" That therefore his friends in England ought to take their
resolution once for all, to lose no time in concerting the execu-
tion of their designs at home, in conceiting measures with
his friends in Scotland, and in giving him notice of their
proceedings, and of their sence of things, and these points are
most earnestly recommended to them."
Paper LXIII.
Duke of Berwick to Chevalier de St. George.
(Extract.)
" September 25, 1715.
" I send your Majesty heare enclosed a letter I received
this night from Tie vers. It seems to agree with all we have
from England, that is (to) say, that the King is expected by
everybody. All this concludes for his Majesty's parting
as soon as possible. I wish the Duke of Ormonds journey
retards not the King's departure."
Paper LXIV.
DuJce of Berwick to Chevalier de St. George.
" St. Germain, Sept. 29, 1715.
" I have not had the honour of writing to 3' r Majesty this
long while, having been obligd to be running backwards
and forwards since the King's death, besides that the Queen
has given your Majesty an account of what has passed. We
have been doing all we could in the present conjuncture, but
all that is to be hoped is that France will not oppose your
Majesty in case matters be cariy'd on with secrecy ; the chief
and essential point is your getting through the Kingdom to
gain Scotland. Lord Bull (Lord Bolingbroke) has sent Flan-
ningham down to prepare a vessel. As soon as it is ready I
do humbly conceive your Majesty ought to loose no time ; none
can follow you for fear of making a noibe that may stopp your
journey.
" When Bull (Bnlingbroke) leads, Sheldon and Cammock
must find ways to meet you on the sea side ; and when your
Majesty is sail'd, all others must make the best of their way
to several ports and get shipps to carry them over to
Scotland.
" The Spanish Ambassador will not have an answer this
fortnight, but when it comes, if it is to be favourable, money
will easily be sent after, and will be alwayse welcome.
