<HEAD>THE PROCEEDINGS OF The King of Denmark, touching the Re&s;ident of the Par|liament of England, and his Orders for unlading the Engli&s;h &s;hips detained there.</HEAD>
<OPENER><SALUTE>SIR,</SALUTE></OPENER>
<P>THe Re&s;ident of the Parliament of England, Mr. Brad&s;haw, after many hazards in Denmark, and in his way out of it, at length arrived here in &s;afety. The K. of the Danes notwith&s;tanding his promi&s;e to the Merchants and Sea men, that they &s;hould have li|berty to charge and di&s;po&s;e of their goods, was plea&s;ed to put guards upon all the detained &s;hips, not permitting the Engli&s;h to have any further power of any thing: he hath al&s;o ordered the &s;peedy unlading of them, under pre|tence they have ammunition aboard, but really (it is thought) to make men of war for his own u&s;e, of 5 or 6 of the be&s;t of them.</P>
<P>The Kings officers pretended all done, onely to &s;ecure
<PB N="4" REF="3">the Goods from being imbezelled by the Sea men, and with intent they &s;aid, to deal with them, as the State of England &s;hould deal with theirs.</P>
<P>As concerning the Re&s;ident him&s;elf, he hap a very ha|zardous time of it, from his fir&s;t comming to Copenha|gen. Much was di&s;covered of de&s;ignings again&s;t his life, and the lives of his company, by wicked men; in&s;omuch that he was nece&s;&s;itated to demand a guard of the King of Denmark to go along with him through his Country to|ward Hamburgh. The King &s;eemed much di&s;content that he &s;hould demand a guard, but yet did grant it at the Re&s;idents own Charge, &s;ending eight of his own Life-guard to him, with warrant under the Kings own hand and &s;eal, to convoy him and his company &s;afe to Ham|burgh.</P>
<P>With this protection the Re&s;ident &s;et forth from Co|penhagen the tenth of February, and the next day he pa&s;|&s;ed over the fir&s;t Belt or Water, and afterward cro&s;&s;ing the Belt again, he came into the Duke of Hol&s;teins Country.</P>
<P>He had with him in Company above twenty Ma&s;ters and Engli&s;h Seamen; and having put him&s;elf into the Kings more &s;peciall protection, all means was u&s;ed that could bee for &s;afety, from the hands of bloudy men.</P>
<P>The poor Engli&s;h Ma&s;ters and Seamen being turned out of all, came with a pittifull cry to the Re&s;ident to re|lieve them &s;ome way, that they might get home, le&s;t after the lo&s;&s;e of their e&s;tates they &s;hould &s;tarve in that coun|try, or be forced to &s;erve again&s;t their own. Whereupon, he took order to relieve 60 of them with food at Copen|hagen, till they can get away hither by &s;ea to Lubeck. About twenty of them he brought along with him over land.</P>
<PB N="5" REF="3">
<P> It is &s;uppo&s;ed, that the &s;hips detained at Copenhagen, are al by this time unladen, and tho&s;e made u&s;e of, that are fit to &s;erve again&s;t England.</P>
<P>What preparations are made by the King of Den|mark, you may &s;ee by this inclo&s;ed Catalogue of his &s;hipping.</P>

<HEAD>A Letter from Amsterdam.</HEAD>
<OPENER><SALUTE>SIR,</SALUTE></OPENER>
<P>GReat joy hath been here for the &s;afe return of the &s;ixty fail of Merchat men, which came from the parts about Rohan, and gave the Engli&s;h Fleet the &s;lip at their fir&s;t comming out. They had 10 men of War for their Convoy, the ab&s;ence of which rendred Admiral Trump &s;o much the weaker; and this is made a fault by many, that tho&s;e men of War &s;hould be di&s;mi&s;|&s;ed for a convoy, it being again&s;t Orders. Neverthele&s;&s;e the joy conceived for the return of the 60 Merchants, is &s;ome allay to that di&s;plea&s;ure. The work of building
<PB N="6" REF="4">&s;hips goes on apace, an agreement being made for 60 Fri|gots, to be ready in 4 moneths. And the Province of Hol|land hath moved the other Provinces to furni&s;h out their re&s;pective &s;hares in ready money, for the making up of that &s;um which was agreed on for the &s;etting forth the &s;hips. Holland it &s;elf hath, for this en&s;uing year, Order|ed a Levie of the Two hundreth penny toward defraying the charge of their Sea undertakings. The Ea&s;t Indie com|pany of this Town are to make ready and &s;et out for the States &s;ervice, 6 men of War well appointed.</P>
