Shakespeare wrote of \nHamlet\'s father\'s ghost witli a sincerity \nand reverence which astonishes his mod- \nern readers ; Goethe believed in the di- \nvine right of kings, and Gibbon, affect- \ned by the prevalent atheism of Young \nFrance, speaks but slightingly of the \nbirth and progress of Christianity. If \nthis be true of literature, where men \nhave either to do with records of past \nevents or with the creations of their \nown imaginations, how much more so is \nit with a politician or patriot, whose \n\n\n\nb AN IRISH KNIGHT, \n\nchances of success depend solely upon \nliis ability to crystallize the evei\'-vary- \ning temper of the masses and make the \npopulace, that " many-headed monster \ntiling," serve to attain his ends. \n\nTherefore, it seems necessary to take \na cursory glance at Irish politics ante- \nrior to the time of E,ol)ert Emmet, be- \nfore it will be possible to understand \nthe motive power which could force a \nman possessed of birth and fortune into \nthe arms of rebellion and treason. \n\nBefore the Danish invasion, toward \nthe end of the eighth century, under \nFergus, Ireland seems, from the beauti- \nful account left us by the " Four Mas- \nters," to have realized the ideal of a \n" land flowino^ with milk and honev ; " \nblessed in the humane Brehon law ; \nblessed in the possession of a country \neminently adaj)ted to the grazing of \n\n\n\nAN IRISH KNIGHT. 7 \n\ntlieir herds, their chief wealth, and last- \nly, blessed in the possession of the \nChristian faith. From her had ema- \nnated the first rays that had joenetrated \nthe heathen darkness of Germany, Hel- \nvetia, and England. Her monasteries \nwere so renowned for their learning \nthat students came from the main con- \ntinent of Europe to sit at the feet of \nIrish teach ers, and although agriculture \nwas in its infancy, the wonderful \ntombs of the kings, and those round \ntowers that crown many of the heights \n(the despair of archaeologists), prove \nthat they were well acquainted with \nthe laws of architecture. \n\nSuch was the condition of Ireland \nwhen first invaded. What was her stat- \nus when Henry IL, in 1171, made use \nof a Bull granted by Adrian IV. ceding \n" the territory of Ireland " to him % \n\n\n\n8 AN IRISH KNIGHT, \n\nTorn by internal dissensions, united \nonly, like clouds, by the storm-blast of \nforeign invasion, to be parted again by \nthe whirlwinds of self-interest, Ireland \npresents tlie mournful picture of a coun- \ntry which foi\' nearly four centuries had \nbeen a prey to civil war. Learning, \ntliat child of gentle Peace, had tak- \nen to herself the wings of the morning \nand flown to the uttermost ends of the \nearth. However, the Brehon law still, \nin a measure, preserved humanity \namong the contending tribes, and the \nseptal arrangement insured to every \nman his own tract of land, with a joint \nownership in the tribal grazing ground. \n\nThis state of independent proprietor- \nship was, however, to cease. Henry H. \ninsisted on the introduction of the feu- \ndal law of tenure of lands, held direct- \nly from the Crown, a system totally \n\n\n\nAN lEISH KNIGHT. 9 \n\nforeign to either the spirit or letter of \nthe tribal conditions under which the \nIrish had formerly existed, thereby lay- \nins: the foundation of that land ao;ita- \ntion which to this day forms the chief \ndisturbing element in British politics. \n\nThe second great factor in the dis- \naffection of the Irish people is the ad- \nverse legislation which, python-like, has \nsince 1295 crushed, in its tortuous folds, \nthe frame around which Ireland could \nalone hope to build a system of equal \nrepresentation, namely, amalgamation. \nIt was in vain that mai-riage with an \nIrishwoman was declared a penal of- \nfence, vain that they were subjected to \nthe indignity of proclaiming their na- \ntionality by a black patch on the side \nof the face, vain also that a man could \nbe executed and his lands confiscated, if \nhe presumed to wear his hair long, or \n\n\n\n10 AN IRISH KNIGHT. \n\nlet Ms miistaclie grow, according to \nIrish custom. The attractions of the \nIrish maidens proved too strong for the \nprohibitory statutes, and intermarriages \ncontinued to take place. Fifteen years \nafter Cromwell\'s invasion, the children \nof some of his troopers could not speak \na word of English ! \n\nTo kill an Irishman was considered \nno crime by any English court, and, as \nlate as 1647, Irish women and boys \nwere shipped as slaves to the West In- \ndia Islands. \n\nThe third, and probably greatest, \ncause of Irish hatred of English su- \npremacy, has been one which would \nawaken the sympathy of any lover of \nfreedom ; namely, religious persecution. \nThe Roman Catholics, to which denom- \nination the larger part of the native \npopulation belonged, were subjected, as \n\n\n\nAN IRISH KNIGHT. 11 \n\nwere also the Presbyterians, to a tyr- \nanny rivalling any 2:>ractisecl in tlie \nNetherlands.

To pro- \nmote the better execution of this hu- \nmane statute, a 23remium of one-third of \nhis father\'s estate w^as offered to any \nson informing against his recusant par- \nent. A wife, too, by joining the Epis- \ncopal Church, could obtain a large por- \ntion of her husband\'s income, together \nwith the permission of the law to marry \nagain without forfeiting her alimony. \n\n\n\n12 AN IRISH KNIGHT. \n\nNo Catholic was allowed to possess a \nhorse valued at more than five pounds, \nin which case any Protestant might ten- \nder him the Test-oath, and on his refus- \ning to take it, seize both his steed and \nlands. \n\nMarriages between persons of differ- \nent creeds were declared unlawful, and \nthe children of such unions illeo-itimate. \nThese poor people, whose religion was \ntheir only crime, were debarred from \nentering the army, navy, or practising \nat the bar. The career of a politician \nwas closed to them by the Test-oath, as \nwere also the colleges, and if a Catholic \nventured into trade, he was again met by \nthe regulation that no recusant should \nhave more than two apprentices. The \ncrowning statute was passed in the reign \nof George II., by which every Roman \nCatholic was deprived of his vote. \n\n\n\nAN IRISH KNIGHT. 13 \n\nRemembering tliis persecution, we \ncan well understand how the people \nrose against the payment of tithes to \nsupport a clergy so intimately con- \nnected with the Government that it \nwas naturally concluded religious per- \nsecution emanated from them. While \ntheir own ecclesiastics were driven \nfrom the country with a price set \nupon their heads, it is hardly to be ex- \npected that the Irish would bear in \nsilence the imposition of a tax to sup- \nport a Church of Avhich they did not \napprove. \n\nTrue, a few priests were allowed to \nremain, but stationed so far apart, and \nthe laws so strino;eut ao-ainst their over- \nstepping the boundaries of their par- \nishes, that they only served, like a fee- \nble rush-liglit in the catacombs, to \nintensify the surrounding gloom.

The Liverpool merchants then \nimmediately raised such a cry that the \nGovernment was persuaded into the \nvery wise expedient of putting a quietus \nto Irish trade by providing, in the \n"Ship Bill" of 1660, that it should be \nillegal for any Irish vessel to enter the \ncarrying trade ; and latei", that Ireland \nshould only be allowed to export her \n\n\n\nAN IRISH KNIGHT. 15 \n\ngoods to Milford, Chester, and Liver- \npool. Thus Stafford crushed out the \nenterprise which promised to make the \n\'\' Green Isle " bloom again. \n\nIt has been said by some that Eng- \nland was 1)ound to repress the tenden- \ncy to rebellion hy stringent statutes. \nThat this argument is utterly false and \npernicious will be evident to any think- \ning mind. When is a man most ripe \nfor revolution \xe2\x80\x94 when he has a large fort- \nune at stake, or when he has nothing \nto lose, and probably all to gain ? It \nwas not the bourgeoisie of Paris that \nled the Revolution, but the rao:o;ed \ndenizens of the Faubourg St. Antoine. \nIt was the armed peasants of the moun- \ntains, and not the titled gentlemen of \nKome, who first raised the standard of \nUnited Italy. To come nearer home, \nthe revolt which set America free was \n\n\n\n16 AN lEISH KNIGHT. \n\nled, not by tlie great lords whose \nplantations were equal to a dukedom \nin extent and revenue, but by a man \nspringing from plain people, and edu- \ncated as a simple surveyor. No man \ncan strike as good a blow when his \nheart is with his money-bags. Had the \ngeutlemen of Ireland always stood true \nto the peasantry, the dissolution of the \nunion had not now been the chief per- \nplexing problem of English politics. \n\nThat such, a penal code should have \nbeen follov^ed by rebellions innumer- \nable is not surprising ; that the people \nshould have been repressed with wanton \ncruelty was the sequel to be expected. \nSir Walter Raleigh thought it a worthy \ndeed to put a whole garrison to the \nsword without mercy, after their surren- \nder, on condition that their lives should \nbe spared. Lord Ormond boasted that \n\n\n\nAN IRISH KNIGHT. 