Syncing a Notebook to the Cloud


OneNote saves your notes every time you make a change in a notebook. To make sure
you can access your notebooks with a laptop, tablet, or smartphone wherever you
are, OneNote uses cloud-based storage, such as OneDrive or SharePoint. Microsoft
OneNote Mobile app, a lightweight version of OneNote 2016 shown in Figure 2, is
available for free in the Windows Store, Google Play for Android devices, and the
AppStore for iOS devices.
If you have a Microsoft account, OneNote saves your notes on OneDrive auto-
matically for all your mobile devices and computers, which is called syncing. For
example, you can use OneNote to take notes on your laptop during class, and then

followed by “Notes,” as in Caleb Notes.
b. Create four section tabs, each with a different class name.
c. Take detailed notes in those classes for one week. Be sure to include notes, drawings, and other types of content.
d. Sync your notes with your OneDrive. Submit your assignment in the format specified by your instructor.

2: Using OneNote to Organize a Research Paper

Perform the following tasks:
a. Create a new OneNote notebook on your Microsoft OneDrive account. Name the notebook Success Research.
b. Create three section tabs with the following names:
• Take Detailed Notes
• Be Respectful in Class
• Come to Class Prepared
c. On the web, research the topics and find three sources for each section. Copy a sentence from each source and paste
the sentence into the appropriate section. When you paste the sentence, OneNote inserts it in a note with a link to the
source.
d. Sync your notes with your OneDrive. Submit your assignment in the format specified by your instructor.

3: Planning Your Career


Note: This activity requires a webcam or built-in video camera on any type of device.
Consider an occupation that interests you. Using OneNote, examine the responsibilities, education requirements, potential
salary, and employment outlook of a specific career. Perform the following tasks:
a. Create a new OneNote notebook on your Microsoft OneDrive account. Name the notebook with your first name
followed by a career title, such as Kara - App Developer.
b. Create four section tabs with the names Responsibilities, Education Requirements, Median Salary, and Employment
Outlook.
c. Research the responsibilities of your career path. Using OneNote, record a short video (approximately 30 seconds) of
yourself explaining the responsibilities of your career path. Place the video in the Responsibilities section.
d. On the web, research the educational requirements for your career path and find two appropriate sources. Copy a para-
graph from each source and paste them into the appropriate section. When you paste a paragraph, OneNote inserts it
in a note with a link to the source.
e. Research the median salary for a single year for this career. Create a mathematical equation in the Median
Salary section that multiplies the amount of the median salary times 20 years to calculate how much you will
possibly earn.
f. For the Employment Outlook section, research the outlook for your career path. Take at least four notes about what you
find when researching the topic.
g. Sync your notes with your OneDrive. Submit your assignment in the format specified by your instructor.

