me forget the ill Treatment I had received before and I answered his Civilities in very obliging Terms telling him that I would not fail to pay him that respect I knew was due to him and would come to Sup with him that night his reply was that he desired me to come pretty early that he might have the more leisure to talk with me concerning what News I could give him from England I went according to my promise and we spent the greatest part of our time in discoursing upon the English Affairs and the present Condition of that Court of which I gave him the best Account I was able to do yet so as to be careful not to let him know the least thing of the Secret I had to manage for the King's Service The next morning I continued my Journey to Paris where we were no sooner arrived but I began to try what metal Monsieur Christian's Niece was made of I must confess it to my shame considering I was a person who should have had more sense at that time being especially a Married Man and having many Children of my own But however it was what I had observed betwixt her pretended Uncle and her that Night I Supp'd with them at London rais'd my passion to that Degree that I could not forbear to attack a Fort which I did believe would not endure a long Siege and indeed I found my self not much mistaken in my guess for she was so good natur'd as to hang out the white Flag at the first Summons and soon after surrendred at Discretion After we began to be more Familiar together I check'd her one day concerning her amorous intrigue with her Uncle she would fain at first have denied the whole but finding that I would not be satisfied thus she at last confess'd what Familiarity had been betwixt them but at the same time told me that he was none of her Uncle nay not so much as the least of Kin to her and that she had only pass'd for his Niece in England because the Neighbourhood should take the less notice of their living together that Christian was born in Paris and she in Angiers that he was a Protestant and she a Cathalick but that to make her amends for the loss of her maiden-head he had brought her over to his Religion Finding her in a good vein to answer me every thing I ask'd her I began to examine her what business did bring her at this time to Paris and whether she knew the Contents of those Letters she brought along with her for the Marquiss de Louvois She told me that her Business was at Court where she was to wait on the Marquiss de Louvois in hopes to meet with a suitable encouragement to the Service she was going to do his Majesty by discovering to him the infidelity of a certain Swiss whose Name was Prancourt who being employed as a Spy by the Marquiss de Louvois in England did under that notion betray him to the Enemy That she had such convincing proof of what she offer'd as was past all contradiction because it was of his own Hand writing She then told me by what accident she happen'd to come by the secret It seems this Prancourt was an intimate acquaintance of Monsieur Christian and happened to come one Evening about a fort-night before she left England to see and take a merry Cup with him as they used frequently to do After the Glass had gone several times about Prancourt desired her as she pass'd accidentally thro' the room where they were to carry a Letter which he gave her to the Post-House because he did not care to stir at this time which she promised him to do very carefully but in lieu of delivering it to the Post thought fit to keep it being curious to see the contents of it which convinced her that he betray'd the Marquiss de Louvois For this Letter being directed to an Uncle of his who was one of the chief Magistrates in one of the Cities belonging to the Swiss Cantons he gave him notice that the Prince of Orange K. William III. had granted him a Commission to levy a Regiment of Swiss at the intercession of my Lord M .... his Wife's Uncle He desired him to engage as many Soldiers as he could in the Service besides several Officers whom he named to him She further told me that among other pretty Tricks her pretended Uncle Christian had taught her how to open and close up again the Seals of Letters without being perceived by any body and that she had made use of this Art to close up Prancourt's Letter so artificially again that the Marquiss de Louvois could not suspect the opening of it and that therefore she hoped for the greater Reward from his hands She confess'd that she had not said one Word of it to Monsieur Christian who she feared if he had known it would have made his own advantage of it and would have endeavoured by this Discovery to regain the favour of that Minister which she believed he had pretty well forfeited of late because he had for some time past not receiv'd his usual Allowance from him That she had improv'd this opportunity to compass her own Design under pretence that she would go into France to sollicit the payment of the Money due to him from Court which he had agreed to and charged her with another Message to be delivered by her to the Marquiss de Louvois to wit that he had prevailed with one of the Clerks under the E. of S .... to give him timely Intelligence of any thing of moment for a good consideration she added