Byron's Resolution and proceed, touching the Parliaments forces, and his vowing to take revenge for the death of Sir Charles Lucas, his brother in Law Honored Sir. THe King's Majesty's forces in these parts (being pleased to honour themselves with that gracious Title) under the command of the Lord Byron, (brother in law to the late Royal Hero Sir Charles Lucas) are in a marching posture, beating upon the Confines of Carnarvan, and other parts adjacent, levelling of forces, and summoning in the Country, but former experience, (touching their obedience to Summons,) bids the Inhabitants beware of a second Engagemen, which (indeed) they observe as the forerunner and messenger to desolation and destruction; And in stead of obeying any such summons, apprehends the Officers, who are to execute them; which proceedings, evidently demonstrates the realty and Resolution of the well affected in these parts; But the disaffected, on the other side, are of a contrary disposition, and instead of preserving the peace of the Country, foments the distractions and differences, as appears by their present complying with the adverse party against our forces, divers of them aiming themselves, some with long hooks, others with Swords and Halberds, insomuch t●at the tyranny and oppression of the most based of men hath been lately put in execution by them, who not long si●ce, fell upon some of our men in their quarters, killed a Gentleman belonging to Colonel Hortons' Regiment, and most barborously murdered another, cutting of his throat at one Mr. Morgan Herbert's house, in the County of Cardigan. The said Mr. Herbert and his three Sons, being the chief Actors therein, who buried him in the Dunghill on the back side of their yard, but by divine providence in a short time brought it to light, and divers of the bloody Actors were apprehended and taken, and committed to safe Custody. The Lord Byron is very active in raising of forces, giving our many threatening speeches against the Parliament, saying, That in a short time, they will pole and clip them, and leave not a man alive of 'em, at Westminster. Such threaten is no novelty, we have had plenty of them in these parts, and in the height of them, had brought the chief Abettors thereof, to severe and condign punishment. The aforesaid Lord Byron, exceedeth far more tyrannous, and barbarous then ever. He gives our, that he is resolved, to be revenged of the Lord Gen Fairfax, for the death of Sir Charles Lucas (his brother in Law) and we hear, that he hath done something already (in relation thereunto) to some of the Parlaiments friends. Col: Horton, and Col: Mitten, are marching towards Anglesea, with agallant party of Horse, Foot, & Dragoons, to fight the said Byron, or to force him into the Isle; And upon Saturday last, as our Intelligence saith, the Horse faced each other, and after ashort time, both parties advanced and prepared for an engagement, and after five of the clock in the evening, the forlornes were drawn out, charged each other, and after some dispute, the Byronians retreated, Colonel Hortons' men pursued, in which pursuit, divers were forced to leave their horses. Byron's Body of horse perceiving this, wheeled about, and without one shot, force their way towards Anglesea, where some prisoners were taken, some killed, and wounded, the total of is said to be about sixty, most of the said forces are got into Anglesea, where (at present) they remain. Colonel Mitten, and Col. Horton, are in pursuit of them, and it's hoped, will stop their passage, and prevent their coming out, for the future, which is all at present, from, Carnarvan the 12. of Septemb. 1648. Your most obliged, and affectionate friend, Thomas Wilkinson. The Remonstrance & Resolution of the Right Honourable, and truly valiant, Lieut. Gen. CROMWELL, in behalf of all His Majesty's loyal, and free born people of ENGLAND, concerning the Scottish Nation, & their engaging against Religion, King, and Kingdom. WHereas, the Scottish Army, under the Command of Iames Duke of Hambleton, which la●ely invaded this Nation of England, is by the blessing of God upon the Parliaments Forces) defeated and overthrown, and some Thousands of their Soldiers and Officers are now prisoners in our hands, so that by reason of their great number, and want of sufficient Guards and Watches to keep them so carefully as need requires the Army being employed upon other Duty and Service of the Kingdom) divers may escape away, and many (both since and upon the pursuit) lie in private places in the Country: I thought it very just and necessary to give notice to all, and accordingly to declare, That if any Scottishmen, Officers or Soldiers, lately Members of the said Scottish Army, and taken or escaped in, or since the late fight and pursuit, shall be found straggling in the Countries, or running away from the places assigned them to remain in, till the pleasure of the Parl. or his Excellency the Lord Gen. be known, it will be accounted a very good and acceptable Service to the Country and Kingdom of England, for any person or persons to take and apprehend all such Scottishmen, and to carry them to any Officer having the charge of such prisoners; or (for want of such Officer) to the Committee or Governor of the next Garrison for the Parl. within the County where they shall be so taken, to be secured and kept in prison, as they shall find most convenient. And the said Committee, Officer, or Governor respectively are desired to secure such of the said prisoners as shall be so apprehended and brought unto them accordingly. And if any of the said Scottish Officers or Soldiers, shall make any resistance, and refuse to be taken or render themselves, all such persons well affected to the service of the Parl. and Kingdom of England, may, and are desired to fall upon, fight with, and sl●y such re●users. But if the said prisoners shall continue and remain within the places and Guards assigned for the keeping of them, that then no violence, wrong, nor injury be offered to them by any means. Provided also, and special care is to be taken, that no Scottishman, residing within this Kingdom, and not having been a Member of the said Army, or such of the said Scottish prisoners, as shall have liberty given them, and sufficient passes to go to any place appointed, may not be interrupted or troubled hereby. This Declaration and Remonstrance being assented to by the Lieutenant General, and the rest of the Officers of the Army, were commanded to be forthwith printed and published.
