LONDON , Printed for geneall satisfaction , of the English and Scottish 〈…〉 A Great fight on Sunday last between two Armies of England and Scotland . Honoured Sir , SInce my last to you , dated the 14. of this instant , The Scots Horse are advanced from Carlile , towards our Quarters at Perith , and thought to have fallen upon our Out-guards , and surprized our men in our quarters , but by the vigilancy of our Scouts , they were discovered , and notice were given to our Horse Guards , who were kept 4 , miles from Perith in the Road to Carlile : Whereupon C●ptain Bethel ( a man of known valour and integrity ) receiving the Allarm , caused his Troop immediatly to mount , and with 5. Troopes more , and 2. Troopes of Dragoones advanced towards Warwick bridge , to receive the Scottish ●ockies , which accordingly they did ; for about 2. miles on this side the bridge , a party of the Scots horse ; and 4 Companies of foot , were drawn up in a Close , and stayed only for Orders , their horse who gave the Allarm , retreated another way , so that they had not the least notice of our coming , but upon our near approach , they cryed out , Horse Horse , Arme Arme ; but notwithstanding all their preparatives , our Dragoones dismounted , and got the hedge , and the English ground ; they fired again , and kept their ground , and after a sharp dispute , and furious conflict gallantly maintained on both sides , we gained ground , and beat them out of the field , where they first charged us , they be took themselves to another field , ( the sence thereof being only supported by a small stone wall ) breast high , where they fired very resolutely , but our Dragoones pursued , and made way for the Horse over the wall , which the Scots perceiving , betook themselves to flight , our men pursued them 2. fields , but by reason of fresh supplyes coming to them , made good their retreat , with little losse . In this conflict we lost about 8. men of the enemies , we found dead in the place above 20. who might easily be discovered by their gray shootes and blew Bonnets . It s said that Lieutenant Col. Hames , and Major Ennis , who commanded in chiefe , were mortally wounded , for ndeed they fought resolutely , charging three times through our body of horse , a gallant break-fast at their first coming ; This action happened upon Sunday morning last about 2. of the Clock in the morning , The Armies of Duke Hamiltons are marched on this side Carlile ; the said Duke entered England with about 9000 horse and foot , about 50. Troops , and 70 Companies , their horse not so big as ours in England , excepting those brought thence , there were not so many at the Randevouz at Dunfreese , but more came up , there are very few much affected to the cause , and therefore escape as fast as they can back , which being foreseen , necessitated a degree of raising continually , the Cannon was not come up , nor was there much need , for though speed was made to get upon English ground , yet is it not like they will advance far before they have setled Garisons in Barwick and Carlile ( according to the large Treaty ) which are to be delivered up to them , & out come the English to joyn with Sir Marmaduke Langdale , and so there will be ● . Armies : The Scots Forces are come as farre as Roase Castle , a fine house belonging to the Bishop of Carlisle , and 5. miles on this side the City , but now burnt down because not tena●ble . Major Gen. Lambert lies at Perith about 12. miles from Carlisle , and seven from the Scots , from which place he intends not to budge , expecting 600 horse and dragoones daily , who came from Wales by the way of Chester , also what Yorkshire can afford , the Magistrates of Barwick sent to Scotland ( and it 's like Carlisle will do the like ) to know what terms they should have if the Scots Garison come in : Sir Iohn Morley being escaped from London , is a gallant golden man in Scotland , as any Covenanter of them all , and is now with the Duke , the Kingdome of Scotland generally disaffected to this War , the Ministers speake broad and say , the Divill is Gen. D. Hambleton is but Lieutenant Gen , and that he nevr prospered in any undertaking and they hope he will not in this , and they have a strong faith that way , the Royall English say , get they their ends , the Seots shall be little the better for comming into England . Two Troopes only left in those parts , all the rest gone to Lambert , the Letters which were interchanged between Duke Hambleton , and Major Gen. Lambert , being the Harolds that past before enterance may not unfitly follow . Perith Iuly 16. 