ary.] [Footnote 665: Memoirs of Saint Simon.] [Footnote 666: London Gazette, June 26. 1690; Baden to Van Citters, June 24/July 4.] [Footnote 667: Mary to William, June 26. 1690; Clarendon's Diary of the same date; Narcissus Luttrell's. Diary.] [Footnote 668: Mary to William, June 28. and July 2. 1690.] [Footnote 669: Report of the Commissioners of the Admiralty to the Queen, dated Sheerness, July 18. 1690; Evidence of Captains Cornwall, Jones, Martin and Hubbard, and of Vice Admiral Delaval; Burnet, ii. 52., and Speaker Onslow's Note; Memoires du Marechal de Tourville; Memoirs of Transactions at Sea by Josiah Burchett, Esq., Secretary to the Admiralty, 1703; London Gazette, July 3.; Historical and Political Mercury for July 1690; Mary to William, July 2.; Torrington to Caermarthen, July I. The account of the battle in the Paris Gazette of July 15. 1690 is not to be read without shame: "On a sceu que les Hollandois s'estoient tres bien battus, et qu'ils s'estoient comportez en cette occasion en braves gens, mais que les Anglois n'en avoient pas agi de meme." In the French official relation of le battle off Cape Bevezier,--an odd corruption of Pevensey,--are some passages to the same effect: "Les Hollandois combattirent avec beaucoup de courage et de fermete; mais ils ne furent pas bien secondez par les Anglois." "Les Anglois se distinguerent des vaisseax de Hollande par le peu de valeur qu'ils montrerent dans le combat."] [Footnote 670: Life of James, ii. 409.; Burnet, ii. 5.] [Footnote 671: London Gazette, June 30. 1690; Historical and Political Mercury for July 1690.] [Footnote 672: Nottingham to William, July 15. 1690.] [Footnote 673: Burnet, ii. 53, 54.; Narcissus Luttrell's Diary, July 7. 11. 1690 London Gazette, July 14. 1690.] [Footnote 674: Mary to William, July 3. 10. 1690; Shrewsbury to Caermarthen, July 15.] [Footnote 675: Mary to the States General, July 12.; Burchett's Memoirs; An important Account of some remarkable Passages in the Life of Arthur, Earl of Torrington, 1691.] [Footnote 676: London Gazette, June 19 1690; History of the Wars in Ireland by an Officer in the Royal Army, 1690,; Villare Hibernicum, 1690;. Story's Impartial History, 1691; Historical Collections relating to the town of Belfast, 1817. This work contains curious extracts from MSS. of the seventeenth century.
