Saturday last arrived here Capt. Stewart in 7 Weeks from Bristol, and informs that just before he came away he saw an Account, published in the St. James's Evening Post, advising, that the Lords of Appeal had given a final Answer to the two Deputies from the States of Holland, in regard to the Dutch Ships detained in English Ports; and that they had returned to Holland with said Answer: which was to the following Import, that they must first prove their Property, before their Vessels could be restored; and that if their Sending a Convoy with their Merchantmen was only to protect them from being insulted by English Privateers they would send a sufficient Number of English Men of War to convoy and protect them from any insults they might receive. Various are the conjectures as to the Consequence of this Answer; but most are of opinion that it will occasion a Rupture between England and Holland.
