Monroe who are to march in two Bodies and to advance with expedition towards the South which indeed they might easily do were it not for those resolute Heroicks in the North who are resolved to stop their passage and to fight with them be they three to one as appeares by their late resolution sent to the Scottish Army intimating that if they prosecuted their Design against this Kingdome they would give them a field with 10000. men against any 30000. they should bring FINIS