17 \n\nhe had put to death eighty-eight cap- \ntains, fifteen hundred and forty-seven \nrebels, and four thousand others. \n\nFamine and pestilence, those two \ngaunt sisters of war, followed close \nupon her footsteps, so that, in the time \nof Elizabeth, Froude tells us, "The \nlowino; of a cow or the sound of a \nploughboy\'s whistle was not to be \nheard from Valentia to the Rock of \nCashel." Nor was this the only occa- \nsion on which whole towns were de- \npopulated and counties laid waste. \nCromwell\'s proceedings in Wexford and \nDrogheda are another instance of this \nkind ; as well as the depopulation at- \ntendant upon the colonization system \nunder James, Charles I. and II., Will- \niam III., and George I. \n\nDuring the ensuing period, the fire of \nIrish animosity was kept aglow by re- \n\n\n\n18 AINT IRISH KNIGHT. \n\npeated acts of cruelty through which \nthe Government sought to quell the ris- \ning tide of liberalism. However, in the \nyear 1782 a free Irish Parliament was \nagain established by the efforts of Grat- \ntan, supported by the volunteers, who, \nwith arms in their hands, were in a po- \nsition rather to demand than petition \ntheir rights. Their efforts were, as may \nbe imagined, hailed with delight and \ngratitude by their oppressed fellow- \ncountrymen, and had this body been \nallowed to exist for a longer period \nthere is little doubt that Ireland would \nnow be a land rich in commerce, rich in \nagriculture, and richest in peace; but \nthe promises of England to this un- \nhappy country have ever been like the \ngifts of fairies, which crumble into \ndust at the first touch of the morning \nsunshine. So, the freedom which Grat- \n\n\n\nA]S" IRISH KNIGHT. 19 \n\ntan\'s magnificent eloquence had recon- \nquered for his people, was bought of a \ncarefully packed parliament, in no sense \nrepresentative of the country, for the \nsum of \xc2\xa31,2.60,000, twenty-two Irish, \nsix English peerages, twenty-two pro- \nmotions and forty-eight patents of no- \nbility. Having cursorily reviewed the \ngeneral march of Irish history down to \nthe Union, which now hangs in such a \ndelicate balance, we have reached the \ntime of the illustrious, though unfortu- \nnate, subject of this sketch. \n\nRobert Emmet was born March 4, \n1782. He was the youngest son of that \nRobert Emmet who, for many years, \nfilled the office of State Physician in \nDublin. Dr. Emmet seems to have \nheld most patriotic views as to the \nduties a man owed his country, and to \nhave early impressed his children with \n\n\n\n20 AN IRISH KNIGHT. \n\nthese opinions. Ciirran tells us of the \n" morning draught " of freedom which \nhe gave his sons. We catch a glimpse \nof him asking his eldest child. Temple, \n" What he would do for his country ? " \n"Addis," the second, "would kill his \nsister for Ireland." \n\nTemple, alas, did not, like his broth- \ners, live to exemplify the deep root \ntheir father\'s precepts had taken. He \nwas cut off in the full bloom of his \npromising manhood, not, however, be- \nfore having made a name for himself at \nthe Irish bar as a young fellow "who \nknew more law and divinity than any \njudge or bishop of them all." \n\nThomas Addis Emmet became an \nexile, and died in America, because of \nhis efforts for equal representation, and \nthe career of Eobert is one long story \nof patriotic devotion. \n\n\n\nAlSr IRISH KNIGHT. 21 \n\nUnlike Byron, no one seems to have \nliacl a premonition of his coming great- \nness, so the records of his childhood \nare but meagre. We hear, however, \nthat he possessed remarkable aptitude \nfor exact sciences, especially mathe- \nmatics and chemistry, which, indeed, he \ncontinued to study until his death. He \nhad an inveterate habit of bitino- his \niinger-nails, which at one time came \nvery near abridging the record of his \nlife to but small compass. When still \na child, he had one day been experi- \nmenting with corrosive sublimate, but, \ntaking up his algebra, became engrossed \nin a difficult problem, and fell into his \nusual habit of biting his nails ; the con- \nsequence was an attack of severe pain \ncaused by the poison. However, this \npeculiar little fellow consulted the En- \ncyclopaedia and finding chalk to be the \n\n\n\n22 AIT IRISH KNIGHT. \n\nantidote, took it and crept to bed with- \nout alarming anyone. " Wiien lie came \ndown to breakfast next morning," says \nan eye-witness, " his face was as little \nand yellow as an orange, and he told \na gentleman that he had suffered \ngreatly during the night." Neverthe- \nless, the algebraic problem was solved. \nVery strongly does the picture rise be- \nfore us of this strange, knightly child, \nwho met the probability of death with \nthe same utter fearlessness which \nformed so marked a characteristic of \nhis after life. How eagerly must this \nboy have drunk in the stories of oppres- \nsion and tyranny of which Irish history \nis but the partial record ! How must \nhis young heart have answered to the \ncall of liberty, that goddess who ever \nsmiles fairest upon her most youthful \ndevotees ! How his bright eyes must \n\n\n\nAN" IRISH KNIGHT. 23 \n\nhave shone as lie listened to tlie tales of \ngenerosity and daring tliat are asso- \nciated with the names of O\'Moore, Ger- \naldine, and Sarsfield ! It was at the \nfeet of his father that Robert Emmet \nlearned to love down-trodden Ireland \nbetter than bis life. \n\nHe was sent to school at an early age \nand came, immediately previous to his \nentrance into the University, under the \ncare of one Dr. Lewis, who, although a \nminister of the Episcopal Church, was \na liberal man and fully awake to the \ninjustice of Catholic disfranchisement. \n\nIn 1793, when fifteen years of age, \nEmmet became a member of Trinity \nCollege, Dublin, where his career was \nmarked by brilliant success, both as a \nstudent and orator. Moore gives a \npicture of him at this time drawn with \nsuch a loving hand, that the young pa- \n\n\n\n24 AlSr lEISH KNIGHT. \n\ntriot seems to live again, clothed in all \nthat ineffable sweetness and personal \nmagnetism which made men and women \nin after years suffer torture and death \nrather than betray his hiding place. \n\nWhat a gay life the coUegiates of that \nday enjoyed ! Their parties out to \nDalkey, where they crowned a monarch \nwith all the ceremonial of regal state ; \nthe pasquinades they wrote against the \ngovernment, the songs they sung, and \nlastly, the suppers, in consequence of \nwhich the "king lost his crown while \nmeasuring both sides of the road on his \nway home," as Moore expresses it. \n\nThere is much doubt whether Emmet \ntook part in any of these mummeries ; \nto him, young, all aglow with the burn- \ning desire of freedom, and the ever poig- \nnant sorrow for his oppressed country \ngnawing at his heart, that men should \n\n\n\nAlSr IRISH KNIGHT. 25 \n\nwaste their time on masquerades must \nhave seemed worse than frivolous. \n\nNo one takes life so seriously as \nyoung people, that is, when seriousness \ndoes become a factor in their theory of \nexistence. The old have reconciled \nthemselves to much, relinquished many \nho23es, and even to the boldest democrat \ngray hairs seem to bring a modicum \nof conservatism. Many a weary man \ndrops his oar as age comes upon him, \nand drifting with the stream of events, \nforgets in his selfish ease the Charybdis \nof anarchy and the Scylla of despotism \nwhich await the helpless ship of state. \n\nMoore tells us that when he entered \nthe University, Emmet was already cel- \nebrated for the wonderful purity of \nhis life, as well as for the remarkable \nqualities of his genius. \n\nThese two, so unlike, yet having so \n\n\n\n26 AN IRISH KNIGHT. \n\nmany points in common, seem to liave \ndrawn very close together. Emmet, \nwlio was passionately fond of music, \n^vonld sit for hours listening to the \nmelodies he loved played by "Little \nTommy ; " and one evening, when he \nstruck the last chords of " Let Erin re- \nmember the day," Emmet sprang to \nhis feet exclaiming, " Oh, were I at the \nhead of twenty thousand men, marching \n\nto that tune " Yet this hio-h-souled \n\nyoung Irishman never mentioned the \nplans of that society to which he al- \nready belonged ; but when, during one \nof the long country walks they took to- \no;ether. he discovered that Moore was \nthe author of a very revolutionary let- \nter which appeared in "The Press," a \nliberal organ of that time, in his won- \nderfully sweet voice and with " a gen- \ntleness almost feminine," he persuaded \n\n\n\nAlSr IRISH KNIGHT. 