The King's Majesty's Letter intercepted, By the Commissioners attending his Majesty.  
A Copy whereof was sent to the PARLIAMENT.  
WORTHY SIR,  
YOURS by the Post I have received, for which I thank you, and in demonstration of it, give you this return. Sir, I suppose you cannot want intelligence how things are managed here, and my labour might be spared; howsoever, I cannot but assure you, the Scots are all departed; and had I not seen them march, I could never have believed, either their number to have been in the Kingdom, nor their sad behaviour upon their departing: yet I impute it not to the Nation, nor the Army, but to particular persons thereof, though some Officers co●●●ive to 〈…〉, I dare affirm, that of all the Horse I ever saw in this Kingdom, since the first marching from Keinton, I never saw so many brave Horse together, at least six thousand. The Officers all marched w●●h naked swords, but their Horses were not b●e; for they were all ●ded and clothed to purpose. But they have been so real in the main, that I will go backward and hid their nakedness.  
The V●ce Admi●als Ship is still in Lieth Road in Sco●land, stopping 〈…〉, nor doth the wind serve for her to come away as ●et.  
The Holland man of War at Tinmouth, longs as much to be gone, as we to have him, but is wind-bound. The Vice Adm●rall waits on her in the Constant Warwick, and hath two more with him.  
Yesterday we heard of the Fellowship without the Bar, but a storm came up about three a clock, and put her off to Sea.  
There dined aboard the Vice Admiral Ship, Adjutant General Deate, of the Army, the Judge Advocate, Commissioner Potter, Major Smith, and Captain Skippon. Major Smith received Tinmouth Castle, and is there at present. Who shall be governor of Tinmouth Castle, I shall advertise you in my next.  
On Saturday last the English Commissioners took assession of his Majesty, and settled Families: His Majesty took it very ill to have his old Servants taken ●●om him. That (and some other things which I forbear at present) put his Majesty into an humour that he would not hear Major Ke●e preach on the Lord's day, although two days before he caused a note to be sent to him to preach, but be applied himself to the Commissioners, and acquainted them that he would take no notice of it without their Summons.  
Then Ma●or Keme was appointed to preach, who accordingly came hither to Newcastle on saturday night; and being come, he sent the same night to Mr. Marshal, to know which time of the day he pleased: who spoke with Mr. Keme, and told him, that both he and Mr. C●●ll had had some private discourse with the King about it, but that His Majesty was resolved to hear none of them.  
And accordingly on that Lord's day his Majesty was as good as his word, his Majesty never came, although much importuned by the Earl of Pembroke, the Earl of Denbigh, etc.  
His Majesty hath now other manner of Table and attendance then formerly, a great many honest godly Courtiers, and good Soldiers, Mr. Harbert, Sir Fnlke Grivill, Captain Mildmay Carver, Mr. Harrington of the Bedchamber, Mr. Douser, Captain Titus Querrey, etc.  
The King yesterday took his journey from hence, I have sent you here enclosed a list of the several places appointed for his quarters every night from hence 〈…〉 by House.  
The Lord move his Majesties he art to consider what is past, and take his journey Heavenward, to act for his glory for the future.  
On Monday last one Mr. Mungo Mur●ey, who hath been a servant to the King, desired leave of the Commissioners to take his leave of the King, and so to go into Scotland: which was granted to him.  
The said Mr. Mungo Murrey, having thus obtained leave, came to his Majesty, and his Majesty gave him his hand to kiss, which he did.  
But withal something was perceived (by one of the Commissioners) to be put in Mr. Mungo Murries hand, by the King; who being followed, and by the Commissioners examined, and searched, it was found to be aletter, which he was to deliver to Montrel the French Agent.  
It was all in Ciphers, so that nothing could be read of it, but the Commissioners have sent it to the Parliament to see if they have keys to unlock those cyphers, the particulars whereof will be with you first, if opened.  
Some suppose it to be a letter to Montrell, to give him directions in some things which he should do; others guess it to be a letter which should have been sent to the Queen to France, whither (it is supposed) Montrell is immediately to go, from Scotland.  
But, the letter is all in figures, and Ciphers, both within, and without, the very Superscription.  
This Mr. Mungo Murrey was apprehended, and in Custody for two days, and then sufficient security was given for his forthcoming within 4. days, in case that he should be demanded, so he had his liberty. And the Commissioners have sent up to the Parliament to know their pleasure therein.  
His Majesty set out from hence yesterdaynight in great Pomp, with attendance more befitting and suitable to a King, than some years past. God grant all maybe for the best, so prays  
Newcastle the 4. of February 1646. Your humble Servant L. SAMMEL.