Atterbury Plot. The details are somewhat obscure, and the
unravelling of them is complicated by the existence of another
scheme contemporaneous with Atterbury’s, apparently at first
independent, but which became merged in the larger design. The
author of this plot was Christopher Layer, a barrister of the Middle
Temple. Generally, his scheme was secretly to enlist broken and
discharged soldiers. They were to seize the Tower, the Bank, and the
Mint, and to secure the Hanoverian royal family, who were to be
deported. The larger scheme of the Junta was to obtain a foreign
force of 5000 troops to be landed in England under the Duke of
Ormonde, and risings were to be organised in different parts of the
kingdom. The signal for the outbreak was to be the departure of
George i. for Hanover, which was expected to take place in the
summer.
Layer, who does not seem to have been acting with Atterbury and
the Junta until later, was in Rome in the early months of 1721, and
there he unfolded his plan to the Jacobite Court. After he left, a plan
of campaign was arranged which, however, seems to have been
modified afterwards. The original intention was to begin the
movement in Scotland, whither Lord Mar and General Dillon[12] were
to proceed; and to accentuate the latter’s position as commander in
Scotland he was created an earl in the Scottish peerage, although
already an Irish (Jacobite) viscount. Lord Lansdowne was to
command in Cornwall, Lord Strafford in the north, Lord North in
London and Westminster, and Lord Arran was to go to Ireland. The
Chevalier was to leave Rome when Mar and Dillon left Paris, and to
make his way to Rotterdam via Frankfort, and there await events
before deciding where it would be best to land. Things seemed to be
prospering, but the English Jacobites did not sufficiently respond to
the call for financial support. James, deeply disappointed, appealed
to the Pope for help, only to be more bitterly mortified by his refusal.
The Pope, in so many words, said that if the English Jacobites
wanted a revolution they must pay for it themselves. The original
orders for invasion were cancelled in April; but negotiations seem to
have been continued with Spain through Cardinal Acquiviva,
Spanish envoy at Rome, ever James’s friend. A revised plan of
action was prepared. Wogan, who had been sent to Spain, had
succeeded in procuring assistance from that country; ships had been
prepared to carry a force of 5000 or 6000 men to Porto Longone, in
the Isle of Elba, where James was to embark. In July, James was on
the outlook for a Spanish fleet under Admiral Sorano.[13] But it was
too late. The plot had been discovered, the demand for troops
reaching the knowledge of the French ministers, who informed the
British ambassador. Spain was compelled to prevent the
embarkation, and King George did not go to Hanover that summer.
Mar had used the post office in spite of a warning by Atterbury
not to do so; his correspondence was intercepted, and a letter was
found which incriminated Atterbury and his associates. Government
was not hasty in acting, and the first conspirator to be arrested was
George Kelly, a Non-juring Irish clergyman who acted as Atterbury’s
secretary. He was seized at his lodgings on May 21st; and he very
nearly saved the situation. His papers and sword being placed in a
window by his captors, Kelly managed during a moment of
negligence to recover them. Holding his sword in his right hand he
threatened to run through the first man who approached him, while
all the time he held the incriminating papers to a candle with his left
hand, and not till they were burned did he surrender. It was not until
the end of August that Bishop Atterbury was taken into custody and
committed to the Tower. His trial did not begin until the spring of the
following year. Layer, who was betrayed by a mistress, was arrested
in September and tried in November. He was condemned to death,
but was respited from time to time in the hope that he would give
evidence to incriminate Atterbury and his associates. Layer refused
to reveal anything and was executed at Tyburn in May 1723, at the
very time when the bishop’s trial was taking place in the House of
Lords. Atterbury was found guilty: he was sentenced to be deprived
of all his ecclesiastical benefices and functions, to be incapacitated
from holding any civil offices, and to be banished from the kingdom
for ever. His associates of the Junta escaped with comparatively light
penalties. Kelly, sentenced to imprisonment during the King’s
pleasure, was kept in the Tower until 1736, when he managed to
escape, to reappear later in the drama. Atterbury went abroad and
entered the Chevalier’s service. He died in exile at Paris in 1732, but
he was buried in Westminster Abbey.
The failure of the schemes of Atterbury had a remarkable effect
on the unfortunate Chevalier. Apparently weary of failure and longing
for action, he wrote to the Pope on August 29th, 1722, offering to
serve in a crusade against the Turks; but he was told it would not do,
he must stick to his own task. To it he accordingly returned; and
implicitly believing that his people were longing for his restoration, he
issued a manifesto dated September 22nd, proposing ‘that if George
i. will quietly deliver to him the throne of his fathers he will in return
bestow upon George the title of king in his native dominions and
invite all other states to confirm it.’[14] The manifesto was printed and
circulated in England; it was ordered to be burned by the common
hangman.
It is somewhat remarkable that although the Atterbury Expedition
was to have been begun in Scotland, the records of the period make
no mention of the project, nor do there seem to have been any
preparations for a rising. The only suggestion of secret action being
taken that I know of—and it is no more than a suggestion—is that in
1721, on the same day that General Dillon, who was to command in
Scotland, was created a Scottish earl, a peerage was given to Sir
James Grant of Grant by the Chevalier de St. George.[15] What the
occasion of this honour may have been has never, so far as I know,
been revealed.[16]
Jacobite affairs in Scotland at that time were
administered by a Lanarkshire laird, George
Lockhart of Carnwath. Lockhart had been a Affairs in
member of the old Scots Estates before the Union Scotland.
of the kingdoms in 1707, and after the Union he sat in the Imperial
Parliament until 1715. In that year he raised a troop of horse for the
Jacobite cause, and after the rising he suffered a long imprisonment,
but was eventually released without trial. From 1718 to 1727 he
acted as the Chevalier’s chief confidential agent in Scotland. His
system of Jacobite management was by a body of trustees, which
was organised in 1722, and acted as a committee of regency for the
exiled king. In 1727 Lockhart’s correspondence fell into the hands of
Government and he had to fly the country. He was permitted to
return in the following year, but lived for the rest of his life in
retirement, and took no further part in Jacobite affairs.[17]
For some years after Lockhart’s flight, Scotland seems to have
been without any official representative of the Jacobite Court. In May
1736, however, Colonel James Urquhart[18] was appointed, though
under circumstances which have not yet been made known.

The proposed expedition connected with the Atterbury Plot was


the last project for an active campaign of restoration in which the
Chevalier was personally to embark. Scheming, of course, went on,
but only once after this did James leave Italy. In 1727, on the death
of George i., he hurried to Nancy to be ready for any emergency, but
the Duke of Lorraine had reluctantly to refuse him hospitality. He
retired to Avignon, but, as before, the British Government brought
pressure to bear, and he had to go back to Rome. Six years later, on
the death of Augustus the Strong, he was offered the elective throne
of Poland; but this he declined, saying that his own country engaged
his whole heart and all his inclinations, though he regretted that his
second son, Henry, then eight years old, was too young to be a
candidate for the crown worn by his Sobieski ancestor.

