SAtterday in the Afternoon an Express arriv'd from Scotland , and another Yesterday , both of which brought a succession of Glad-Tydings from that Kingdom of no less Import , then the Surrender of the Castle of Edenburgh to King William ; for as that Condition draw'd the Consequence of future Success upon the Rebel Dundee , so the Defeat of that Incendiary will no doubt contribute to the Re-establishing the Repose of that Country , which we find to be , viz.

That Major General Maccay by his Wise Conduct brought the King's Forces into such advantageous Posts in the High-Lands , surmounting all the difficulties which the Viscount endeavoured to bring upon him , by dogging him from Hill to Hill , Ensnared him at last in his own Politick Method , making such faint Marches and Counter-Marches , as to draw him into a Defile thro' which he could not so suddenly pass , but that it gave the opportunity to a Detachment of the General 's Forces , to oblige him to a Fight , which for some time was obstinately maintained by the Rebels , but within the space of Three Quarters of an Hour the Viscount with all his People was Intirely Defeated , One Hundred and Thirty being Killed upon the spot , besides divers made Prisoners , the Viscount himself narrowly escaping not with about Twenty Horse .

The other Express says , That the Parliament after their Adjournment to the 17 th Instant , met accordingly , to whom his Excellency , Duke Hamilton , his Majesties High Commissioner , made a most Excellent Speech , and had the Thanks of the House return'd him for it , they having gone thro' all the Preliminaries of taking the Oaths to King William and Queen Mary , Two Members only Declining , who were afterwards Expelled the House , and the Parliament affirmed all the Proceedings of the late Convention to be Legal and Binding .

The Lord Hume being brought to Edenburgh as suspected to be going to Dundee , is Committed Prisoner to the Castle . And it further adds , That his Majesties Ship , the Jerusalem , Captain Bettwell Commander , with others in his company , Laden with Ammunition and Provision from the City of Bristol , are safely arrived in London-Derry , ( as by Letters out of the Place assures , ) to the Inexpressible Joy of those People , the Irish not having then finished their Bomes across the Lough .
