Jacobite camp.

The general outline here sketched must now be filled up in detail.
The origo mali was the divisions among the Jacobites. Ever since
1715 these had existed and multiplied. Mar was thought to be a
traitor. Atterbury, in exile, suspected O'Brien (Lord Lismore). The
Earl Marischal and Kelly {30a} were set against James's ministers,
Lord Sempil, Lord Lismore, and Balhaldie, the exiled chief of the
Macgregors. Lord Dunbar (Murray, brother of Lord Mansfield) was in
James's disgrace at Avignon. Sempil, Balhaldie, Lismore were 'the
King's party,' opposed to Marischal, Kelly, Sheridan, Lally
Tollendal, 'the Prince's party.' Each sect inveighed against the
other in unmeasured terms of reproach. This division widened when
Charles was in France, just before the expedition to Scotland.

One of James's agents in Paris, Lord Sempil, writes to him on July 5,
1745, with warnings against the Prince's counsellors, especially Sir
Thomas Sheridan (Charles's governor, and left-handed cousin) and
Kelly. They, with Lally Tollendal and others, arranged the descent
on Scotland without the knowledge of James or Sempil, whom Charles
and his party bitterly distrusted, as they also distrusted Lord
Lismore (O'Brien), James's other agent. While the Prince was in
Scotland (1745-1746), even before Prestonpans, the Jacobite affairs
in France were perplexed by the action of Lismore, Sempil, and
Balhaldie, acting for James, while the old Earl Marischal (who had
been in the rising of 1715, and the Glenshiel affair of 1719) acted
for the Prince. With the Earl Marischal was, for some time, Lord
Clancarty, of whom Sempil speaks as 'a very brave and worthy man.'
{31a} On the other hand, Oliver Macallester, the spy, describes
Clancarty, with whom he lived, as a slovenly, drunken, blaspheming
