AN ACCOUNT Of the MOUEMENTS of Their Majesties Royal Fleet, VVith other Occurrences.
ON Saturday last, about Six in the Evening, there came into Our Port, Their Majesties Ship the Grey-boned, from the Royal Fleet; whom she left the Day before, about Four in the Afternoon, between Scilly and Ʋshant: They give an Account, That the Admiral, with the English and Dutch Fleet, just as they came away, was resolv'd immediately to stand over for the Coast of Ireland, in search after the French Fleet; whom they had an Account, was Sailed toward the Irish Coast. The Captain of the Greyhound, has sent his Long-Boat on Shoar, to take in Letters here for the Admiral and Fleet.
This Morning came into this Harbour, one of our Tin Vessels from Spitt-head; the Master thereof gives an Account, That he came out from Spitt-head, in Company of Two Dutch-Men of War, each carrying Seventy Guns, very stout Ships, and excellently well Mann'd: These two Ships they parted Company with, just off of our Coast; they pursuing their Voyage, in order to joyn the Royal Fleet.
The Convoy, with the Barbadoes-Fleet, mentioned in my last, continue still Here.
Our Seamen on Board, (as the Grey-hound Men gives us an Account of) being all very well, and in excellent Heart, desire nothing more, than to meet the French.
Yesterday the Wind was at North-West, and this day it's at South-West, an indifferent good Gale, and Fair Weather. This is what offers at present from.
