A LETTER From IRELAND to an Honourable Citizen of LONDON : Communicated to the Lord Mayor . SIR ,

YOurs I have received , and find that the condition of Affaires in England is still dubious , and no judgement to be made whether party shall Govern and prevail , we are here it seems in no such perplexities being not obliged by Estates unduly purchased to continue their distractions any longer , which you may see in the ensuing relation .

On Tuesday being the 13. of this instant , about four of the clock in the evening , here was a very sad uproar , and the Citizens very much afrighted with the comming into the City of several Troops of Horse with some companies of Foot ; the Horse men being ready drawn , both sword and pistol , All crying out for a Free Parliament , and a Settlement of the old Protestant Religion , according unto the Laws and Establishment of several Parliaments ; the Foot likewise with lighted Matches , all things being in a readiness ; the Design was so laid by those men that were the principal heads , as to this enterprize ; Namely , Sir Theophilus Jones , Col. Werden , Col. Bridges , Lieut. Col. Warren , Major Warren , with divers other inferiour Officers ; that when they had notice from the Castle by firing three Guns , that then they should secure the Commissioners , who sat in councel at the custom House , that being a certain token that the castle was then their own ; capt. Joeir , capt. Bond , with their companies , entred the castle by a soft knocking at the Gates , one of their men the Sentinel opening the dore , they presently thrust in , very suddenly surprised all within it , and turned capt. Laurences company out , so that now they have the castle in possession : the names of those that are seised on and made their prisoners , are col . John Jones and Miles Corbit , Esq Sir Matthew Tomlinson , col . Richard Laurence Lieut. col . Hen. Johns , Mr. Standish , Treasurer , and Capt. Tombs the Store-keeper of the Castle ; there came into the Castle five hundred Barrels of Gunpowder but on Monday : the officers and souldiers in this City are unanimously consenting to what hath been done ; and by the symptomes of joy are shewn in all parts of this City the citizens seem to be very well pleased , for there was Bon-fires in all the streets , Bells ringing ; and I verily believe there never was so sudden a surprizall since the creation : and in all this action there hath not been one man kill'd nor wounded , nor no injury proffered to any man . We expect much an account from London of the state of affairs there ; and we hope we have taken the readiest way towards a settlement , having no other intention then to be instrumentall to forward that long desired peace , which the Lord of his mercy grant us , and prosper all the actions and councels conducing thereunto . No more at present from

Your humble servant W. P.