however that she would not positively affirm it for truth knowing him to be a Person full of vain Conceits and who would often imagine things quite different from what they really were besides that this might be perhaps invented by him to ingratiate himself at Court to hasten the payment of his Money When I seriously Reflected what a trick this Young Wench was going to put both upon Prancourt and her pretended Uncle I could not but be sensible how little confidence I ought to put in her besides that I always look'd upon it as a general maxim for a Man of Sense not to rely upon such light Gossips Nevertheless as it is one of the greatest defects of Mankind seldom to be forewarned by the misfortunes of others so I was very near to have been catch'd in the same Snare as Prancourt was the consequences of which would have proved as pernicious to me if I had been as Treacherous as he of which I shall have occasion to say more anon After I came to Versailles I waited immediately on the Marquiss de Louvois who did not see any body that Morning so I went to the Princess de Conti's Apartments one of the Kings Daughters to see whether I could hear any tidings of the before mentioned Lieutenant of the Chevalier de Fourbin I found his Father

LONDON Printed for R. Basset at the Mitre over-against Chancery-Lane in Fleet-street 1700. TO The Honourable Sir Charles Duncomb Kt. SHERIFF OF London and Middlesex SIR I Here present to You a Gentleman very considerable in his Extraction but unfortunate under his present Circumstances who after having in vain sought for Relief among his Country-Men whom he served to the prejudice both of his Honour and Estate has now taken a Resolution to try his Fortune once more in England The Character wherewith You have been lately dignify'd by the Metropolis of this Kingdom is an ample Testimony of what share this Noble City bears in Your happy Success in weathering the late Storm raised against You and Your Splendid Appearance in this Station beyond what was ever pretended to by any of Your Predecessors but above all Your Noble Mind in Relieving those in Distress as it sufficiently justifies their choice so it entitles You in a most peculiar manner to the Protection of a Gentleman groaning under the weight of Affliction True Generosity is like a large River which sending forth its Branches into the circumjacent Countries renders them Fruitful and pleasant 'T is true Vertue is its own Reward and a Man truely Vertuous will scarce ever make the Popular Applause the Standard of his Actions but it is also undeniable that there are certain Vertues such as Succouring the Unfortunate Relieving those in Distress and affording seasonable Food to such as labour under heavy Afflictions which as they tend to the general Benefit of Mankind so they ought not to be bereaved of their due Praises but to be made Conspicuous in their best Lustre to excite in others a most commendable Emulation of doing Good Of this we have seen the happy Effects in Your own Person Your Bounty and Charity towards so many Prisoners in Distress has had so powerful an Influence upon others as to serve them for an encouragement to follow Your Noble Example This happy Influence is so far from being confined within the Bounds of this Nation that it has extended its Effects to our neighbouring Kingdoms and States The Worthy Magistrates of Dublin are amongst the number of those who being stirr'd up by Your generous Example have endeavour'd to follow Your Foot-steps in Releasing a good Number of Prisoners of that City and who knows but it may have some good Effect upon the miserable in Franceâ— since the Fame thereof has pass'd thither has penetrated the Walls of the Bastile and reach'd the Ears of those under the closest Confinement there It is this SIR which has encouraged our Gentleman in Distress to Court Your Patronage in hopes that Your favourable Acceptance of what he offers to Your Protection may at least prove a seasonable Comfort to him in the Extremity of his Afflictions since by his ill Destiny by the Remoteness of the Place but above all by the severity of those for whom he had Sacrificed all he is bereaved of that Relief which he might reasonably expect from the more happy Constitution of our Government and from the Generosity of such a Patron as Your Self I cannot but promise my self a favourable acceptance from Your Generosity which has been so universal as not to be comprehended within the narrow compass of an Epistle which obliges me to Acquiesce with an intire confidence in Your Protection which next to a hearty wish for Your everlasting Prosperity is the most fervent Desire and highest Ambition of him who Subscribes himself Honoured SIR Your most Humble Servant J. C. M. D. THE PREFACE SINCE the first Publishing of this Treatise it has been no small dispute amongst those who pretend to be the most competent Judges of a matter of this nature whether the Author's intention had been to give us a true History or a piece participating both of the nature of a Novel and a History especially since the Bookseller of Cologn unto whom the Copy was first transmitted has either not thought fit or not been able to give any satisfactory Account upon this head The best