A true Copie of a Letter of speciall consequence from Rotetrdam in Holland , subscribed by severall credible hands ; and sent to a Citizen of good note in London : being very considerable to be taken notice of by all the well-affected throughout the whole Kingdome ; but especially by the Citie of London . SIR

THe Ships we advised you of in our former Letter lie ready with Ammunition for the Queene , and 't is not yet certainly knowne whither they are bound ; wee feare the report of the good successe of the Parliaments Forces in the North , may make them goe for the West : and so it is here supposed there is great need of Ships to be ranging about the Seas to attend this bloody Fleet . There is one Peacock that hath in him 1200. Barrels of powder , 4000. Pikes , 1400. Granadoes and much chaine-shot , 3600 Muskets , besides store of Carbines and 4000. pistols ; two other Ships are hired of about two hundred Tun apeece to carry Ammunition , Waggons , Morters , Soldiers , and some thousands of Saddles , all which we desire you to advise the Parliament of ; also many Horses are provided : the Prince gave the Queene since her returne from Sea by the storme twenty foure faire Horses , and supplies her to his utmost : also sixteene Ships we heare with eight thousand Soldiers are ready to saile from Denmarke , from whence most of the Moneys for these goods is made over to Mr. Webster of Amsterdam . The Queene hath provided Ammunition for sixteene thousand Men : she hath procured an Act from the States , that all her Baggage and Ammunition should be shipt without visiting by any Searcher ; yea , that none should come aboord to examine after the goods , of what nature and quality soever they are , all which are past by the States Act , without one penny of Custome : a Copie of which Act we have procured under a publious Notaries hand . Wee heare also there are sixteene thousand Muskets , with thousands of pistolls come to Dunkerk out of Lukeland for the Queene : but our hope is that God ( who hath so mightily appeared in blasting this Designe by water , raising his stormes to the confusion of many of them ) will still goe on to perfect his Worke : which is the hearty desire of your friends to serve you .

LONDON , Imprinted for Henry Overton , and are to be sold at his Shoppe in Popes-head Alley , MDCXLII . the 20. day of the second Moneth .
