The Duke of Buckingham got off; — might almost as well have died with poor Brother Francis here, for any good he afterwards did. Two pretty youths, as their Vandyke Portraits in Hampton Court still testify ; one of whom lived to become much uglier ! July 8th. Duke Hamilton, with the actual Scotch Army, is 'at Annan' on the Western Border, ready to step across to England. Not quite Forty-thousand ; yet really about half that number, tolerably effective. Langdale, with a vanguard of Three- thousa...nd Yorkshiremen, is to be guide ; Monro, with a body of horse that had long served in Ulster, is to bring up the rear. The great Duke dates from Annan, 8th July 1648. 3 Poor old Annan ; — never saw such an Army gathered, since the Scotch James went to wreck in Solway Moss, above a hundred years ago ! 4 Scotland is in a disastrous, distracted condition ; overridden by a Hamilton majority in Parliament. Poor Scotland will, with exertion, deliver its ' King from the power of Sectaries ; ' and is dreadfully uncertain what it will do with him when de- livered !
