第788章 CHAPTER XVI(48)

FN 206 Walker; Mackenzie; Avaux, April 26/May 6 1689. There is a tradition among the Protestants of Ulster that Maumont fell by the sword of Murray: but on this point the report made by the French ambassador to his master is decisive. The truth is that there are almost as many mythical stories about the siege of Londonderry as about the siege of Troy. The legend about Murray and Maumont dates from 1689.

In the Royal Voyage which was acted in that year, the combat between the heroes is described in these sonorous lines "They met; and Monsieur at the first encounter Fell dead, blaspheming, on the dusty plain, And dying, bit the ground."FN 207 "Si c'est celuy qui est sorti de France le dernier, qui s'appelloit Richard, il n'a jamais veu de siege, ayant toujours servi en Rousillon."--Louvois to Avaux, June 8/18. 1689.

FN 208 Walker; Mackenzie; Avaux to Louvois, May 2/12. 4/14 1689;James to Hamilton, May 28/June 8 in the library of the Royal Irish Academy.

Louvois wrote to Avaux in great indignation. "La mauvaise conduite que l'on a tenue devant Londondery a couste la vie a M. de Maumont et a M. de Pusignan. Il ne faut pas que sa Majesté Britannique croye qu'en faisant tuer des officiers generaux comme des soldats, on puisse ne l'en point laisser manquer. Ces sortes de gens sont rates en tout pays, et doivent estre menagez."FN 209 Walker; Mackenzie; Avaux, June 16/26 1689.

FN 210 As to the discipline of Galmoy's Horse, see the letter of Avaux to Louvois, dated Sept. 10/30. Horrible stories of the cruelty, both of the colonel and of his men, are told in the Short View, by a Clergyman, printed in 1689, and in several other pamphlets of that year. For the distribution of the Irish forces, see the contemporary maps of the siege. A catalogue of the regiments, meant, I suppose to rival the catalogue in the Second Book of the Iliad, will be found in the Londeriad.

FN 211 Life of Admiral Sir John Leake, by Stephen M. Leake, Clarencieux King at Arms, 1750. Of this book only fifty copies were printed.

FN 212 Avaux, May 8/18 May 26/June 5 1689; London Gazette, May 9.; Life of James, ii. 370.; Burchett's Naval Transactions; Commons' Journals, May 18, 21. From the Memoirs of Madame de la Fayette it appears that this paltry affair was correctly appreciated at Versailles.

FN 213 King, iii. 12; Memoirs of Ireland from the Restoration, 1716.

Lists of both Houses will be found in King's Appendix.

FN 214 I found proof of Plowden's connection with the Jesuits in a Treasury Letterbook, June 12, 1689.

FN 215 "Sarsfield," Avaux wrote to Louvois, Oct. 11/21. 1689, "n'est pas un homme de la naissance de mylord Galloway" (Galmoy, Isuppose)

"ny de Makarty: mais c'est un gentilhomme distingue par son merite, qui a plus de credit dans ce royaume qu'aucun homme que je connoisse.

Il a de la valeur, mais surtout de l'honneur et de la probite a toute epreuve . . . homme qui sera toujours a la tete de ses troupes, et qui en aura grand soin." Leslie, in his Answer to King, says that the Irish Protestants did justice to Sarsfield's integrity and honour.

Indeed justice is done to Sarsfield even in such scurrilous pieces as the Royal Flight.

FN 216 Journal of the Parliament in Ireland, 1689. The reader must not imagine that this journal has an official character. It is merely a compilation made by a Protestant pamphleteer and printed in London.

FN 217 Life of James, ii. 355.

FN 218 Journal of the Parliament in Ireland.

FN 219 Avaux May 26/June 5 1689.

FN 220 A True Account of the Present State of Ireland, by a Person that with Great Difficulty left Dublin, 1689; Letter from Dublin, dated June 12. 1689; Journal of the Parliament in Ireland.

FN 221 Life of James, ii. 361, 362, 363. In the Life it is said that the proclamation was put forth without the privity of James, but that he subsequently approved of it. See Welwood's Answer to the Declaration, 1689.

FN 222 Light to the Blind; An Act declaring that the Parliament of England cannot bind Ireland against Writs of Error and Appeals, printed in London, 1690.

FN 223 An Act concerning Appropriate Tythes and other Duties payable to Ecclesiastical Dignitaries. London 1690.

FN 224 An Act for repealing the Acts of Settlement and Explanation and all Grants, Patents, and Certificates pursuant to them or any of them.

London, 1690.

FN 225 See the paper delivered to James by Chief Justice Keating, and the speech of the Bishop of Meath. Both are in King's Appendix.

Life of James, ii. 357-361.

FN 226 Leslie's Answer to King; Avaux, May 26/June 5 1689; Life of James, ii. 358.

FN 227 Avaux May 28/June 7 1689, and June 20/July 1. The author of Light to the Blind strongly condemns the indulgence shown to the Protestant Bishops who adhered to James.

FN 228 King, iii. 11.; Brief Memoirs by Haynes, Assay Master of the Mint, among the Lansdowne MSS. at the British Museum, No. 801. Ihave seen several specimens of this coin. The execution is surprisingly good, all circumstances considered.

FN 229 King, iii. 12.

FN 230 An Act for the Attainder of divers Rebels and for preserving the Interest of loyal Subjects, London, 1690.

FN 231 King, iii. 13.

FN 232 His name is in the first column of page 30. in that edition of the List which was licensed March 26, 1690. I should have thought that the proscribed person must have been some other Henry Dodwell.

But Bishop Kennet's second letter to the Bishop of Carlisle, 1716, leaves no doubt about the matter.

FN 233 A list of most of the Names of the Nobility, Gentry, and Commonalty of England and Ireland (amongst whom are several Women and Children) who are all, by an Act of a Pretended parliament assembled in Dublin, attainted of High Treason, 1690; An Account of the Transactions of the late King James in Ireland, 1690; King, iii. 13.; Memoirs of Ireland, 1716.

FN 234 Avaux July 27/Aug 6. 1689.

FN 235 King's State of the Protestants in Ireland, iii. 19.

FN 236 Ibid. iii. 15.

FN 237 Leslie's Answer to King.
