- General Hawley and Cobham's Dragoons have joined the rest of the army at Falkirk and are within 4 miles of the rebels. 'There may be some action tomorrow', but wishes it were deferred until rest of King's forces come up, another regiment of horse and two of foot being expected. 200 militia from Argyle in town, to march for Falkirk tomorrow, and more expected to follow. Informed Prince of Hesse is come to Edinburgh, having landed with his troops at Dunbar, 'which will probably bring this unhappy Rebellion to a speedy end'
