FOOTNOTES:

[1] His Eminency died in the Beginning of the Year 1733, after which, Signior _Thomas Ratto_, and _Ottinelli_, heretofore Auditor of the _Rota_, and now Bishop of _Cordoua_, had the Care of the _Spanish_ Affairs, in which he was succeeded by Cardinal _Acquaviva_.

[2] Now Pope _Clement_ XII. whose Nephews and Nieces dwell in it.

[3] The last Hackney that was presented on the Part of the House of _Austria_, was deliver'd by the Prince of _Santa Croce_, whom the Emperor appointed for that Ceremony, because _Spain_ having conquer'd the Kingdom of _Naples_, the Constable was not willing to concern himself in the Affair, before it was finally decided. This was in the Year 1734.

[4] He is now a Cardinal and Archbishop of _Benevento_.

[5] This Princess, who was born _July_ 6. 1702. O. S. died _Jan._ 7. 1735.

[6] As the Baron above three Years since durst not venture much Money on the fulfilling of this Prophecy, we may now say it is not worth a Farthing.

[7] His Eminency is return'd to _France_, and succeeded in his Embassy by the Duke of _St. Aignan_.

[8] The Death of this Cardinal has been already mention'd. His Successor is M. _Ratto_, Bishop of _Cordoua_.

[9] _Henry_ was Son to King _Emanuel_, and _Sebastian_ was Grandson of _John_ III. Brother to the Cardinal _Henry_.

[10] He did it however in the Year 1733.

[11] Since these Letters were wrote, he is actually return'd, and hitherto he is come but poorly off. Tho' his Fate be not yet intirely determin'd, 'tis certain that he will not be degraded. A Sentence has been pass'd upon him, and ratify'd, whereby he is declar'd excommunicate, and out of a Possibility of being absolv'd, but by the Pope, even _in articulo mortis_; he is also to be confin'd in a Fortress, depriv'd of the Power of Speaking or Voting, _&c._ But as _omnia venalia Roma_, even more now than in _Jugurtha_'s Time, the Cardinal _del Gindici_, who is a Friend of his Eminency _Coscia_, gave him to understand, that the Pope was resolv'd to treat him as a Grand _Vizier_ in Disgrace; that he must absolutely refund, and that all his Sins shou'd be blotted out. Consequently his Eminency submitted to implore his Holiness's Clemency, on Condition of paying well for it; and in fine, his Pardon has been tax'd at thirty thousand Ducats. He has clamour'd against it not a little; but the Holy Father wou'd not abate an Ace of it, and the Cardinal was forc'd to acquiesce; however, as he always watches for the Death of the Pope, he desir'd to pay it at several Terms; and upon depositing ten thousand Crowns down, he immediately receiv'd Absolution, his Guards were taken off, and he had Liberty granted him to walk about in the Castle of _St. Angelo_, and to converse there with his Brother the Bishop of _Targa_. He pleads Poverty, and shuffles off his Payments from one time to another, in constant Expectation that the Gout will rise into the Pope's Stomach, and take him out of his Way. At length, in 1734, he paid down ten thousand Crowns more. But a Collector of Taxes, from whom he formerly receiv'd a great Present to procure him an Acquittance from the Chamber, to which he ow'd seventy thousand Crowns, died lately insolvent, and without making good the Fraud; and as _Cæsar_, they say, _loses nothing_, the Chamber comes upon Cardinal _Coscia_, who is condemn'd to pay this Deficiency too, and the Pope won't hear any Talk of compounding it.

[12] He Afterwards created him a Cardinal; but he died at _Benevento_ in 1733. Nobody after his Death wou'd accept of this Benefice, till the Pope gave it to the Abbat _Conti_, a _Roman_, who only took it upon Condition that his Holiness wou'd give him a red Hat to boot; which he did accordingly, at the last Promotion of Cardinals.

[13] It was publish'd in the News-papers of 1732, that this Gentleman was sentenc'd to be beheaded, but that his Holiness had commuted that Sentence to ten Years Imprisonment. It was afterwards said in the public News, that the Pope had shorten'd it, first, to seven Years, and then to three Years Imprisonment. At length the Pope was for removing him to _Perousa_, or elsewhere; but the Prelate wou'd not go, and said, If he cou'd not have his intire Liberty, he wou'd live and die in the Castle of _St. Angelo_.

