THE DISCOVERY Of a Plot by some of the Anti-Covenanters in Scotland, and sent to M. Pym in a Letter, Octob. 14 1641.  
SIR, things were lately in a very hopeful way of Accommodation. But on Monday night last, there fell out a great interruption, for upon information given to marquis Hamilton, the Earl of Argile, and the Earl of Lanericke, that there was a design to seize upon their persons that night, they removed presently from their Lodgings, and stayed in the City all night, and the next morning, the Relation being made to the Parliament, there was present order given for the shutting of the Ports, and setting of the Guards of the town, which continue so still, and the same day, the marquess Hamilton, the Earl of Argile, and the Earl of Lanericke, departed hence to a house of the Marquesses, about 12-miles of, where they continue still.  
The Depositions of one captain Stewards and the lieutenant colonel Hurry, and Hume were read upon Tuseday in full Parliament; The King being present, and upon the reading whereof, the Parliament thought fit to restrain the Earl of Craford, Col Stewart; and Col. Cockron, who are not yet examined, Before this Conspiracy fell out we had the Treaty delivered unto us, under the great seal of Scotland, and that which remained of our business, being to get the two Regiments disbanded, and their works slighted, to perfect an account between the King and some Inhabitants of Newcastle and the Scots, about some arms which was taken away in their late troubles, and the assisting of some English in their Demands, of the reparations (of losses, which they sustained by the Scottish army) were put into such a way, as we expected to have seen them all at an Issue presently. But this plot hath put not only ours, but all other businesses to a stand, and may be an occasion of many and great troubles in this kingdom, if Almighty God in his mercy do not prevent it, which being an accident of such great moment (as well to prevent as far as in us lies) the many inconveniences that may arise by false reports, as also in discharge of the trust reposed in us, we thought fit to send you timely advertisement of it, and we shall give you a more full account, when by examination it shall be further discovered.  
Edinburgh Castle, Octob. 14. 1641. Sir, we are your friends and servants,