way I can propose to the Reader for the deciding of this Question will be to have recourse to the Book it self and to endeavour to inform his own Judgment concerning the most remarkable head it contains of which many are of such a nature as cannot be long concealed to the World there being so many living Witnesses in England Germany France and Holland who are unquestionable Judges either of the Falsity or Truth of those matters Thus much is agreed on all hands that his Relation is sincere in what relates to his own Affairs even to his Personal Infirmities of which he gives a most particular Account without the least disguise but some of the Wiser sort have made this Observation that his Judgment is often misguided by Passion or fondness of entering upon digressions when he speaks of others though Persons of an eminent Rank an instance of which may be given in some certain Passages relating to the late D. of Sh ...... which are of such a nature as to be contradictory to what the greatest part of Europe was convinc'd of in relation to his constant Zeal for the Protestant Religion he always profess'd from his Infancy 'T is agreed of by most that if the Relation he gives us in the Quality of a Spy be genuine as by its Character it seems to be so nothing could be more natural or proficious for never any Spy in the World before him took so much pains to unmask himself and to represent his Profession in its true natural ugly shape and the Reward that commonly is bestowed upon those who follow this Trade Upon this occasion I cann't forbear to take notice how within these few Years foreign Generals have been represented upon the Stage in a neighbouring Nations where they pretend to a particular privilege of ridiculing all the World besides themselves giving a Crown-piece to a Spy for his secret services I am apt to believe the Author of these Memoirs would have been well satisfied if they had given him no worse Reward for having sacrificed both his Honour and Estate for their Interest A convincing instance that some Princes stand oftentimes more indebted to their propitious Stars than to the Rewards they bestow upon those that serve them Some who pretend to be acquainted withour Author's Person have this Observation that being of very low Stature very hard favour'd in his Physiognomy very lean and besides this disfigured by a wound in his Face they cannot conceive what should make the Ladies so fond of his Person as to be Debauch'd by or Married to a Person that made such an indifferent
E. of S ... to clear my self of all suspicion but he having told me nothing but what I found very true I had no further occasion to make use of this or any other precaution I saw him several times more before I left England and he having received Intelligence that the Marquiss de Louvois begun to be very urgent to have me Exchanged being impatient to have an account of the State of Affairs in England from my own mouth he came to see me one Evening and carried me to a certain place where Colonel Grimes lay Absconded After he had enlarged much upon the Colonels Loyalty he at last desired me to let him go over with me into France under the protection of my pass which was for me and four of my Attendance which I might easily do I having only three Servants viz. one Valet du Chamber and two Footmen The Colonel when he thought he might safely appear before me came out and desired the same thing of me which I promised them to do But the Colonel meeting with an intimate Friend of his who had likewise obtained a Pass for one single Person and having not the opportunity to make present use of it for himself had desired him to give it to him imagining that by this means he might go over with more security than if he went in my Company His reason was that I being a Stranger both I and my Servants would in all likelihood be more narrowly examined whereas he being a Native his Pass would carry him off without much Difficulty But it happened quite contrary to his Expectation tho' he had disguis'd himself 't is true when he came to Dover he was so fool hardy as to appear in the publick-streets so that he was discovered and put in prison The Colonel having as I told you changed his Resolution I did almost believe that the before-mentioned person of Quality had likewise altered his Mind for tho' as often as I saw him he always told me he would be sure to bring me the Letters nevertheless he did not come with them so that if I had not known the Officer who had told me who he was to be a Man of Honour I might easily have suspected his Integrity but as I knew this Officer to be a very honest Gentleman who would scorn to tell me an untruth I thought I had all the reason in the World to rely upon his Word without any further precaution of which you may be convinced by the follow Relation He had formerly been a Captain of Foot in the French Service but had been forc'd to fly that Kingdom by reason of a Duel he had fought with another Officer and to look for Refuge in England where he had obtained a Commission under his Britannick Majesty But this King being after the Arrival of the Prince of Orange forc'd to leave the Kingdom and the Earl of Feversham having after this misfortune Disbanded