<HEAD>A true RELATION OF A Famous Sea-fight, performed by <HI>Van Trump</HI> the Dutch Admirall, with eight &s;ayl of &s;hips, again&s;t &s;eventeen Spani&s;h &s;hips that were going to aid the Rebels in Ireland.</HEAD>
<P>_ON the 20 day of this month Letters came to the Ho|nourable Hou&s;e of Com|mons, &s;ignifying, that the Hollander hath obtai|ned a great Victory over the Spani&s;h fleet that were going to aid and a&s;&s;i&s;t the Re|bels
<PB REF="3">in <HI>Ireland,</HI> being in number 17. lu&s;ty &s;hips, as is manife&s;tly declared in the&s;e in|&s;uing particulars,</P>
<P>The States of Holland having received information, that a great Navie of Spani&s;h &s;hips lay at <HI>Dunkirke</HI> ready to lance forth, which was &s;uppo&s;ed, either for &s;ome De|&s;ign again&s;t <HI>England,</HI> or el&s;e for the reliefe of the Rebels in <HI>Ireland,</HI> and after &s;ome con&s;ultation therupon, they fort with di&s;|patched a Me&s;&s;enger to <HI>Van Trump</HI> Admi|rall of their Navie, de&s;iring his care and vigilancie therein.</P>
<P>The &s;aid <HI>Van-Trump</HI> had no &s;ooner re|ceived this Newes from his Ma&s;ters the States of <HI>Holland,</HI> but with all expedition, he &s;ent 10 lu&s;ty &s;hips, him&s;elf going in per&s;on al&s;o, and having &s;ayled for the &s;pace of 7 hours, he e&s;pyed the Spani&s;h fleet, who making after them with full &s;peed, and be|ing within half a league of them, the <HI>Spa|niard</HI> though it a great di&s;paragement to flye, by rea&s;on they did exceed them in number. Wherupon the Spanyards prepa|red them&s;elves, and made them ready for
<PB REF="3">Battle, and as &s;oon as <HI>Van-trump</HI> came with|in Canon-&s;hot, the Spanyards let fly many pieces of Ordnance to welcome him, thin|king the day their own.</P>
<P>But the Hollanders took the &s;ame Re|&s;olution, as they have formerly done in the We&s;t-Indies, and divers other places at Sea, re&s;olving to fight it out to the la&s;t man, which indeed are brave te&s;timonies for all other Marriners.</P>
<P><HI>Van-Trump</HI> &s;eeing the Spanyards begin &s;o furiou&s;ly, cau&s;ed his Vice-Admirall and two more to play again&s;t them with their Broad-&s;ide, which made the Spani&s;h Ad|mirall, and &s;ome others, glad to fall backe, and for 8. or 9. hours the fight continued very hot, much blood being &s;hen on both &s;ides, till <HI>Van Trump</HI> with the Admirall came up, playing with his great Ordnance again&s;t them, in&s;omuch that he boorded the Spani&s;h Admirall twice, and at la&s;t took 11 of their &s;hips, together with great &s;tore of men and ammunition, and put the other 6. to flight.</P>
