Introduction. Dr. Arnold, in iiis liistory of Homo, remorlts that the paino .story inny be told ngain with offei-t, oven after It hns been often told before, If we hnvc re ceived it from nn original and ndetKn dent source. Hut when we derive all our knowledge from a single account, nnd that account has been once perfect ly given, there it nothing to be done by Inter writers but to copy it, or simply to htato its substance. Thus, when the Dr. comes to touch upon the condemnation of T. Munlius bv his" father, he confines himself to giving its outline, and referring tho reader to the pages of Livy for the full narration. And vuo that hns read Livy's account, unmatched for its simplicity nnd pa thos, of that affecting incident In Ro man history, will doubt Dr. Arnold's wisdom in this respect ? So, in a measure, it may be said ilh regard to tho Massacre of Glencoc. Sir Walter Scott and Lord Macaulay have both gone to original sources for infor mation concerning that dark event in British history, which has served so much to becloud King William's glory, and each has'given to the world an ac count that will forever remain un equt'Ied for clear statement, vivid de scription, and touching eloquence in recounting tho sufferings of the vic tims. Who, then, at this late day, will have tho presumption to como upon tho stage, and, in a strain of bathos, at tempt to win plaudits from an unsus pecting public by narrating the mas sacre of Glencoc ? GUI WALTEK SCOTT. I have formerly mentioned, that some dis putes arose concerning the distribution of a Urge sum ot money, with which the Karl ol Breidalbiie Wtw itf-ue-!, to procure, or rather purchase, a piace iu the u,rfhlamk Lord llreaila.lune and tho-e with whom he nego'la'ed disagroed, aud the Enclish.KOV- eminent, becoming suspicious of the inten tions oi t'ie uiguiatiu enters to play last and loose On the rxcailon, sont forth a proclama tion in th month of Aneust, W91, requiring tbem, anl each Cf tLem, iosuhiuitto govern ment, betore the first dy of January, 1092 Af.er this period, it was announced that those who had not submitted themselves, should be subjected to the extremities of fire and sword.

Yet thl uuhannv chief ivmi rash enough to stand nut to the last moment, and dteliueto tsko advaulageof King VIUlra's Indemnity, till the Hum appointed by the proclamatlmi was well ninh expln-d. Tbedl'i'leasureof the Eirl ol Breadalbane eeems speedily lo have communicated itself to the Master or Htalr, who, in bis corres pondence with Lieutenant Colonel Hamilton. commanding in the Highland", expresses tne greatest resenimeut against Ma'lau oi Olencoe, for having, by his Interference, helped to mar the bargain between Breadal bane and the Highland Qhlefs. Accordingly, in a toner oj1 :;ieomber, the Secretaiy in tlmalod that government was determined to destroy utterly some of tho clans, In order to torrify the others, and that he hoped that, by standing out and refusing to submit under the indemnity, the MacDonalds of Glencoo would (all Into the net. This was a month before the ilmo limited by the Indemnity, so long did these bloody thoughts occupy the mind of this unprincipled statesman. Ere the term o'. mercy expired, however, Macl-in't own npprehsiou, or tho advice of friendi, dictated to him the necessity of sub mitting to the same condition which others had embraced, and be went w Itb his princi pal followers to take the oath of allegiance to King William. This was a very brief space before the 1st of Jtnuary, which, by the terms of thn proclamation, thooppoitunlty of claiming the lndomutty was to expire. Muclan was, therefore, much alarmed to find that Colonel Hill, the governor of Fort William, to whom he tendered the oath of allegiance, bad no power to receivo It, being a military, aud not a oivll officer. Colonel Hill, however, had sympathy with the dis tress and even tears of the old chloftain, and gave him a lettor to Sir Colin Campbell ot Ardkinlas, Sheriff of Argyleshiro, request lug him to receive the '-lost sheep," ami ad minister tho oath to him, that ho mlt'ht have the advantage of the indemnity, though so late in claiming It. Maolan hastened from Fort William toln ver.iry,without even turning aside to his own house, though he-rassed wlthlu a mllool