A Let●er sent from the Earl of Warwick to Mr. Pym.  
Mr. Pym,  
BEfore these shall come to your hand I make no doubt but Mr. Nichols of the House of Commons hath made both Houses a Relation of what hath passed here since I received His Majesty's Letters for the discharging me of the command of the Fleet wherewith I was entrusted, how I called a Council of War, and acquainted them with his Majesty's Letters, and likewise with the Ordinance of Parliament, sent from the Houses for me t● continue my charge: I confess it was a great straight that I was put in, between two commands that have so much power over me: but when I consider though great care which I have ever observed in the parliaments of this Kingdom for the good and safety of the King and Kingdom, and every man's particular in them; and that they are that great Council by whose authority the Kings of England have ever spoken to their Subjects; and likewise that the trust of his ●leet for the defence of his Majesty and the Kingdoms was committed to me by them; and knowing the integrity of my own heart to his Majesty and Parliament, I resolved not to desert tha● charge committed to my trust, wherein God (blessed be his name for it) hath made me hitherto so successful, but to continue it until I shall be revoked by that authority that hath entrusted me with it; which having declared to my Captains at the Council of War, all of them unanimously and cheerfully took the same Resolution, excepting five, which was the Rear-admiral, Captain Fog, Captain Barley, Captain Slingsby, and Captain Wake, all which five refused to come upon my summons, as having no authority over them, and got together round that night to make their defence against me, only Captain Burley came in and submitted to me. Whereupon in the morning I weighed my Anchors, and caused the rest of my Ships so to do, and came to an anchor round about them, and besieged them, and when I had made all things ready, I summoned them.  
Sir john Man's and Captain Fog, came in to me: but Captain Slingsby, and Captain Wake stood out: Whereupon I let fly a Gun over them, and sent them word, I had turned up the Glass upon them: if in that space they came not in, they must look for me aboard them. I sent to them by my Boat, and most of the Boats in the Fleet. Their answer was so peremptory, that my Masters and Saylors grew so impatient on them, that although they had no Arms in their Boats at all, yet God gave them such courage and resolution, as in a moment they entered them, took hold on their Shrouds, and seized upon these Captains, being armed with their Pistols and Swords, and struck their Yards and Top-masts, and brought them both in to me. The like courage and resolution was never seen amongst unarmed men, so as all was ended without effusion of blood, which I must attribute to the great God of Heaven and earth only, who in the moment that I was ready to give fire on them, put such courage into our men to act it, and so saved much blood.  
I hope the Parliament will think of some course for all our indemnities, and especially for the Officers of the Navy, and principally for the Surveyor of the Navy, my Vice-admiral, a very able and good man. For myself, I doubt not but they that put me in this employment, will preserve me for serving them faithfully.  
I pray you Sir, be a means to Sir Robert Pie and Mr. Green, that some money may be sent us, for it hath been often promised, but hear not of it. The weather continuing stormy so long together, that we spend our Masts, and top Masts, or some detriment or other falls upon us daily, so that we are in great extremity for want of money.  
Thus, having nothing else to trouble you for the present, only that you will be pleased to acquaint your House of Commons with our proceed here, I bid you farewell, and rest,  
Your assured friend to serve you, Warwick.

A Copy of Mr. Henry Wilmots Letter to Mr. William Crofts at the Hague, intercepted at Sea by one of the Ships in his Majesty's service, and sent up to the Lord Admiral, and was delivered to the Commons by the Lords at a conference of both Houses.  
AMongst other Evidences of the disposition and designs of those in credit about the King and Queen, a Letter was intercepted at Sea by one of the Ships now in his Majesty's service, and sent up to the Lord Admiral, was delivered to the Commons by the Lords at a Conference of both Houses, which was dated the two and twentieth of June, from York, written by Mr. Henry Wilmot, one of those who were privy to the conspiracy of Mr. Iermin and others, about bringing up the Army the last year, and directed to Mr. William Crofts a servant of the Queens, by this Letter it appears, that they have had often conferences of dividing the estates of the Parliament men, and that this is the use they intent to make of the forces raised by his Majesty: And that they are grown so bold upon his protection as to vilify and deride the Parliament, & not only to contemn their summons, but shamefully to abuse their messenger with violence and scorn. Which Letter followeth in these words,  
For Mr. Crofts at the Hague.  
