THE KING OF SCOTS MESSAGE TO THE Northern Counties and his Sister the Princess of Orange Right Honourable WHereas it hath pleased God to honour the Parliaments Forces with extraordinary success in England as the effect of Gods mercy and the consequent of good Order and Discipline so likewise His Divine Majesty hath been pleased to add a further Trophie of Conquest to his Servants in Scotland and to make them instrumental of breaking the host and power of his Enemies For on the 17 of this instant we fell upon the Scots now Levies in the West and after a sharp dispute gave them a great Defeat killed about 300 on the place and took divers prisoners Yet notwithstanding we hear that the Marquess of Argyle is raising Forces and so are divers Shires in the West and in the North A good Force and a good Councel might do well to reduce and settle this Land As for their King No man can tell what 's become of him so that its probable his former demonstrations will now produce a Verification for upon his advance for England He sent a Letter to the Gentry of Cumberland and Westmerland intimating That he had left Scotland with a Resolution never to return thither any more and had cast himself upon his good Subjects of England leaving the event and success thereof to God This week we received an Express from the Low Countries containing Occurrences of very great consequence printed at the Hague in Holland a Copy whereof followeth THe King of Scots grows every day more formidable th●n other and marched without opposition in great hast toward his chief City of London being within a dayes march of it with four score thousand Horse and Foot This great news hath since been confirmed from Ter-Veer in Zealand brought thither by an Expres● sent by the said King to his Sister the Princess of Orange with this addition That on Thursday the 28 of August at ten of the clock in the forenoon the said King had made his Triumphant Intrado into London whose he was received with the greatest acclamation that possibly could be expressed As also that two ships were arrived at Roterdam with Parliament-men flying to save their lives The English at the Spa and other places in Holland have lately had a day of Jubilee and to ratifie the truth of their frantique-joy gave out that the king of Scots had a more formidable power in England then ever his Father had that he increased like a snow ball in his march but I am certain he dissolved as fast in his Retreat and that the Citizens in most places set open their Gates From Ireland We he●r that Limerick is even upon their knees gladly would they accept of the first Offers of my Lord Deputy for they have many division among themselves which will necessitate them to a surrender On the 25 of August they made a sally upon our Guards with 1000 foot and 300 horse We had a dispute with them for an hour killed of them above 80 and wounded many we have 9 slain and 35 wounded Clare Castle is blockt up and Galloway much straightned The Lord still direct and protect the Parliament and council of State and give the godly in the Land eyes to see and hearts seriously to consider what dreadful dangers and grievous inconveniencies they have run themselves into by refusing to own and be faithfull unto those whom God in much mercy hath set in authority over us and under whose authority we may if we will lead a godly and peaceable life From Holland it is certified as followeth SIR WHen Captain Beck was at Rotterdam with his Ship the Vice-Admirall of Holland was ready to come to sea but where it could not be told nor at that present understood There were two French Ships that did come in thither for convoy for France and they had two convoyes granted them And some of our friends there heard some discourse between the French and Hollanders to this p●rpose The French men did say That there was a Parliament Dog in the Harbour meaning Cap Becks ship The Dutch men answered that they would hoyst him in if they should meet him at Sea Cap Beck was forc●d to come with his Convoy hither and left them at the Brill From the West-Indies we hear that the Lord Willoug●by seems to have an inclination for the surrender of that place Yarmouth 19 Septemb. 165● By Letters from Portsmouth we have received an account of the prosperous success of the good ship called the Tyger a Copy whereof followeth SIR THese are to acquaint you That God by his good grace and hand of Providence hath brought us out of the Straights in safety unto the Port of Portsmouth with the Angel Captain Rand and the Bonadventure Captain Hoxton and one Merchants ship in Convoy laden with Currants and Silk And likewise at the Bay of Bulls at my going into Cales I had intelligence of a Frigot there riding which came from France laden with linnen cloth the which I did surprise All her cloth being delivered I found in her about 20000 Dollars of pieces of Eight Spanish Moneys besides a good quantity of Bars of Silver and some Barrels of Cochenel and Bills of Lading assigned for St. Mallows and Ross in France Which moneyes and the Silver I have on board the Tyger and as for the Frigot she hath ten pieces of Ordnance in her
