THE King of France's Letter TO THE Earl of Tyrconnel , Found in a Ship Laden with Arms for Ireland . MY LORD ,

AS we are fully Inform'd of the deplorable Misfortunes of our Royal Brother , ( His Majesty of Great Britain ) and of His Intentions to Honor Our Court with His Presence , till we can Accommodate His Return to His Ungrateful Country and Kingdom , suitable to His Grandeur and Merit ; so we thought it convenient to send You the most proper Instructions We , and Our Council , could Suggest , whereby we might render your endeavours as Serviceable and Material as may be for your Royal Master's Interest . The Kingdom of Ireland seems , at present , to be your Master's last Stake , and therefore must be managed wisely ; Nor shall you want Opportunity of making the most of your Game , since we are stedfastly resolv'd to give the Army in England such powerful Diversion , that we doubt not to render them wholly incapable of turning their Arms towards You : In the mean time , we advise you to make all the Levies you can ; and by no means admit any Heretical Villains into the least Command , Civil or Military : We have sent you Arms for Thirty Thousand ; which , with what your self can supply , will Accouter a Formidable Body of Men , and fully sufficient for the entire Reduction of that Kingdom . We shall also take care to furnish you with Money ; and , in the mean time , we advise you to seize , without distinction , all the Hereticks Goods and Estates , which will serve for a present Advance : We will also supply you with some Expert Commanders , and all necessary Engines of War ; and for the supply of Ammunition , we are Inform'd of your care , in your speedy setting up Mills for the making of Powder , &c. We likewise advise you to keep strong and diligent Guards in all your Sea-Ports and Coasts ; to set up Beacons in convenient places throughout the Kingdom , whereby the Country may be ready at the least Alarm : And as we doubt not of the Assistance of God in so Just a Cause , so we may , with all human probability , conclude of the speedy Re-establishment of Our Royal Brother in his Throne & Kingdom .