Meanwhile his elder son, Charles Edward, was Charles Edward

against Austria, which brought the crown of Naples
to the Spanish Bourbons. Charles, then not quite fourteen, took part
in the siege and capture of Gaeta, a fortress in Campania, and
accompanied Don Carlos in his triumphant entry into Naples as king
on August 9th. The Prince won much credit for his conduct in the
field, but this was the end of his experience of war, and his campaign
had lasted only six days. His father was anxious to extend his
military education, but France and Spain in turn declined to allow him
to serve with their armies. Even the Emperor, about to make war on
the Turks in 1737, refused to allow the young prince to accompany
his army. European potentates were unwilling to receive Charles
Edward even as a visitor. The Venetian minister in London was
ordered to quit England on twenty-four hours’ notice, because his
Government had shown civilities to the Prince on a visit to Venice.
The British Government was too vigilant to hoodwink, too strong to
offend. Peace reigned throughout Europe: Jacobite activity was
dormant both in England and in Scotland: the royal exiles were
isolated at Rome, and it seemed as if all hope of a Stuart Restoration
had been abandoned.

The first to inspire the Jacobite Court with new The Mission of
life and hope, and set in motion the events which Glenbucket.
led up to the great adventure of ’Forty-five was
John Gordon of Glenbucket. This remarkable man was no county
magnate nor of any particular family. At this time he possessed no
landed property; he was merely the tenant of a farm in Glenlivet,
which he held from the Duke of Gordon. His designation ‘of
Glenbucket’ was derived from a small property in the Don valley
which had been purchased by his grandfather, and which he
inherited from his father. He was not a Highlander, having been born
in the Aberdeenshire lowland district of Strathbogie, but he had so
thoroughly conformed himself to Highland spirit and manners that he
had won the affection and confidence of the Highlanders of
Banffshire and Strathspey. Glenbucket was at this time about sixty-
four years old. In his younger days he had been factor or
chamberlain to the Duke of Gordon, a position which conferred on
him considerable influence and power, particularly over the Duke’s
Highland vassals. In the ’Fifteen he had commanded a regiment of
the Gordon retainers, and behaved with gallantry and discretion
throughout the campaign.[20] About the year 1724 he had ceased to
be the Duke’s representative, but his connection with the
Highlanders was continued by the marriages of his daughters. One
of them was the wife of Forbes of Skellater, a considerable laird in
the Highland district of Upper Strathdon; another was married to the
great chief of Glengarry; and a third to Macdonell of Lochgarry.[21]
In the year 1737 Gordon sold Glenbucket, for which he realised
twelve thousand marks (about £700); and he left Scotland to visit the
Chevalier at Rome. On his way he passed through Paris, where he
had an interview with Cardinal Fleury, the French prime minister. To
the Cardinal he suggested a scheme of invasion, by which officers
and men of the Irish regiments in the French service quartered near
the coast could be suddenly and secretly transported to Scotland.[22]
The Cardinal, whose general policy was peace at any price,[23] gave
no encouragement to the scheme.

Glenbucket went on to Rome in January 1738: Message to the

Scotland. Immediately the Jacobite Court was filled
with sanguine activity. What the terms of Glenbucket’s mission were,
or whom he represented, have never been categorically stated.
Murray of Broughton hints that he only represented his son-in-law
Glengarry and General Alexander Gordon.[25] Even if this limitation
were true, it meant much. Glengarry was one of the greatest of
Highland chiefs, while General Gordon was that Nestor of Scottish
Jacobites who had been commander-in-chief after the Chevalier left
Scotland in 1716, and whose opinions must have carried much
weight. Although there is no direct statement of the terms of
Glenbucket’s mission, its significance can readily be understood
from the communication made to the English Jacobites. The
Chevalier at once wrote off to Cecil, his official agent in London,
informing him of the encouraging news he had received. The zeal of
his Scottish subjects, he said, was so strong that he considered it
possible to oppose the Scottish Highlanders to the greater part of the
troops of the British Government then available, and there was good
cause to hope for success even without foreign assistance, provided
the English Jacobites acted rightly.[26]
At the time that the Chevalier’s message reached his adherents
there happened to be in England a personage who bore the name
and designation of Lord Sempill.[27] Though of Scots descent he was
French by birth and residence. He was not familiar with English
ways, and he did not understand English political agitation. Mingling
for the most part with Jacobites avowed or secret, his ears were
filled with execration of the reigning dynasty. On every side he heard
the Whig Government denounced, and he saw it tottering and
vacillating. He mistook general political dissatisfaction for
revolutionary discontent, and he came to the conclusion that the
country longed for a restoration of the old royal line. Constituting
himself an envoy from the English Jacobites,[28] he hurried off to
Rome and reported to the Chevalier that the party was stronger than
was generally believed, and that affairs in England were most
favourable for action.

