Ireland. Dublin, July 10. Extract of a letter from Armagh,
dated July 6. I suppose you have several accounts in Dublin
concerning the disturbances we have in the north, on account
of the heavy assesses laid on last [ ] There are great
numbers risen on this occasion, in different parts of the
country . . . they filled at least two [ ] of the road,
and were formed into companies with each a standard, or
colours, displayed; on which, he says, he counted thirty,
with drums, horns, fiddles and bagpipes. They have erected
several gallows . . . call themselves Hearts of Oak.
