A. 1652. The DECLARATION Of the HOLLANDERS Concerning The English Fleet and the States Proclamation prohibiting Merchants and Sea-men to touch upon the Coasts of England SIR THe States of Holland find the people here to be so importunate and clamorous and in especiall manner the Zealanders who as if they were in a frenzy talk high and rave that they have been forced to publish in print the instructions which they gave to the Lord Hemstead at his departure for England by which we suppose our Embassadours are near home he was principally to demand of the Parl. of England four conferences therein To excuse the carriage of Admiral Vantrump towards the English Fleet upon the Downs to desire a cessation of all acts of hostility ●nd a restauration of all the ships taken by the English and to bring the final answer and demands of the Parliament and in case of delay upon the fourth conference to return back this was the sum of their instructions by which it is plainly apparent that he wanted power to conclude the Treaty so that from his return we can gather no hope of peace forasmuch as he and his fellows have performed their task in discovering the strength counsels and resolutions of England The publishing of these instructions seemed for the present to give som small content to the people allaying but not extirpating their fury which now boils in their breasts more then before insomuch that nothing will now content them but a war with England especially the Zealanders who ever were and still are more violent then the others Their rage is come to so high a pitch that they openly declare that if their Deputies at the Hague return home without letters of Mart for them against the English they will kill them the effects of their rage begins to break forth already for as certain Officers went about in Middleburgh beating of drums for souldiers in the name of the States of Holland and Zealand because the Prince of Orange was not also named a great tumult a rose among the people who laid violent hands upon the officers and drummers and threw them into the water The Yonckers alias Gent. vapour much and seem to set light by the power of the English at sea and have declared That they have not yet shewed how formidable they are because they judge the English Fleet at sea to be of small force and scarce worth the regarding but yet if they continue to take and seize their ships as now of late they have done they will rise up with all their power and sink burn and destroy them every one This is their dayly talk although they know that if they had not had the help of the English they had been long ago swallowed up by their enemies The States in the mean while are not insensible of the danger approaching near them as appears by their fortifying of Scheveling and many other places and building of forts round about them to hin●er and impede the landing of the English in case they should prevail against their Fleet and beat them and to s●cure the Hague which is defended with nothing but a graft and draw bridge The Elector of Brandenburgh hath promised to aid them with ten thousand men although I believe he will hardly make good his promise which sprung onely out of a Bravado by the perswasions either of the old Princess of Orange his mother in law or Count William his brother in law his small feats the last summer against the Duke of Newburgh discovers of what temper he is The States have published a Proclamation throughout all the Cities in Holland wherein they prohibit all Merchants and sea-men whose trade lies West-ward to passe any more by the Cliffs of Dover and Callis but to leave that narrow Channel where they must needs be in danger of ships Ports and Castles and so to steer about the Orkneys not touching if they can possibly avoid it any of the English coasts But this is a very uncouth far fetcht passage which our men who have tasted the sweetness and convenience of your Harbours are very sensible of Vantrump is out at sea with three squadrons of ships consisting of about 70 sail which are to secure our Coast and trade with the fishing if there be occasion besides he hath 24 ships which attend upon the East-India Fleet all which together with such as are c●ming to him are 107 sail besides fire ships amongst whom he hath given this order That in case any one be attacht and that the next might have relieved him and did not that offendour shall die without mercy Hague Iuly 3. 1652.

A Letter from Paris dated Iuly the 11 stilo novo Sir In my last I acquainted you with the affairs here and that an act of union was agreed upon between the Princes Parliament and City against the Cardinal and his adherents and consequently against the King It is now signed by all parties and they have proceeded already to change many officers of State who favoured Mazarine placing others of their own faction in their rooms they are now about to make the Duke of Orleans Regent of the Kingdome as soon as the Deputies of this Parliament are returned from the Court All the great officers of the City are fled in much fear being Mazarinists to the Court the King and Cardinal seem not to be greatly moved at these things but proceed to re-inforce their army which is much augmented by the addition of 3000 men under Gen. Rosa who hath united himself to Marshal Thuren It is reported that some eminent persons have been executed at St. Dennis by the Kings command who with the advice of his Councel hath passed a sentence declaring the City of Parts and all others that shall adhere unto the Princes Rebels and Traitors and still keepeth all provisions from comming to the City so that bread is excessive dear but the Duke is providing 4000 horse to be a guard for provisions that so the wants of the City may be supplied FINIS