It is necessary here to relate how Glenbucket’s mission to Rome


affected the Scottish Jacobites, and to introduce into the narrative
the name of one who for five years was a mainstay of the Cause,
though in the end he turned traitor.
John Murray of Broughton, a younger son of Sir
David Murray of Stanhope (a Peeblesshire baronet
of ancient family who in his day had been an Murray of
ardent Jacobite), entered the University of Leyden Broughton.
in 1735, being then twenty years of age. In 1737 he had completed
his studies and went on a visit to Rome, where he mixed in the
Jacobite society of the place. Although he never had an interview
with James himself, he frequently met the young princes, and he
acquired the friendship of James Edgar, the Chevalier’s faithful
secretary. Murray’s father had once been proposed as an official
Jacobite agent in Scotland, and it seems highly probable that Edgar
persuaded the son to look forward to assuming such a position.
Murray left Rome to return to Scotland shortly before Glenbucket’s
arrival in January 1738.
Glenbucket’s message had convinced James of
the devotion of the Highlanders and the Jacobites
of north-eastern Scotland, but he wished to know The Concert of
more of the spirit of the Scottish Lowlands. At the Scots Jacobites.
same time that he wrote to the English Jacobites, he despatched
William Hay, a member of his household, to Scotland to make
inquiries and to report. Hay overtook Murray who was lingering in
Holland, and induced him to accompany him, as he was anxious to
be introduced to Murray’s cousin, Lord Kenmure, an ardent
Kirkcudbrightshire Jacobite. The acquaintance was duly made, and
although no record is yet known of Hay’s actual transactions in
Scotland, they can be conjectured with a fair amount of certainty
from the results which followed them in spite of Murray’s disparaging
remarks on his mission.[29] Hay visited the leading Jacobites, and it
is difficult to doubt that he set in motion a scheme for concerted
action. What is known is that he returned to Rome after three
months’ absence greatly satisfied with what he had found. In the
same year, presumably as the outcome of Hay’s mission, an
Association of Jacobite leaders was formed, sometimes termed ‘the
Concert,’ designed with the object of bringing together Highland
chiefs and lowland nobles,[30] pledged to do everything in their
power for the restoration of the exiled Stuarts. These Associators, as
they were called, were: the Duke of Perth; his uncle, Lord John
Drummond; Lord Lovat; Lord Linton, who in 1741 succeeded as fifth
Earl of Traquair; his brother, the Hon. John Stuart; Donald Cameron,
younger of Lochiel; and his father-in-law, Sir John Campbell of
Auchenbreck, an Argyllshire laird. The position of manager was
given to William Macgregor (or Drummond), the son of the
Perthshire laird of Balhaldies.[31] In contemporary documents
Macgregor[32] is generally termed ‘Balhaldy,’[33] and that designation
has been used in this volume. Murray of Broughton did not belong to
the Association, nor was he taken into its confidence until 1741. He,
however, attached himself to Colonel Urquhart, the official Jacobite
agent, and assisted him with his work. In 1740, when Urquhart was
dying of cancer, Murray was appointed to succeed him.
In December 1739 Balhaldy was sent by the Associators to Paris,
and from thence he went on to Rome. The Chevalier, greatly
cheered by what he had to tell, instructed him to return to Paris and
there to meet Sempill, who had become one of James’s most trusted
agents. Sempill would introduce him to Cardinal Fleury, before whom
they would lay the views of both the English and Scottish Jacobites.
Balhaldy returned to Paris, made the acquaintance of Sempill, an
acquaintance which subsequently ripened into a strong political,
perhaps personal, friendship. The interview with Fleury was
obtained, and negotiations commenced in the beginning of 1740,
about three months after the war with Spain, forced upon Walpole,
had broken out.[34]
It is no part of my task to follow the intricacies of the negotiations
between the French Ministry and the English Jacobites, except when
they affect the affairs of the Scots, but here it is necessary to turn
back for a moment to relate what took place after the English
Jacobites received the Chevalier’s communication of Glenbucket’s
message from Scotland.

