ingTrorn the secession of William and Mary to
the throne to the peace of Ryswiek in 1697.
The Revolution which resulted in.the banish
ment of James and the elevation of William
and. Mary, was a signal triumph of ?rotes- i
tentism over Catholicism, and as such was
hailed by the friends of the Reformed Religion!
throughont Eprope. At that period Jreland,

tion after the accessiou • of the new monareli-1
the Catholics of Ireland, headed by the priest.l
hood, being warm partisans of James. In this'
state,of things' l ,the banished monarch decided,
to march into Ireland. Londenderry, a strong-
hold „of Protestantism, was made the principal
point of attack. Lundy, who had command!
of the garrison, turned traitor, and was on the I
point of handing over the place to the parti
zans of James, when his villainy was discov
ered. This much by way of introduction to a I
few paragraphs fronneCauly's description of
this celebrated siege, and the heroic resistance
of its noble defenders. ]
.The city was left destitute ofall milita
ry and all civil government. No man in
rho town had a right to command arty
other; the defences were weak ; the pro.
visions were scanty ; an incensed tyrant and.
a great army were at the gates. But with.
in was that which has often, in desperate
extremities. retrieved the fallen fortunes of
nations. Betrayed, deserted, disorganized,
unprovided with resources, begirt with
enemies, the noble city was still no easy
conquest,. Whatever an engineer might
think of the strength of the ramparts, all
that was most intelligent, most courageous,
most high spirited among the Euglishry
of Lcinster and of Northern Ulster was
crowded behind them. The number of
men capable of bearing arms within the
walls was seven thousand ; and the whole
world could not have furnished seven thou
sand men better qualified to meet a terri
ble emergency with clear judgment, daunt.
less valor, and stubborn patience. They
were all zealous Protestants ; and the Pro
te3tant ism of the majority was tinged with
Puritanism. They had much in common
. .
with that rober, rebolute and God•tearing
clam out of which Cromwell had formed
his unconquerable army."
But these brave men wore not disheart
ened :
"No sooner had the first burst of the
rage excited by the perfidy of Lundy spent
itself than those wham he had betrayed
proceeded, with a gravity and prudence
worthy of the most renowned Senates, to
provide for the order and defense of the
city. Two Governors were elected, Ba
ker and Walker. Baker took the chief
military command. Walker', especial
business was to preserve internal tranquil
ity, and to dole out supplies from the mag
azines. The inhabitants capable of bear
ing arms were distributed into eight regi•
merits. Colonels, captains, and subordin-
ate officers were appointed. I❑ a few hours
every tuau knew his post, and was ready
to repair to it as soon AS the beat of the
drum was heard. That machinery, by
which Oliver had, in the preceding gene
ration, kept up among his soldiers so stern
and so pertinacious an enthusiasm, was
again employed with not less complete
success. Preaching and praying occupied
a large part of every day. Eighteen cler
gymen of the established 'church -,acid sev
en or eight of the - noneonforiaiiihinisters
were within the walls. They
. a exerted
themselves indefatigably to rouse • and
sustain the spirit of the people. Among
themselves there was for the time entire
harmony. All dispute about church gov
ernment, postures ceremonies. were forgot
ten. The Bishop, having found that
his lectures on passive obedience wore de
rided even by the Episcopalians, had with
drawn himself, first to Raphoe, and then
to England, and was preaching in a chapel,
iu Loudon. On the other hand, a Scotch
fellatio, named Howson, who had exhor
tad the Presbyterians not to ally themselves
with such as refused to subscrine the Con
! vent, had sunk under the well-merited
disgust and scorn bf the w hole Protestant
community. The aspect of the Cathedral
was remarkable. Canon were planted on
the summit of the broad tower which has
since given place to a tower of different
proportions. Amuuition was stored in.
the vaults. In the choir the liturgy of
the Anglican Church MIA road every morn
ing. Every afternoon the Dissenters
crowded toe simpler worship.
, James had waited twenty-four hours,
expecting, as it would seem, the perform.
onceof Lundy's promises ; and in twenty.
four hours the . arraegements for the de.
fonsvof Londonderry were complete.—
Oti — the evening of the 19th of April, a
trumpeter o=o to the southern gate, and
asked_ whether. the engagements into
which the .Governor had entered-would be

