A LETTER FROM The Navy of the proceedings of the Parliaments ships, under the Lord ADMIRALL, Against the Revolted SHIPS with Prince CHARLES.

Right Honourable,

THe Lord Admiral sent out Orders for those Ships at Portsmouth, to hasten out to meet his Lordship in the Downes, and then put forth with those in the Channell with his Lord­ship: [Page 2]6 men of War, and 3 additionall Ships, came out from Portsmouth, his Lordship hath 12, that is 21. and (I beleeve they will be compleated 30. when all are joyned. I have sent you (here inclosed) Prince Charles his Summons to the Lord Admirall, and his Lordships gallant Answer. Our ships faced the Prince sailing up within one League of them, but then there rize such a storme, that the Revolted ships sailed Northward. But whether they will advance back a­gain, or not, I know not; So soon as those from Portsmouth are joyned, his Lordship will cleare the Seas for free Trading, so, as either to engage them, or force them away.

Dated at the Nasse, 1 September, 1648.
