"'His Majesty the King of Ireland, my august ally, has sent, under the
command of His Royal Highness Prince Daniel, his Majesty's youngest son,
an irresistible IRISH BRIGADE, to co-operate in the good work. His Grace
the Lion of Judah, the canonized patriarch of Tuam, blessed their green
banner before they set forth. Henceforth may the lilies and the harp
be ever twined together. Together we will make a crusade against the
infidels of Albion, and raze their heretic domes to the ground. Let our
cry be, Vive la France! down with England! Montjoie St. Denis!
"'BY THE KING.
"'The Secretary of State and Grand Inquisitor. . . LA ROUE. The
Marshal of France. . . POMADOUR DE L'AILE DE PIGEON. The General
Commander-in-Chief of the Irish Brigade in the service of his Most
Christian Majesty. . . DANIEL, PRINCE OF BALLYBUNION.
'HENRI."'
"His Majesty reviewed the admirable Police force, and held a council
of Ministers in the afternoon. Measures were concerted for the instant
putting down of the disturbances in the departments of the Rhine and
Loire, and it is arranged that on the capture of the pretenders, they
shall be lodged in separate cells in the prison of the Luxembourg: the
apartments are already prepared, and the officers at their posts.
"The grand banquet that was to be given at the palace to-day to the
diplomatic body, has been put off; all the ambassadors being attacked
with illness, which compels them to stay at home.
