2 O'clock in the afternoon,

Lord Byron, at Chester, to John Williams, Archbishop of York, at Conwy. His Grace's letter of the 4th instant received this morning. In the writer's answer to the Archbishop's former letter he has said all he can. At the same time he likewise writes to Sir John Owen. Owen has received orders to march with all speed to Denbigh. The other Welsh forces are now at Ruthin. It was ever the writer's intention that Sir John Owen should have the command in chief of all the Welsh forces next under the Prince and himself. Sir Edmund Verney, who does the duties of Major-General for Flint and Denbighshires, is so discreet and well tempered a man, as well as a good soldier, that the writer hopes there will be no dispute at all, and Sir John Owen will find himself much eased by his assistance and that of other officers that are with him, in the ordering of the raw multitude. The writer that day received a letter from Maurice, who came to Shrewsbury on Tuesday night last. He will bring considerable new forces along with him, between 3,000 and 4,000 horse and foot. The enemy lies on both sides of the river between Holt and Farne. Since the news of the Prince's approach, they advance not far into Wales.