27 \n\nthe rasli boy to hold himself aloof from \nthe political movements of the day. \nHe then went on to expound his theory \nof a man\'s true duty to his country \xe2\x80\x94 to \nact, not merely to write or speak. It is \na singular instance of generosity on the \npart of Emmet, that he should not have \nsought to enlist the already budding \ngenius of his friend in Ireland\'s cause, \nfor which himself had ventured life and \nhonor. \n\nAt this time the whole island was \nablaze with patriotic agitation. The \nbroken faith of the English crown, and \nthe disappointed hopes of the perse- \ncuted Catholics, caused widespread dis- \nsatisfaction among the rank and file of \nthe people, and cast many into the out- \nstretched arms of the United Irishmen. \nThe discovery of the proselyting efforts \nof this society gave rise to a timorous \n\n\n\n28 ATSr IRISH KKIGHT. \n\nand unwortliy policy on the part of tlie \ngovernment. Tlie pretext of outrages \ncommitted by the \'* Defenders," was \nthe cause assigned for putting the coer- \ncion act into practice, by which any \nman being found out of his house be- \ntween sundown and six in the morning, \nrendered himself liable to arrest, and if \nunable to give an account of his busi- \nness satisfactory to the officer in com- \nmand, was transported to an English \nman-of-war, where he was forced to \nserve as a sailor. \n\nThe militia, chiefly composed of Or- \nangemen, were permitted to break into \nany house, at whatsoever hour they \npleased, to search for arms, or to ascer- \ntain if anyone besides the regular occu- \npants was within. That a party of \nmen exasperated by constant outrages \nand reprisals should not have been the \n\n\n\nAN IRISH KNIGHT. 29 \n\nbest preservers of the peace in a coun- \ntry already ripe for rebellion, can easily \nbe imagined, and one is not surprised to \nlearn tbat in every county under mili- \ntary law, the emissaries of " The United \nIrishmen" should have found fruitful \nsoil, and that the branch societies should \nhave grown with the rapidity of Jonah\'s \ngourd. \n\nPillage, murder, and arson are not the \nbest methods of pacifying a gallant peo- \nple, and well might the " Receipt to make \na Rebel " have been given as follows : \n\n"Take a loyal subject, uninfluenced \nby title, place, or pension, burn his \nhouse over his head, let the soldiery ex- \nercise every species of insult and bar- \nbarity toward his helpless family, and \nmarch away with the plunder of every \npart of his property they choose to save \nfrom the flames." \n\n\n\n30 ATT TEISH KNIGHT. \n\nAt such a period it could hardly be \nthat the college of which Emmet and \nTone were members should remain to- \ntally free from the prevailing temper of \nthe times. The historical society, which \nhad dragged out an intermittent exist- \nence since 1770, now became a power- \nful engine for disseminating patriotic \nand liberal views among the students. \nHere Emmet was destined to win fresh \nlaurels by his eloquence ; although \ntoward the end of his residence in the \nUniversity all references to modern his- \ntory were strictly prohibited, he was \nable, by subtle allusions and apt paral- \nlels, to raise the enthusiasm of his fel- \nlows to fever heat. \n\nMoore has preserved for us two of \ntheir subjects of discussion. " Is a \ndemocracy or aristocracy most favor- \nable to the advancement of science and \n\n\n\nAlSr IRISH KISTIGHT. 31 \n\nart, and whether a soldier is. at all times \nbound to obey the order of his com- \nmanding officer." That Emmet was \nthe glowing advocate of democracy \nand the liberty of a soldier to act ac- \ncording to his owu conscience, is of \ncourse understood. Strange havoc this \nidea would have made amono; the ser- \nried legions of a Caesar, or the rapidly \nwheeling columns of a Napoleon ; and \nstill greater among the heterogeneous \nmass, chosen from all nations, with \nwhich the great Frederick held the \nallied German powers in check. \n\nEmmet was to see the day when he \nrealized fully the necessity of strictest \ndiscipline in an army, and the dangers \nconsequent upon every man judging for \nhimself, while the general was held re- \nsponsible for the conduct of alL " So \nexciting and powerful," says Moore, \n\n\n\n32 AN IRISH KNIGHT. \n\n" were the speeches of Emmet, and so \nlittle were the most distinguished \nspeakers among oar opponents able to \ncope with his eloquence, that the \nBoard, at length, actually thought it \nright to send among us a man of ad- \nvanced standing in the University, and \nbelonging to a former race of good \nspeakers in the society, in order that he \nmight answer the speeches of Emmet, \nand endeavor to obviate what they con- \nsidered the mischievous impression pro- \nduced by them." \n\nNot many months after this event \nthe storm broke, the plot was discov- \nered, the French exj^edition under \nHoche did not arrive. "The elements \nseemed," says Walpole, " to fight for \nEngland," and indeed, in this case ad- \nverse winds detained them on the \nFrench coast till the tide in the aiffairs \n\n3 \n\n\n\nAK IP.ISH KNIGHT. 33 \n\nof Ireland, whicli might have borne her \non to independence, was at the ebb, and \nonly served to throw her unhappy chil- \ndren upon the treacherous quicksands \nof English mercy. \n\nEmmet\'s brother, Thomas Addis, \nwas, in 1798, arrested and committed \nto Newgate prison, on the same day \nthat the Executive Committee was \nseized at the house of Oliver Bond, \nwhere they were in session. This move- \nment initiated the system by which the \ngovernment proposed to crush the re- \nbellion. \n\nAn examining board was created at \nthe University, and the students were \nsworn on oath to divulge to the full ex- \ntent their knowledge of the Society of \nUnited Irishmen, and to give the names \nof any person or jDersons whom they \nknew to be members. On receiving the \n\n\n\n34 AN IRISH KNIGHT. \n\nnews of this inquisition, Emmet wrote a \nletter to tlie board desiring his name to \nbe withdrawn from the books of the \ncollege, which letter lie first showed his \nfather, and, having received his entire \napproval of the sentiments therein ex- \npressed, it was then forwarded. How- \never, the dons took no notice of this \ncommunication, and he was enrolled \namong the expelled students. \n\nWhatever the connection may have \nbeen between Emmet and the leaders of \nthe United Irishmen, anterior to the \ndiscovery and frustration of their plans, \nit is an incontrovertible fact that he \nwas well acquainted with their subse- \nquent movements, and occasionally \nplayed the part of messenger for them \nduring their imprisonment. \n\nWhen Thomas Addis was removed \nto Fort George, in 1800, Emmet em- \n\n\n\nAlSr IRISH Ki^riGHT. 35 \n\nbraced the opportunity to leave the \ncountry, being, as he subsequently had \nreason to believe, already under gov- \nernment supervision. It was about this \ntime that Dr. Emmet, overcome by the \nmisfortunes of his eldest surviving son, \nsank into the grave, leaving Robert at \nthat period of his existence when he \nmost required the counsels of age to \ntemj)er the untried ardor of his 3-outh. \n\nEmmet seems at first to have held \naloof from the little colony of United \nIrishmen then seeking refuge in Paris, \nand to have travelled in Switzerland, \nHolland, and the French provinces ; \nthere is even a repoi\'t, although not \nwell authenticated, that under the as- \nsumed name of Captain Brown, he vis- \nited Cadiz. \n\nAfter the banishment of the political \nprisoners, Emmet met his brother in \n\n\n\n36 AN IRISH KNIGHT. \n\nAmsterdam, from which city he posted \ndirect to Paris, there to become one of \nthat little coterie of disappointed pa- \ntriots, and to infuse the ardent hope- \nfulness of his own disposition into their \ndesolate existence. \n\nThomas Addis soon followed him, \nand also joined this party who, relying \nupon the false promises of that great- \nlittle man Napoleon, were formulating \nthe scheme of a second rising of " The \nUnited Irishmen." Bonaparte was, as \never, profuse in offers of assistance ; yet \neven while negotiating with the two \nEmmets, and making, or at least pre- \ntending to make, preparations for a de- \nscent upon the Irish coast, Mr. Gold- \nsmith tells us that the First Consul \nsubmitted proposals to the British Gov- \nernment, amounting virtually to a mut- \nual extradition treaty. With the ex- \n\n\n\nAN IRISH KNIGHT. 