THE resolution Of general MUNRO Concerning Lieutenant general Crumwel, and the English Iron-sider, their preparation for battle, and the number of their Army, and their further proceedings touching the Parliament of England. SIR, general Munro with his Army is marched on this side Appleby, his forces daily increase 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 lye. 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 Westmerland being exhausted, besides the wet weather and mountainous ways makes carriages and Artillery unpass●ble had there been provision; in those respects we passed by Skipton upon Craven, & so by the East cost, where we shall have better opportunity to meet our enemy, who we are informed is past at Steinmore in the bishopric of Durh●m, where is plenty of provision and Anti-covenanters, who bid them welcome to as much benefit, as Colchester got by entertaining the royal party. Upon saturday last Munroes Army randezvouzed at B●rough near Stainmore in the bishopric wh● mustered near upon 8000. horse and foo●, Eng●is●, Scots and ●rish, 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, add 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 should be commanded back to Perith, and the English into the bishopric, and that within two dayes they march ●p to the Randezvouz a● Hexam Moor in Northumberland, which accordingly they did, where was a great appeara●ce, ●●r 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 itis 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 rent-free for the future. We march slowly, because we wait the coming of Col. Gen. Lambert with 4 Regiments whom we expect daily. Sir Wil. Hudalesion( a papist) hath raised a considerable party for the King, and besieg●● Co●kermouth the Lancashire sorces are gone to suppressed ●im. Col. Fen●icks horse and some Dragoons went 〈◇〉 Barwick, relieved the Holy iceland, stormed Fen●●●● ●astle 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. Richmond 4 Septemb. 1648. Septemb. 5. The Commons ordered the 10000. l. intended for defraying of the charge of the Treaty, viz. 500. l. to t●e Querries for horse charge, 500.l. foi those to be employed by the Commissioners, 6000. l. his Majesty is to have for the use of himself, and those about him 3000. l. the Commissioners are to have for their occasions, so the quarters and diet will be distinct, they will go as soon as money comes in the treaty 40 days: the method will be, 1. recalling Declarations, Religion, Militia, then Ireland, and so as they fall in order, in which they are to keep as close as possible to the Propositions. Tuesday a day of Humiliation for a good end therof, horses, coaches, and other things, are to be speedily sent down to his Majesty. news from Yarmouth, concerning the proceedings of the Royalists, and their opposing of the Parliam●nts Forces. FRom Yarmouth it is advertised, that some of the Royalists have played fast and loose with the Parl. as appears by their accommodating the Prince with provisions of victuals, &c. & particularly a ship some days since laden with barrels of beef, wherein were divers of his Highnesse retinue; which ship when some of the Gen. Dragoons had taken, was rescued by the townsmen, and after past to the Prince: their pretended permission of us to march through the town, was, for the manner rather as prisoners then souldiers of Parl. for they had set stakes and sails, leaving onely room for two a breast, planted their Ordnance, commanded the town to arms that in case any thing had not liked them they might have fallen upon our men. We expect the General here, and then we hope it will be secured: for intelligence is brought that it it was intended, and it is like will yet be furnished by English Soldiers from Holland. Norwich 6. Sept. 1648. There is a general report up and down the City of London, that some action hath already happened between parties, who on sudden engaged, disputing the place with great difficulty, out the English Iron-sides in policy retreating, drew the Jockies from a place of advantage, rallied, and charged them with great fury and courage, the Irish Jockies received them, and stood many a desperate charge, but finding the dispute too hot retreated, our men pursues, who with great gallantry maintains the pursuit to their very heels, doing execution: but being some what weary, returned, taking near upon 30. prisoners, and killing almost as many, with little or no loss. A sudden Engagement is daily expected, Munro being resolved to fight. It is likewise reported, that some of the Lieu. Gen. horse have lately beaten up the Scots out quarters in Westmerland, and have taken divers prisoners, putting many of the Irish to the sword, the two Bodies advance, and are very near an engagement, both parties proceed forward, and a field is suddenly expected, policy is the chief Engine which the two Generals make use of, who are exceeding vigilant, in relation to an engagement. We hear that Sir Philip Musgrave. Sir Robert Stritland, and Sir William B●ackstone, with a party of horse consisting of about five hundred came into Clevel●nd on monday last, and began to levy the country for the Trained Bands, but the Inhabitants rising, and the Dale men coming into their assistance, they durst not stay long, but presently retreated. And having plundered divers horses, and other Goods in and about the parts adjacent to Cleveland, the Inhabitants of the Middle Dale put themselves into a posture of defence ▪ and hastened to a passage where the Cavalry were to march through, who lay in Ambuscado for their coming, and upon their approach near, gave them a volley, which somewhat startled sir Philip Musgrave and his forces: Whereupon they made a stand, and Sir Philip sent a Trumpeter to know the meaning thereof, the Dale men returned answer, That they were resolved to lose their ●ives, rather then to be plundered of their estates and goods, and therfore desired restitution of what had been taken from them or th●ir neighbours. Letters from Holland say, That great preparations is made at th● Hague for the entertainment of the Prince of Wales, and that divers Courtiers are gone from thence with Coaches, to attend his royal person from the Brill. The common report is, He is to rig the ships again, and those prizes which he got in the Downs, he intends to sell, and with the money to levy some forces. Among the States it was disputed, whether he should be entertained by them in a public way, or whether so much per diem, should be allowed unto him for some time. The result itis said was that one thousand Gilders should be allowed unto him per diem. Hague Septemb. stylo novo. FINIS.
