Terrible NEWES For the City of LONDON THE great insolency of the Royal party within and about the City of London occasions much jealousie from the Army the hatred and malice of the Royalists being so great that it over swayes their discretion so much that they canno keep themselves within the bounds of ordinary civitlity and discover themselves by seeking their privat-revenge as appears by their late horrid action executed upon certain Members of the Army neer the Strand who by some of the bloudy Conspirators were most barbarously murthered in their Beds This inhumane Design strikes terrour to the well-affected party who being much perplexed thereat acquaints the Army therewith insomuch that some of the commanders forthwith sends a letter to the City the effect whereof followeth The Armies Letter to the City VVE are much startled at the insolency of the trayterous slaves in London to kill two Officers of our Army one in his bed and the other with a cowardly stab and of their intended attempt to pistoll our Generall besides many assaults upon Members of Parliament and their Design to have massacred fourscore of them We do protest if the Royall slaves continue their insolency and put uny of these Designs into execution we will for every mans life take one hundred of their owr party and according to the quality of each massacred person and will hang up their heads on spires of steeples that the world may see the just judgment of God upon these Rebels and Traytors which his Maiesty contesses are guilty of all the innocent bloud of the four hundred thousand soules that have perished in this War This Letter was thought fit to be published to the view of all persons whatsoever whereby all whom it may concern may take notice of the sense and resolution of the Army and their reall and candid Desires to prevent he effusion of bloud for the future And do further declare That they look upon the city of London with a tender eye and affection being resolved to ingage both life and fortunes for the defence and preservation thereof against all opposition whatsoever Further declaring That it is the resolution and desire of the army to use their utmost endeavours for the supporting all those who have adhered to them even in the great and perilous times of War and to act upon such principles that may tend to the publique safety of this Kingdom The Danes Disign against the Kingdom of England ON Tuesday Octob. 3. By an Expresse from Scotland it was advertized That the Royalists of England have been very active in the Kingdom of Denmark for the arming of a party against this Kingdom and after some consultation touching the present affairs of this Nation 10000 Arms were designed for them by the Danes and shipping appointed to transport them into Scotland who accordingly arrived in Lieth Road thinking to joyn with the Scots Royalists but being discovered by the Marq. of Argyle a party were commanded our in severall long Boats and smal Vessels who soon boarded the Danish ships seized on all the Ordnance arms and ammunition and secured the ships in the Harbour o th Letters make mention That The Lieutenant Generall had no sooner set footing on the Scots ground but great acclamations of joy transcended from one part to another amongst the well-affected party of that Nation throughout the Southern Climate protesting to assist him with all that was near and dear unto them for regaining of their liberties the gaining of a right understanding between both Nations and the vanquishing of the common Enemy of both Kingdoms And upon a generall Councell in relation to the Affairs of our Neighbour Nation it was ordered That the Parliaments two Armies of England and Scotland should forthwith advance against Monro and his Forces and the question being stated who should command in chief the Van of the Army to advance against Sterling Bridge the main Body of the Enemies Army having intrenched themselves thereabouts Lieut.

Gen. prepared to receive them insomuch that both Armies ingaged disputing the ground with great resolutnesse and gallantry the famous Sparks of Chivalry on each side exchanging many a bullet betwixt the two Bodies firing at the very Breast and counterchanging their ground during which Conflict Monro appeared visible in the very Front of the Enemy who upon a sudden indangered much our left Wing but after a sharp dispute the Lieut.