37 \n\nception of tlie United Irishmen, no \nother recusant Britisli subjects were in \nFrance; therefore, if we can accept \nGoldsmith\'s account, the perfidy of \nBonaparte is truly appalling. There \nis, nevertheless, a certain alchemy in \ntruth which makes it dangerous to use \ndeception with a man of perfect integ- \nrity, and Robert Emmet possessed this \nqualit^^ to an extraordinary degree.. In \nhis interview with Napoleon, he seems \nwith wonderful accuracy to have pene- \ntrated the motives of the First Consul, \nand to have determined just how far \nany reliance could be placed on the co- \noperation of French troops. " His," \nBonaparte\'s, " only object was to ag- \ngrandize France and damage England, \nand, so far as that object went, to wish \nwell to any effort in Ireland that might \nbe ancillary to the purpose." Of \n\n\n\n38 AN IRISH KNIGHT. \n\nTalleyrand lie held as unfavorable an \nopinion as of his master, although he \nbelieved the minister really did desire a \nrepublic to be established in Ireland, \nwhereas Bonaparte\'s hope was her an- \nnexation to Fi-ance, thereby closing \nEngland in a vice so powerful that her \ncommerce and liberties would soon fall \na prey to the Gallic army. This opin- \nion being shared by his brother, the \ntwo Emmets became the heads of what \nwas called the Anti-French party, \namong the exiles ; that is to say, they \nonly desired as much recognition from \nthe Republic as she had vouchsafed the \nAmerican colonies ; while the other \nparty proposed but to change masters, \nand for an Anglo-Saxon oppression \nsubstitute a Gallic tyranny. \n\nIt was about this time that the fa- \nmous conspiracy under Major Despard \n\n\n\nAN lEISH KNIGHT. 39 \n\nrose so prominently upon the horizon of \nEnglish politics. There is little doubt, \nfrom the accounts of the secret manipu- \nlations of the press, given us by Gold- \nsmith, but that Despard had the coun- \ntenance, if not the assistance of the \nFrench Government. Many indications \npoint to the fact that he was not, as \nwas generally believed at the fime, an \nassassin, whose only object was to kill \nKing George, but that, in reality, it \nwas an English radical insurrection \nwhich was so anxiously looked for by \nthe exiles in Paris. \n\nDuring all these two years of com- \nparative peace Emmet had been employ- \ning himself with the study of military \nscience. There can be nothing more \ntouching than the vision of this young \nknight preparing himself for " that \nweird battle in the West," where, like \n\n\n\n40 AlSr IRISH KNIGHT. \n\nArthur, lie was to fall fighting for his \npeople. Amid all the gayety and beauty \nof the French capital, that Athens of our \nmodern civilization, he seems to have \nlived a life apart, keeping his vigils \nover that armor of knowledge which he \nhoped to don in his day of trial. There \nare numerous books on tactics in exist- \nence which are interlined, annotated, \nand bracketed in his hand, with a care \nand discrimination only possible to a \nclose student. He seems to have given \nparticular attention to those portions \nbearing upon defensive warfare and the \nmodes of encampment and attack in a \nmountainous country. \n\nIn the month of October, 1802, he was \nsent by his colleagues in Paris to inves- \ntigate the proceedings of Major Des- \npard\'s Irish agent Dowdall. However, \nas the treaty of March 27th had set the \n\n\n\nAN lEISH KNIGHT. 41 \n\nlong rankling disputes of England and \nFrance at rest for a short time, there \nwas but little hope of a successful rebel- \nlion. \n\nArrived in Ireland, Emmet conversed \nv^ith several men of consequence, v^ho \nadvised him on no account to give up \nthe proposed agitation of Irish liber- \nty, proffering their ready assistance in \nfunds and service. Be it here observed, \nthat not one of those influential persons, \nwhose names were carefully concealed, \never rendered any of that longed-for aid \nwhich had been so lavishly promised. \nEmmet said of them : " There were \nmany who professed to serve a cause \nwith life and fortune, but, if called up- \non to redeem their pledge, would con- \ntrive to do it with the lives and for- \ntunes of others. For my part, my for- \ntune is now committed, the promises of \n\n\n\n42 AN lEISH KNIGHT. \n\nmany whose fortunes were considerable \nare committed likewise, but their means \nhave not been as yet forthcoming." \n\nUntil the following March, Emmet \nseems to have gone a good deal in- \nto general society, although closely \nwatched by the Government. He took \nup his abode at a country-place belong- \nino- to his father, and there constructed \na number of secret chambers and pas- \nsao^es, on which he no doubt relied to \nfind a safe asylum in time of danger. \n\nThe personal appearance and manner \nof Robert Emmet at this time, as it has \nbeen transmitted to us by those who \nknew and loved him, is about as fol- \nlows : Slenderly made, he yet possessed \ngreat symmetry of frame and grace of \nmotion, combined with almost inex- \nhaustible powers of endurance ; he was \nsmall in stature, being only five feet \n\n\n\nAlSr IRISH KNIGHT. 43 \n\neight inclies high ; of a dark complex- \nion, with black hair ; his eyes were not \nlarge, but singularly expressive. His \nforehead was well shaped, the brow \nbroad and high, his nose thin and \nstraight ; his manner in conversation was \nhabitually quiet, but cheerful, never \ntinged by either the braggadocio that \nmarks the coward or the recklessness of \nthe typical Irishman. Moore says, in one \nof his letters, " My poor friend Emmet \nwas as gentle as a girl." It was only \nwhen speaking on that subject which \nlay nearest his heart \xe2\x80\x94 the wrongs and \nsufferings of his beloved Ireland \xe2\x80\x94 that \nthe whole man seemed to become trans- \nfigured. His wonderful voice, which, \nwithout apparent effort, could fill a \ncrowded hall, or ring through the se- \ncluded dells where the society met, \nseemed to become the very spirit of the \n\n\n\n44 AE" IRISH Kl^IGHT. \n\nman and liis whole body but the instru- \nment on which it played. \n\nIt was about this period that he met \nSarah, youngest daughter of the barris- \nter John Curran. This beautiful and ac- \ncomplished young woman had the good \nfortune to call forth as true and pure \nan affection as ever warmed a manly \nbreast, and shared in future in Emmet\'s \nheart the throne his country had, until \nnow, wholly usurped. That these two \ndivinities could exist side by side in a \nsoul as mighty as his is evinced by the \nutterances recorded for us by one of \nthose who truly revered the noble qual- \nities of this young patriot. \n\nThe night before the rebellion, when \nencouraging a fellow-conspirator with \nwhose lady love Emmet was acquainted, \nhe said : " The stagnant veil of inglori- \nous ease is for those domestic, enamored \n\n\n\nAN- lEISH KNIGHT. 45 \n\nsouls wlio are content to pass their life \nin inactive worthlessness, and who wish \nto enjoy affection without having mer- \nited love. Mine is a higher ambition. \nI must make myself Avorthy of the wom- \nan of my choice. Heaven forbid that \nan excusable passion should thwart the \ndesign of my life, or cause me for an in- \nstant to neglect my country\'s good for \nthe purpose of promoting my own per- \nsonal advantage." Beneath the quaint \nand verbose style of the day is discern- \nible that nobleness of principle which \nanimated him through life. Well might \nhe have exclaimed with , Lovelace : \n\n"I could not love thee, dear, so much, \nLoved I not honor more." \n\nIt was in March of the year 1803 \nthat Emmet commenced his first ac- \ntive preparations. The rupture of the \n\n\n\n46 A\'N IRISH KNIGHT. \n\nTreaty of Amiens and the proposed in- \nvasion of Great Britain, on tlae Irish \ncoast, renewed the hopes of the patri- \nots. Thomas Addis having had sev- \neral audiences with Talleyrand and Bo- \nnaparte, and being now assured by \nthem that "the Army of England" \nshould leave the coast of Brittany in \nAugust, instructed his brother to begin \noperations for the collecting of arms \nand the organization of those counties \nwhere the cruelties of \'98 still rankled in \nthe remembrance of the people. They \nfelt sure the standard of rebellion need \nonly be raised to assemble an army \nlarge enough to form a considerable \nfactor in the French chance of a success- \nful invasion. Nor were these enthusi- \nastic men alone in their opinion ; from \nsome letters taken on board the Admi- \nral Alpin, and published in one of the \n\n\n\nAN IRISH KNIGHT. 