zette, Oct. 12. 1691.] [Footnote 127: Story's Continuation; Diary of the Siege of Lymerick; London Gazette, Oct. 15. 1691.] [Footnote 128: The articles of the civil treaty have often been reprinted.] [Footnote 129: Story's Continuation; Diary of the Siege of Lymerick.] [Footnote 130: Story's Continuation; Diary of the Siege of Lymerick.] [Footnote 131: Story's Continuation. His narrative is confirmed by the testimony which an Irish Captain who was present has left us in bad Latin. "Hic apud sacrum omnes advertizantur a capellanis ire potius in Galliam."] [Footnote 132: D'Usson and Tesse to Barbesieux, Oct. 17. 1691.] [Footnote 133: That there was little sympathy between the Celts of Ulster and those of the Southern Provinces is evident from the curious memorial which the agent of Baldearg O'Donnel delivered to Avaux.] [Footnote 134: Treasury Letter Book, June 19. 1696; Journals of the Irish House of Commons Nov. 7. 1717.] [Footnote 135: This I relate on Mr. O'Callaghan's authority. History of the Irish Brigades Note 47.] [Footnote 136: There is, Junius wrote eighty years after the capitulation of Limerick, "a certain family in this country on which nature seems to have entailed a hereditary baseness of disposition. As far as their history has been known, the son has regularly improved upon the vices of the father, and has taken care to transmit them pure and undiminished into the bosom of his successors." Elsewhere he says of the member for Middlesex, "He has degraded even the name of Luttrell." He exclaims, in allusion to the marriage of the Duke of Cumberland and Mrs. Horton who was born a Luttrell: "Let Parliament look to it. A Luttrell shall never succeed to the Crown of England." It is certain that very few Englishmen can have sympathized with Junius's abhorrence of the Luttrells, or can even have understood it. Why then did he use expressions which to the great majority of his readers must have been unintelligible? My answer is that Philip Francis was born, and passed the first ten years of his life, within a walk of Luttrellstown.] [Footnote 137: Story's Continuation; London Gazette, Oct. 22. 1691; D'Usson and Tesse to Lewis, Oct. 4/14., and to Barbesieux, Oct. 7/17.; Light to the Blind.] [Footnote 138: Story's Continuation; London Gazette Jan. 4. 1691/2] [Footnote 139: Story's Continuation; Macariae Excidium, and Mr. O'Callaghan's note; London Gazette, Jan. 4. 1691/2.] [Footnote 14
