A farther Account of the Victory Obtained by the English and Dutch Fleet over the French ; Received by Express this Morning from Admiral Russell .

Published by Authority .

Whitehall , May 26. 1692.

BY a Letter from Admiral Russell , dated the 24th Instant , when he was at an Anchor before la Hogue , we have this Account , That the Admiral , having the day before sent Vice-Admiral Rooke , with a Squadron of Ships and Fire-Ships , and all the Boats in the Fleet , to burn the Ships that were there penned up ; it succeeded so well , that six were burnt that Night , and six more the next Morning . Of these , six were Three-Deck-Ships , and the other six from Sixty to Seventy Guns , and one Ship of Fifty six Guns was overset , and utterly lost ; so that the whole number in that Bay was destroy'd . The Men in the Boats behaved themselves so bravely , that they took possession of several of the Enemies Ships , and beat the French with their own Guns from their Platforms .

The Fleet is now so disposed upon the Coast of France , that if there be any more French Ships thereabouts , we may hope to have a good Account of them .