[14] The Origin of this Ceremony, if we may believe Father _Sirmond_ and _Ciccarelli_, was this: It comes from a Custom they had at _Rome_, of distributing to the People upon every _Whitsunday_ the Remainder of the Paschal Wax-taper, which was consecrated on _Holy Saturday_. The Vulgar, who are always superstitious, appropriated several Virtues to this consecrated Wax, particularly that 'twas a Preservative against the Delusions of the Devil, and the Injuries of Lightning, _&c._ and they us'd to burn little Pieces of this Wax in their Houses. There being not enough left of the Paschal Wax-taper to satisfy the Cravings of the People, the Archdeacon took it into his Head to take some other Wax, which he sprinkled with Oil, bless'd it, and made little Bits of it in the Form of a Lamb, and then distributed them to the People. Afterwards they only flatted those Pieces of Wax, and impress'd 'em with the Stamp of a Lamb bearing the Standard of the Cross. They believe that none but such as are in Orders have the Power to touch them, and they are cover'd neatly with embroider'd Stuff to be given to the Laity. There is nothing by which the Monks more successfully impose upon the Credulous; for to such they distribute _Agnus Dei_'s that were never on t'other Side of the _Alps_.

[15] He is the Pope's Vicechamberlain.

[16] When he was at the Congress at _Cambray_, he had a Fancy to regulate every Plenipotentiary's Houshold; and indeed, that was all he did there. One Day he took it into his Head to give his [OE]conomical Rules at my Lord _Whitworth_'s, but he did not find my Lady very compliant; for, said she, M. _le Marquis, We make use of the +Italians+ to regulate our +Concerts+; but as for the Table, pray give us leave to consult the +French+._

[17] Cardinal _Grimani_ succeeded Cardinal _Bentivoglio_ in the Legateship of _Bologna_, as soon as the present Pope had created him a Cardinal; but he died in the Legateship, and his Holiness conferr'd it upon _John Baptist Spinola_, whom he had just before advanc'd to the Purple.

[18] Nevertheless there is a Difference between these two Families: The Duke _Ferdinand_ the last Survivor of that of _Kettler_, but of the Family of _Medicis_ there are Princes still living, who have an incontestable Right to the Succession; for 'tis certain, that _Bernard de Medicis_, the eldest Brother of Pope _Leo_ XI. descended from _Juvenco de Medicis_, Brother of _Sylvester Clarissimus_, the Head of the present reigning Branch, which _Bernard de Medicis_ was the Son of _Ottaviano_, the last Standard-bearer of _Florence_ in 1528. This _Bernard_ purchas'd the Barony of _Ottajano_ near Mount _Vesuvius_ in the Kingdom of _Naples_, to which he transferr'd this Branch of the _Medicis_; and the present Prince of _Ottajano_, and Duke of _Sarno_, who married _Theresa_, Daughter of _Charles_ Prince of _Acquaviva_, is his Great Great Grandson.

[19] The Count _de Charni_ signs N. _d'Orleans C. de Charni_. He is a Bastard of the _Orleans_ Family, but by whom is not known. He has advanc'd himself at the Court of _Spain_, and is now Commandant of _Naples_, and Lieutenant-General of the Kingdom.

[20] This Prince went thro' _France_, and arriv'd at _Florence_ the Beginning of the Year 1732.

[21] This young Prince died in 1734, as his illustrious Uncle did in the Year following.

[22] The _Spaniards_ took it at the Beginning of the War, and 'twas the first of their Exploits.

[23] _Giafferi_ did all he could; but was obliged to submit to Force, the Republic being assisted by the Troops which the Emperor had assembled in _Lombardy_, to oppose the Enterprizes he was then apprehensive of from the _Spaniards_. _Giafferi_ was arrested, but by a great deal of Art and Cunning he obtain'd his Freedom, after the _Genoese_ thought the _Corsicans_ were disarmed, destitute of Leaders, and reduced to a Sense of their Duty; and he retired to _Tuscany_. But the _Corsicans_ being no better treated than they were before their Accommodation, took up Arms again, upon which _Giafferi_ procured them all manner of Assistance, and actually returned to that Island, and put himself at the Head of the Malecontents, who seemed to have a fair Chance of regaining their Liberties. They were so uppish in Expectation of foreign Assistance, that they rejected some new Concessions made to them by the _Genoese_, in _Dec, 1734_, declar'd _Aitelli_ General of the Forces, and one _Costa_, a Man of great Intrigues, General-Auditor of the Island; and, at the same time, made Proposals to the King of _Spain_ to take them under his Protection, having renounced all Subjection to the Republic of _Genoa_, declar'd themselves a free and independent People, and resolv'd to defend their Liberties to the last Man. At length they receiv'd some Recruits of Money and Ammunition by one _Theodore_, who call'd himself the Baron _de Neuhoff_, and arriv'd in _March_ 1736. on Board an _English_ Ship from _Tunis_; but in the Name of what Power he acted, is as yet a Mystery. He had the Success to be proclaim'd King of _Corsica_, and Copper Money was coin'd there with his Effigies; but he has since been obliged to abandon the Island; and the _French_ have taken upon them to accommodate Matters between the _Genoese_ and _Corsicans_. It must be left to Time, to shew whether the _Genoese_ will have Reason to be pleased with this formidable Mediation. After all, that Republic has too much Cause to remember the Saying of Prince _Lewis_ of _Wirtemberg_, who, when he return'd with the Imperial Troops from suppressing the former Rebellion, told them, That the Island was not worth the Expences which the Republic had been at in reducing the _Corsicans_, and what they must be at continually to keep them in Subjection.

