ABSTRACT
At the time appointed the generals waited on him, with an account of what was past: and these threw no blame on each other. Hawley's conduct was approved; and yet it was judged, that he was more proper to obey than to command. The rebel army being got together, detachments were sent every-where to secure provisions, and to keep the country in awe. The Royal Brothers having met and consulted together, the result of their conference was, that the British army was to march to Aberdeen, and the Hessians to Perth, and from thence to Blair of Athole, in order to stop the return of the enemy, and to hem them in upon every quarter. While at Aberdeen his Highness acted in so princely and amiable a manner, that friends and enemies were obliged to confess the superiority of his genius, and the most distinguishing abilities.
