It is said that the States General having received information, that the English have again taken a Dutch vessel from St. Eustatia, under pretence of her being laden with ammunition, &c. for America; they immediately sent orders to the Charge d'Affaires from [sic at] the Court of London, to make the necessary complaints to the British government on that subject, that the above-mentioned prize be given up; and it is reported that their High Mightinesses have requested Sir Joseph Yorke to use his endeavours, that the said vessel be returned, and the owners indemnified for the loss they have sustained by its detention.