[24] The Prince had a Kindness for Mademoiselle _de Cumiane_, before she was married to the Count _de St. Sebastian_, when she was Maid of Honour to Madame Royale. She was afterwards a Lady of Honour to the Duchess of _Savoy_, and at last Tire-Woman to the Princess of _Piedmont_, late Queen of _Sardinia_. She has been a Widow since 1723. After she was married to the Count _de St. Sebastian_, she still preserv'd the King's Friendship and Esteem, and was always in great Credit with him. When she became a Widow, the old Flames of Love broke out again; the King gave her an Apartment at Court, where he cou'd see her without being seen, and he took Care of her Family.

[25] 'Tis said, that the real Motive of this Abdication was his Perplexity on Account of the Succession of _Parma_ and _Tuscany_, and the Introduction of the Infante _Don Carlos_ into _Italy_. They say he had enter'd into Engagements relating to this Affair, first with the Court of _Vienna_, and afterwards with _Spain_; and it not being possible for him to satisfy either of those Courts without exposing himself to the Resentment of the other, he resolved to abdicate, at least for a Time, because he knew of no other Way to extricate himself from the Dilemma.

[26] The Abdication was performed the 3d of _September_, in the Castle of _Rivoli_. The declar'd Motives, were the Fatigues of a Reign of fifty Years, the Infirmities of old Age, and the Necessity of some Interval of Retirement, between a Throne and a Tomb.

[27] The King was not marry'd to the Countess of _St. Sebastian_, till he came to _Chamberry_, where she met him; for he set out from _Turin_ without her. When he marry'd her, he gave her one hundred thousand Crowns, with which she purchased the Marquisate of _Spigo_ for her Children, and then exchang'd her Title of Countess of _St. Sebastian_ for that of Marchioness of _Spigo_.

[28] _Victor Amedeus_ took it into his Head to reascend the Throne, as soon as he heard of the Conclusion of the Treaty of _Vienna_, by which the Emperor consented to the Introduction of the _Spaniards_. He then let the Marchioness _del Spigo_ into the true Motives of his Abdication, and into the Measures he intended to take for reascending the Throne. This ambitious Woman encourag'd him, and being withal a very cunning intriguing Person, she left no Stone unturn'd to bring a Project to bear, which would set her on the Throne; and she engag'd all her Friends and Relations in the Affair, of whom some betray'd her.

[29] These Proofs were his sending for the Marquis _del Borgo_ to _Montcallier_, demanding the Instrument of Abdication from him, giving him but twelve Hours time to fetch it, and his appearing before the Citadel of _Turin_, with a View of getting into it, and of animating the Garison to assist him in his Enterprise.

[30] These were all Privy Counsellors and Great Men, who being assembled by Order of the King, and consulted on the imminent Danger of his being dethron'd were all of Opinion for putting _Victor Amedeus_ and his Consort under an Arrest.

[31] He died _Oct._ 31. 1732.

[32] She died _Jan._ 13. 1735. and his Majesty has since married Sister of the present Great Duke of _Tuscany_.

[33] There is now but one Prince, the youngest being dead; but there are three Princesses.

[34] This is the Cardinal _Ferrera_, Bishop of _Verceil_.

[35] This wou'd be very extraordinary, as Mr. _Addison_ observes, were it not for other neighbouring Mountains that rise above it.

[36] This shews another Mistake of _Misson_, who says this Side is the most rugged.

[37] The _French_ are not the only People who boast of the Grandeur and other Advantages of _Lyons_, as appears from this Epigram by _Scaliger_.
