Right Honourable,
The day before yesterday, was Consiscate at the Councel de la Marine, the English Ship
called the Greyhound, taken in the Levant Sea. I am informed from Rouen, of the 28.
(alias II.) May, that 2 Irish Ships, the one carrying 18. the other 14 Peeces of Ordinance,
belonging to the Popes Nuneio, have taken 2 English Ships, the one of Which they have sent
mounted with 14 Peeces into Ireland, and the other they have carried to Havre de Grace,
which is a Man of Warre, and without any Merchandize at all.
We must hope that henceforth the Parliaments Navy, will not only hinder but repaire such
losses; And that if their Tituler King be but once passed into Ireland, there will be more
cleare correspondency from hence, which some labour to prevent.
