Corn for not delivering his Horses.
From Deal the 9. of February.
There hath passed through this Road several ships this
week, which came from the Southward, and are all bound
for London: there hath been high winds lately, which
have made some wrack upon the Coast of France about
Callice, Bullein and those parts, among others a Dutch
man of War, of good strength, who rid in Calice Road,
was beaten upon the shore, broken in peeces, many of the
men drowned, onely a few saved: there are very few ships
at present in this Road, this North and Easterly winds having
carred them away.
These ships aforementioned are all safely arrived in the
River of Thames. Also several prize ships, whereof five
Dutches prizes with French wines, one ship with Currants,
and about ten other Dutch prizes are expected every Tide.
From Falmouth 16 thus.
Here are still many ships here, who are bound for London
and othe parts to the Eastward of this place; all those
that were here, being gone some for Ireland, and others
for Portugal, Spain and West Indies, we have not heard
lately any news from Ireland, onely by way of Barnstable,
we hear that the Irish Rebels would again be stirring, and
to that end are gathered into small bodies: with the
which they have lately done us some mischief, this winter
season being very advantagious to them, and is a means that
those Rogues cannot be supprest so soon as is to be wished.
From Cows in the Isle of Wight Feb. 8.
Our Fleet doth still ride near St. Hellens point. Upon
Monday last, there passed by this Island near 30 sail of
ships, which come all from the Streights, Spain, and Portugal,
and are for the moil part bound for London, as we are
informed by a small Vessel, who came along the Channel
in their Company, that a private man of War hath brought
in two prizes, the one a Dutch ship, of a considerable bigness,
and the other a French Vessel, which rides between
this place and Yarmouth.
