STRANGE NEWS FROM THE LEVELERS.  
Declaring Their proceed, under the command of Col. Martin, in Liecester-shire, and other parts adjacent, to the great terror and amazement of all his Majesty's liege People.  
SIR,  
COlonel Martin's approach with his Levellers in these parts, hath alarmed the Country, and put themselves into a posture to receive him, for preservation of their ancient rights and libertes, against their new design of levelling, who by their strange, politic, and subtle delusions, have wrought into the hearts of divers people to engage with them, especially, among those who are of a desperate fortune, and mean condition, the basest and vilest of men resorting to him.  
They rob and plunder exceedingly wheresoever they come, saying, They will level all sorts of people, even from the highest to the lowest, and that he that hath the most, shall be equal with him that hath the least; but we hear that Col. Martin hath given command, That no soldier whatsoever shall dare to plunder or use violence against any, but that they behave themselves civilly, executing nothing contrary to order.  
If these Orders be truly observed, in all probability they will grow very numerous, if not timely suppressed.  
Major Fincher using all means possible to accomplish the same, but as yet he hath found great opposition, notwithstanding the late blow given them in Berkshire, the manner thus.  
Major Fincher being commanded against the aforesaid Col. Martin, fell upon his forces, routed them, and took some prisoners, but rallying again, it's reported that they did some execution upon Major Finchers men, and afterwards forced their way into these parts, who of late deports themselves with far more civility then formerly.  
On Tuesday last a party of them came to Market-Harborow, which put the Market people into a great fear, some running one way, and some another: whereupon the Levellers perceiving this, made Proclamation near the Swan, and at the Cross, That no violence or wrong should be executed upon any, neither would they in the least disturb or hinder the Market. After which, they stayed a while at the Crown, and so departed peaceably: the Lord Grey is with his forces about Ashbydelazouch, and Col. Martin since the fair carriage of his men continues about Rockingham, which is all at present, from  
Your most assured friend, W. TURVIL. Liecester 7 Septemb. 1648.   

Terrible news from the Scottish Army, concerning the proceed of the Scots and Irish Forces, against the English forces, etc.  
SIR,  
The proceed of the Scots and Irish appears more visible and inhuman then formerly, their actions are tyrannical, their ways most insufferable, and executeth nothing but bloodthirstiness and cruelty, tending only to utter ruin and desolation: they have burned down divers stately buildings in these parts, executed some of my Lord wharton's Tenants, and threatens others, which causeth the Country to rise and join with Lieu. Gen. Crumwell, insomuch that there will be a sudden engagement. The L. General hath declared himself very gallantly to the Country people, touching the preservation of their lives and estates from the Scots, which takes exceedingly amongst the Inhabitants The Committee of estates have given out orders for raising of more forces to assist Monro.  
We hear that Gen: Munro with his Army is marched on this side Appleby, preparing for an engagement, his forces consisting of about 8000. and it is reported that 5000. more are joined with him from Scotland. Our Intelligence saith that he is resolved to fight Lie. Gen. Crumwel, and the rest of the English Forces, resolving rather to die, then yield ground, unless upon advantage.  
Our forces desires to engage, but could not pass by the way of Cumberland for want of provision, that County and Westmoreland being exhausted, besides the wet weather and mountainous ways makes carriages and Artillery unpassable had there been provision; in hose respects we passed by Skipton upon Craven, & so by the East Coast, where we shall have better opportunity to meet our enemy, who we are informed is passed at Steinmore in the Bishopric of Durham, where is plenty of provision and Anticovenanters, who bid them welcome to as much benefit, as Colchester got by entertaining the Royal party.  
Upon Saturday last Munroes Army randezvouzed at Borough near Stainmore in the Bishopric, who mastered near upon 8000. horse and foot, English, Scots and Irish, well armed and resolute.  
At which Rendezvous we hear, that Munro declared himself at the head of each Regiment, intimating His resolution to live and die with them, add to fight it out to the last man.  
Then he called a general council of all his Officers where it was agreed, That the Scots and Irish should be commanded back to Perith, and the English into the Bishopric, and that within two days they march up to the Randezvouz at Hexam Moor in Northumberland, which accordingly they did, where was a great appearance, Sir Philip Musgrave joining with them with a strong party of horse: the train of Artillery likewise came up, as also 20 piece of Ordnance: and it's generally reported here that 5000. more are coming out of Scotland, which if true they will make a very considerable Army. Divers English resorts from these parts to Munro, who are by their great Landlords encouraged, and promised to sit rentfree for the future.  
We march slowly, because we wait the coming of Col. Gen. Lambert with 4 Regiments whom we expect daily. Sir Wil Huddleston (a papist) hath raised a considerable party for the King, and besieged Cockermouth the Lancashire forces are gone to suppress him.  
Col. Fenwicks' horse and some Dragoons went near Barnick, relieved the Holy Island, stormed Fenham Castle near the Isle, in which was a Scots Garrison, took divers prisoners, put the rest to the sword: they summoned Hagerston Garrison, but the Scots sallying out of Berwick forced them to retreat.  

Richmond 6 Septemb. 1648.  
The last News from the Prince.  
Letters from Holland say, That great preparations is made at the Hague for the entertainment of the Prince of Wales, and that divers Courtiers are gone from thence with Coaches, to attend his Royal person from the Brill. The common report is, He is to rig the ships again, and those prizes which be got in the Downs, he intends to sell, and with the money to levy some forces. Among the States it was disputed, whether he should be entertained by them in a public way, or whether so much per diem should be allowed unto him for some time. The result it's said was, that one hundred pound should be allowed unto him per day.   

Hague Septemb. stylo novo.  
Other Letters say, That divers of the old soldiery are much discontented at the proceed in England, and vexed at divers great Ones who were at sea with the Prince, being resolved never to engage where such perfidiousness and treachery abounds. The Duke of York is come from the Brill to this City, the Prince daily expected but loath to leave his shipping. Divers of the Lords are come ashore, and the greatest part of the Navy gone to Gorce.
