ft is a remarkable circumstance, that Sir Roger

that the Dutch obtained that trophy in the Doom.
in one of the battles between Blake and Van
Tromp. To correct such mistaken and vulgar
notions., our leaders will understand, that the red
flag has never been taken, or surrendered to the
enemy. The last officer that wore such Rag was
