Williamson 1649. JOYFULL NEWES From the Fleet at SEA And a Narrative of the severall Fights and Ingagements between the two Navies since the first of Aprill 1649. SIR SInce my last of the second of this instant we have received certain information of the further proceedings of the Princes Fleet and that they have 〈◊〉 the Navy into three Squadrons the first commanded by Prince Rupert who is to guard the Irish Seas and to attend the motion of Col. Jones Governor of the City of Dublin for the Parliament of England the second by Prince Maurice who with 20 Sayle is to attend the motion of Captain Moulton in the Western Riding the third by Captain Jerden designed for the Lands-End to attend the motion and coming out of the parliaments Summers Fleet all which though numerous in shipping yet weakly man'd and dare not engage unlesse with great advantage the Seamen begin to moulter in their affections and shew a great dislike of the proceedings of their Officers for divers who have escaped at their coming into Creekes do declare That they begin to languish for their late perfidious Revolt and would fain make a recantation and that if once they could have the opportunity to come ashore are unanimously resolved to desert the princes service however if they cannot purchase their liberty one way they are resolved to faciliate it anothe and that upon a neer Engagement with the Parliaments Fleet it is believed they will take the same resolution as the Land Souldiers have formerly done and upon good articles and conditions deliver up their Officers to mercy c. Some action hath lately hapned between divers Marchants and prince Manrice his ships and much hurt done on both sides but after some dispute and severall boardings the Victory fell to the Marchant Men of War who sunk two of the revolted ships wherin was 50 piece of Ordnance and chased the rest above seven Leagues but by reason of a storm they were forced to desist from further pursuit and to leave them to the mercy of the raging Billowes These ships are said to be bound for London Lyn and Yarmouth who hold conjunction together for the safety and preservation of their Marchandize Since which time we have received other joyfull intelligence from the Maurician Fleet and it is likewise confirmed by two men of War who last night cast anchor in this Harbour they purport that upon their crossing the Western Channell they were set upon by six of the princes ships who gave them 12. broad sides but were answered again with another Volley from the Sons of Mars and after a hot conflict became victiorious killing many of their men chasing the rest some taking their pursuit without a Mast others without a stern and their Sayls all rent and torn But by reason of the distempers of the Sea and the dangerous breaches they had received from the Enemies round shot were forced to strike in here for refuge for the repairing and new rigging of their ships Those who have been in action with them report them to be as cowardly an Enemy as ever engaged upon the Neptune Seas and that 30 of the parliaments ships wel man'd will in all probability soon expell the fury of 60 of theirs We heare that Capt. Moulton is in a defensive posture and that he sayles sometimes within sight of the princes Fleet but declines engagement at present We likewise hear of a great insurrection arising in prince Ruperts Squadron the manner thus two Seaman speaking some words touching the unjustnesse of their cause and the unlawfulnesse of their engagement being over-heard were brought before the prince and according to Martial Law were adjudged to die and to be hang'd up at the main Mast but the Seamen hearing thereof unanimously rescued him from the power of the Marshal other Captains were summoned to see the princes tyranny performed but their Mariners likewise joyntly resolved not to execute the same Bristoll 7.