47 \n\nParisian journals, we gather that all \nEngland dreaded the coming storm, and \nthat Irish dissatisfaction was also a \ncause of great apprehension to many \nworthy gentlemen whose official position \nnecessitated their being more or less ac- \nquainted with the real temper of the \nGovernment. Contemporaneous litera- \nture also is evidence that the constant \nfear of a descent upon the English \ncoast, or the landing of a French army \nin Ireland, caused a panic, the like of \nwhich had not been witnessed since the \nSpanish Armada. It was, therefore, not \nsuch a visionary plan . of Emmet\'s as \nhas been generally supposed, or if so, \nhe was, at least, kept in countenance \nby many brave and learned British \nsubjects ; and so Ireland, like Sisyphus, \nmade one more effort to roll the stone \nof English supremacy up the steep hill \n\n\n\n48 AN IRISH KNIGHT. \n\nof wealth and prejudice. Emmet\'s first \nstep was to establisli depots in different \nparts of Dublin for the manufacture \nand storage of munitions of war. In \nPatrick Street powder and rockets were \nmade; in another house hollow beams \nwere put together filled with combus- \ntibles, and the handles of those pointed \npikes w^ere constructed, on which Em- \nmet placed so much reliance; he calls \nthem, " the weapons of the brave." Of \nblunderbusses and pistols there seem \nto have been but few ; probably on \naccount of the difiiculty in procuring \nfunds. The depot in Marshalsea Lane \nwas immediately under Emmet\'s own \nsupervision, his chief officers being ap- \npointed to superintend the other manu- \nfactories. The workmen received no \nguerdon for their toil but food and \nlodging, sometimes only the latter ; they \n\n\n\nAlSr IRISH KNIGHT. 49 \n\nlabored exclusively for tlie love of Ire- \nland and tlieir leader, and although, \nthere were at least forty men in the \nemployment of the society, it is most \nremarkable that the Government was \nobliged to introduce paid spies to dis- \ncover their movements, \n\nEmmet was now boarding with a \nMrs. Palmer, of Harold\'s Cross, under \nthe assumed name of Hewitt ; but as the \nconspiracy took on grander proportions \nit was necessary for him to have a more \nsecluded place of residence. He there- \nfore took a house in Butterfield Lane, \nunder the title of Robert Ellis, where \nhe continued to reside, with several \nothers of his party, until the 16tli of \nJune. The manner of life pursued by \nthese daring young fellows has been \npreserved for us by Anne Devlin, the \n\nmaid-of-all-work who attended them. \n4 \n\n\n\n50 AN IRISH KNIGHT, \n\n" Tliey had/\' slie says, " little or no fur- \nniture, and slept on mattresses laid upon \nthe floor. They were always in good \nspirits, and Mr. Hamilton used often to \nsing ; he was a very good singer ; Mr. \nKobert used sometimes to hum a tune, \nthough he was no great singer, he was \nthe best and kindest-hearted of all the \npersons I ever knew. He was too good \nfor many of those who were about him." \nShe also entertained a high opinion of \nRussel, ranking him only second to \n"Mr. Robert." \n\nIt was here that Emmet harangued \nhis fellow -conspirators, and from here \nthat he made those excursions into the \nsurrounding hill-country to meet the \ndifferent bodies of United Irishmen, in \nlonely glens, where he conlirmed the \nvacillating, as, well as persuaded the op- \nposed. One of the society has left us a \n\n\n\nAN IRISH KNIGHT, 51 \n\nvivid description of the dim starlight \nshining upon the open hillside, the si- \nlent figures disappearing down the val- \nley, one by one, and the -sudden appari- \ntion of armed men starting up out of \nthe heather, as if by magic, when he \nreached the gorge\'s mouth. Once \nfairly inside, he was guided by the \nsweet tones of Emmet\'s voice, ringing \nthrough the darkness like a silver \ntrumpet, and firing every heart with \nits call to arms. He remarks that the \nchief characteristic of Emmet\'s oi\'atory \nwas the evident genuineness of the sen- \ntiments he expressed, and the care he \ntook to counsel moderation in victory, \nwhile he called u|}on the people to rise \nagainst oppression. \n\nMalichy presented a singular instance \nof the reverse side of Irish character ; \nhis orations all tended toward exciting \n\n\n\n52 AK IRISH KKIGHT, \n\ntlie worst passions of the peasantry. \nOn this occasion, seeins: a new face \namong tlie crowd, he suddenly cried, \n^\' A spy \xe2\x80\x94 a spy ! " A circle of avoid- \nance was immediately formed around \nthe astonished intruder, but Emmet, \nperceiving his position, walked up and, \ntaking his hand, said : ^\' I am sure there \nmust have been a mistake here. Mr. \n\nK is a young gentleman of liberal \n\nprinciples and high notions of honor. \nI am certain that he is incapable of be- \ntraying our secret, much less acting as a \nspy upon our proceedings." His con- \nfidence was not misplaced ; K be- \ncame one of his staunchest supporters. \n\nThe plan of the rebellion was great- \nly dependent upon the longed-for inva- \nsion of England ; Emmet\'s hope was to \nseize the Castle at Dublin, the Pigeon \nHouse at the mouth of the river, Isl- \n\n\n\nAN lEISH KNIGHT. 53 \n\nand Bridge, Cork Street and Mary- \nStreet Barracks, as well as tlie Custom- \nliouse ; the coal quay also was to be \nlield by the insurgents, as well as nu- \nmerous houses all through the town \nwhich were to serve as batteries cover- \ning iron chains, stretched across the \nstreet in the manner of a barricade. \nThese w^ere to prevent the massing of \nregular troops in any one place. \n\nEmmet himself was to have com- \nmanded the surprise of the Castle ; this \nfeat, which was rightly considered the \nkey to a successful revolt, was very \nperfectly organized on paper. Emmet \nand about eighteen other daring spirits, \nwere to enter the courtyard in coaches, \nas if on their way to a dinner-party. \nBeing once within, they proposed to \nthrow open the gates to the rebels, and \nat the same moment the insurgents \n\n\n\n54 AN IRISH KKIGHT. \n\nwere to swarm into the citadel from all \ni ! sides, by means of scaling ladders sus- \n\n; , pended from the windows of the sur- \n\nrounding houses. The bi\'idges were to \nbe covered with boards pierced by \nstrong iron spikes, to prevent cavalry \ncharging over them on the insurgents. \nLarge beams filled with combustibles \nwere to be distributed in different parts \nof the town, to be set on fire if needed. \n\nDwyer, an outlaw of \'98, whose story \nreads like one of Verne\'s wildest ro- \nmances, was pledged to make a demon- \nstration before the walls of the town in \none direction, while another body were \nto distract the attention of the troops \non the other side. In the meantime the \narsenals and garrisons having been \nseized, Dublin would be in the hands \nof the United Irishmen. Emmet had \nin his different depots at the time the \n\n\n\nAN" lEISH KNIGHT. 55 \n\nfollowing munitions of war : 45 lbs. of \ncannon powder, 11 boxes of fine pow- \nder, 100 hand grenades, 62,000 rounds \nof muskefc-ball cartridges, 3 bushels of \nmusket-balls, and a quantity of tow \nmixed with tar and other combustibles, \nas well as the beams before mentioned, \nskyrockets for signals, and 20,000 pikes. \n\nHe believed that his arrangements \nwere a profound secret, but the subse- \nquent disclosures of " Carotid-artery- \ncutting Castlereagh " prove that the \nGovernment was cognizant of them al- \nmost, if not quite, from the first. \n\nThe policy which allows men to rush \nblindly .on to destruction, that their \nblood may prove a safe cement for the \nfoundation of new tyrannies, is one \nwhich is abhorrent in the extreme to \nany right-minded person. That this \nhas been the usual mode of dealing \n\n\n\n56 AN lEISH KNIGHT. \n\nwith Irish rebellions since the time of \nElizabeth, is also an evident fact to \nthose who read, with unprejudiced eyes, \nthe history of Hibernian insurrections. \n\nBuoyed up by the hope of success, \nand undismayed by the prospect of de- \nfeat, the conspirators drifted gayly on \nthrough the early summer. The time \nof the outbreak was fixed for August, \nwhen Napoleon was expected to pro- \nvide ample work for the English sol- \ndiery on their own soil; but Fortune, \nwho seemed from the first to frown \nupon the attempt of Emmet, here also \nintervened to force them to an earlier \nissue. \n\nThe first general alarm that the citi- \nzens received was on July 14th, when, \nin honor of the birth of a French re- \npublic, bonfires were lighted in dif- \nferent parts of Dublin, and the most \n\n\n\nAN IRISH KNIGHT. 