Another great and admirable VJCTORY Obtained By his Excellency the Lord Gen. MONK Against the Scottish forces With the total routing and dispiersing of General Glencairns Brigade the number killed and taken and the pursuing of them above three miles by Major Bridges and Captain Babington With several other Remarkable Occurrences touching the Transactions of Military and STATE Affairs London Printed by K. Wood 1654. Another great and glorious Victory obtained by his Excellency the Lord Gen. Monk against the Scottish forces THe Lord Gen. Monk having refreshed his wearied Army neer sterling he again drew forth against the enemy and upon his advance towards Loughaber where Middleton lyes with his scattered forces another party of the enemy were discovered Whereupon a party of five hundred Horse and Dragoons vvere commanded forth under the conduct of valiant Major Bridges and resolute Captain Babington vvho charged the enemy vvith such abundance of magnaninity and dexterity of spirit that they immediatly routed them and embraced the pursuit for three or 4 miles doing admirable execution and taking about 150 prisoners vvith the loss of 7 men The enemy consisted of about 1500 men being part of Gencairns Brigade and going to unite and joyn with Middleton against whom valiant little Morgan is again designed but the enemy decline engagement By an Express from Hainant the 27 of July it is certified That the King of Scots being gone from Peron towards the Spaw was met within a League of Peron by the marshal Thurenne and de la Ferte who conducted him as far as the Enemies Countrey whence they returned with the D. of York who is now made Lieutenant Generalissimo Soon after the Governor of Cambray of the Spaniards met the King of Scots and conducted him to his Lodgings and there feasted him like a Prince Since which time he is gone to the Spaw The King of Sweden having sent new Letters of Credence to Monsieur Bonnel his Resident his Lordship had Audience by his Highness in White-Hall being attended by Sir Oliver Fleming master of the Ceremonies and divers other Gentlement And after a very grave and learned Oration he presented his Highness with the Royal Condescensions of his Lord and Master To confirm and maintain all things particularly contained and specified in the Articles of Union c. After which the two Deputies from the Duke of Holdenburgh had both Audience by his Highness and then the Secretary from the States of Venice Unto whose assistance a gallant Fleet is preparing for relief of the Christians against the Turk Between whom there hath been two great Naval Fights but in the first the V. netians lost the Galley of Padua Monsieur Moriciui was killed and his Galley blown up with powder but after three dayes vigorous and lamentable engagment the Venetians became Victors In wh●ch memorable and Christian Dispute the Turkes lost 20 Galleys five Mahoncs and six men of war and the rest were forced into the Isle of Scio where the Venetians have had a second Victory and again sunk 6 of their Gallies and taken six ships and three Mahones with the loss of three of the Venetian Gallies The French go on victoriously with the siege at Stenay and with as much vigour before the Camp at Arras Indeed true it is great has been their success since the making of the Duke of York Lieutenant General and that upon his approach within a League of the Spanish forces before Arras with the whole Army upon the way of Doway where he intrenched upon a design to cut off all provisions from the enemy the Prince of Conde at first represented his Opinion at a Council of Officers that the enemy being but 14000 the best way wold be to engage them with hopes of success but his advice was waved Then the Duke gave them an alarum and faced them with his horse which the French perceiving made a sally with some horse and foot with such vigor and resolution that they routed the Spaniards at first but the Prince of Conde coming in seasonably rallied them and forced the French into the Town again with some loss in which conflict his Highness fought half an hour somtimes on horseback and sometimes on foot at the head of the Trench where the valiant Knight de Crequy who commanded the French had his Arm broken to pieces and was hardly gotten off and several other Officers and souldiers were killed and taken Since vvhich time Marshal Thurene hath presented himself before the Spanish Lines in hopes of breaking through to relieve the City but the business proved not feasible so that they vvere forced to retreat with some loss Since that 5 or 6000 of the spanish horse vvith some foot in the Rear went to take and fortifie the passage of saint Paul five miles from Arras and as many from Air to secure the Convoys sent toward the Spanish Camp which Gen. Thurene having notice of pursued them with a body of 7 or 8000 horse to spoil the design of the Spanish forces But since that another party of 4000 horse of the spanish Army have been to meet a Convoy which they have conducted safe into the Camp which being done they were presently sent to joyn with the first party commanded towards the said St. Paul so that we do expect very suddenly to hear of some engagement between these two parties FINIS
