Lambert pursues and upon the 13. 14 and 15. of this instant drew up his Army within 6. miles of Carlile and faced the Town our Trumpeters sounded a Challenge but the enemy refused to fight and would not ingage whereupon a party of our horse advanced towards them and charged a body of Langdales and after some dispute worsted them killed 7. or 8. took 20. prisoners and put the rest to flight their main body not all this while once moving towards us The Major Gen. seeing no probability of engaging the Enemy after some consultation with his Offices drew off his Army and marched as far as Perith where at present they remain in an excellent postute of Discipline Wee expect action very suddainly From Scotland we heare that the Marquesse of Argile the Lord Eglenton the Lord Castles and some others in the West of Scotland are very active in raising of an Army to oppose Duke Hamilton but to blast the Bud before it comes to two much maturity a party of the Hamiltonians commanded by the Earl of Kalender the Lieut. Gen. is advanced against them and as we hear have fallen upon the Earl of Castles quarters killed some of his men and took some prisoners but with great losse for by a Messenger from Edenburgh it is intimated that the Lord Exlinton upon notice thereof fell upon their Rear and after a very sharp encounter worsted a party of the E. of Kalenders horse killed some and took divers prisoners but the Hamiltonians over powring them with horse it is feared they will have the worst out as appeares by this ensuing abstract Sir Since the E. of Kalenders advance into the West of Scotland the nearer part of the West is come in and so submit to the Levy and by their extream cruelty to the Countrey as they go they are forced to obedience Argile and the rest must upon necessity yeald by reason they have no horse to withstand them all the men in many of his Towns have left their houses and are fled into the Woods and Mountains to hide rather then to ingage 3500.

Horse and Foot upon the b●rders in all probability England would not this year be troubled with an Army from Scotland but the expectation of them to make a diversion hath occasioned some honest people in the West to draw together but the Lord Calender with a great body of horse and foote is like utterly to destroy them some have been imprisoned already and this week many hundreds plundered and utterly ruined for refusing to joyn with them the Lord Wariston was plundered upon Saturday night last and it is thought that both he and the Lord Chancellour will be put out of their places an ●imp●isoned ere long when it was debated in the Parl. in answer to severall Petitions which desired that there might be a Treaty with England before they proceeded to their Levie Duke Hamilton answered that so many Horse were raised already that no such thing could be hearkened to before they had brought their Horse into England to quarter them And thereupon he had an order to have a Randevouz upon the borders when he thought fit which will be as soone as they have done their work here who having above 3000. horse already though they have no foote besides the old Army yet they will soone both ruine all the considerable men who dare oppose them and force the rest to rise in a very short time The Parl. of Scotland have passed an oath that all should subscribe it is that they should obey and in their places execute all the Acts of this present Parl. the Committee came from the Committee of Estates to tender it this day to the L.
