Saturday, 3 March. [...] Last night came in 3 Dutch mails, which advise, from Leghorn of the 16th ult., that admiral Norris had met with a violent storm, and lost near the coast of Barcelona a ship of 72 guns; after which sail’d for Roses to form a design against that place. That count Staremberg with his army, being 10,000 men, came to Barcelona the 8th of January. Some French letters say, that we lost in that storm a man of war of 70 guns, 2 of 60, and 16 shallops, with men on board.
