That about one o'clock upon the 1st Inst. the pretender's son proceeded to Dalkeith, from which place a considerable body of the Highlanders, who call'd themselves the advanced guard, march'd that evening to Pennycook, and another to Loan Head, both which places are at a small distance from Dalkeith, upon the road leading Westward to Peebles, Moffat, Carlisle, &c. those advanced parties gave out, that their whole army was to follow them the next day: That the pretender's son was to set out from Dalkeith upon the 3d, and that they were to march thro' Annandale to Carlisle: That the better to disguise their motions, billets for quarters had been sent to Musselburgh, Fisheraw, Inverask, Preston-Pans, Tranent, Haddington, and other villages upon the East road to Berwick; whilst considerable numbers were to march by night to the Westward: That they had along with them above a hundred and fifty carts and waggons full of baggage, besides great numbers of baggage-horses, and that they gave out that their intention was to proceed directly into England, to endeavour to slip by the troops under Marshal Wade, and to get into Lancashire.

The middle column march'd by Lauder, Selkirk, and Hawick, and the Eastermost column by Kelso. Marshal Wade was at Newcastle upon the 5th, and upon advice of the march of the rebels Southwards, had countermanded the march of the army under him to Berwick. ... ... |