all his Forces he was at present out of Employment and reduced to that Extremity that he scarce knew how to subsist any longer There were several other French Officers at the same time in England who having been forced to leave France upon several accounts and durst not return thither were in the same Condition except those that were Protestants who altogether took Service under the Prince of Orange K. William III. and were well received by him But the Catholicks besides that they could not expect so much favour at his hands as the others were unwilling to serve a Prince whom they must expect to fight for against their natural Sovereign This Officer of whom I spoke before was altogether of this Opinion and had always made it his business to encourage the rest who were about forty two in number to persist in this generous Resolution at least till such time they might have an opportunity to try whether they could not be employ'd in their own Country again He used to tell them that the greatest part of Europe being upon the point of declaring against theâ— King they ought not to despair but that his Majesty might perhaps be pleased to pardon what was paâ—s'd to deserve which they could do nothing better than to give him this proof of their Fidelity They 〈…〉 to his advice sold their Horses and Equipages which they spent in hopes of hearing some good News from France whither they had writ privately to their Friends and Relations But these either had not received their Letters or else did not know how to make their Applications at Court to obtain their Pardon so that they received no Answer Being reduced to this extremity this Officer was sent to me in the name of all the rest and after he had represented to me the present ill posture of their Affairs he told me that being inform'd that I was very suddenly to return into France they desired me to speak in their behalf to the Marquiss de Louvois and that if in some time after they had no favourable Answer necessity which had no Law would enforce them to look out for another Master who would provide for them I highly commended their Resolution in general and his in particular I told him that to convince him of my readiness to serve them I would not only give them bare Promises but also something more solid and effectual that since I saw that their case was so urgent as to admit of no delay I would assist them with what Money I could possibly spare and that I was heartily sorry I was not at present in a capacity to do more and therefore they must take my good Will for the Dead That I would give to each of them fifty Livers which I hoped might serve them so long till I could obtain a favourable Answer for them from Court I desired them what ever they did to keep their own Council for fear if it should take vent they might else rob themselves of the benefit of their expected Pardon by their own Indiscretion it was absolutely necessary for me to give them this Precaution for if it had been known in the least at the English Court what I had done for them I should in all probability have lost the advantage of doing Service to our King for the future whom I was resolved to oblige as well after my return into France as I had done whilst I was in England This made me once resolve to give the whole Sum I intended to bestow upon them to this Officer for him to distribute it among the rest by which means I thought to avoid the inconveniency of being known and taken notice of by so many but considering his present Circumstances I began to be afraid that such a Sum might tempt him to something he would not easily be guilty of upon another Account I appointed them all a Meeting where I gave to every one his Share I had not so much Money by me as was requisite when I made this Promise but a
to defend himself and his Right upon the Bishoprick of Cologne by force of Arms. For tho' his Holiness being prepossess'd with prejudice and passion had excluded him from his pretensions upon this Arch-Bishoprick our King who was resolv'd to maintain the Cardinal in his Right did not think fit he should rest satisfied with this determination of the Pope For which reason he sent a considerable number of his Troops to his assistance most of which were put in Garrisons in the places of Strength in his possession who were also provided with able French Governors and Commanders Thus the War began to be rekindl'd upon the Rhine at the same time when on another side vast preparations were making for a descent in England which produc'd that famous Revolution which soon after happen'd in that Kingdom It is to be observ'd that the Prince of Orange finding the English Nation extreamly dissatify'd with their King not only as he was a Catholick but because they were sensible he endeavour'd to settle that Religion there in opposition to the establish'd Religion and the Laws of the Kingdom and willing to improve this opportunity made a descent upon the English Coast with a good Army where he was receiv'd with open Arms. For not only many of the Ministers and others belonging to his Britannick Majesty's Court but also most of the chief Officers of his Army life his Party and sided with the Prince The King himself f 〈…〉 t lâ—st into his â—ands who