Murray records that, at a council of war held at Crieff, he com-plained much of the flight, and entreated to know who had advised it. Theprince did not incline to lay the blame on any body, but said he took it onhimself. t When the news arrived in London that the moment the rebelarmy saw the dukes, they turned back, with the utmost precipitation, itwas concluded that this flight, as Murray termed the retreat, lookedexceedingly like the conclusion of this business. J Unhappily, there is moreof this business to be related; and much of it of a painful nature, fromwhich we would gladly turn our view. MS. JounuU. t Jacobite Meuioire, p. 100. Walpole to Mann, Feb.