1648. Noble Sir . THe Parliament of the Kingdome of Scotland , upon consideration of the great danger eminent to Religion , his Majesties sacred person , and the peace of this Kingdome , from the prevailing power of Sectaries & their adherents in England , did lately send to the Honourable Houses of Parliament such demands , as they conceive just and necessary , whereunto not receiving any Satisfactory answer and finding the danger still increasing , and great forces drawne together upon their borders . The Committee of the Estats of Parliament have thought fit to lay thei● commands upon mee , with such other Noble personages as they have joyned with mee in this service for prosecuting their just desires in pursuance of the ends of the Covenant , according to the joynt Declaration of both Kingdomes , 6. Jan 1643. and 1644. for setling Religion liberation his Majestie from his base imprisonment , freeing the Honourable Houses from such constraint , as have been by forces long upon them , disbanding of all the armies whereby the Subject be free from the intollerable taxes and quarter which they have so long groaned under , and for procuring the settlement of a Sollid peace , and firme union betwixt the Kingdomes under his Majesties Gogovernment . These being the true intentions and desires of the Kingdome of Scotland who will most faithfully observe on their part their engagement by government and Treaty to their bretheren of England ; except you will not oppose their pious , loyall , and necessary undertakings , but rather joyne with them as the prosecution of their ends . I shall desire that the bearer , my Trumpter , may not be long kept , but returnd with your present and possitive answer , that accordingly I may move as I am commanded . Sir . I am your Servant , J. Hambleton . A●an July 18. 1648. To his Excellency Duke Hamilton , and Generall of all the Scotish forces by Sea and land . MY Lord , I received a letter from your Lordship , by your Trumpet , which mention that the Parl. of Scotland ( having upon consideration of the danger to Religion , his Majesties Person and Kingdoms , Sectaries in England ) addrest themselves to to the Parl. of England for redresse , and have not received a satisfact●ry answer therein , To which ( my Lord ) I shall not take upon me to give an answer , seeing the late Ordinances concerning the settlement of Religion , their sundry addresses and propositions tendred to his Majesty in order to the peace and wel being of his Kingdoms are published , and laid open to the view of the whole world , and which I doubt not but are well known to your Lordship . To what your Lordship mentions concerning the encreasing of danger by the drawing of some forces upon the borders of Scotland , I can more fully answer , having the charge and conduct thereof , by Commission from his Excellency the Lord Fairfax , and have his positive Command to be most tender in acting anything , such might give any seeming occasions of offence to our brethren of Scotland , which Commands I can confidently say I have hitherto most consci●ntiously and punctually observed , and further that I do b●lieve it never entred into the Parliament or his Excellencies thoughts to act any thing prejudiciall or harmfull to the Kingdom of Scotland ; And what the true reasons are which do occasion the drawing of these forces so neare the borders , I shall not need to mention : All men knowing it to be for the suppressing of Sir Marmaduke La●gdale and his adherents , who are many of them Papists ; and grand Delinquents , and are lately risen in Rebellion against the Parl. and have ever and still are notorious opposers of the ends of the Covenant , according to the joynt Declaration of both Kingdoms 6. Ian. 1648. for setling Religion , his Majesty in his due rights and Prerogative , and for the procuring a firme Peace and Union betwixt both Kingdoms . Signed I. Lambert . Joyfull Newes from Kent . Endired Sir , THe Tide is now turned , our Countreymen begins to thwart the Sands ; for upon the Intelligence of the Duke of Yorks landing with an Army from Holland , and the Scots coming into England , they resolved to adhere to their late principles , and to stand for the defence of the liberties of their unconquered Nation , and have declared their joynt resolution to oppose all forces whatsoever that shall endeavour to make an inroad within the Bowels of this County , to disturb the Peace thereof , being resolved to display their Banners , in opposition to the Van of the new raised Royalists . Waymer Castle July the 20. 1648. FJNJS .
