was read, and they have taken Order for the
arraignment of the prisoners; Penruddock & Jones
and Mack the Apothecary of this place came yesterday
to this Town from London in order to
their Tryal. By the next I will give you a more
particular accompt. The Commissioners that sit
here are these under written. The Commissioner
Lisle, Lord chief Justice Rolls, Baron Nicholas,
Justice Wyndham, Sergeant Glynn, Sergeant Steel,
Recorder. Penruddock and Jones are gone this
morning toward Exeter.
Concerning the Imbargo in France, there are
many English Barks come from thence to this
place, & other ports in England; and if we believe
the Letters from Calice, St Valerie, Diep, Roan, they
all run thus, that the particular Embargo laid upon
English ships and goods was taken off, but a
for the general Embargo or Arrest laid upon all
ships and barques to the very boats, even of their
own Nation; for the better pressing of Sea-men,
the same is not yet taken off, but that they expected
every hour an Order from the Court for that
purpose. Some Letters out of the West speak,
That we have lost lately some ships taken by the
Brest Pirats about the mouth of the Channel, but
mention not the particulars, what number, or
whence they were.
The Letters from Marseilles of the 12 instant
advise us, That our Gen: Blake was gone from
Tunis, and was gon to Malta, there to demand som
satisfaction for those Piracies, which they have
of late years committed on English Merchants in
the Levant seas, whereof a further account by the
next.
