From Dundee, 25. September.
OUr hors made last week a second march to Aberdeene.
In our passage a view was taken of Dun-Otty castle,
which is the strongest Hold we have yet seen in Scotland: and
if supplies of Foot come timely, we shall attempt it.
Our men of War took a Scotish vessel, a Pirate, at Aberdene,
which first field thither for shelter, and therein six pieces
of Ordnance, store of wine, and other Commodities.
Marquess Huntley and Belcarris (who are now the chief
Commissioners) are marched up into the Highlands. They
have about 2000 Horse and Foot: They have appointed
severall particular Rendezouzes; but their generall Rendezvous
is not till the Third of October, at which time all
are to appear under pain of Rebellion. They expect the
Marquess of Argile to bring in 4000 Foot; but its thought
he will deceive them.
The Scots will not beleeve in their remote parts, but that
they have a good party up for them in England.
From Lieth the 27th of September, they write, that Anandale
