¶ A true copy of a Letter of special consequence from Rotetrdam in Holland, subscribed by several credible hands; and sent to a Citizen of good note in London: being very considerable to be taken notice of by all the well-affected throughout the whole kingdom; but especially by the city of London.  
SIR  
THe Ships we advised you of in our former Letter lie ready with Ammunition for the Queen, and 'tis not yet certainly known whither they are bound; we fear the report of the good success of the Parliaments Forces in the North, may make them go for the West: and so it is here supposed there is great need of Ships to be ranging about the Seas to attend this bloody Fleet. There is one Peacock that hath in him 1200. Barrels of powder, 4000 Pikes, 1400. Granadoes and much chain-shot, 3600 Muskets, besides store of Carbines and 4000 pistols; two other Ships are hired of about two hundred Tun apiece to carry Ammunition, wagons, mortars, Soldiers, and some thousands of Saddles, all which we desire you to advise the Parliament of; also many Horses are provided: the Prince gave the Queen since her return from Sea by the storm twenty four fair Horses, and supplies her to his utmost: also sixteen Ships we hear with eight thousand Soldiers are ready to sail from Denmark, from whence most of the Moneys for these goods is made over to Mr. Webster of Amsterdam. The Queen hath provided Ammunition for sixteen thousand Men: she hath procured an Act from the States, that all her Baggage and Ammunition should be shipped without visiting by any Searcher; yea, that none should come aboard to examine after the goods, of what nature and quality soever they are, all which are past by the state's Act, without one penny of custom: a copy of which Act we have procured under a publious Notaries hand. We hear also there are sixteen thousand Muskets, with thousands of pistols come to Dunkirk out of Lukeland for the Queen: but our hope is that God (who hath so mightily appeared in blasting this design by water, raising his storms to the confusion of many of them) will still go on to perfect his work: which is the hearty desire of your friends to serve you.
