IN few words, Montrosse
had this day One thou∣sand
four hundred
Foot, and One thou∣sand
horse, or thereabouts in the
Field; the Foot are most of them
killed, many of the Horse are esca∣ped;
Lanerick took Spotwood priso∣ner,
with the Seal of Secretary in
his pocket: One thousand four
hundred Foot and Horse were sent
by Monroe into the Highlands, and
six hundred another way, being
confident that Lieutenant Generall
Lesly was South of Newcastle,
when in truth he was in Scotland.
All Montrosse his Papers are taken:
Two thousand two hundred Scottish
sent for into Ireland, are landed in the
North of Scotland: VVe hear no
further news of a meeting about
our businesse; my service to your
Master▪
From your Servant.
The good service of some Eng∣lish
in Commissary Generall Mid∣dletons
Regiment is much spoken of.
