TWO Letters from the Fleet at Sea, Touching the late Fight.  
Gentlemen,  
YEsterday morning being at Anchor some 10 miles without the South-head of the Gober, early in the morning we descried the Dutch Fleet, about two Leagues to the Leeward. We made sail towards them, and between eleven and twelve at noon we were engaged; and for three hours the dispute was very sharp on both sides; which continued from three till six in the evening; at which time the enemy bore away right before the wind, and little more was done; only the frigates gave chase so long as there was any light to distinguish one from another.  
One of the Dutch Admirals was blown up, and three or four sunk, as we are informed. We cannot hear that any of our own ships was lost in this engagement, blessed be the Lord.  
We are at this time again very fair by them, and shall endeavour our utmost to engage them as soon as we can.  
It hath pleased the Lord to take away General Dean in the fight, an honest and faithful servant of the Commonwealth. He was slain by a great shot.  
In this Engagement we have spent the greatest part of our powder and shot; and therefore I earnestly desire you will take care that a considerable proportion may be suddenly provided for us and sent, with such Victuals and Waterships as are yet behind  
What ships are making ready in the River, may as soon as can be sent.  
This is the best account can be given at present.  
Your most affectionate Friend and Servant GEO. MONCKE. From aboard the Resolution, 14 Leagues from the Northforeland bearing west of us, June 3. 1653. at 6 in the morning.   

Col: bourn's Letter to his wife.  
Dear Heart,  
OUr Engagement was Yesterday. about two of the clock in the Afternoon. This time, at ten of the clock in the morning, we are in pursuit of Dutch, who, if they will stay, I hope we shall by God's Providence make an end of the War. And I hope we shall Engage the Enemy within an hour and less.  
From Aboard the Resolution, 14 Leagues off the Northforeland, the 3 of June, 1653. about East, and East by South.  
Our Master, and Lieutenant, and all the other Officers are well, but General Dean was taken off by a great shot.  
Your loving Husband John Bourn.  
FINIS.
