Another Message from his Majesty, or a reply to the aforesaid answer and the declaration made on the fifth of September thereon by the Lords and Commons in Parliament accompanies this despatch. Adjoined to them are two Journals of what had been done in the House of Commons during the week last past. In two or three days, we shall know what resolution the Lords of the Upper house will have adopted on the subject of the Episcopacy. Those of Scotland also desire that the Church government may be assimilated and rendered uniform in both Kingdoms. A Parliamentman told me to-day that the West Riding of Yorkshire hath pronounced for the Parliament, and that the two Serjeants major who were sent up from Boston with nine or ten Officers, are placed in separate prisons. News is received here of the siege of Sherborne [Castle] from which the ' Edward Sackville, 4tli Earl of Dorset, K. G., was born in the year 1590. He represented the county of Sussex in the time of James I.; accompanied the forces sent in 1620, to the assistance of the King of Bohemia, and was engaged in the battle of the Prague. He was Ambassador to France in 1621, and succeeded to the title, on the death of his brother, in 1624. In the following year, he became one of the Lords of Trade ; in 1627 he was appointed one of the Commissioners to conclude an alliance with the States General, and in 1633 one of the Lords of the Admiralty. On the breaking out of the civil war he adhered to the King; superceded the Earl of Essex as Lord Chamberlain ; in 1646, he, with others of the Council, signed the capitulation for the surrender of Oxford, and in the following year retired into private life.