was put under a Guard but in such a manner that he might make his escape whenever he pleas'd The reason of which seem'd to be that the Prince had taken a resolution to prepare his way to the Throne without making use of any violent means and that he believ'd the King's presence might prove an obstacle to his Intentions Thus this Monarch made his escape out of England and came into France where the Queen his Spouse was arriv'd before him with the Prince of Wales under the Conduct of the Count de Lausun This young Prince who was then but a sucking Child had ever since he came out of his Mother's Womb been an Instance of the frailty of all humane Affairs and that we are born to sufferings in this World For it had been given out by some that he was a suppositious Child by others that he was indeed the Queen's Son but begotten by a Priest The Prince of Orange who had laid the Foundation of this Revolution ever since the time he found the King of England bent upon the establishing of the Catholick Religion in that Kingdom had engag'd in his Quarrel several Princes and States who being jealous of the Glory of France and the prosperity of our King's Arms were willing to favour a design which they knew would embroil the Kingdom of England After the Prince had succeeded in his design even beyond the Expectation of those who had sided with him all the Protestant States in Europe acknowledg'd him for King of Great Brittain and tho' it might have been reasonably expected that the Interest of the Catholick Religion which then lay at Stake should have been prevailing enough with the Emperor and Spain to prefer it before the Jealousie they had conceiv'd at the greatness of France yet they follow'd in this point without delay the footsteps of the Protestant Princes This was like the Alarm to our King who having order'd his Troops to besiege Philipsburgh and some other Places in the Palatinate this prov'd the occasion of the late War betwixt France and the Confederates who tho' of very different Sentiments both in point of Religion and States Interest enter'd into a League to carry on the War against and obstruct the growing greatness of our King The Imperialists were so successful as to make themselves Masters of the whole Electorate of Cologne the next following Campaign and besides this besieg'd the City of Mayence the Capital of the Arch-Bishoprick which bears that Name under the Conduct of the Duke of Lorrain the Imperial General The Dauphin had towards the latter end of the last Year made himself Master of this place without any resistance after he had taken Philipsburgh but it cost the Imperial Army a Siege of six Weeks besides a great many of their best Men before they could bring the French Garrison to a Capitulation and it was generally believ'd that they would have been forc'd to raise the Siege if the place had been sufficiently provided with every thing requisite for a long and vigorous defence I told you before upon what account it was I did not think fit to serve at the Siege of Luxenburgh but the case being alter'd since and finding there was probability enough that the War which was likely to spread over the greatest part of Europe would not come to a sudden period I once more left the Country and no sooner appear'd at Court but I offer'd my Service to the Marquess de Louvois being introduc'd to him by the Marquess de Livri This Gentleman told the Chief Minister in what Quality I had serv'd in Germany and I had brought my Commissions along with me which stood me in good stead For the Marquiss de Louvois desir'd to see them and after he had perus'd them he told me the King intended to make me a Leiutenant Colonel over a German Regiment But it was not very long before he chang'd his resolution for the very next time I came to pay my respects to this Minister of State he told me that the King's intention was to send me into Ireland and that instead of a Lieutenant Colonel's Commission I should be made Brigadeer of Horse Two Kinsmen of mine whose Names were Vignol and Forest had much about the same time taken Service in the King's Army and the Regiments they serv'd in were then in France but understanding that I was to go into Ireland they had so much kindness for me as to desire likewise to be employ'd in that Kingdom I did all I could to disswade them from it I represented to them that there was but little likelihood of any considerable advantage in the Irish Service at so great a distance from home but all in vain for they were resolv'd I should owe them this Obligation that they had sacrific'd their Interest to our Friendship The Marquess de Louvois having granted their Request the first had a Captain 's Commission bestow'd upon him the Second of a Lieutenant both of Horse Thus we set out all three together from Paris and I appointed them a certain day when without fail they were to be at Samur because I had receiv'd positive Orders from the Chief Minister not to carry above twice four and twenty Hours at my own home and to proceed from thence forthwith in my Journey to Nants where I should meet with many more Officers who had serv'd in the King's Army in Catalonia and were now order'd as well as my self to embark with all possible speed for
