THE DEMANDS AND PROPOSALS OF The Parliament of Scotland, to be presented to the Parliament of England, by the Lord Lee, for removing the King near London, etc.  

SIR,  
THE Parliament of Scotland have been upon an answer to the desires of the Clergy, which I believe you have seen long ere this, but although they would have first stated the question, yet carried on the negative, and the answers resolved on, was not hele satisfactory to the Ministry. Some days there are great hopes of an agreement, and other days the distance is so fare, as scarce any man shall know how near they are to have an Army: many English men are at Edinburgh, and they do daily increase. Another great ship came to Leeth Road on Friday night last; what she is, is not yet known, but a flying Report of the Prince being in her, but no certainty. Some Irish Rebels are come into some of the Scots Islands, and the Marq. of Argyles Regiment are directed, with some others, to march towards them. This is all, I earnestly request a correspondency weekly, and where I shall direct my Letter unto you, that I may take the occasion to subscribe myself.  
Your obliged servant, R. S. Barwick 12 April, 1648.   

The Copy of a Letter from Edinburgh, touching several Propositions to be sent to the Parliament of England.  
Noble Sir,  
YOurs I received, and by way of requital take what hath occurred since my last. The difference between the State and the Clergy is as great as ever; they will by no means consent to the raising of an Army, till the King establish the Presbytery: yet notwithstanding I hear for certain, that an Army is raising, and men listing in divers parts of this Kingdom; 'tis supposed 'twill be speedily effected; and because many of the Commanders of the standing Forces of this Kingdom do not concur with them in this design, those Forces are to be disbanded, and the Earl of Calender is to be General of their new Model; insomuch, that the Cavees and English Fugitives grow very high, treating ruin and destruction to the Parliament and their Adherents.  
Our Commissioners have not had audience, nor answer to any one of the papers they have delivered to the Parliament, but are promised it this week. We hear that 'tis ●o●ed by this Parliament, that our parliament have broken the Covenant and Treaties with them in seven particulars. It's likewise reported, that the Lord Lee is to go speedily to England with propositions from this Parliament; the one is, about settling Religion according to the Covenant, a second for removing the King to one of his Houses, and a personal treaty with him: the third for disbanding the Army, with others, which I hope to send the certainty of by the next, I have underneath, written you the names of the Committee of danger, with some that are added.

SIR,  
SInce my writing by this Post, I received a Letter just now from Edinburgh, whereby I perceive it was concluded yesterday, that an Army should be forthwith levied though it be kept very close. There is a Lord called Lee, as I hear appointed Commissioner for England, with some Propositions touching Religion, a personal Treaty with his Majesty, and disbanding of the Army: This is all that is material, I am, Sir,  
Your assured loving friend, R. G. Barwick 12 April, 1648.  
Since the writing hereof we hear that the Parliament of Scotland have given an answer to our Commissioners papers, but it is said to be very unsatisfactory, and that they refer the substance of all to their own Commissioners which are coming into England to treat with the Parliament.   

Worthy Sir,  
FOr affairs in these parts, we hear another Mac-Donald, commonly called Kolkittoh, and a Kinsman of the former, is risen in Arms in the Marq. of Argyles Country, which hath caused sundry Forces that lay in the Southern parts of Scotland, to march Northward to the suppression of him, A●l the Officers in the standing Army of Scotland, save Lieut-Gen. Middleton, have petitioned the Parliament not to engage in a war against England, unless the Church do concur with them. Some Demands or Proposals from the Parliament of Scotland, to the Parliament of England will shortly be sent By which we may guess, a good deal of time will be spent, before our Brethren resolve one way or other,  
The Kirk and State here, are still at a distance, one day there is some likelihood of an agreement between them, another while there is no hope at all: to say truth, affairs in Scotland lie lose, things are done, and not done: the Scots expect, that the division and distempers in England will increase, and prepare the way for their coming into England: they love to go upon some grounds, and thereupon they build their hopes, being still at liberty to declare and join with whatsoever interest and party shall be found most advantageous, and suitable to their ends, If, in some short time, the Cloud in Wales blow over, and the Parliament make examples in punishing Poyer, and others, that are there in Rebellion, it will be a great discouragement, and happily, may put a period to the designs of the Malignant parties in both Kingdoms, the Scots have agreed to raise an Army, the Lord Lee is to be sent to the Parliament of England, with Proposals and Demands: In the mean time, the English flock thither apace, and the common soldiers have 4. d. a day. All will be nought.  
Barwick 12. April, 1648.
