Excerpt from The Manuscripts of the Marquess Townshend Lord Derwentwater, and to others still remembered for their share in the rebellion. There is a good letter, too, from General George Carpenter, dated at Nottingham on the 23rd November 1715, detailing his own services during a month's chase of the rebels, and complaining of their inadequate recognition by the authorities. Copies of despatches to the Duke of Argyll, when commanding the expedition to Scotland against the Earl of Mar, from Lord Townshend and Secretary Stanhope, are also among these Jacobite papers, and the extracts given from them in the fol lowing report are of great interest. The first despatch is dated lst September 1715, and the series is continued at intervals of a few days until 2lst February in the year following. Of later date are some curious papers bearing on a project for disarming the High lands, and a very long letter from General Wade, showing the manner in which that part of the kingdom could in his opinion be made secure against future attempts to disturb its peace.
