True and Happy NEWS FROM WALES Declaring the Proceed of the marquis of Hartford in Clamorgan shire.  
THe Earl of Bedford since his last and Happy Victory over the marquis of Hartford, the Lord Paulet, and the rest of their Confederates, except Sir Ralph Hopton, one of the greatest incendiaries in that opposition and Rebellion, who is departed from them, and is escaped privately (as it is furmised) and returned back again into Somersetshire, but there his welcome and entertainment will be very mean and slender, were chased and pursued to Minhead by the Earl of Bedford, where the Marquis according to his expectation, but contrary to his desect found and was entertained, and received by some Coal ships,  
Yet the Earl of Bedford had formerly used all possible means for the preservation and stoppage of his passage over Severn.  
Notwithstanding all which means formerly used by the Earl, for the prevention of the marquis his flight, having gotten the opportunity and conduct of these small Coal ships, which then lay in the Harbour, he got over the River, and escaped into Wales, and by that means escaped the Justice of the pursuing Enemy. Yet notwithstanding this unhappy escape, and the Earls hopes to compass his ends, the cause of all his labours and vexations, being frustrate by the escape of the marquis, he did not desist from his purpose but did pursue them with all the violence he possibly could, and at the last came in view of them, and being seconded with a happy success, he was made in part Master of his Desires, for although he could not watch the marquis who by the help of those Wale ships had escaped into Wales, yet he took the Lord Paulet, Sir Henry Berkly, and two of his Brothers, whom he hath now in custody, and as soon as with conveniency he can, he will send them up to the Parliament, that by them they may receive condign punishment.  
By Letters from the well affected party in Wales, it was signified, that the M. of Hartford had possessed himself of Cardiff Castle in Glamorganshire, and was resolved to seize upon all Cattles that belonged to the E. of Pembroke, but so soon as the Inhabitants of that County had information of it, they gathered a head, and gave battle against the marquis, at Cardiff, killing some 53. with the loss of 9 men.   

The Earl of Pembroke's Proceed in Wiltshire.  
Since the beginning of these present troubles in England, most of the Counties of this Kingdom have been first or last divided among themselves, and are not as yet composed.  
Amongst which Counties the County of Wiltshire did challenge a part, which until within these few days was divided very much, and did so continue until the Earl of Pembroke his going down, whose coming hath done very much good in those parts, and so settled the minds and affections of the Inhabitants thereabouts, that now they are not to be doubted of their constancy and fidelity to the Parliament.  
At his first coming down he opened unto them all his Majesty's Proceed, showing them to be against the Privilege of Parliament, and the Liberty of the Subject, and that His present proceed in war are destructive and opposite both to the Laws of the Kingdom, and his own oath taken at his Coronation.  
When the Earl had thus fare instructed them concerning His Majesty's present Proceed, they were not long before they did unanimously consent unto what was desired them by the Earl of Pembroke, but all placed themselves in a good posture of War, and did declare their readiness and willingness to stand for the King and Parliament, against all that shall endeavour any way to disturb the peace of that County, and also promised both with their lives and fortunes, liberties and goods, to promote and to maintain the Proceed of Parliament, so much as in them lay.  
The Kingdom of Scotland hath appointed 8. Commissioners four whereof are Earls, to present a Declaration to the Parliament, and a Petition to His Majesty the effect whereof was as followeth.  
That His Majesty would be pleased to leave his Evil Counselors, and return to his Parliament, whereby a firm Peace may be settled betwixt them, and that the Synod for the settling of Religion may go on, and some other such like Propositions tending to peace, which if His Majesty shall refuse to hearken unto, they do Declare, that they shall be enforced in duty to His Majesty, to take up Arms to assist their Brethren in England.
