SIR, The States of Holland have declared, that their late Embargo shall continue no longer then the 5 of May; their Admiral Tromp hath received Instructions to rendezvous the whole Fleet before Scheveling, from whence they are to be brought into Texel. In Zealand, Flushing, Middleburgh, and other places, the people are extremely mad against England, insomuch that it is dangerous for an English-man to pass the streets. We hear that Prince Rupert is once more designed for Portugal, but he hath not above 4 ships to attend him. He hath richly laden a Fleming with prize goods, and Col. Carteret is dispatched to the Scotch King for a Judgment, to make sale thereof. There are divers ships set forth against the English, who carry the Duchess of Savoy's Flag, and we hear that they have taken divers English ships; amongst the rest, they have seized on the Welcome of London, bound from Lisbon to Genoa laden with sugars, and another ship with cloth bound for Barbary: Having seized on these two prizes, and made sure of them, a while after they met with another English-man, and having given her several broad sides, made up to her, and immediately came to grappling; but the English seemed at the first to be irresistible, and gave them 22 broad sides one after another, playing their Grenades, and casting over balls of wild-fire; yet notwithstanding, by reason of their being overpowered by the Touloners, at last they were overpowered, and soon ⟨p. 11⟩after boarded; but to the honour of English-men be it spoken, they fought it out by inches, and disputed both Deck and Hold with great gallantry, even to the last man. Brill 20 March, 1652.
