London, May 3. . . We hear that when the Duke's forces were
encamped the evening before the battle of Culloden, some
parties of the Rebels came forward to reconnoitre them, upon
which the tattoo was beat, and no notice taken of them; but
immediately after they were gone, his Royal Highness ordered
the tents to be struck, and marched all night towards the
Rebels; whose scheme could not be to fight the Duke, as they
seem'd to be packing up, in order to haste through the
Western road. . .
