Miss Strickland's " Life of Margaret Tudor." — 

 Miss Strickland, in her Life of Margaret Tudor, 

 p. 227., says, that " the master of Kilmorris en- 

 tered Holyrood to inform the king" of the arrival 

 of Lennox. " Before Kilmorris could be seized, 

 young King James led him through the coining 

 house, and enabled him to get safely out of Holy- 

 rood." Who may Kilmorris be ? Does she mean 

 Kilmaurs ? 



Again, she asserts that the Earl of Angus had 

 been betrothed to a noble lady : " some say a 

 daughter of the Earl of Traquair" (p. 230.). Who 

 might he be? There was no Earl of Traquair 

 until 1633. 



Two letters from James to Mary of Lorraine are 

 translated (p. 397.). The reference is " Register 

 House, Edinburg]i,jBaZca/'re5 Papers, from French 

 original." Another (p. 380.) is said to be " from a 

 small scarce tract, containing extracts from the 

 Balcarres Papers, Register Office." A third (p. 

 402.) " Original in French, edited from the Bal- 

 carres Papers, Register Office." Now the Balcarras 

 Papers are not in the Register House, but belong 

 to the Faculty of Advocates ; and the letters are 

 printed in a collection well known to Scottish an- 

 tiquaries, entitled Analecta Scotica, vol. i. J. M.

Naval Victories. — In looking over a collection 

 of MS. papers, referring to occurrences at the 

 latter part of the reign of George II., I found two 

 which appear to me to have some point; ori- 

 ginating in two as glorious naval victories, both 

 effected at the interval of three months, as ever 

 graced the British name. The first is styled une 

 pasquinade, and stated to have been posted up in 

 Paris after Boscawen's victory over M. de la Clue, 

 on August 20, 1759 : 



" Bateaux plats h vendre, 



Soldats a louer, 

 Ministre h, pendre, 



Generaux h. rouer. 

 O France ! le sexe femelle 



Fit toujours ton destin, 

 Ton bonlieur vint d'une Pucelle,* 



Ton malheur vient d'une Catin." f 



To the more ready understanding of the second, 

 I may premise that in Boscawen's action with 

 M. de la Clue, on Aug. 20, 1759, the ship of the 

 latter was F Ocean of eighty guns, which was 

 burnt. In Hawke's victory over M. de Conflans, 

 on Nov. 20, 1759, Le Soleil Royal, the ship of the 

 latter, was destroyed. The epigram is as follows : 



" What wonders brave Hawke and Boscawen have done ! 

 The one burnt the Ocean, the other the Sun I " 



It may be difficult to ascertain who wrote the 

 first of the above jeux d'esprit, but perhaps some 



* La Pucelle d'Orle'ans. , 



f Mme. de Pompadour, La belle d'Etiole, who com- 

 pletely usurped the sovereign authority in the time of 

 Louis XV.. and on whom an epitaph is given by Mouffle 

 d'Angerville : 



" Ci-git qui fut quinze ans Pucelle, 

 Vingt ans Catin, puis huit ans Maquerelle."
