Newcastle, June 23.
SIR,
THe occasion of some Scots Letters lately intercepted, or the private Councels,
and actings of those in Scotland, do either cut off our weekly intelligence
from thence, or will not admit of postage for conveying it to us. Some say, Revenge
is the ground thereof; Others, that there is a further design in the Scots, to
keep things private at home for the present, and not to have any thing of publike
transaction dispersed out of their own Nation.
Some that come thence ward, report, That the Peace between the Prince and
Scots is absolutely concluded, others report it dubious; but their stopping of our
Letters, makes us jealous. Many of the forces that are dismist the Army, (as to
Burford business) come into these parts, declaring the hard usage they have lately
received from some, which occasions much pity, and great heart-burnings amongst
the people.
