SIR,

MAjor Gen. Lambert hath received a letter from D. Hamilton, intimating, that the P. of England had not given satisfaction to the Parl. of Scotland in their de∣sires sent unto them, for effecting whereof he was to come with an Army into the Kingdom of England, in which en∣terprize, he expected no opposition from him. Gen Lam∣bert returned him answer, That as to non satisfaction from the Parl. of England, he had not to say; but as to his ••omming in an hostile way into England he had authori∣ty from Parl. to resist any power not raised by them, and therefore declared, that he and his Army would oppose, and fight with them, as traytors and enemies to the Kingdome of England, & that this great breach of Covenant between the two Nations, he doubted not but would be revenged up∣on them to their utter ruine, &c. This Letter together with the Answer, was read in the House of Commons, July

12. and the Commons voted, that they approve what Maj. Gen. Lambert had sent, in answer to the said Letter of D. Hamiltons.

It is reported, that the said Duke Hamilton with his Army have entred England, and are joyned with Ma∣jor Gen. Langdale, and that another Party are to crosse Tweed, commanded by Major Gen. Monroe, who are to march in two Bodies, and to advance with expedition towards the South; which indeed they might easily do, were it not for those resolute Heroicks in the North who are resolved to stop their passage, and to fight with them, be they three to one, as appeares by their late resolution sent to the Scottish Army, intimating, that if they prosecuted their Design against this King∣dome, they would give them a field with 10000. men, against any 30000. they should bring.
