Transcript

(ae Wade was sent to retrieve General Cope’s defeat. The Young Pretender did not remain idle, and at the head of 6000 men set out with rapid strides for the south while Wade was but slowly advancing north. ‘To your arms! To your arms! My bonnie Hieland Lads! We winna brook the rule o’ a German thing. To your arms! To your arms! Wi’ your bonnets and your plaids, And hey for Charlie and our ain true king !’ Although the Highland enthusiasm and _sup- port were constantly on the increase—a fact which greatly tended to add to Prince Charlie’s illusions, —the inhabitants of Edinburgh and the Lowlands, partly from religious convictions, and partly from interest, showed but little zeal in his cause. Many of them drove a lucrative trade in carpets and night- caps, and were unwilling to incur any risk. The rivalries amongst the chiefs led to much dissension in the council of the Pretender. The more prudent were for delaying the advance, but the impetuosity of Charles, who had adopted the word ‘thorough’ as his motto, overruled them, and, concentrating his forces, he marched on Carlisle. In former days this city was considered the bul- wark of England against the Scots, but its ramparts had now become dilapidated, and after a brief parley the mayor opened the gates.
