From Scotland is this week arrived very good and true Intelligence
of the landing of Montrosse with 10000 Swedes and
Danes, who are joyned with those Commanders formerly arrived
about the Island of Orkney, the Marquisse himself is Generall
of the North, and Collonell Massie Lieftenant Generall,
and Sir Marmaduke Langdale in command under him, besides
divers other gallant Commanders, their Army already
consisting of about 15000. able and dissiplin'd Souldiers, he
shipped from Holstein about the 27 of October, stilo vetere, in
seven French and Dutch ships, and was Convoyed to Frithe in
Scotland by four Men of Warr, two of them belonging to the
King of Denmarke and the other to Van-trump, at the report of
the arrivall of these in Edenbrough, David Lesly, and divers other
of the Nobility and Gentry that before stood as neuters,
declared openly for the King,and seized into safe hands divers
Castles and places of strength, whereof Edenbrough is one;
Argyle seeing this, and finding his hopes frustrate,hath left all,
and shewd them a fair pair of heels, and is come into England
to begge protection of his fellow Regicides; They now begin to
talke of Crowning their King,and it is thought, that His Majesty
will be crowned at Edenbrough this next Christmasse at the
furthest;the Lord Libberton is returned into Scotland from His
Majesty,and hath brought Instructions for the Army, giving
his Subjects of Scotland great satisfaction in divers particulars,
whereupon they are now putting forth a Declaration to all the
Presbyterian Party in England of their good intentions to their
King, inviting them to their ayde and assistance in restoring his
Majestie to his rights,and his Kingdoms to that moderate Government,
that all (but Sectaries, and their Confederates) may
enjoy their own in the fruits a happy Union; Gen. Lesly is
joyned to them with 4000 horse & foot;and they have already
seized on divers that were most active of the Argylian party;
what the Issue of this will be we shall soon be made sensible;
the Juncto have ordered Lambert, with 9000.men, to quarter
about Barwick, and the Borders, to observe their motion; they
already fetch in horse and Cattell, under notion of Mosse-Troopers.
The Scots at first did kindle this sad flame,
And 'tis high time that they doe quench the same.
FINIS.
