A dangerous sea-fight near the Eastern Coast, on Friday last between the English and the Dutch; with the particulars thereof, and the manner of the engagement etc.  
Right Honourable,  
THis morning we received advertisements, of a great engagement (yesterday) near the Eastern Channel, between the English and Dutch; the manner thus: The State's ships that were in this Harbour, having b●en supplied with such necessaries which they wa●ted, on the 23 instant, put forth to sea; but they had not long road upon the Neptune Ocean; but they made a discovery of about eleven sail of Flemmins, who had Letters of Mart from the States of Holland, to sight any ships whatsoever, belonging to the Republic of England, and to make prize and enjoy all whom they could take, which Pyratical Act, produced them the Name of Freebooters; but indeed this Title was at last dearbought; for, the English with a prosperous gale, bearing close up to them, gave them such a Volley, that it made even the wind and waves seem to contest for Victory; yet the Flemins perceiving that they were odds sufficient, being eleven to two, chose rather to embrace an honourable dispute, then to yield upon ignoble and unworthy terms; and truly, to deal plainly, and impartially, give the Devil his due, they fought very gallantly, till at last, our undaunted English Hectors, seeing nothing would daunt them, and perceiving the Victory somewhat dubious, resolved to fight it out either to Death or Conquest; and thereupon mutually resolved to live and die together; in order whereunto, so close and thick did they ply the enemy with Key-shot, long Chains, and Bolts of Iron, tha● divers of the Dutch were enforced to make the Sea their Tomb; Others, were made lower by the head, by the matchless force of Powder, and links of Iron; some had their arms and legs shot off; Amongst the rest, their Captain General Mine Heer Galen (son to Admiral Van-Galen in the straits) is lamentably dismembered; for, as he adventured himself in the greatest heat of action, so did he sustain the greatest share and sorrow in affliction, insomuch, that most of his wounds are conceived to be mortal. He loss will be much lamented; for 'tis said he was a man of singular knowledge and judgement in Martial Affairs, and the Art of Navigation; yet many of his own men condemn him for that Heathen-like expression, made use of and seconded by Admiral De-witte, as he was engaging lately against the English, I (said he) will lead on the fleet against the English, let the Devil bring them off again.  
Now whether it was an English or Dutch Devil I know not: I have better thoughts, and hope Almighty God, who hath delivered us in all our straits and extremities, will now give us a good issue of this War, and add further links of his Mercy to those who desire to extol and glorify his name; for indeed even in this appears his loving kindness, who was pleased to crown the heads of his servants, with triumphant and prosperous success, by vanquishing the proud enemy, and taking about 300 prisoners, and 4 ships, with little loss. The rest got off, being much rent and torn; but we hear since that two of them are sunk.

A Letter from Holland.  
SIR,  
NOthing but fire and sword will serve to allay the burning Choler of the Princely party, who are grown to such an extreme height of arrogancy, That down with your Parliament now they cry, and say this is the time to set their poor distressed Lord and Master in his Royal Saddle, and restore him to his disjointed Throne. But alas, it is not their high Rants, nor their quaffing of full bowls, that can bring to pass such mighty Revolutions, though they give out, that all Emperors, Kings, and Princes in Europe, will be instrumental for his Restauration; but indeed by the Eye of Reason, we must conclude this to be incredible, if we seriously weigh and consider the several I inks of his infinite mercy, towards your Parliament and Army, and how he hath sufficiently manifested his own will and pleasure, with that loud Declaration from Heaven, so mightily set forth in the late sudden Revolutions and Actions, before, and at Worcester; whereby he unquestionably appears to have given a full and final Decision of the Controversy, and seems as it were with his own finger, to poiut out to all the World his Resolutions for England.  
The Hollander solicits the French King, for a conjunction between France and the United Provinces, of which endeavours the issue is like to be fruitless. Yet that which bears up their drooping spirits, is, the withdrawing the Spanish forces out of France, the leaving of the Prince of Conde only upon a posture of defence with ten thousand, and the advance of Gen Thuren with the King's Army against him with eighteen thousand horse and foot.  
By which means, the Princely party retain some hopes of the advancing of their interest.  
Amsterdam 27 Novemb. stilo novo.  
The great fleet from Newcastle is now da●ly expected with Coals; some are come up as far as Harwidge and Ipswich, and care is taken to abate the intolerable and high price. Likewise, some provisions are making for the poor in every Parish, and certain Proposition have been presented to the General, by some members of the Army, for 4000 bushel of Coals to be distributed to the Poor in every Parish. An excellent Work of Mercy and Charity.  
The Parl. have voted Gen. Blake, Lie. Gen. Monk, and Maj. Gen-Dean, to be Generals of the Fleets for the year ensuing.