<P>Van Trump hath &s;ent a Letter to the Lords and Bur|gama&s;ters of this Town, giving them an account of the late Fight, alledging that he mi&s;&s;eth onely nine men of war, but that all their Merchant men are in &s;afety, and how that he lay betwixt Calis and Dunkirk to attend the motion of the Engli&s;h Fleet, if they came that way. It is boa&s;ted here, that they have taken from you the &s;hip cal|led the Pro&s;perous, of 50 guns; and the general cry here, is, that the Engli&s;h have had the wor&s;t; and yet &s;ome are at a &s;tand, becau&s;e they &s;ee but few Merchant-men yet ap|pearing.</P>
<P>The States had news out of Zealand, that divers Mer|chant men were come in there from Trumps fleet, which affirms that there had been a notable engagement for 2 days time. At length news was brought from Scheveling that they e&s;pied about 60 &s;ail making toward the Texel, which they &s;uppo&s;ed to be Merchant-men returned; but not one word of any &s;hip of war as yet returned; which is interpreted as an ill Omen by their Lord&s;hips, who thereupon have i&s;&s;ued out orders for the &s;ending forth with all &s;peed tho&s;e 40 &s;hips under he Wit, which were de&s;igned for an union with Trump, and the Admiralties are required immediately to put out to &s;ea all the &s;hips that are in their harbours. Which gives great cau&s;e of
<PB N="7" REF="4">&s;u&s;picion, all is not &s;o well as was given out among the people.</P>
<P>Upon the earne&s;t reque&s;t of the Merchant-&s;trangers who were intere&s;&s;ed in tho&s;e Merchantmen laden with Pitch, Tar, Hemp, <HI>&amp;c.</HI> which had been &s;eized in the Sound, and brought in hither by the men of war of this State, it hath been ordered by the States General, that tho&s;e &s;hips be relea&s;ed, upon condition, that hereafter tho&s;e &s;hips which &s;hall be laden with contreband goods, do not pre&s;ume to put to &s;ea without it be with a general convoy; by which way they will be able to &s;ee that none of them be tran&s;ported to England. The Colledges of the admiralty are charged likewi&s;e to take order that &s;earch be made in all fi&s;her boats; information being given that they &s;teal out with contreband goods, and other prohibi|ted commodities, which its &s;aid they carry over into Eng|land. Six men of War, and 2 &s;mall Frigots, are to be &s;ent to Bra&s;il, for relief of the We&s;t Indy company.</P>
<P>It hath been moved to the States by the Re&s;ident of the K. of France, that all Merchants of this State may be pro|hibited &s;trictly from &s;ending any Corn, or contreband commodities to Bourdeaux which city his ma&s;ter intends to di&s;tre&s;&s;e both by &s;ea and land, wherein it is conceived they will gratifie the French K. having endeavoured &s;o far already to oblige him, that order is given to Lieut. Admiral Trump, to u&s;e his utmo&s;t endeavour to &s;eiz the &s;hips of war belonging to the Pr. of Conde and his adhe|rents; and to deliver up the &s;ame to the D. of Vendo&s;m Admiral of France.</P>

<PB N="8" REF="5">
<P>The news from our &s;hips at Legorn and Portolongone, is, That there lately came into the Road one that brought word, that our Frigots have been in fight with &s;ix Fle|mi&s;h &s;hips, who had a hot andd &s;harp di&s;pute, which con|tinued a good &s;pace; but in fine, our Frigots together with the Harry Bonaventure, took one of their Merchant &s;hips, and carried her into Me&s;&s;ina; &s;he is a &s;hip of about 400 tuns, and 26 or 28 Guns, but we know not yet what <GAP DESC="illegible" EXTENT="1 letter">er lading was. The 30 of Jan. the Admiral of the Hol|landers and one man of war more (there being then but 7 in the Road) &s;et &s;ail thence, and &s;tood towards the South|ward, and in the night the &s;aid &s;hips ran a&s;hore a ledge of rocks, lying 6 leagues to Southward of the road, &s;o that the Admiral is ca&s;taway, but the other is got off again. Febr. 1. our men made ha&s;t to get Balla&s;t aboard, think|to have gone out the &s;econd, and to have fought the Hol|landers, but that night there came 5 men of war more, &s;o that then there were eleven men of war in the Road. The next day Admiral Badiley came from Longone to Le|gorn, in hope to have gained an opportunity, but too late. The Thomas Bonaventure, Mary-ro&s;e, William, and Tho|mas are at Port Ferray to get out their goods, and to make ready again, but the Paragon, Capt. Badileys &s;hip, is at Longone again, the Deputy-pur&s;er whereof, and the Chyrurgian of the Bonaventure are dead.</P>