who guarded these walls, had nothing to

alive. In his rasp ; he ordered a alien to
he flung into the town with a fetter con ;
taining a terrible menace. He would. be
said, gather into one body all the Protes
tants! who had remained at their homes
between Charlomont and the sea, old men,
women, children, many, of, them near in
kilood and affection to the defenders of
Londonderry. No protection, whatever
might be the authority by which it had
boon given, should be respected. The
multitude thus brought together should he
driven under the walls of Londonderry,
and should there be Starved to death in
the sight of their countrymett,their frietids,
their kinsmen; This was no idle threat.
Parties were instantly sent out in all di
rections to collect victims: At dawn, on
the morning of the second of July. hun
dreds of Protestants, who were charged
with no crime, who were inettpableef bear
ing.arnis, and many of whom had protee
teotions granted. by James were dragged
to the gates of the city. it was imagined
that the piteous sight would' quell tho
spirit of the colonists. But the'orily of-- '
feet was to rouse that spirit to still greater
energy. An order was immediately put
forth that no man should utter the word
"Surrender" on pain of death ; and no I
man uttered that word. Several prisoners I
of high rank were in the town. Hitherto I
they had been well treated, and had recei.
Tod as good rations as wore measured out
to the garrison. They were now closely
confined. A gallows was erected on one
of the bastions; and a message was con
veyed to Rosen, requesting him to send al
confessor instantly to prepare his friouds
for death. The prisoners, in great dismay,
wrote to the savage Livonian, but received
no answer. They then addressed them- i
selves to their countryman, Richard Hann;
ilton. They were willing, they said, to
shed their blood for then
-King; but they
thought it hard todio h e i g noen t utouatleath
of thieves in consequence of the barbarity
of their own companions in arms. Ham- 1
ilton though a man of lax principles, was
not cruel. tie had been disgusted by the
inhumanity of Rosen, but beiug only sec
ond in command, tioutd not venture to ex-
press publicly all that he thought. lie.
however, remonstrated strongly. Some
Irish officers telt on this occasion as it was i
nature( that bravo men shouldleel, and de-
elated, weeping midi pity and iudiguaiiou, I
that they should never cease to have in !
their ears, the cries of the poor women and
ehildren who had been driven at the point
of the pike to die of famine between the
camp anti the city. Rosen persisted du-
ring forty-eight hours In that time na
ny unhappy creatures perished, but Lin
donderry held out as resolutely as ever ; !
and he saw that the crime was likely to
produce nothing but hatred and obloquy. ;
He ut length gave way and suffered the
survivors to withdraw. The garrison then
took down the gallows which had been e
rected on the bastion:"
At length the horrors of the sige were ag
gravated by the pressure of famine. A strict
search was made for provisions in the recesses
of every house throughout the city. Some
food was discovered, which had been conceal
ed in cellars by people who had died or made
their escape. But this proved only a scanty
store. Pestilence began to appear' in the
train of hunger
By this time July was far advanced;
and the state of the city was,
hour by
hour, becoming more frightful. The num,
ber of the inhabitants had been thinned
more by famine and disease than by the
fire of the enemy. Yet the fire was shar
per and more constant than ever. One of
the gates ,was beaten in ;
one of the bas
tions was laid in ruins ; but the breaches
made by day were repaired by night with
indefatigable activity, Every attack was
still repelled. But the fighting men of the
garrison were so much exhausted that they
could scarcely keep their logs. Several of
them, in the act of striking at the enemy,
fell down from mere weakness A very
small quantity of grain remained, and was
doled out by mouthfuls. The stock of sal
ted hides was considerable, and by knew
ing them they appeased the rage of huu
ger. Dogs fattened on the blood of the
slain who lay unburied around the town,
were luxuries which few could afford to
purchase. The price of a whelp's paw
was live shillings and sixpence. Nino
horses were still alive ' and but barely alive.
They were so lean that but little meat was
likely to be foiihd upon them. It was,
however, determined to slaughter them for
food. The people perished so fast that it
was impossible for the survivors to perform I
the rites of sepulture. There was scarcely
a cellar in which some corpse was not de
caying. - Such was the extremity of dis
tress, that the rats who came to feast in.
those hideous dens were eagerly hunted f
uud greedily devoured. A small fish,
caught in the river, was not to be purchas
ed with money. The only price fur whibh
such treasure could he obtained was some
handfuls of oatmeal. Leprosies, each as
strange and unwholsoine diet engenders,
made existence aconstunt torment. The
whole city, waS poisoned by the stench ex. I
haled from the bodies of the dead and the
half dead. Thal there should be fits

There was little slip on either side of the
