Great News from Dublin,  
●iving a True Account of the Seizing of a Ship coming from IRELAND, with Fifty Commissions from the late King James, to several Gentlemen in Lancashire, in order (as supposed) to a Rebellion in ENGLAND. Together, with the Relation of the Papists Seizing the Protestants Estates in Ireland, and imprisoning the Vice-Provost of the College of Dublin, and other Worthy Divines, on pretence of a PLOT, etc.  
With Allowance.  
Chester the 12 th' of June, 1689. SIR,  
ON the Eleventh of this Instant, Arrived here a Vessel, with some Fugitive Protestants Abode, which give an Account, that the pretended Parliament of Dublin, after the general Concurrence of both Houses, for rescinding and abolishing the late Act of Settlement, proceeded to pass a Bill for the Forfeiture of all Estates of Protestants absent; which, with all Severity, even ●●e Soldiers and Rabble-Papists put in Execution: That upon the Report of Supplies ●eing Landed at London-Derry, they immediately Issued out an Order for securing all Protestants of any Note; and particularly, they have clapped up the Reverend Doctor Action, Vice●rovost of the College, and Doctor King the Minister of St. Warbourgh's Parish, and seve●l others, upon a Blind pretence, that they were Plotting against the Government, (as ●●ey style it) though all that could be said for harmless and Innocent Persons, was urged 〈◊〉 their behalf to the late King; but such is the Insolence and Jealousy of the French Minister, and his Party, That it is now thought no longer in his Power to deny or mainpin any thing against them. Yesterday came in a Vessel from Dublin to this Port, in com●●ny of another small Vessel, and King William's Officers of his Customs going on Board her, remembered the Master had about five Weeks before stole out of the Harbour, without ●●king her Entry at the Customhouse, and the Master besides being suspected for an ill Man they gave notice to the Mayor, and other the King's Officers, who immediately Re●●●t and Seize on the King's Vessels; and, after strict Search, find packed up Fifty Commis●●●●, directed to several persons in Lancashire; which Commissions were forthwith sent to 〈◊〉 Majesty, and 'tis hoped, will give an ample Discovery of all or most of the disaffected ●●●sons in that County: Colonel Kirk, with the Ships and Soldiers under his Command, ●●●●'d from the Isle of Man the fifth Instant, the Wind at East Southeast, a pretty strong ●●le, so that we doubt not, by this time, of his safe Arrival: From Dublin we hear, that the ●●●…ist Army is extremely discouraged with the vigorous Resistance of the Protestants in London-Derry, that they begin to look nearer into Matters, and do already shake their ●●ads, and wish they could handsomely unravel their past Actions. Doctor Walker, and lieutenant Baker, do labour indefatigably for the support of the Town, which stands ●●●m yet, and in good condition; though by continual Watchings, and hard Service, they ●o hourly wish and Sigh for their long expected Succours. The Lord Tyrconnel continues ●et indisposed with the Black Jaundice, which had like to have proved dangerous to him; ●e seems to be sensibly afflicted for the loss of his reputed Son the Lord Galmoy, (who was ●ill'd before London-Derry in the last great Sally) and is not well satisfied with the French ●anagement of Affairs: Many of the Irish Army desert daily, and take the Bogs for ●●eir Refuge, being either terrified with the haughty Insolence of their French Comman●rs, or tired with the continual drudgery of Marching, Counter-Marching, and other ●…teigues of Martial Exercise and Dangers: We have it confirmed, that great Numbers of Boats and other small Vessels, designed (as is thought) for Transportation of Sol●●ers from any part of the North of Ireland to Scotland, have been seized and burnt by ●he Ships from Scotland. The Protestants of Dublin begin now to be very apprehensive 〈◊〉 their Safety, especially since the Confinement of those Clergy men and Encroachments 〈◊〉 the College: The late King hath put a stop to all Passes; and such is the strictness and severity of the Searchers, that we are likely to have little or no Intelligence from Dublin. This is all that occurs at present  
From your Humble Servant, J. M.