57 \n\ndecided hostility expressed toward the \nEnglisli government. This alone would \nnot have served to arouse the vigil- \nance of the authorities, had not an ex- \nplosion taken place in the depot at Pat- \nrick Street on the 16th, caused by the \ndrunken carelessness of a workman, \nwhich disclosed the existence of the \ndepots. The munitions of war were, \nhowever, so speedily removed that the \nofficer commissioned to search the prem- \nises, found nothing more suspicious than \nthe apparatus for making gun|)owder ; \nbut, unfortunately, in the hurry of \ndeparture a bag of flints had been \ndropped, which were picked up in the \nstreet and taken to the Castle, thereby \naffording conclusive evidence of mili- \ntary preparations being in progress. \n\nEmmet had then, for the first time, \nto meet the demon of dissension. His \n\n\n\n58 ATT IRISH KNIGHT. \n\nstaff, alarmed at the idea of premature \nmovement, wliicli now became the only \nchance of gaining their object, wished \nto draw back entirely ; he, however, re- \nfused to listen to the proposition, and \npartly by his eloquence, partly by the \nforce of his personality, overcame their \nobjections, and the day was fixed for \nJuly 23d. \n\nFrom the time of the explosion, Em- \nmet took up his abode in the Marshab \nsea depot, where, surrounded by the \nimplements of w^arfare, he wrote procla- \nmation after j^roclamation, and formu- \nlated a system of provisional govern- \nment for the interregnum following the \nrevolution. His indefatigable energy \nwas now displayed to the greatest ad- \nvantage. Inspecting the works, encour- \naging his assistants, attending to the \nprinting of his proclamations, and hold- \n\n\n\nAN" IRISH KNIGHT. 59 \n\ning constant councils with Dwyer and \nother partisan leaders, his time was en- \ntirely absorbed by the cause to w^hich \nhe truly said he had "sacrificed his life, \nhis fortune, and his love." \n\nIn the afternoon of the 23d the Gov- \nernment received certain intelligence \nof the rising contemplated for that \nevening. Emmet had, in the forenoon, \ndespatched an emissary to bring the \ncoaches to Marshalsea Lane, in which \nhe hoped to make an entrance into \nthe castle ; but the messenger, hav- \ning embroiled himself in a fight be- \ntween a soldier and a countryman, shot \nand killed Cornet Brown, and was \nobliged to il}^, leaving the coachmen \nwithout orders. Emmet at this time \nwas anxiously expecting their arrival. \nConfusion reigned supreme \xe2\x80\x94 dissensions \nin the councils and disorder in the \n\n\n\nGO AN IRISH KNIGHT. \n\ndepot. Since daylight there had been \na constant influx of undisciplined coun- \ntrynien. Anarchy was the spirit of \nthe day. The insurgents sat in the \ntavern of John Rouke, sin2:in2; and \ndrinking ; others filled the depot de- \nmanding weapons. "I was astonished," \nsays an eye-witness, " at the fortitude of \nEmmet and Malichy, who continued to \ngive orders and distribute arms." So \ngreat was the confusion that the quick \nand slow fuses became mixed. The \nflints were mislaid, and, owing to the \ndensity of the crowd, could not be \nfound. The leaders, who should have \nbeen with their men, were carousing at \nthe house of John Heavy, where, with \nbut few exceptions, they" remained even \nafter the firino; commenced. \n\nEminet was awaiting the appearance \nof the Kildare men, on whom he chiefly \n\n\n\nAN IRISH KNIGHT. 61 \n\nrelied to surprise tlie^ different arsenals ; \nbut these brave patriots, most of whom \nhad been " out " in \'98, were met by \nsome traitor, and told that the rebellion \nhad been postponed, so they returned \nhome, and with them went the hopes of \nIreland. \n\nDwyer got no news of the change \nof date, as the messenger who was to \nhave taken the intelligence did not \nleave the city. - The WicMow men \nmassed in Dublin to great numbers ; \nbut, receiving no orders, and not see- \ning the signal rocket, returned the way \nthey came. \n\nWhile things were in this state, and \nthe faculties of every man were strained \nto catch the approach of friend or foe, \nQuigley ran wildly into the dej)ot ex- \nclaiming, "We are lost! the army is \ncoming ! " " Then," said Emmet, " it \n\n\n\n62 AIT IRISH KNIGHT. \n\nis better to die fighting than cooped up \nhere." Seizing his sword he rushed \ninto the street, followed by about eighty \nmen. Although the alarm was false, \nwhen once fairly embarked upon the \ntide of revolution all retreat was cut \noff ; they marched on, therefore, toward \nthe castle, headed by their gallant lead* \ner. What was his horror when he \nheard that his followers, blinded by \ndrink and excitement, had set upon \nand murdered Lord Kilwarclen and his \nnephew, Di\\ Wolf, who were passing in \na coach. As soon as was practicable \nhe made his way to the spot, and found \nthat truly good man weltering in his \nblood, his half - distracted daughter \nstanding beside him. Be it here no- \nticed that Miss Kilwarden received no \ninsult or injury from an Irish mob, \neven when they were infuriated by \n\n\n\nAN IRISH KNIGHT, 63 \n\nblood and liquor. Emmet took the \npoor girl by the band, and led ber to \na place of safety, tben returned to bis \nmen ; but tbis momentary check to the \nimpetuous movement of the insurgents \ndestroyed the last chance of a success- \nful revolution. Finding that be was \nno longer able to restrain his men, and \nthat from the general of a patriot army, \nmarching with high hopes to victory, \nhe had degenerated into the leader of \na riotous mob, he was about to retire. \nNot so Malichy. "Fire the signal," \nsaid he to the man who held the rock- \net ; but Emmet insisted, on longer delay. \n"Let no more blood be shed than is \nnecessary," was his reiterated command. \nJust at that moment the troops came \ncharging down upon tliem, and Emmet, \ncrushing the fuse under his heel, gave \nthe word to disperse. The military \n\n\n\n84 AN IRISH KNIGHT, \n\ncommenced firing, and tlie insurgents \nfled in all directions, some seeking ref- \nuge on the housetops, where they lay \nconcealed behind chimneys and in gut- \nters, and others again down the dark \nstreets and narrow alleys. \n\nSo ended the Rebellion of July, born \nof a patriot\'s brain, nursed in a pa- \ntriot\'s heart, and baptized in patriot \nblood. \n\nOn the night of the 23d Anne Devlin \nwas aroused by knocking at the house in \nButterfield Lane. On callins^ out to \nknow who was at the door, Emmet an- \nswered her, " Oh ! bad welcome to you. \nIs the world lost by you ; cowards that \nyou are, to lead the people to destruc- \ntion and then leave them," she cried. \n"Do not blame me, the fault is not \nmine," said Emmet. She tells us that \nnone of them ever upbraided Qnigley, \n\n\n\nAN IRISH KNIGHT. 65 \n\naltliough this unliappy man was the \nreal cause of their difficulties. \n\nEmmet and his staff slept in Butter- \nfield Lane that night ; but early on Sun- \nday morning they went to the house of \nAnne\'s father, where they would certain- \nly have been taken had not the butler \nof Mr. Grierson sent word to Devlin to \nget them off as soon as possible, as their \nretreat had been discovered. He pro- \ncured horses for three of them, and un- \nder his guidance they all escaped into \nthe mountains, there to meet again, at \nthe last council held with Dvvyer, on the \nhillside. Not a moment too soon had \nthey fled. Major Sirr with a party of \nyeomanry seized their first hiding-place. \nFinding it empty they demanded of \nx\\.nne what she knew of the "Mr. El- \nlis " to whom it was leased. On her \nrefusal to answer this question she was \n\n5 \n\n\n\n66 AN lEISII KNIGHT. \n\npricked with bayonets by these gallant \nmilitia-men until the poor girl lay \nbathed in her own blood, still remain- \ning true to her master. She was then \nhalf hanged, but with a fortitude which \nshould be honorably remembered by \nall Irishmen, she bore these tortures, as \nwell as solitary confinement lasting two \nyears, the imprisonment and ruin of her \nfamily, and insults innumerable, with- \nout revealing any of Emmet\'s secrets. \n\nTo return to the fugitives. Dwyer \nand the other leaders held a council, in \nwhich the voice of the majority was \nstill for war ; but here again the unself- \nish patriotism of Emmet was evinced. \nIn vain did they persuade him that the \nwhole country was ripe for revolt. He \nhad seen but too plainly the hopeless- \nness of the effort, and discountenanced \nall proposals that would necessitate re- \n\n\n\nAN IRISH KNIGHT. 