the French but England is so exceedingly slow that it is believed they will lose the hearts of all and even such as wish it well will not think it safe to depend on it 'T is observed that putting French Officers in the place of the Irish who rais'd the Men causes great discontents many of the common Souldiers run away from their Colours upon it Several Protestant Gentlemen in the North had Commissions from the P. and have fairly run away with them into England or come to Dublin upon Protection or pardon but the Country People have chosen Commanders for themselves into Trorps and Companies of this sort are generally those in Derry and Enniskilling they all exspect to be continued in the Commissions they have given themselves when any Army comes out of England and the hope of this 't is believed makes them obstinate to all offers from the King They say the Gentlemen that left them deserve no countenance at all but rather that some part of their Estates that went away should be given as a Reward to such as staid and defended them June the 13th to day the House of Commons agreed to the Amendments made by the House of Iords to the Bill of Repeal so that affair is over and wants only the Royal Assent An Express came in from Cavan which gives us this account That General Rosen had order'd the Sherriff of that County to make a kind of a Magazine of Corn and other Provisions in the Town of Cavan to supply the King's Army in their March to Enniskilling and had appointed two Companies to guard it and that a Party from Enniskilling had surpriz'd the Guards and taken it Enniskilling People are certainly there but whether they took the Men is a doubt but the Provision is certainly taken It is said there is now in Dublin nine Regiments of Foot and eight more are expected many of them are raw and never handled Arms there are about two Troops of Horse I can't learn whose Regiments they are You may wonder I can't give an exact account of what men are in Dublin but the reason is their frequent removals sometimes in one day three Regiments will come to Town and two go out sometimes those that are expected in Town will be countermanded within six or seven Miles they often come in and go out by night and every thing is so chang'd and hudled that it is impossible to give any good account We do not confide much in these men tho' the whole seventeen Regiments expected were with us because they are very raw and undisciplin'd There is a general Press for all Horses without exception of Papists who had favour before but there must be no distinction the occasion being very urgent for the King is said not to have above a 1000 good Horse in all the Army most of which are in the North.

Governour Boysloe The Bill for Liberty of Conscience is come to the House of Lords it repeals every Statute made in favour of the Protestant religion and if Lawyers may be believed it settles Popery as legally as it was in H. 7th's time You may guess from the inclosed Brief what Authority Roman Catholic Bishops will claim over Protestants The Commissioners have seized all Goods of Absenters and are actually disposing of them It is reported that they are about procuring an Act of Parliament to put Penalties and Oaths upon the Concealers of any of them and to Indemnifie themselves for their Proceeding hitherto which the Protestants reckon Plundering and say is against all Law The same Commissioners set Leases of all Absenters Estates tho' no legal Inquisition is yet past on them some say that they set even Estates of such as are in the Kingdom upon presumption that they will find some way or other to intitle the King to them one way is to get two or three named Commissioners who slip into some blind Ale-house and privately find a Title for the King by returning that the Possessors are absent or Rebels tho' they live then upon the Lands or are in the Courts of Dublin and all this without any Summons to the Parties concerned or Possessors or Oaths of Jurors all this is said and further that several of those have come to inform the Commissioners how they have been abused but can't yet get admittance the Commissioners are so busie setting Leases The Bishop of Corke's Case which you will find in the Votes and wherein the Parliament refused him Redress was this Several of his Tenants owed him arrears of Rent the King seiz'd upon their Goods because they were absent he desires to be paid his Arrears out of the Goods found on the Lands which he desired leave to Distrain on but he was told he must Sue the Tenants on the Covenants of their Ledsés and recover his Rent as he could This is like to be a President and no Creditor Landlord or Mortgagee whose Tenant is absent is like to get any thing because the King has seiz'd the Goods and Lands which were his Security I hear likewise where the Landlords are absent Lessees are disturb'd and left to seek Redress from their absent Landlords The Commons Quarrel to Judge Dally for which they impeached him was upon some private Discourse he had with Sir Alick Bourk and some other Gentlemen in which he disapprov'd of the Commons Proceedings and said they were a kind of Massanello's Assembly and that it could not be expected that men from whom the King took Estates would fight for him or to this effect FINIS
