This was exactly what Peterborough had been scheming to bring about. Mahony, with his cavalry, having delivered over the town, marched to theCarthusian convent, and there, finding themselves unsupported, rode onto the spot where the duke had been encamped, and finding that his armywas gone, followed it. On overtaking it Mahony was instantly arrestedand sent a prisoner to Madrid. It is satisfactory to know that he succeeded in clearing himself fromthe charge of treachery, was promoted to the ran...k of major general, andwas sent back with Las Torres, who was ordered to supersede the Duke ofArcos. The success of the earl's stratagem had been complete. Without the lossof a single man he had obtained possession of Murviedro, and had spreadsuch confusion and doubt into the enemy's army that, although more thanthree times his own force, it was marching away in all haste, havingabandoned the siege of Valencia, which city he could now enter with histroops. The success was a wonderful one; but it is sad to think thatit was gained by such a treacherous and dastardly maneuver, which mighthave cost a gallant officer--who was, moreover, a countryman and distantconnection of the earl--his honor and his life.
