The description of the various councils with which the Villars' Me- 

 moirs" conclude, appears at the end of the first part of Madam d'Aulnoy's 

 Memoires," from p. 202 to p. 216. Perhaps the fullest account of these 

 councils is given in the Abbe de Yayrac's " Etat Present de I'Espagne," 

 Paris, 1718, torn-. 3, pp. 300-462. I have an earlier tract, The Pre- 

 sent State of Spain, &c., translated from the Spanish copy lately printed 

 at Madrid," London, 1706, which also gives an account of them. 



THE MS. MEMOIEES DE LA COTJR d'eSPAGNE," TJ^ THE LIBKAEY OF THE 

 AESENAL AT PAKIS. 



Considering the easy steps that led me to a knowledge of this MS. 

 it is singular that among Mr. Stirling's friends at the British Museum, 

 and the still wider circle of the contributors to '^^N'otes and Queries," 

 there was no one found discursive enough in his reading to point out to 

 him its existence, which, the clew once being given, was as easy to 

 discover as the Barrier e du Trone, or the Place de la Concorde. Find- 

 ing, like Mr. Stirling and his referees, that the usual sources of in- 



made through a great part of Spain," by Francis Willoughby, Esq., London, 1673, we 

 have the following account of it thirty-five years earlier : — 



" Bread is very scarce and very dear in many places of Spain, because of the barren- 

 ness of the soil and want of rain, &c. . . . 



"This summer [1664] there was a tumult at Madrid : the poor people gathering 

 about the King's palace cried out, " Let the King Uve, but let the ill government die," 

 Src, p. 497.