Sempill, who had gone from England to Rome English


in the spring of 1738, was sent back in October reception of
with the Chevalier’s instructions to his English Scots
adherents to arrange for concerted action with the Proposals.
Scots. The English Jacobites formed a council of
six members to serve as a directing nucleus. This council
communicated the English views on the Scottish proposal to the
Chevalier as follows. Although the Government, they said, had only
29,000 regular troops in the British Isles, of which 13,000 were in
England, 12,000 in Ireland, and 4000 in Scotland, yet the rising of
the Scots could not take place, as the King hoped, without foreign
assistance. It would be a difficult matter to provide the Scots with
sufficient arms and munitions, and even if this difficulty could be
surmounted, it would take two months after they had been supplied
before their army could assemble and establish the royal authority in
Scotland; that it would take another month before the Scots could
march into England. Meantime the English leaders would be at the
mercy of the professional army of the Government which their
volunteer followers, entirely ignorant of discipline, could never
oppose alone. The principal royalists would be arrested in detail, and
their overawed followers would hold back from joining the Scots.
There were 13,000 regular soldiers in England. Government would
probably transfer 6000 from Ireland, and the army would be further
augmented by the importation of Dutch and Hanoverian troops.
Probably 8000 men would be sent to the frontier of Scotland. From
this they concluded that a rising in Scotland without foreign
assistance would involve possible failure and in any case a
disastrous civil war, while, on the other hand, the landing of a body of
regular troops would provide a rallying point for the insurgents. This
force should be equal to the number of troops generally quartered
about London and able to hold them, while the volunteer royalists
would march straight to the capital which was ready to declare in
their favour. They would then acquire the magazines and arsenals at
the seat of government, and almost all the treasures of England
(‘presque toutes les richesses d’Angleterre’). If at that juncture the
Scots would rise, the Hanoverians would be driven to despair. No
ally of the Elector, however powerful, would venture to attack Great
Britain reunited under her legitimate sovereign. The requirement of
the English would be 10,000 to 12,000 regular troops sent from
abroad; without such a disciplined force the English Jacobites would
not risk a rising.[35]
Sempill was sent by the Chevalier to Paris to lay these views
before Cardinal Fleury. The Cardinal, peace lover though he was, felt
that it would be absurd to neglect the assistance that the Jacobites
might afford him in the complications which were certain to arise
when the death of the Emperor Charles vi., then imminent, should
occur.[36] When the English views of requirement were presented to
him he received them sympathetically; said that the King of France
would willingly grant the help the English Jacobites desired, but two
things were absolutely necessary: he must have more exact
information than had been given him with regard to what royalist
adherents would join his troops on landing, and also as to those who
would rise at the same time in the provinces. If the English leaders
could satisfy His Majesty on these two points they might expect all
they asked for.[37]

