General Helmfeld intend to follow after the Army. The
horse and foot consists of 7000 men; more Regiments are expected
from Sweden, and so (we hope) the Army will be

here. The Crown-Treasurers horse and Baggage are imbarqued;
and he, within this week, intends to be under
sail.

out with the Cart; this had not been known so soon if

was gone to bed. On Sunday it was published by found
of Trompets, that if any one knew where he was, he should
make it known.
