Clancarty gave himself forth as a representative of the English Jacobites, but d'Argenson, in his 'Memoires, says he could produce no names of men of rank in the party except his own. D'Argenson was pestered by women, priests, and ragged Irish adventurers. In September 1745, the Earl Marischal and Clancarty visited d'Argenson, then foreign minister of Louis XV. in the King's camp in Flanders.
Clancarty was pardoned on condition that he should leave the kingdom and never return to it. A pension was granted to him, small when compared with the magnificent inheritance which he had forfeited, but quite sufficient to enable him to live like a gentleman on the Continent. He retired, accompanied by his Elizabeth, to Altona.
The man who was at Waterloo yesterday, is to be married to-morrow, and to sail for India in a week, has quite enough upon his hands." "Colonel Power, you will please to put your signature here," said Lord Clancarty, addressing himself to me. "If you will allow me," said Fred, "I had rather represent myself." "Is not this the colonel, then?
Perceval brought in a bill to check the sale and brokerage of offices, nor did Castlereagh himself escape the charge of having procured the election of Lord Clancarty to parliament by the offer of an Indian writership to a borough-monger. A frank explanation saved him from censure, especially as it appeared that the offer had never taken effect.
The Earl of Clancarty, and such of the O'Briens, McCarthys, and Butlers, as had resolved to resist the complete revolution in property, religion, and law, which Sidney meditated, united together to avenge the wrongs of those noblemen, their neighbours, so treacherously arrested and so cruelly confined.
I forgot yesterday to beg Sir John would write Edward an introduction to Lord Clancarty, and anybody else he can think of at Paris or the Hague, and send them to him as soon as possible. We have been Emperor hunting all morning. No, first we went to Mass with Miss Cholmondeley, and heard such music! Then with her to the Panorama of Vittoria, and since then we have been parading St.
The King of France, on August 27, sent friendly messages by Belleisle, but 'could not be explicit. Elliot reported that Clancarty 'would stick at no lyes to bring about his schemes. On September 5 came an anonymous warning against Murray, who 'is not trusted by the French Ministry. On September 28, Laurence Oliphant of Gask sent verses in praise of Charles written by 'Madame de Montagu, the lady who lent him 1,000l. years before.
The troops entered the town in crowds, and, incited, as in Dublin, by a mob calling themselves Protestants, they proceeded to plunder the houses and assault the Catholic inhabitants. The governor, M'Carty, was wounded. The Earls of Tyrone and Clancarty, with difficulty, made their escape from the mob.
Neat villas and gardens by the canal side marked our approach to the seat of government and a very first-rate Town the Hague is, though I cannot conceive how the people escape agues and colds in Autumn. Stagnant canals and pools, with all circulation of air checked by rows of trees, cannot be healthy. Unfortunately for us, Lord Clancarty is at Bruxelles with the Prince of Orange.
In general, honourable men of both parties, whatever might be their opinion of Clancarty, felt great compassion for his mother who was dying of a broken heart, and his poor young wife who was begging piteously to be admitted within the Traitor's Gate. Devonshire and Bedford joined with Ormond to ask for mercy. The aid of a still more powerful intercessor was called in.
