A LETTER Sent from a Merchant IN DUBLIN IN IRELAND TO HIS FRIEND IN London , Declaring the Alteration of Affaires there , in summoning a Convention of Estates to sit at DVBLIN , &c. SIR ,

I Have received yours , with a Letter of the Lord General Monks enclosed , which was welcome News here , we having so unanimously declared against the Rump , for a Free and Full Parliament , or the Secluded Members to be admitted , we had little reason to expect that the Army of Ireland would have complyed with us : The General of the Rump's Forces , together with many other Colonels , and Officers , with two hundred Foot , being dissatisfied with the Resolves of this place , betook themselves to the Castle the 15th . of this moneth about five of the Clock at night ; But within one hour after , the Citizens besieged them , and blocked up all the Gates . The 17th . the besieged sent a Letter to the Major , who returned so resolute an Answer thereunto , that upon the 18th . the Souldiers delivered up their Officers , and the Castle ; which otherwise , had that day been stormed , the Wall in order thereunto being undermined .

This happy Success hath produced a cheerfull Resolution in all other Cities and Towns in this Kingdom , to live and die with us , in that we have declared for . And upon Munday next a Convention of the Estates is to sit here : And a Proclamation is in the Press to banish all Anapabtists , Quakers , and Sectaries out of this Kingdome . Which we hope will much conduce to our Security and Quiet .

February , 22. 1659. Your Friend and Servant , T. J.

LONDON , Printed for Thomas Pool , 1659.
