BLOUDY NEWES From the Princes NAVIE
Declaring The proceedings of the Revolted Marriners, and Sea-Royalists, and their bloudy Fight neer Goree Harbour.
Noble Sir,
THe Princes Royall Fleet continues their great insolent and deboystness to the Flemmings, and runs ashore at their owne will and plea∣sure,

drinking and disordering themselves, and fighting with the Dutch-men, insomuch, that the Boars, and o∣ther of the Inhabitants began to rise, forced them a∣board their ships, and are now resolved to suffer no more to land.
Whereupon the Sea Royalists began to mutiny a∣mongst themselves, and at the last fell into such an a∣gony and passion, That they encountered each other, fought resolutely, disputing their Decks with halfe Pikes, Musquets, Swords, and other Warlike weapons, killing neer vpon twenty, and wounded many, throw∣ing them over ship-board into the Sea.
In which insurrection some of the Commanders in chief were wounded, who used all means possible to beget a calm to lay so great and bloudy a storm, and after great diligence, and much importunity therein, they prevailed, promising a generall Act of Oblivion to all the Abettors, Fomenters, and others, who had a hand in the said Riot or Insurrection.
The aforesaid differences being composed, a Letter were sent to the Prince, purporting, the great wants of the Marriners for want of money, and their mutining in the ships, which caused a great distraction amongst them, de∣siring some considerable summe to satisfie their Desires: whereupon it was ordered, that the prizes taken at Sea should be sold for payment of the Marriners.
A sudden Engagement is expected between the E. of Warwick, and the Princes Navy, for we hear that the Parliaments Fleet are floting upon the Neptune Seas towards Goree in Zealand, to sight the revolted ships.
Amsterdam 26. Sept. 1648.
