An Account of the Taking the Late Earl of ARGYLE , and the Running away of the Rebels in SCOTLAND .

Published by Authority .

Whitehall , June 22. at Nine in the Morning .

SInce the Account we received yesterday from Scotland , which is already made Publick in the Gazette , a Flying Pacquet arrived this Morning with Letters Dated at Edenburg the 19th Instant , at Ten in the Forenoon , with this further Account .

The Earl of Dumbarton , Commander in Chief of his Majesties Forces in Scotland , having notice that the Rebels had passed the River Levin above Dumbarton , Marched from Glascow the Seventeenth very early in the Morning after them , they taking their way towards Sterling , and overtook them in the Parish of Killerne ; The Horse and Dragoons kept up the Rebels till the Foot arrived , but they were Posted in so strong a Ground , and it was so late in the Evening , that it was not thought fit then to Attack them , so the Kings Army stood in Battle all Night , to be ready so soon as Day-Light appeared , to fall upon them , but the Rebels with great silence Marched off in the Night towards the River Clyde , which they Swam with their Horse , and carried over their Foot in Boats near a Village called Kilpatricke , and so got without much resistance into Renfrew . The Kings Army missing the Rebels in the Morning , Marched with all diligence to Glascow , where , after they had rested two Hours , the Earl of Dumbarton with the Horse and Dragoons Marched after them , leaving the Foot to follow with all the haste they could make , but soon after he received Intelligence , That the Rebels were Running away in great Confusion .

The same day ( being the 18th ) about seven at night , three Servants belonging to Gentlemen of Renfrew , found the late Earl of Argyle running away with a Bonnet on his Head , endeavouring to get towards the Ford of Clyde at Inchennan ; He refused at first to tell his Name , or to render himself , whereupon they Wounded him , and would have Killed him ; but that he told them he was the Earl of Argyle ; Then they took him and brought him to their Commander the Lord Cochran , who carried him Prisoner to Glascow to the Earl of Winton , who Commands there , and who sent this Relation to His Majesties Privy Council at Edenburgh .
