Begun about two in the afternoon, the action was sharp and lasted till the evening ; the cavalry of the Parliament, weakened by the desertion of Sir Faithful Fortescue's regiment, which at the instant of charging, passed over in a body to the enemy, was put to rout by Prince Rupert: but in his inconsiderate eagerness, carried on also by thirst for plunder, he pursued them more than two miles, without troubling himself about what w-as going on behind him. Checked at last by Hampden's regiment, which came up with artil- lery, tho Prince hurried back towards tbe field of battle. On his return ho found the king's infantry- broken and scattered, the commander in chief mortally wounded and a prisoner : the king him- self had for one moment seen himself alone, and in danger of being taken.—The Battle of Edge-
