tates. The following is the extract
from Bishop Forbes's diary, from which the information is supplied:--

"Leith, Thursday, April 9, 1752.

"Alexander Macdonnell, the younger, of Glengary, did me the honour
to dine with me. In the course of conversation, I told young
Glengary, that I had oftener than once, heard the Viscountess
Dowager of Strathallan tell, that Lochiel, junior, had refused to
raise a man, or to make any appearance, till the Prince should give
him security for the full value of his estate, in the event of the
attempt proving abortive. To this young Glengary answered, that it
was fact, and that the Prince himself (after returning from France)
had frankly told him as much, assigning this as the weighty reason
why he (the Prince) had shown so much zeal in providing young
Lochiel (preferably to all others) in a regiment. 'For,' said the
Prince, 'I must do the best I can, in my present circumstances, to
keep my word to Lochiel.' Young Glengary told me, moreover, that
Lochiel, junior, (the above bargain with the Prince
notwithstanding,) insisted upon another condition before he would
join in the attempt, which was, that Glengary, senior, should give
it under his hand to raise his clan and join the Prince. Accordingly
Glengary, senior, when applied to upon the subject, did actually
give it under his hand, that his clan should rise under his own
second son as colonel, and Mac Donell, of Lochgary, as
lieutenant-colonel. Then, indeed, young Lochiel was gratified in all
his demands, and did instantly raise his clan.

"Glengary, junior, likewise assured me that Cluny Mac Pherson,
junior, made the same agreement with the Prince, before he would
join the attempt with his followers, as young Lochiel had done,
viz. to have security from the Prince for the full value of his
estate, lest the expedition should prove unsuccessful; which the
Prince accordingly consented unto, and gave security to said Cluny
Mac Pherson, junior, for the full value of his estate. Young
Glengary declared that he had this from the young Cluny Mac
Pherson's own mouth, as a weighty reason why he, Cluny, would not
part with the money which the Prince had committed to his care and
keeping."

Lochiel, after these arrangements with the Prince, returned to
Achnacarry, in order to