Such was the state of Jacobite affairs at the Balhaldy’s


French Court when Sempill introduced Balhaldy to interview with
Fleury. I know of no categorical statement of the Fleury.
requirements that Balhaldy was to lay before the
Cardinal, but from a memorandum he wrote[38] it may be inferred
that the Associators had asked for 1500 men with arms, ammunition,
and money. Fleury replied that his sovereign was greatly pleased
with the proposals of the Scots, and that he approved of their
arrangements on behalf of their legitimate king. France, however,
was at peace with Great Britain, while Spain was at open war. King
Louis would ask the Spanish Court to undertake an expedition in
favour of King James to which he would give efficient support.[39]
Shortly afterwards, the Cardinal was obliged to tell Balhaldy that
Spain declined to entertain the proposal. The Spanish Court disliked
the war with England, and was quite aware that it had been forced
on Walpole by the Jacobites and the Opposition.[40] Spain was not
going to embarrass the British Government by embarking on a
Jacobite adventure.
Fleury then made a proposal that the Spanish Government
should finance a scheme by which an army of 10,000 Swedish
mercenaries should be engaged to invade Great Britain. While
secret negotiation was going on between the French and Spanish
Governments, knowledge of the proposal came to Elizabeth
Farnese, Queen of Spain. Elizabeth, fearing that a successful
movement for a Stuart restoration would put an end to the war with
Great Britain which she strongly favoured, inspired a paragraph in
the Amsterdam Gazette, which exploded the design before it could
be accomplished.[41]
Driven at last from his hope of using Spain as a catspaw, Fleury
informed Balhaldy that his master the King, touched with the zeal of
the Scots, would willingly send them all the Irish troops in his service,
with the arms, munitions, and the £20,000 asked for to assist the
Highlanders.[42]
Balhaldy hurried back to Scotland with this promise and met the
Associators in Edinburgh. Although the Jacobite leaders were
disappointed that French troops were not to be sent, they gratefully
accepted Fleury’s assurances, and in March 1741 they despatched
the following letter to the Cardinal, which was carried back to Paris
by Balhaldy.
Monseigneur,—Ayant appris de Monsieur
le baron de Balhaldies l’heureux succès des
représentations que nous l’avions chargé de Lettre de
faire à Votre Eminence sous le bon plaisir de quelques
Seigneurs
notre souverain légitime, nous nous hâtons de écossais au
renvoyer ce baron avec les témoignages de Cardinal de
notre vive et respectueuse reconnaissance et Fleury.[43]
avec les assurances les plus solennelles, tant
de notre part que de la part de ceux qui se sont engagés
avec nous à prendre les armes pour secouer le joug de
l’usurpation, que nous sommes prêts à remplir fidèlement
tout ce qui a été avancé dans le mémoire que my lord
Sempill et ledit sieur baron de Balhaldies eurent l’honneur
de remettre, signé de leurs mains, entre celles de Votre
Eminence au mois de mai dernier.
Les chefs de nos tribus des montagnes dont les noms
lui ont été remis en même temps avec le nombre
d’hommes que chacun d’eux s’est obligé de fournir,[44]
persistent inviolablement dans leurs engagements et nous
osons répondre à Votre Eminence qu’il y aura vingt mille
hommes sur pied pour le service de notre véritable et
unique seigneur, le Roi Jacques Huitième d’Ecosse
aussitôt qu’il plaira à S.M.T.C. de nous envoyer des armes
et des munitions avec les troupes qui sont nécessaires
pour conserver ces armes jusqu’à ce que nous puissions
nous assembler.
Ces vingt mille hommes pourront si facilement chasser
ou détruire les troupes que le gouvernement présent
entretient actuellement dans notre pays et même toutes
celles qu’on y pourra faire marcher sur les premières
alarmes que nous sommes assurément bien fondés
d’espérer qu’avec l’assistance divine et sous les auspices
du Roi Très Chrétien les fidèles Ecossais seront en état,
non seulement de rétablir en très peu de temps l’autorité
de leur Roi Légitime dans tout son royaume d’Ecosse et
de l’y affermir contre les efforts des partisans d’Hannover,
mais aussi de l’aider puissamment au recouvrement de
ces autres Etats, ce qui sera d’autant plus facile que nos
voisins de l’Angleterre ne sont pas moins fatigués que
nous de la tyrannie odieuse sous laquelle nous gémissons
tous également et que nous savons qu’ils sont très bien
disposés à s’unir avec nous ou avec quelque puissance
que ce soit qui voudra leur donner les recours dont ils out
besoin pour se remettre sous un gouvernement légitime et
naturel. Nous prenons actuellement des mesures pour
agir de concert avec eux.
Quant au secours qui est nécessaire pour l’Ecosse en
particulier, nous aurions souhaité que S.M.T.C. eût bien
voulu nous accorder des troupes françaises qui eussent
renouvelé parmi nous les leçons d’une valeur héroïque et
d’une fidélité incorruptible que nos ancêtres ont tant de
fois apprises dans la France même; mais puisque V.E.
juge à propos de nous envoyer de sujets de notre Roi,
nous les recevrons avec joie comme venant de sa part, et
nous tâcherons de leur faire sentir le cas que nous faisons
et de leur attachement à notre souverain légitime et de
l’honneur qu’ils out acquis en marchant si longtemps sur
les traces des meilleurs sujets et des plus braves troupes
en l’Univers.
Monsieur le baron de Balhaldies connaît si
parfaitement notre situation, les opérations que nous
avons concertées, et tout ce qui nous regarde, qu’il serait
inutile d’entrer ici dans aucun détail. Nous supplions V.E.
de vouloir bien l’écouter favorablement et d’être
persuadée qu’il aura l’honneur de lui tout rapporter dans la
plus exacte vérité.
Si les ministres du gouvernement étaient moins jaloux
de nos démarches ou moins vigilants, nous engagerions
volontiers tous nos biens pour fournir aux frais de cette
expédition; mais nuls contrats n’étant valables, suivant
nos usages, sans être inscrits sur les registres publics, il
nous est impossible de lever une somme tant soit peu
considérable avec le secret qui convient dans les
circonstances présentes. C’est uniquement cette
considération qui nous empêche de faire un fond pour les
dépenses nécessaires, [ce qui serait une preuve ultérieure
que nous donnerions avec joie de notre zèle et de la
confiance avec laquelle nous nous rangeons sous
l’étendard de notre Roi naturel; mais le bien du service
nous oblige de nous contenir et] d’avoir recours à la
générosité de S.M.T.C. jusqu’à ce que l’on puisse lever les
droits royaux dans notre pays d’une manière régulière.
Nous sommes persuadés que l’on pourra y parvenir
dans l’espace de trois mois après l’arrivée des troupes
irlandaises et nous ne doutons point que notre patrie,
réunie alors sous le gouvernement de son Roi tant désiré
ne fasse des efforts qui donneront lieu à V.E. de prouver à
S.M.T.C. que les Ecossais modernes sont les vrais
descendants de ceux qui ont eu l’honneur d’être comptés
pendant tant de siècles les plus fidèles alliés des Rois,
ses prédécesseurs.
Nous sommes bien sensiblement touchés des
mouvements que V.E. s’est donnés et qu’elle veut bien
continuer pour faire entendre au Roi Catholique les
avantages qu’il y aurait à agir en faveur du Roi notre
maître dans la conjoncture présente. Nous avions cru que
ces avantages ne pouvaient échapper aux ministres
Espagnols; mais quelque travers qu’ils prennent dans la
conduite de cette guerre, V.E. prend une part qui ne saura
manquer de les en tirer heureusement et de frustrer
l’attente injuste des nations qui sont prêtes à fondre sur
les trésors du nouveau monde.
Nous en louons Dieu, Monseigneur, et nous le prions
avec ferveur de vouloir bien conserver V.E. non seulement
pour l’accomplissement du grand ouvrage que nous allons
entreprendre sous sa protection mais aussi pour en voir
les grands et heureux effets dans toute l’Europe aussi
bien que dans les trois royaumes britanniques, auxquels
son nom ne sera pas moins précieux dans tous les temps
à venir qu’à la France même qui a pris de si beaux
accroissements sous son ministère et dont la gloire va
être élevée jusqu’au comble en faisant vigorer la justice
chez ses voisins. Nous avons l’honneur d’être avec une
profonde vénération et un parfait dévouement,
Monseigneur, de votre Eminence, les très humbles et très
obéissants serviteurs,

