436 Letter 179 To Sir Horace Mann.  Arlington Street, Sept. 13, 1745.

The rebellion goes on; but hitherto there is no rising in England, nor landing of troops from abroad; indeed not even of ours or the Dutch.  The best account I can give you is, that if the Boy has apparently no enemies in Scotland, at least he has openly very few friends.  Nobody of note has joined him, but a brother of the Duke of Athol,(1103) and another of Lord Dunmore.(1104) For cannon, they have nothing but one-pounders:  their greatest resource is money; they have force Louis-d’ors.  The last accounts left them at Perth, making shoes and stockings.  It is certain that a sergeant of Cope’s with twelve men, put to flight two hundred, on killing only six or seven.  Two hundred of the Monroe clan have joined our forces.  Spirit seems to rise in London, though not in the proportion it ought; and then the person(1105) most concerned does every thing to check its progress:  when the ministers propose any thing with regard to the rebellion, he cries, “Pho! don’t talk to me of that stuff.”  Lord Granville has persuaded him that it is of no consequence.  Mr. Pelham talks every day of resigning:  he certainly will as soon as this is got over!—­if it is got over.  So, at least we shall see a restoration of queen Sophia.(1106) She has lain-in of a girl; though she had all the pretty boys in town brought to her for patterns.
