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 Majeste 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."]

[Footnote 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.]

Clarencieux King at Arms, 1750. Of this book only fifty copies were
printed.]

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.]

a Treasury Letterbook, June 12, 1689.]

[Footnote 215: "Sarsfield," Avaux wrote to Louvois, Oct. 11/21. 1689,
"n'est pas un homme de la naissance de mylord Galloway" (Galmoy, I
suppose) "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.]