67 \n\nnewal of bloodshed. " For," said lie, \n" defeated in our first grand attempt all \nfurther endeavors must be futile. The \njustice of our cause must one day \ntriumph ; let us not indiscreetly pro- \ntract the period by any immature en- \ndeavors to accelerate it. No doubt I \ncould, in forty-eight hours wra];) the \nwhole kingdom in the flames of rebel- \nlion ; but as I have no ambition beyond \nthe good of my country, best study her \ninterests and the interests of freedom \nby declining to elevate my name ui^on \nthe ruin of thousands, and aiford our \ntyrants an apology to draw another \nchain around unhappy Ireland." " He \nspoke," says one who witnessed this last \nflicker of the dying rebellion, " in a sub- \ndued and feeling tone, and as he bade \nthem all farewell he appeared deeply \naffected." \n\n\n\n68 AN IRISH KNIGHT. \n\nOne by one the conspirators melted \naway into the night, and left Emmet \nalone with a few of his devoted friends. \nEvery man was now to look to his own \nsafety, but these insisted on sharing \ntheir general\'s peril until he should \nleave the country by one of those fish- \ning smacks lying off the coast whose \nowners would only too gladly convey \ntheir defeated chief to a place of safety. \n\nStrange seems to have been the infat- \nuation which possessed these doomed \nmen. They drifted from house to house \nin the vicinity of Dublin without any \napparent effort to escape, until Thurs- \nday the 28th, when they came very near \nbeing captured in the tavern at Bohern- \nbreena. Chilled by the heavy dews, for \nthey had spent the preceding night on \nthe hill-side, they called at William \nKearney\'s house to get refreshment, and, \n\n\n\nAN IRISH KNIGHT. 69 \n\nwhile still at breakfast, Constable Rob- \ninson came unsuspiciously into the inn ; \nhowever, his approach had been seen, \nand the fugitives were already hidden \nin a kind of cockloft reached by a nar- \nrow staircase. At about eleven o\'clock \none of the staff, who was looking out of \nthe little skylight, their only w^indow, \nperceived a party of live hundred men \napproaching, commanded by Mr. de la \nTouche. The alarm was immediately \ngiven. Kearney, who was a quick-wit- \nted fellow, throwing some baskets of \nturf on the stairway, prepared to re- \nceive the militiamen. Robert Shaw, as \nsecond officer, demanded to know who \nwas within. The tavern keeper replied, \n"No one, sir; the house is not large \nand you can easily see through it." \nObserving the means of access to the \nloft, he inquired if there was anyone \n\n\n\n70 AN lEISH KNIGHT. \n\nabove stairs. Kearney answered, witli \ngreat sangfroid, that there was not. \n" We use the place," said he, " for \nlight lumber ; it is not able to bear \nanything heavy on it." All this time \nDevlin lay crouching above, his blun- \nderbuss covering the approach to their \nhiding-place, and had Shaw attempted \nthe ascent, his life would have surely \nbeen the forfeit. Not satisfied with \nthe landlord\'s answer, he put his foot \non the first step, when Mrs. Kearney \ngently detained him, saying, " Oh, sir, \nif you go up there you w411 fall through \nand be killed." Shaw seems not to \nhave been deaf to this appeal, and with- \ndrew. \n\nThat evening this little band of \nbrave spirits parted company, to meet \nno more. Neil O\'Dwyer begged his \nchief to go with him into Wicklow, \n\n\n\nAN lEISH KNTGHT. 71 \n\nwhere he could easily hide until a \nchance of escape should present itself ; \nbut Emmet, although urged by his \nstaff to accept this offer, steadily re- \nfused, saying, " No, 1 would not for \nany consideration go near Dwyer after \nour defeat. " That nio;ht he made his \nway back to Dublin, having determined \nto seek one more interview with Sarah \nCurran before leaving his native land \nforever. For that interview he threw \nhis life into the balance, and lost it. \nOn reaching the city he again went \nto Mrs. Palmer\'s, under the name of \nHewitt, from whence he addressed sev- \neral letters to Miss Curran ; but his \nhopes of gaining speech with her were \nfi\'ustrated by his sudden capture. \n\nOn the evening of August 25th, \nMajor Sirr I\'ang the door-bell, and, \nrushing past Mrs, Palmer\'s little girl. \n\n\n\n72 AN IRISH KNIGHT. \n\nwho answered it, entered the back \nparlor where Emmet was sitting and \nplaced him under arrest. Then dis- \nmissing the mother and child, and \nhaving set his orderly to guard the \nprisoner, he questioned them- separately \nas to their lodger\'s name and the \nlength of time he had resided with \nthem. Their accounts being materially \ndifferent from that given by Emmet, \nhe returned to the room where he had \nleft his prisoner, to find him covered \nwith blood from a blow levelled at \nhim by the guard while attempting to \nescape. Sirr then lost no time in call- \ning an escort from Canal Bridge to \nconduct Emmet to the castle, where he \nwas identified by one of his old col- \nlege enemies, the Provost of Trinity. \nEmmet made one more effort for lib- \nerty and life ; but Sirr, overtaking him, \n\n\n\nAN IRISH KNIGHT. 73 \n\nfrustrated liis object. When Emmet \nsaw that escape was impossible, he sur- \nrendered. Sirr made some sort of \napology for the rough treatment giv-en \nhim ; but with that sweet temper which \nnever deserted him, the patriot an- \nswered that it was " all fair in war." \n\nHe was committed to Kilmainham \nJail to await his ti-ial, and received \nbetter usage than was common toward \nthe political prisoners who were unfor- \ntunate enough to come under the care \nof Dr. Trevor. \n\nMason, Emmet\'s cousin, who occu- \npied the next cell to his, and whose \nchief crime seems to have been his \nrelationship to the unsuccessful con- \nspirator, concocted a plan of escape for \nKobert ; but, unfortunately, George \nDunn, the keeper, on whom depended \ntheir schemes, was a man whose very \n\n\n\n74 AN IRISH KNIGHT. \n\nname pollutes the pages of history. \nAfter receiving the bribes of these \nhelpless men, and having deluded them \nwith the hope of escape, he informed \nJohn Dunn, the prison governoi\', of \ntheir intentions, and also handed him a \nletter to Miss Curran which Emmet \nhad pledged him by all things holy to \ndeliver safely into her own keeping. \nThe encouragement policy was again \nadopted and Emmet, " all unknowing," \ncarried on constant communications \nwith Mason, which were duly inspected \nby the prison authorities. Dr. Trevor \nalso stationed a man in the room above \nthe cells occupied by the j^olitical \nprisoners, who, having bored Jioles \nthrough the floor, watched their move- \nments, and overheard their conversations \nthrough this modern ear of Dionysus. \nEmmet requested Curran to defend \n\n\n\nAN" IRISH KNIGHT. 75 \n\nliim at his trial, but was refused in \nrather harsh terms, if we are to judge \nby the piisoner\'s gently remonstrant \nletter in which he tells with directness \nand simplicity the story of his unhappy \nlove. \n\nOn hearing that his note to Sarah \nwas in the hands of the Government, \nEmmet was desperate. He otfei\'ed to \ntell all he knew of the conspiracy, \nsaving the names of the participants, \nprovided only that the letter was \nsuppressed. Again, he promised to \noffer no defence and call no witness \nat his trial. Lastly, knowing how anx- \nious his enemies were that he should \nnot speak to the people from the \nscaffold, he promised to die silently. \nThis last sacrifice propitiated the castle \nauthorities, and the letter, for which \npoor Sarah Currau would no doubt \n\n\n\n76 AN lEISH KNIGHT. \n\nhave given years of her life, was al- \nlowed to drift down the tide of forgot- \nten State documents. \n\nShortly before his trial one of the \nkeepers, coming suddenly in upon him \nand seeing a peculiar expression on his \nface, made an apology for intruding. \n*\' No,\'\' said Emmefc ; " you see I am in- \nnocently employed." Pointing to a fork \ndriven into the table to which he had \nattached a lock of hair, he added, " This \nlittle tress has long been dear to me ; I \nam plaiting it to wear at my trial." It \nis needless to say the hair was hers for \nlove of whom he had imperilled his life. \n\nSo great was his gentleness and so \nmagnetic his personality, that even in \nthese humiliating circumstances he man- \nao-ed to win the affections of the turn- \nkey of his ward and command the es- \nteem of the prison governor. \n\n\n\nAN IRISH KNIGHT. 