London, Printed by John Field, Sept. 9 1650. A TRUE RELATION OF THE Routing the Scotish ARMY Near Dunbar, Sept. 3. instant. SIR, ON Saturday, August 31. the Army marched to Haddington, where in the night time the Enemy attempted with a Party of mounted Musketeers to come near the Town-walls, and there made a volley of shot, which our men permitted, until they had received them within shot; and then our Foot, being of Colonel Fairfax's Regiment, and himself leading them up, fired, and sent them back in a full career; we lost not one man, Captain White of Colonel Fleetwoods' Regiment, had his Horse shot under him, and himself bruised. The Enemy my left two dead behind them, besides what was hurt. On Sunday, Sept. 1. The General marched the Army ●o Dunbar, the Enemy marched about two miles distant in the Rear; his Excellency drew out the Army into the Field close by the Town, and the Enemy flanked us upon the Hills on the right hand, where they lay all night within a mile of our Army; they sent a Party to possess the Pass at Copperspeth, to cut off correspondency betwixt us and Berwick. All Monday, Septemb. 2. our men stood in Battalia in the Field, we could not go up to engage the Enemy by reason of the Hills, nor would they come down to give us battle; but that night it pleased the Lord wonderfully to look upon us, not only in a happy Deliverance, but a singular and glorious Victory: a Party of ours advancing to gain the wind of the Enemy, were discovered by a Party of theirs who came to alarm us; but notwithstanding (through the Lords great mercy) after above an hours dispute at the Pass, upon the Roadway between Dunbar and Berwick, our men obtained their end, possessed the Pass, whereby we might with ease come over with our Army, which was prosecuted so effectually, that about break of the day on Tuesday morning both Armies were engaged; out Horse and Foot charged them so resolutely upon a steep Hill, that they stood only two shocks, and soon left their Train; the Foot threw down their Arms, and both Horse and Foot ran several ways, some towards Copperspeth, but the greatest part towards Edinburgh; we pursued them as far as Haddington, killing and wounding them all the way: There were above 4000 slain upon the place, and in the pursuit, about 10000 taken Prisoners, most of which are wounded; many of note and quality taken, the Lord Liberton, Lieutenant General Lumsden, and many more, of whose names, and the names of the Officers of note taken, a List is enclosed as was given in to the Marshal General; there are more brought in hourly: Their word was, For the Covenant of Faith; ours, The Lord of Hosts: And indeed, this is the Lord of Hosts his own do, and it is marvellous in our eyes; The Lord of Hosts was above the Covenant: We took all their Train, being 32 Pieces of Ordnance, small, great, and leather Guns, all their Foot Colours, besides Horse; there are already brought in near 200 Colours, Horse and Foot, all their Arms, Tents, Bag and Baggage; this is a just judgement upon the Enemy, who the day before having taken about 30 of Col: Prides men, who being to possess a House between our Army and theirs, & not seconded by those appointed to bring them off; the Enemy killed three of them, and wounded all the rest after Quarter given: The Lord General's Regiment of Foot this day led the Van, and charged the Enemy with much Resolution, and were seconded by Colonel Pride's men, who were even with some of them for their cruel usage to their fellow Soldiers the day before; we lost not Forty men in the whole Engagement, and no Officer that I can hear of but Major Rooksby, who died of his wounds the next day; Captain Lloyd of Lieutenant General Fleetwoods' Regiment sorely wounded, Major General Whaley had his Horse shot under him the first charge, himself slightly wounded, his Regiment charged through the Enemies whole Army, and back again with little loss: Major Straughan was in this Fight and charged desperately; Lieutenant General Lesley's Servant was taken; there were of note of the Enemies killed that we already hear of, Colonel Gilbert Kerr, Colonel Grace (formerly an Adjutant General in our Army) and Lieutenant Colonel Croxon. We took from all their Foot short skeans and long knives (such as the Irish use) to stab a man when they come within him. Dunbar, Septemb. 4. 1650.
