The Princefs Goverpants, in order to engage the Englifh to difcontinue taking onr Merchant Ships, has propofed to the States of Holland to ftop for a ‘T'ime the Trade between this Country and France, it being better that Part of the State thould fuffer than the Whole : But this Propoficion has been re- je€ted, efpecially by the City of Amfterdam, where she Propofitions are fo enlarged, that itis with Dif- ficulty that they are kept from plundering the Houfes of the Englith who are fettled there. In Zealand it is the fame ; and the States of that Province have ordered the Captains of the Men of War that can- voy their Merchantmen, to refit Force by Force, if any Attempt is made to vifit them.

The three batteries of cannon which they have opened are oo far from the place to make any breach ; and the cannon of the befieged, carrying much farther than thofe of the enemies, have alrcady twice difmounted them: One of the enemies pasties advanced to Scwheldt, but findiag that town well provided,retired without attempting any thing.