Le duc de Perth
Le lord Jean Drumond de
Perth
My lord Lovat
Milord Linton
Cameron, baron de Locheil
Le chevalier Campbell
D’Achinbreck
M’Grieger baron de
Balhaldies.

à Edimbourg, ce 13ème Mars 1741.

[Translation.]
Having learned from the Baron of Balhaldies of the
happy success of the representations that we had
instructed him to make to Your Eminence, with the
approval of our legitimate Sovereign, we now hasten to
send this Baron back with the proofs of our lively and
respectful gratitude, and with the most solemn
undertaking, both by ourselves and by those who are
engaged along with us, to take up arms to throw off the
yoke of the usurpation, that we are ready to fulfil faithfully
all that was put forward in the Memorial, which my lord
Sempill and the said Baron of Balhaldies signed with their
own hands, and had the honour to place in the hands of
Your Eminence last May.
The chiefs of our Highland clans, whose names we
have sent at the same time with the number of men that
each binds himself to furnish, will without fail keep their
engagements, and we venture to be responsible to Your
Eminence that there will be 20,000 men on foot for the
service of our true and only lord, King James viii. of
Scotland, as soon as it will please His Most Christian
Majesty to send us arms and munitions, and the troops
that are necessary to guard those arms until we shall be
able to assemble.
These 20,000 men will be able so easily to defeat or to
destroy the troops that the Government employs at
present in our country, and even all those that it may be
able to despatch upon the first alarm, so that we feel
entirely justified in hoping that with divine assistance and
under the auspices of the most Christian King, the loyal
Scots will be in a condition, not only in a short time to re-
establish the authority of their legitimate King throughout
the whole Kingdom of Scotland, and to sustain him there
against the efforts of the partisans of Hanover, but also to
aid powerfully in the recovery of these other States, which
will be all the easier since our neighbours of England are
not less wearied than we are of the odious tyranny under
which we all equally groan; and we know that they are
thoroughly determined to unite with us, and with any
power whatever that would give them the opportunity they
require to place themselves once more under a legitimate
and natural Government. We are at present taking
measures to act along with them.
As to the assistance that is necessary for Scotland in
particular, we should have preferred that His Most
Christian Majesty might have been willing to grant us
French troops, who would have renewed among us the
lessons of heroic bravery and incorruptible fidelity, that our
ancestors have so often learned in France itself, but since
Your Eminence thinks fit to send subjects of our King, we
will receive them with joy as coming from him, and we will
endeavour to make them feel the value that we attach to
their devotion to our legitimate Sovereign, and the honour
that they have acquired in treading so long in the footsteps
of the best subjects and of the bravest troops in the
Universe.
The Baron of Balhaldies knows so perfectly our
situation, the plans that we have concerted, and
everything that affects us, that it will be unnecessary to
enter into any detail. We implore Your Eminence to listen
to him favourably, and to be assured that he will have the
honour of reporting to you with the utmost accuracy.
If the ministers of the Government were only less
suspicious of our actions or less watchful, we would
willingly pledge all our belongings to defray the cost of this
expedition, but as no contracts (of loan or sale) are
binding by our customs unless they have been inscribed in
the public registers, it is not possible for us to raise a sum
that would be sufficient, with the necessary secrecy that
present circumstances require. It is this consideration
alone that prevents us from raising a fund for the
necessary expense, the raising of which would bear
further proof of our zeal, which we should give with
pleasure, and of the confidence with which we place
ourselves under the standard of our natural King; but the
good of the service obliges us to restrain our wishes and
to have recourse to the generosity of His Most Christian
Majesty until it is possible to establish the royal rights in
our country in a regular manner.
We are persuaded that it would be possible to
accomplish this three months after the arrival of the Irish
troops, and we do not doubt that our country, reunited
under the Government of its king, so much desired, would
make such efforts as would enable Your Excellency to
prove to His Most Christian Majesty that the modern Scots
are the true descendants of those who have had the
honour of being counted during so many centuries the
most faithful allies of the kings, his predecessors.
We are very sensibly touched by what Your Eminence
has done, and will continue to do, to make the Catholic
king understand the advantages that he would have in
acting in favour of the King our master in the present
juncture. We had believed that these advantages could
not escape the notice of the Spanish Ministers, but
whatever strange things they may have done in the
conduct of this war, your Eminence is now acting in such a
way as cannot fail happily to extricate them from the
consequences of their mistakes, and to frustrate the unjust
attitude of those nations who are ready to fall upon the
treasures of the new world.
We praise God, Monseigneur, and we pray with fervour
that He would preserve Your Eminence, not only for the
accomplishment of the great work which we are going to
undertake under your protection, but also that you may
see the great and happy effects throughout Europe as well
as in the three kingdoms of Britain in which your name will
be not less precious in all time to come than in France
itself, which has been enlarged so remarkably under your
ministry; and that the glory of your name will be raised to
the highest pitch by making justice flourish among your
neighbours. We have the Honour to be, with profound
veneration and perfect devotion, Monseigneur, Your
Eminence’s very humble and obedient servants.

