I, sick as I was, hurried about Paris to raise money, and to St. Germains to get him linen. I brought him one shirt and a cravat, with which, and five hun- dred livres, his whole stock, he and his duchess, attended by one servant, set out for Spain. All the news I have heard of them smce is, that a day or two after he sent for Captain Brierly, and DUKE OF WHARTON. 239 two or three of his domestics, to follow him ; but none but the captain obeyed the summons. Where they now are I can't tell, but... fear they must be in great distress by this time, if he has had no other supplies." From Paris, it appears, the unhappy duke pro- ceeded to Orleans, and from thence, in consequence of his inability to defray the expenses of a land journey, fell down the river Loire to Nantes in Brittany. Here he was compelled to remain till he received a small remittance from Paris, when he took ship, with his duchess, for Bilboa. In this town his resources again failed him ; and it was only owing to the small credit which he obtained, as being an officer in the Spanish ser- vice, that he himself was enabled to pursue his journey toward Madrid, while, at the same time, his duchess was compelled to remain behind at Bilboa.