It. But the road", always very bad, wcto now rendered almost impassub'le by a storm of snow; so that, with all tho specd-lbn unfortu nate cllktlan could exert, tho latnl lt ol Jan uary was pasl bofoiu he reached Inverarr. fPl. CllK.vlff ll...A.F ..Anlnr fl.1, UurtlflTI bad complied with the spirit ot the statute, in tendering his submission within the given priv:, under the sincere, though mistaken uellef, that ho was applying to the person or dered to receive it; and considering also, that, but for tbe tempestuous weather, It would after all have been offeied In prese'nee of tho proper law officer did not hesitate to administer tbe oath of allegiance, and seut oil' an express to the Privy Council, containing an attestation of Mailotu's having takon the oaths, and a full explanation of the circum stances which had delayed his doing so uutil the lauso of the appointed period. Tbe Sher iff also wrote lo Colonel Hill what he had done, and requested that he would tako care thai Glencne should not ha annoye . by any military parties until tbe pleasure of the Council should bo known, which ho could not doubt would be favorable. Maclan, therefore, returned to his own liou;.o, and it sided there, as he supposed, In safely, uuder the prolec.iou of tbe Govern ment to which bj hud sworn allegiance. That he might merit this protection, he convoked bis c'an, acquainted them with his submis sion, and commanded them to livo peaceably aud give no cuo of offence, under pain of uIn displeasure. In ibe meantime, tbe vindictive Secretary ol State hid procured oiders Irotn his Sover eign respecting the measures to bit followed with such of thd chiefs as should uot havo taken tbe oaths wlthlu tbe term prescribed. Thn first or these orders, dated ll.h January, contained peremptory directions for military execution, by lire and sword, against all who should' not have made their submission wlthlu the time apuoluted. It was, however, provided, in order to avoid driving them to desperation, that them was still to rtnmiu a power of grautlng mercy to those labs who. even after the llinu was past, should still enmn In and submit thembolv'O'i. Suuti were tbo tormsoflhy first royal warrant, lu which Glencoc was not nau'i u. It iCrliu attcrrturds to have occurred to I Stair. t'ja.Oieiuou would he bbeltertd under J tile: ".h .r Mi I in ol Gleneoe, and that tribe, If they c.tn ho well dbliuguisbul from tbo rest nft'lii) lilglilandurx, it will be proper for the vindication ot public Jus.lco, to extir pate that sot ot thieves." You will remark thu hypocritical clemency and renl criii'hv of thesu niklructloiiH, which proless a readiness to extend mercy to thoto who needed il not (forall thomher Highland ers had stitimititil within the limited llmo,) and deny il to Gleneoe, thu only man who had not lieeu Hble J I. orally toomnly with llio prtsd uu ion, though in all lair construc tion, he had doue what It required. Under what pielei.ceoreoioriug King Wil liam's aulhuril was obtained fur such eruel instructions, Il would bo lu valu to inquire, rjieaherilfof Argjle'a letter had never been produced Ix-lore the Council; aud the certifi cate of Mai Itn's having taken the oath was blotted nu, and, in iho Scottish phrase, de leted Iron the books of tbe Privy Council. Il seems probable, therefore, that the fart of that chief's submission waa altogether con cealed iroiu tha Kiug, aud that be waa held out In the light of desperate and Incorrigible leader or banditti, who was the main ob-tacle to tbe perace of the Highlands; but if wet admit that William acted under auch mUnurtasBtaitnna. deep blame will till attach to him for rashly issuing orders of an Import eo 'dreadful. It i remarkable that tbeaa fatal Instruction are both super aorlbed mud aubioribdU by tbe King bimself, wkereaa. ! moat state papers, tba Sovereign onl r au DerscribesADd tker are connterslmed by tba Secretary;of State, who U answerable lor vucif mum", "4'u4.jifi'j,1vu "., on that occasion, was not probably ambitious 01 olniming. The Mecreiary's letters to Iho military olll wrs dimctlng the inoele of executing the King's ordern, betray the deep and avnge luteiHst which ho personally look In their tenor, and bis desire that the bloody execu tion should be a general as