Another bloody fight at Sea between the English and the Dutch, upon the Coast of Denmark; the particulars of the Engagement; one hundred of the Hollanders ships taken, and fifteen hundred prisoners taken, etc. SIR, AFter a long pursuit of the Hollanders upon this Northern Ocean, with great difficulties (at last) we came to act the Theatre of Europe's Tragedy, and to dispute the groundwork with fiery Arguments, and Canon Darts, which was with great resolution performed both by the Assailants and Defendants. But after a sharp fight, with some of their best men of War, (having taken five, and sunk three) we bore up to them, with such Thunder-cracks, and shouts of joy, that the lightning of our Canon, soon deadened the spirits of the Dutchmen, and in less than half an ho: we became victorious, dispersing the whole Navy; upon which achievement, we took seven gallant Men of War, one hundred of their fisher Vessels, and about two thousand prisoners; the chief Officers whereof are committed to safe custody; most of the private soldiery have taken up Arms for the Commonwealth of England. In this conflict we had many killed and wounded; but lost not one ship. The Enemy declining Engagement, our General was the first that bore up to them, in pursuit of Victory; the James headed the Resolution; and made up to the Enemy, with the rest of the Fleet attending the motion; which the Enemy perceiving, endeavoured to recover the Sound, and accordingly effected the same; but General Blake being advertised of their Design, sent a Message to the K. of Denmark, beseeching his Majesty to prohibit sanctuary for any such Assiniators. Whereupon he drew off from the Sound, to the end that he might invite them to the Ocean; the Dutch having notice thereof, weighed anchor, and then resolved to play out their Game; but our General (though an enemy to the Card, played the Trump between Hanse and the Sound; so that 300 of the Hollanders flew up, and descended at Bressies Bay (an Island) in Scotland, where they are fortifying; and entrenching themselves, resolving to dispute the Game with Us. But believe me Sir, if Mr. Vantrump receives such bussing after this rate but a little while longer, his mighty Masters will hardly embrace him, for his great pains in neglecting their unsatiable belly-timber. Aboard the Garland July 20. 1652. At Anchor near Bressies Bay. By an Express from Portsmouth it is certified, That on the 21 instant Sir George Ayscue came upon the Western Coast with fifty gallant Men of War, and intends to expedite after the eighteen sail of Dutch, sent from Vantrump to convoy the East-India ships to their desired Ports: the wind was very fair for him, till he came near the Road of Portsmouth, but then turned full against him; so that he stood in to the Bay for an hour or two, and then taking the benefit of the Tide bore up again to Sea, and by that time it was dark got clear of Bembridge point: indeed his putting in there, though not intended by him, proved very providential for the Council of States Letters to Sir George, coming an hour before night, were immediately sent to him: He still bears up after the Enemy, and it's believed a good account will be given of his heroic Achievements very suddenly; for he embraceth braceth all opportunities, and exceeding vigilant in his motion. The Zealanders have put to Sea a Fleet of Threescore sail, which lie hover about their own Coast to secure their Merchants and Fishermen, rather than to engage further in the public service. Van here de Wit is Commander in chief, and a great favourite he is to the Royal family, as appears by his carrying on, and declaring for the King of Scots interest; who is expected daily at the Hague, where great preparations are making for his reception and entertainment; for indeed he hath been much solicited by the Estates of the United Provinces; and upon advice with his Council, it was determined; what the issue will be, few days will manifest. We have likewise received Advertisements, that the Queen of Sweden hath set forth fourscore sail of ships, all Men of War, but whether they are bound, they are not pleased to declare, but ride on still with Commission in pocket, having already passed the Zound. The Dutch have made a League with the King of Denmark, and having hired the Zound for 140000 Pattacoons, or dollars per annum, by which means the Swedes will be enforced to pay Toll; yet notwithstanding they are in a League defensive with Sweden against Denmark, and defensive with Denmark against Sweden; they are also in a League offensive and defensive with France; and a League de non offendo with Spain.
