chief Instruments therein.  
2 That whatsoever power God hath already, or shal hereafter put into our hands, we shall improve it for settling and propagating Religion, and promoting the work of Reformation according to the Covenant, and in particular, to have the liberties of the Kirk ratified, which have been many ways encroached upon and violated.  
3 To vindicate and establish the liberty and property of the Subjects, who have been most grievously oppressed in their consciences, persons, and estates.  
4 That we shall endeavour the Kings Majesties restitution to the exercise of his royal power, as soon as He shall give security for settling Religion in the manner expressed in the Desires of the Kirk, and shall give satisfaction in such other things as shall be found necessary for the peace and safety of the kingdoms.  
5 That the late unlawful Engagement against England shall be disclaimed, and disavowed by the supreme Authority of this Kingdon, it being most destructive to religion, Crown, a●d Kingdoms.  
6 That the peace and union of the two kingdoms may be strengthened and confirmed.  
7 That we shall endeavour to purge out of all the Judicatories in this Land, malignancy and profaneness, and use all other good means, that Justice may be equally and impartially administered to all subjects whatsoever within his Majesties realms and Dominions.  
8. That we will faithfully endeavour to have a free Parliament, consisting of such persons as have not been accessary to, and furtherers of the late Engagement, for which end we do again hereby require that in the election of Commissioners from Burroughs and Shires to the Parliament, the rules and directions set down in our Acts of thee 22 of September last, and the 4 of this instant month of October, may be punctually observed throughout the Kingdom.  
And we call the searcher of hearts to record that these are our real and true intentions, and that we do not, nor shall by the grace of God pursue any private ends or intereits of our own; and we trust the Lord our God who knoweth the sincerity of our resolutions, who hath also had mercy upon us, and hath begun to do so graciously for us, will assist us herein, until his work shall be accomplished.  
This Declaration and Proposals were Ordered to be forthwith printed and published; and communicated to the Citizens of London, and the rest of His Majesties liege People within the Realm of England. Signed, T. HENDERSON.   

A Remonstrance of the Army.  
Letters from the Army say, that their hearts are of known integrity and faithfuluesse, both towards King, City, and Country, and are resolved to see the King invested, the Kingdom settled, and the Liberties & Franchises of the City of London firmly preserved and maintained, without any violation whatsoever; and as a testimony of their fidelity, have declared that they will use their utmost endeavours for the composing of all differences, and inthroning of the King in his Royal Throne at Westminster, and unite Him with His great council of England, which God grant may speedily be effected. This is the sense of many in the Army, although divers objects against the same; especially the Northern party, and their Adherents, who have presented their Remonstrance and Desires to both Houses, as followeth.  
Humbly desiring, That Justice may be impartially and speedily executed upon the grand Delinquents of the kingdoms, especially such as have been the onely promoters of this last Rebellion, who are traytors by the Law of the Land, and ought to be made exemplary without partiality, there being no exception therein to excuse any particular person( though the highest and greatest Incendiary and Delinquent) from Justice, who have confessed themselves guilty of all the blood, rapine, murder, & almost utter ruin of these three poor dying, and last gasping Kingdoms, with whom a Treaty must be had when they are twice conquered, and when God hath delivered them up into the hands of his people, to the end Justice may be executed on them, and their lives sacrificed as traytors to all future Generation. Further remonstrating and declaring, that with unex pressible grief of heart, they find the affections of Parliament alienated from them, in slighting their just and lawful addresses, thinking them not worthy of an answer thereunto, whereby they conceive themselves in the capacity of enemies, or not free men, which will justly challenge the same from them, as being their Deputies and Trustees, or else petitioning for things unjust, though they know they are according to their solemn League and Covenant, and their own proceedings and printed Declarations, upon which they engaged with them, and for them; and without which, we should never have drawn a sword the second time in their quarrel. And declare, that if their intentions further appear( as they have too much of late) to side with, and act for their enemies, and against the interest of them, and all the free Commons of England, in making their enemies and conquered slaves to be their masters and commanders, they must look to and depend upon the law of nature for their preservation against those devilish and malignant principle, to which they declare themselves open enemies, and resolve to he utmost of their abilities to oppose, with the loss of lives and fortunes. Protesting, still to keep their first integrity without spot or blemish, and not bow their ●●ee to Baal at the Kings Command, neither at the Pariaments, and that if they act against the truth reposed in them by the people, the people are bound in conscience and duty to act against them, Salus populi being Suprema Lex.   

SIR,  
WE hear that his Highnesse the Prince of Wales hath sent a message to Lieut. Gen. cronwell since his return from the City of edinburgh, purpotting his Desires, touching Sir Marmaduke Langdale, mayor Gen. Laughorn, Col. John Poyer, and the rest of the Gentlemen who engaged for his Royal Father the King, now under the restraint of the power of Parliament; requiring, That they may have the privilege of Souldiers and Gentlemen, and such accommodation, as may witness his integrity to the sons of Mars, and spread forth his Honour and famed throughout all the Camps in Europe: And in so doing, He subscribes Himself.  
Your very loving Friend CHARLES'P. Dated from aboard the Fleet royal, the 14. Octob. 1648.  
And it is further advertised from the kingdom of Scotland, that the Earl of Lanerick is gone to the Prince to advice with his Highnesse, touching the disposal of the Fleet, and to invite them into the North Road, if possible to escape the Earl of Warwicks Navy. And it is said, that divers Agents are sent from France, and other places, to treat with the States of Holland, for a conjunction between Vantrump( Admiral of the D 〈…〉 Fleet) and the Prince of Wales. But the States disapprove thereof, and have declared against the same.