Dear Will,  
BY these last Letters to the Queen, you will find a great alteration of business here; the King, that very lately appeared almost abandoned by all his Subjects, is now become the Favourite of the Kingdom; yet I believe his enemies are not so neglected as not to be able to raise an Army to oppose him: and indeed here lies the jest, for they will be followed just enough to forfeit their estates, which I have heard you often say, were better bestowed on some of us. Yesterday there came a messenger from the House, who had Order, (and d●d raise the power of the County) to entreat Bartley, Ashburnham, and myself, to come to speak to the House; but the King gave the messenger a short answer, and an Officer or two gave him a short Cudgel, so he is returned to London (〈…〉) with his arm in a scarf. Dear Will, 〈…〉 your good opinion, for I assure you I am,  
Your most affectionate humble servant, H. Wilmot. 〈◊〉. York, 1642.  
Pray if Mr. Iermin be with you, present my most humble service to him.

A letter from ROTTERDAM.  
Worshipful Sir;  
I Wrote to you on Tuesday last, by a Merchant that had a Pass to come over land: but lest that should not come to hand, though little hath happened here since, I cannot omit this Post. The ship Lion that brought over Ladies of Honour, is now fitted to transport into England Prince Robert, Prince Maurice, Lord Digby, Lord Denby, Colonel Cockeram, Captain Hyde, Oneale, Sir Lewis Dives, with 80 or 90 Cavaliers more: they have fitted themselves with Armour of proof, and all other accoutrements of war, they have been very merry, and have drunk many healths to their good voyage: and in their Cups have made dividents of the Parliament mer● l●nds: They are very jocund, and were all abroad yesterday morning the wind being then fair, but held but a little space, and now blows very hard: so that God hath now stayed them. The Providence that lies at Brill, is to take in divers of them,: she hath taken much of their luggage, with two great G●●es, each 12. foot long, and shoot a Bullet of 44. pounds. Also the Lion at Hellward Sluice, hath taken in much luggage. There are three Boys or 〈◊〉 lying at Tassel, laden with Arms, and 38. Cases of Armour, shipped in Richard Lyndall of Hull, bound for London, I hear they be all Muskets, and there are in that ship 700. Croslets. Besides this, I was told by one, 〈…〉 in the Customhouse, all these shipped here by a warrant which they had 〈◊〉 for 700 Cases, which a Merchant in this Town saw and told; he, besides 〈◊〉 of the Customhouse, did confess it true.  
They give out divers reports of staying of arms, and of their declining their voyage. But we knowing their endeavour to work with all deceivableness, think them only tricks to confound our intelligence; for we see ●uch as are laden here, are not stayed. Indeed for certain, the State's General have given out a warrant of stay for arms; But so they did when all the arms provided against the Scots were transported; the Officers are corrupted, There is a Boyer lying within a mile of this Town to be frauthed with horse for P. Robert, a Merchant of this Town saw the Shippers Charter party, which is, that he carry them to what part shall be appointed by him between Dover, and Newcastle; The Prince undertakes his safe-convoy out, and home, and Isaac Light a Merchant of the Company here, hath bought 600. pounds worth of powder, and much match, where it is shipped, we cannot yet hear; they work with much privacy. Monday last, there came a Jewel from the Hage valued at 40000. Guilders by the Jewellers, they were offered 10000 Guilders upon it, but would not, and so it was retuned again. We cannot hear of any further pawning of the jewels, nor where they be. Master Webster went with Sir William Boswell to the Queen Monday last. Tuseday last was seven-night at 12. a clock in the night Master Piercy, Master Germin, Master W. Montague, and Davenant, came into the Hague with the Queen's Coach, and Footmen, this I was told by one Master The Cavaleirs do boast: that having a ship of 40. pieces of Ordnance, and another of 16 Pieces, that is the resolution of Captain Strachin, Captain of the Providence; yesterday at Helleford Sluice arrived Gustavus Horn with the happy entrance of the King, I hope the Captain of her, will not do as the Captain of the Lion; This being all of any moment that we hear here, I humbly take my leave and rest.  
Yours to command
