A party of rebels there last Tuesday after horses and money from taxes. Another party at Hamilton. Main body at Dalkeith, from where it is said they will oppose Wade or give him the slip. Doubts they dare attempt either. Their army not 10,000. Does not believe rumour of a party of them having gone into the North of England, 'their affairs are now come to such a Crisis'
