The pretender's son lodged on the 9th night at Murray's, at a little village three miles West of Carlisle, on the 10th night at Blackhall three miles South of Carlisle, and was at Warwick castle by ten o'clock on the 11th. ... Upon the 12th the rebels remain'd at Brampton, Warwick Bridge, and the villages between those two places. They gave out that their whole army was to join that night, and that they had orders to hold themselves in readiness to march at ten o'clock, upon the 13th. They had 16 field-pieces along with them, ..." "Nov. 16 [1745], The following intelligence was reciev'd this morning from Penrith in the county of Cumberland, dated the 13th Inst." "The rebels who continued before Carlisle from Saturday till Monday last, retreated with their carriages and 16 field pieces to Brampton, eight miles from thence. They have continued there, and have been collecting their forces till nine this morning. Two persons of good character came to Penrith at five this evening, and declar'd they saw a large body of the rebels, which they gave out to be 7000, moving from Brampton to Carlisle, and heard numbers of them declare they were going to besiege it in form. That the rebels forced four carpenters to go along with them from Brampton, in order (as they said) to assist in erecting batteries. ..." |

They also seiz'd upon all the horses they could lay hands on, without any question relating to value or property; notwithstanding they declare the design of their expedition is to redress grievances, and correct abuses.

The Market here is on Tuesdays: It is 225 Miles computed, and 287 measured from London."
