A Letter from Holland.

SIR,

THe English fleet, by reason of the foul weather, are gone off this Coast, and Dewit taking an opportunity thereby, sai∣led out of the Texel with sixty men of War to convoy their Fleet into the East Countrey, and to endeavor getting home the East India ships, who still remain at Copenhagen. We hear that young Van∣trump is before Leghorn with the Bonad∣venture and seven men of War, and that he hath blocked up Mr. Elger an English Merchant. Since which time; it is adverti∣sed, that divers others are joyned with him, so Report makes him 35 sayl, and that he intends to divide into two Squadrons, the one to ply at Leghorn; the other, up to Barcelona; so that keeping in the Trade way it is very difficult for any shipping ei∣ther

to pass up and down the Straights; yet we do not hear of any more then one English ship takën of late, which was pur∣chased at a dear rate; for she fought it out to the last man, and buried within the cur∣led Ocean above 200 men before she was taken.

But our Letters from Malaga the 7 dito advise, that the ship called the African was safely arrived there; notwithstanding, in her way, she met with a whole squadron of the Hollanders; but it pleased God she brake through them all, and safely arrived at her wished for Harbor, though she recei∣ved above 100 shot in her sayles and tack∣lings, and yet not one man either killed or wounded.

Bril Septemb. 10. 1653.

We have received ••dvertisements, That part of the English Fleet are attending the motion of De∣wit, and that the rest are designed upon another ex∣cellent Atchievement. Withall, that 35 Prizes are brought into Yarmouth, Alesborough, and Har∣wich Roads, lusty Vessels, but their lading not so considerable, being for the most part laden with Salt, French wines, Brandies, and some Vinegar, all homeward bound from Nantes and Rochel.

From whence, we hear, that there hath been a very great Earthquake in Natolia, where a Moun∣tain had over-whelmed a whole Town, to the loss of much Treasure, and above ten thousand persons were buried in that heap of Earth, to the great a∣stonishment of many hundreds in those parts.

FINIS.
