This act, which, by one fell swoop, cut off the whole catholic descendants of James the First, of whom there were forty then alive, all nearer heirs to the crown than the princess, gave great offence to all the catholic princes concerned in the succession ; but the dutchess of Savoy, grand-daughter of Charles I. , the next in the line of succession after the family of King James II. , alone openly asserted her right, by ordering her ambassador. Count Maffei, to protest in her name against every... act of the English parliament tending to deprive her of her hereditary right to the crown. The count, accordingly, drew up a protest, two copies of which were delivered to the lord-keeper and the speaker of the house of commons, by two gentlemen in presence of a notary ; but no notice being taken of the matter in parliament, it was altogether overlooked. The act of settlement in favour of the princess Sophia and her heirs, was a death-blow to the Jacobite interest, but still the hopes of the party were not extinguished.