The promises of assistance from the French Court brought by


Balhaldy, and the letter of acceptance by the lords of the Concert
constituted the treaty between France and the Scottish Jacobites
which formed the foundation of all subsequent schemes undertaken
in Scotland. Even in the end it was detachments of the Irish
regiments, whose use was originally suggested by Glenbucket,
together with a Scottish regiment raised later than this by Lord John
Drummond, that formed the meagre support that was actually sent
over from France in 1745.
Balhaldy returned to France almost immediately, and in the winter
of 1740-41, he went to England where he met the Jacobite leaders,
of whom he particularly mentions the Earls of Orrery and Barrymore,
Sir Watkin Williams Wynne, and Sir John Hinde Cotton. With them
he endeavoured to form a scheme of concert between the English
and the Scottish Jacobites, but without much success.[45]

It was not until after the signing of the letter to Murray taken
Fleury that Murray was taken into the confidence into the
of the Jacobite leaders, and it was at this time that confidence of
he first met Lord Lovat. This was also the occasion the Concert.
of his first meeting with Balhaldy; their relations at
this time were quite friendly; Balhaldy handed over to Murray the
negotiation of a delicate ecclesiastical matter with which he had
been entrusted by the Chevalier.[46]
Another early duty was to raise money for the Cause, but to
Murray’s mortification, he had to give up the scheme of a loan,
because all the sympathisers to whom he applied declined to
subscribe; not, they said, because they objected to giving their
money, but each and all refused to be the first to compromise himself
by heading the subscription list. At this time Murray was not
permitted to undertake any active propaganda for a rising, as the
associated leaders feared that by increasing the numbers in the
secret there would be too great danger of leakage. The Associators
preferred to keep such work in their own hands, and each of them
had a district assigned to him.
After Balhaldy’s departure the unfortunate Associators were kept
in a state of agonising suspense, for nothing was heard from France
until the end of 1742. In December of that year, Lord Traquair
received a letter from Balhaldy couched in vague terms, assuring
him that troops and all things necessary for a rising would be
embarked early in the spring. The scheme, he wrote, was to make a
landing near Aberdeen and another in Kintyre. The whole tone of the
letter was so confident that the Associators felt that a French
expedition might be expected almost immediately, and they were
profoundly conscious that Scotland was not ready. So alarmed were
the leaders at the possibility of a premature landing, and so
uncertain were they about the promises vaguely conveyed in
Balhaldy’s letter, that they determined to send Murray over to Paris
to find out what the actual French promises were, and how they were
to be performed; and moreover to warn the Government of King
Louis how matters stood in Scotland.
Murray set off in January 1743. On his way he visited the Duke of
Perth, then residing at York, making what friends he could among
the English Jacobites. When Murray got to London, he was informed
of Cardinal Fleury’s death,[47] which somewhat staggered him, but
he determined to go on to France to find out how matters stood.
On arriving in Paris, Murray met Balhaldy and
Sempill. Balhaldy was surprised and not
particularly glad to see him, but he treated him Murray’s visit to
courteously, and discussing affairs with Murray, he Paris, 1743.
patronisingly informed him that he had not been told everything.
Sempill was very polite. He told Murray that a scheme had been
prepared by Fleury, but that the Cardinal’s illness and death had
interrupted it.[48] Sempill also told him that luckily he had persuaded
the Cardinal to impart his schemes to Monsieur Amelot, the Minister
for Foreign Affairs. An interview with the Minister was obtained at