possible. He dwelt in iheea letters Unti tLe proper time atMieeaMMi lor culling on tne uevouu trine. "Ttie winter," he said "Is the only season In which tbe Highlanders cstiuot elude us, or carry their wives, children, and cattle, to the usnuntaln. They cannot escapo you; lor what human eonslltiulon can theu endure ho long oat ot boueeT This Is the proper seasou lo maul them in tii long dark nlitnts." He nould noteiiprees his Joy that Gler.oe had not come in wiiniu tne limn presoriiieil ; autl expresses his hearty wishes that others had followed tha same eourre. lie assured the soldiers tbst their i lowers should be ample: and ha exacted from II i in nmnorllona) ex ertions. He entrestoa Hint thn thieving tribe of Glenooe bo rooted otf in earnest; aud be was at pains to expla:n a phrase which Is In itsell terribly aignitiuaut He gave direction" for securing every pass by hlch the victims could escape, and wsrutd the sold'ers that It were better to leave the (Mog unat- tetnpted, than' fall to doit to purpose. "To plunder their lands;, or driv e off their cittlo, would." say his. letters, "bo only to reudnr them desperate; they must be all slaughter' ed, ami the manner of execution must be sure, atcret, find effectual." IhtBo Instructions, "such as havo been raroly pennod In a Christian country, wore sent to Colonel Hill, the Governe' f Fori William, who, inatly sutprised and grieved at tbelr tenor, endeavored for fcouie ttmo to evade the execution of them. At length, obliged by his situation lo render obodlenco lo tbo King's commands, he transmitted the orders to Lleuteuant Colonel Hamilton, di recting hiiu to take 400 nieu of a Highland regimont belonging to the Kill of Argyle, and fulfill the royal mandate. Thus, lo make what was Intended yeloro,lf possihle,than it was In lis whole teuor, tho perpetration of this cruelty was committed to seldlers, who were not only the oountrymeu of tho pro scribed, but the neighbors, and tome of them tho close connections, of tho MacDonalds ol Glencos. This is the moro necessary to be remembered, because tbe massacre has un justly been said to have bceu committed by .uugiisn troops. Tne course or tho bloody deed was as follows: llsfore the end of January, a party of tho ljirl of Argjle's regiment, commanded by Captain Campbell of Glenlyon, approached Glencoo. Maclan's sons went out to moot thorn with a body ol men, to demand who'll er they came as trlends or foes. Thu olhccr replied that they came aa friends, being sent tn lake up their quarters for a short tiino in Gleneoe, in order to relieve tbo garrl ion ot Fort William, which was crowded with sol diers. Ou this tbey were welcomed with all the hospitality which tho chiel and his ful lowers had tho means; of extending to thoni, and thoy resided for fifteen days amongst the unsuspecting MacDonalds, lu t lie exchange ol every r-pecles of kindness and civility. That tbe laws of domestic ailuclion mighl be violated atllio eenio time with tho.'ool humanity and hospitality, you are lo under stand that Alaster McDonald, one of tho sons of Maclan, was married to a niece of Glen lyon, who commanded tho party of soldlors. It appears also, that the intended cruelty was to ba exercised npon defenceless menj for tbe MacDonald-, though afraid of no oihci ill-treatment from their military guests, hud supposed It possible the soldiers might have a commission to disarm mem, anu mereiore had sent their weapons to a distance, wheio tbey might bo out ofreich ufsuuuio. Gleulyon's parly had remained in Glencoo for fourteen or fifteen days, when he received orders from his commanding olllcur, Major Duucausou, expressed iu a manner which shows him to havo toon the woithy agent ol ihc cruel Secretary. They were sent iu con formity with orders of the samo dite, trans mitted to Duncansou by lltmilton, directing that all tbe MacDonalds under seventy years ot-ii go were to be cut ell", and that the Gov ernment teas not to be troubled with any jim one) 3 Dtipausou's orders to Gloulyou vere as follows: "You are hereby ordered to fall upon tho rebels, and put all to the sword tinder soven ty. You are to have especial care that the old fox and his rubs do on no auoount eeoape your hands: jou are to secure all tho avo uue, that no man escape.
