Extract of a letter from Mr Thomas RASTALL, dated on board the Polyphemus, at Spithead, Sept. 9, to his father, in the Lamb-yard, Haymarket.
"We sailed on a cruize [sic] to the North Seas, on Sunday the 1st inst. in search of the Dutch Fleet, and arrived off the Texel on the 4th; a reconnoitring frigate brought us word, that their force consisted of 16 sail of the line, and seven frigates, which, though superior to us in number, dare not face us. Having lain to for three hours, and seeing no inclination in them to engage, we set sail, and arrived safe at our moorings on Saturday last. Our force consisted of 15 sail of the line, two frigates, two cutters, and a sloop. We are now taking in flour, cheese, butter, etc. for Gibraltar, for which place I expect we shall sail on Wednesday next, and from thence to the West Indies."
