From old Print. Irish Protestants. With great difficulty, an order was wrung from the king for the disbanding of this fi)rce; but, in remitting the order to Ireland, Charles sent with it a secret message to Ormond and Antrim, to keep as many of the men together as they possibly could, using their ingenuity to devise pretexts for so doing, and to lull asleep the suspicions of the Protestant Irish. Pre- viously to his departure from Scotland, Charles had signed two bills, one confirming the title...s to lands after a sixty years' uninterrupted possession ; the other, renoimcing all claims on the part of the crown founded on the tyrannical inquisition held in 1638 by Strafford: but the Irish parliament was prorogued a few days before the arrival of these bills, which therefore were not passed into laws. Ab the two bills would have gone far to attach the native Irish to the king, it has been supposed, if not proved, that the Irish ministers, — the friends of the English parliament, rather than of Charles, — ^purposely hastened the prorogation.
