I Had just now the good Fortune of meeting this oppor­tunity to pay my Respects by this hasty Manuscript, and to give you this following Relation of our Fleet, and Homeward-bound Turkey Ships.

When our Fleet hover'd some small time off the Island of Ʋshant (as before from Torbay) I wrote you what flender account then offer'd.

We made little stay on the Coast, but stood as directly for Cape Clear as these lasting Westwardly Winds would permit, it lying about 15 Leagues to the Westward of Kingsaile, the which we made Yesterday, and are just now fair by it, with 86 Bat­telling Ships of War, &c. (God be praised) in good order and health.

Just now to our very great satisfactions, we have a certain Account that 15 Sail of Men of War, two Fireships, and about 80 Merchant Ships arrived on the second Current at Kingsaile, from Turkey, and other parts of the Mediterranian, and that they had been the Friday before in sight of the French Fleet (who sought them) and most fortunately took their Scout, escaping the dan­ger (almost by a Miracle) in a thick Fog, to the Port above­said.

Turveale being cross'd in his expectation, through the loss of this Booty, we conclude is gone towards their own Coast, and will not dare to see us this Summer, if he can avoid it, for such a Fleet was never seen as we are like to come home with, I hope, to the great content of all the Nation. I am,
