A true Copy of divers Intercepted Letters sent from the Committee at Derby-house, to Lieut. Gen: Cromwell. Published to requite their stopping of the Packets this week from France, and from the North.  

IT is thought Goring will march to the Isle of Ely, or break into the North. Notice is given to Col. Walton, Col. Hobert; to Huntington, and all Counties Northward. Honywood and Cook are said to have 3000. The Trained bands of Suffolk rise 
a merely to stand upon their own Guard, and ere long it will appear what Party they intend to side with. . We have written to them in case the Enemy march that way. The distemper continues in the Fleet; the Seamen generally poisoned. 6 Ships have openly declared 
b More than twice that number have already declared, and the rest are preparing so to do. , 3 at Harwich are right, 3 in the Thames, 2 at Chattham, 4 at Portsmouth; indemnity hath been offered to the Mariners and Kentishmen aboard the second time.  
June 13. at 8 in the morning. 1648  
To Lieutenant general Cromwell.   

SIR,  
WHilst the Enemy, under the Command of Goring and Sir Charles Lucas were in Essex, they had a solemn Debate how to carry on their Affairs; The Result whereof is, That their Army shall by no means engage in a Fight, but speedily go to the North to join with Langdale; That all endeavours shall be used they may have the KING in their Army: That the City be set upon a Common-Hall, thereby to engage them upon cutting throats. They express much joy at the Members being called into the House; say that things work as they would have them; And the House will in short time Vote down the Army 
c That in cipher by the dependence & connexion, seems to be invective, and conclusive against the late recalled Members and enlarged Aldermen as the chief obstructers of supplies to the Army. . The 687 743 or most of them 006 726 in the 785 21 53 177 756 counsel with them. The Recorder, Sir John Maynard, and Copley, sat in the House Yesterday. The 605 61 11 863 109 79 49 410 865 42 99 570 to your friends the 38 79 442 you 964 500 84 into 34 31 563 817 to furnish 136 with an 05 26 50 and all provisions for a 139 051 and are inquisitive whether 136 167 064 995 20 753. I have not further to trouble you but to subscribe.

Mr. Speaker,  
THe numbers at and about Pontefract are 
e They are now grown treble that number, & within a while will be of strength to receive Fairfax's whole Army.  230 Horse, and 400 Foot. They increase daily; with whom we hear Goring is resolved to join, and Langdale's Body also. Our Magazine is so empty that we are afraid to descend to particulars. The Countries are like to be speedily in a lost condition. We desire an effectual supply of Men, money, arms, &c. that our Forces may be looked upon as an Army, not as a defensive Militia: without which we may foresee and lament the sad and sudden consequences, but not prevent them.  
Signed, 

Francis Valentia.
