1 These affecting circumstances are stated in a letter written from Zaragoza, 22d of January, 1812, to D. Mariano de Lope, a priest who distinguished himself by his heroic conduct during both sieges. A copy of this letter I had the honour of receiving from the Countess de Bureta, who transmitted it to me at the time, that I might see what were the feelings and the conduct of her fellow-citizens during their captivity.
2 The weekly average of desertions I find thus curiously stated: 25 Spaniards, 15 Irish, 12 English, 6 Scotch, and half a Portugueze.
3 The particulars of this negotiation are stated by Escoiquiz upon Ferdinand’s authority, and from that king’s own papers.
4 The father of Baron de Lahoutan, in whose Voyages dans l’Amerique Septentrionale (Amsterdam, 1709, t. i. 149.) these facts are stated: the consequences were related by M. Dufort, of the Gironde, in the Legislative Assembly, 31 Aug. 1814.
5 As an instance of English character, it is worth stating in a note, that an honest butcher of Slough, near Windsor, Edward Shirley by name, sent Lord Wellington, as a Christmas present, the rump and sirloin of a famous ox. Government forwarded the present, and with the next dispatches Lord Wellington’s letter of thanks arrived, and was forwarded to Slough from the secretary of state’s office by a king’s messenger. The letter was as follows:—
“St. Jean de Luz, Jan. 19.
“Sir,
“I received the day before yesterday the sirloin and rump of beef which you were so kind as to send me; which although it did not arrive in time for the new year’s day, was a most welcome present for the queen’s birthday.
“I beg you to accept my best thanks for it; and to be assured that I duly appreciate the patriotic motives which induced you to avail yourself of an opportunity at the present moment of conveying to me your sense of the manner in which I have carried into execution his Majesty’s commands, and those of His Royal Highness the Prince Regent.
“I have the honour to be, sir,
Your most obedient, humble servant,
Wellington.
“To Mr. Edward Shirley, butcher,
Slough, near Windsor.”
6 After Buonaparte’s return from Elba, the Marquis put himself at the head of the Vendeans, repeated these words of his heroic brother, and died, like him, in the same cause.
7 This statement is drawn up from the printed narrative by Van Halen, and from a manuscript one by Eroles. Marshal Suchet’s brief account is erroneous in stating that Tortosa was the last place at which the stratagem was tried instead of the first. He says that Van Halen deserted, monté sur un cheval dérobé, et laissant à Barcelone des dettes criardes. (T. 2. 366.) Concerning the horse, it is not likely that in such circumstances the adventurer would be scrupulous; but as to his debts, he left a letter at Barcelona, saying, that there were the arrears of his pay to liquidate them, being more by one-half than all that he owed amounted to.
Van Halen afterwards got into the Inquisition as a freemason and a liberal, got out of it, published his adventures in English, went to Brussels, headed the inhabitants in that insurrection the success of which they have had so much reason to repent, was suspected of treachery by the party whom he had served, thrown into prison, and after awhile released. And there the drama of his unquiet life breaks off.
8 Bien suponiamos que lo habria, por las relaciones con las Potencias aliadas; pero no sabiéndolo de cierto, teniamos derecho, tratando con hombre tan perfido, para ponerlo en duda y conseguir con este justo dissimulo el fin de nuestros deseos que era la libertad del Rey. Engañar mañosamente con la verdad á un hombre tan falso, era una obra no mala sino excelente: tal era nuestro maxîma. Idea Sencilla, 114.
9 French exaggeration has seldom been carried farther than in the accounts of this action. One account makes the loss of the allies 21,000 in killed, and nearly 15,000 wounded! and the author of the Précis Historique de la Bataille takes credit to himself for moderation and candour in reducing the number of the slain to 17,000.—P. 3. pp. 32–37.
Punctuation and spelling were made consistent when a predominant preference was found in this book. Simple typographical errors were corrected and some unbalanced quotation marks were remedied. Other errors of these types were not changed because the corrections were not obvious to the Transcriber.
Ambiguous hyphens at the ends of lines were retained; occurrences of inconsistent hyphenation have been changed only when there was a predominant preference throughout the book.
The source book used many Sidenotes, printed in italics. Most match entries in the Table of Contents, but some are either dates or citations. To preserve proximity with the original text, if they were printed mid-paragraph, that is where they appear here. Depending on the format in which you are reading this eBook, Sidenotes may be distinguished from regular text by being shown in some combination of italics, boldface, UPPER-CASE, enclosed in ♦DIAMOND SYMBOLS♦, being offset into the left-margin, or in a rectangular area within the regular text. Due to limitations of some eReaders, some sidenotes may appear next to or below each other, depending on the width of the screen.
The original Table of Contents used “ib.” when the page number was the same as the one in the previous entry. This eBook uses the actual page numbers.
The years in which events occurred were printed in the running heads. In this eBook, the first occurrence of each new year has been added to the Sidenotes by the Transcriber. Sidenote dates also have been added at the beginning of each chapter. This does not form an unbroken timeline, as the years in the running heads sometimes went back and forth.
The spelling and accent marks of non-English words were not checked or changed.
Page 4: “beat his breast” was printed as “beast”; changed here.
Page 45: no ending quotation mark for text beginning with “or to prevent an insurrection.”
Page 172: “route of fugitives” was printed as “rout” in an earlier edition of this book.
