A TRUE RELATION OF The taking of a ship sent from the Queen out of Holland to his Majesty, October the 4.  
ON Thursday the sixth of October, a packet of Letters was brought to the House of Commons, & from thence referred to the close Committee for the defence of the Kingdom, which came from Yarmouth, and came out of Holland from the Queen which were intercepted in this manner, viz.  
The Queen of England having bought a ship with her own money, sent the same over into England with ten pieces of Ordnance, and forty or fifty barrels of powder, and a hundred and fifty Cavaliers which were to land at New Castle, and from thence to be conveyed to his Majesty, the King of Great Britain.  
But when the said ship c●me near to Newcastle, she was driven in at YARMOUTH by a contrary wind, and when the Cavaliers that were in the said ship perceived that there was no remedy, but that they must come into Yarmouth, where they knew they should be searched, and all their intentions made frustrate, they began to bethink with themselves, that it was better to dro●vad all their Letters, then to put it to the hazard of having all their Secrets come to light,  
And thereupon they agreed, that they would sink their Packet of Letters in the Sea, before they came to Land,  
And for the better effecting of this, they put into the packer two or three bullets, and so threw them into the Sea, which being perceived by a Fisherman that was in a small boat near to the ship, the said Fisherman dived after it into the Water being well acquainted with the depth of the Waters in that place) and took up the said Packet of Letters, and presented them to the Governors of Yarmouth.  
Whereupon the said Governors immediately resolved to send them to the Honourable Court of PARLIAMENT the great Council of this Kingdom, which was this present day being the sixth of this instant month of October presented to the house of Commons, the worthy Members of the said House gave order and Command, that they should be referred to the close Committee, which was accordingly performed, and at the opening of the same, there was one Letter sent from the Queen in HOLLAND to the Kings most excellent Majesty, as followeth.  
That her Majesty intends to be in England very speedily, having fourteen of the Hollanders ships ready provided for her conduct into ENGLAND, together with divers other Letters, the particulars whereof are not as yet known.  
It was also informed to the House, that the said ships and the Cavaliers, and other provision of War that were in the said ship were seized upon at Yarmouth, and there detained custody, until they receive further Directions from the Parliament,  
This is the true and perfect Relation that came to both Houses upon Thursday, being the sixth of October.   

A true Relation of Master Hothaws taking of Keywood Castle.  
THis day News came to the House out of Yorkshire, that Master Hotham disclaimed any consent or agreement to the Articles of a peace between the Earie of Comberland and the Lord Fairefax and the rest of the Gentry of the County of York: And that for said agreement Master Hotham with his Forces took the Town of Selby, and hath stopped the passage of all boats to York, and taken a strong Castle called Keywood, belonging to the Bishop of that Diece, and resolves to maintain his Majesty's Pretogative, the Rights and Privileges of Parliament, the Laws of the Kingdom and the Liberty and propriety of the subject according to the Instructions sent unto them of that County from the Parliament, he being of opinion, that the Articles agreed upon are prejudicial to the whole Kingdom, and of that County in particular, and that no one County ought to withdraw themselves from the common cause, bue to aim with the Parliament in the defence of the Kingdom, and with them to labour by all good means to procure a general peace and protection from the King, for all his subjects with both the Houses of Parliament, have by many humble Petitions desired by His Majesty but cannot yet obtain.  
And according to the Parliaments Declaration, if they should suffer any particular Counties to divide themselves from the rest of the Kingdom, it will be a means to bring all to tuine and destruction, and therefore the said Mr. Hotham is ready with those forces that he brought with him from Hull to assist the Parliament in this cause which news was very acceptable to the House, in regard that they had voted the said agreement to be void, because it was destructive to the peace of the Kingdom, and agreed that the L. Willoughby of Parham in Linc●l●shire, should make all the speed he could possible to aid and assist Mr. Hotham and the rest of the County of York that are well affected to the proceed of Parliament against the Earl of Comberland▪ for the settling of the peace of that County.
