MONDAY 10.
The rebel officers taken at Carlisle, being 39,
besides a French colonel engineer, and 4 others, were
brought to town in 4 waggons and a coach, under a strong
guard of soldiers; part of them were carried to New
Prison, and the rest, among whom was Hamilton
governor of Carlisle, to Newgate, except the
Frenchmen who were conducted, the engineer in a
coach, and the others in a waggon, to the Marshalsea
prison; (the pretender's bishop of Carlisle, Cappuch,

rudely treated by the populace, who pelted them with dirt,
and shew'd all other marks of abhorrence of their black
designs.