77 \n\nOn Monday, September 19, 1803, \nRobert Emmet was brought for trial \nbefore a special commission, consisting \nof Lord Norbury, George, and Daley. \nThe court assig-ned as counsel for him \nMessrs. Ball, Burrows and McNally \xe2\x80\x94 \nO\'Grady and thrice-perjured Plunket \nacting for the Crown. \n\nEmmet was dressed in black, with \nthe exception of his white shorts and \nsilk stockings \xe2\x80\x94 it was afterward dis- \ncovered that the little braid of Sarah \nCurran\'s hair was folded inside his \n.stock. Thus did he march to hear the \nsentence of death, armed with a con- \nscience void of oifence, and comforted \nonly by the memory of his love. \n\nThe witnesses for the Crown |)roved \nbeyond doubt his participation in the \nrebellion, but, as he had promised, he \nmade no effort at defence. However, \n\n\n\n78 AN IRISH KNIGHT. \n\nwlien Plimket rose to reply, his coun- \nsel pleaded tliat as there was no tes- \ntimony called in behalf of the prisoner, \nthere was no occasion for further prose- \ncution. But Plinihet v/ould not avail \nof this permission to throw silence like \na cloak over the many-colored vesture \nof his own politics. This facile gentle- \nman, who but a iew years ago had de- \nclaimed in flowing phrases, to the ad- \nvocates of the Union, that he would \ndefend it with the last drop of his \nblood, and " when he felt the hour of \nhis dissolution approaching" he, like \nHannibal, would take his children to \nthe altar and swear them to eternal \nhostility against the invaders of his \ncountry\'s freedom \xe2\x80\x94 now, when the \nhope of Ireland\'s emancipation seemed \nflown forever, stretched the furthest \nlimits of the court to heap vituperative \n\n\n\nAT\xc2\xabr IRISH KNIGHT. 7^ \n\nepithets on the head of him who had \nbut embraced the doctrines Pliinket \nhad advocated. Silence now fell upon \nthe vast assembly. Every eye turned \neagerly toward the juiy, who, without \nleaving the box, rendered the verdict of \n\'\' Guilty." Then rose such a yell of \nconcentrated fury from the crowd that \nit shook the judge upon the bench; so \nterrible that the foreman, turning pale, \nsought military protection. \n\nAmid the oppressive silence which \nensued. Lord Norbury read the death- \nwarrant, ending with the formal ques- \ntion, " What have you to say why sen- \ntence of death and execution should not \nbe awarded against you ? " Then, like \nthe lightning from some dark cloud, \nflashed Emmet\'s eye, and like an im- \npetuous torrent bearing all before it \nrolled on the flood of his irresistible \n\n\n\n80 AN lEISH KNIGHT. \n\neloquence. Then did he vindicate his \nstainless honor in that oration deliv- \nered, " To time and to eternity, and not \nto man." We have no perfect record \nof this wonderful defence ; but, like \nthe stray diamonds of a broken neck- \nlet, here and there his words, garnered \nin the loving hearts of his countrymen, \ncome flashing out to give us an ap- \nproximate idea of the j)erfect beauty of \nthe whole. \n\nIt was ten o\'clock at night when, \nthrough the silent streets of Dublin, \npassed the military escort, bearing witK \nthem a condemned prisoner toward \nNewgate. Emmet was here delivered \nover to the tender mercies of Gri gg. \nThis worthy emissary of the castle- \ngovernment placed the unhappy patriot \nin a condemned cell and loaded his \nexhausted frame with irons. But not \n\n\n\nAT^ IRISH KNIGHT. 81 \n\nyet was the necessary rest and quiet \nvouchsafed him. At midnight came a \ndetachment of soldiers with a warrant \n" to remove the traitor, Robert Emmet, \nto his old quarters at Kilmainham." \n\nOff again they marched through the \nstarlight and the silence of the sleep- \ning city. It was supposed that the \nGovernment had received some intima- \ntion of a projected rescue, and that it \nwas on this account that the last \nhours of the condemned man were so \nruthlessly intruded upon. \n\nWhen the party reached the jail the \nprisoner\'s ankles were severely lacerated \nby the fetters ; yet, though weakened by \nloss of blood, overcome by the fatigues \nof the previous day and the want of \nfood, his uncomplaining fortitude seems \nto have touched even the heart of a \nprison official. With tears in his eyes \n\n\n\n82 AN IRISH KNIGHT. \n\nGeoi\'ge Dunn ordered Emmet\'s chains \nremoved and refreshment to be pro- \nvided for him. \n\nAs he passed the cell of one of his \nfellow-conspirators, stepping close to \nthe grating he whispered, " I am to be \nhanged to-morrow," and then went quiet- \nly by, so great was his self-control. He \nspent the remainder of the night in writ- \ning. To his brother, Thomas Addis, he \nsent a detailed account of the proposed \nplan of attack and defence. To the two \nCurrans he also wrote letters, and, al- \nthough addressed to Richard, one of \nthese communications was evidently in- \ntended foi\' the perusal of his unhappy \nladylove. In it he says : " I intended as \nmuch happiness for Sarah as the most \nardent love could have given. I never \ndid tell you how much I idolized her ; " \nand again : \'\' My love, Sarah, I did hope \n\n\n\nAlSr IRISH KNIGHT. 83 \n\nto be a prop round which your afEections \nmio;ht have cluno^, and which woukl \nnever have been shaken ; but a rude \nblast has snapped it, and they have \nfallen over a grave." Nor did he allow \npersonal considerations to monopolize \nhis attention, even in the face of death. \nKnowing that all Ireland listened breath- \nless, that she might catch every ^vord \ndropped by the departing hero, he took \noccasion to write that noble praise of \nthe governmental clemency which the \nconstant interruptions of tlie judge had \nprevented his delivering in court. \n\nThe spectacle of such magnanimity \nshining amidst the gathering shadows of \nannihilation is as beautiful as it is rare. \n\nThe prison minister was with him \nwhen McNally ari\'ived, bringing the \nnews of Mrs. Emmet\'s death. This high- \nminded and true-hearted woman, who, \n\n\n\n84 AlSr IRISH KNiGHT. \n\nlike Rebecca, staked all her kopes upon \nlier youngest son, could not survive Ms \ntrial, Slie expired during tlie night. \nEmmet, knowing of he]\' illness, and \nprobably alarmed by McNally\'s face, \nimmediately questioned him about his \nmother. His counsel then told him \nof his calamity, as gently as possible. \nFor a few moments he stood silently \nstruggling to suppress his emotion, then \nsaying, " It is better so," turned resign- \nedly away to prepare his soul for \neternity. A sincere Christian, Emmet \nexperienced no fear of death ; boi-ne up \nby the consciousness of his own integrity \nof purpose, and the woi-thiness of the \ncause for which he suffered, he com- \npletely ignored the disgrace and obloquy \nattendant on the scaiiokL So perfectly \nhad he overcome any feeling of this kind \nthat, a few hours before his young life \n\n\n\nAN" lEISH KNIGHT. 85 \n\nwas quenclied forever, he sketched upon \nthe table of his cell a head severed from \nthe trunk and surrounded by all the par- \naphernalia of an execution. The face, \nit is said, was an excellent likeness of \nhimself. \n\nAt about one o\'clock they came to \nlead him forth ; he received the summons \nwith that fortitude which, indeed, never \ndeserted him. " I have," he said, " two \nrequests ; the first, that my arms may be \nleft as loose as possible. I make the \nother, not under any idea that it will be \ngranted, but that it may ])e held in re- \nmembrance that I have made it. It is, \nthat I may be permitted to die ia my \nuniform." The first of these favors \nwas humanely accorded him ; the second, \nas he divined, was refused. He bade \ngood-by with much kindness to those \naround him, especially to the turnkey \n\n\n\n86 AN IRISH KNIGHT. \n\nVlio had particularly attended to him. \nThis poor fellow had in those few days \nlearned to love his noble charge, and the \ntears were streamino^ down his ruo^o;"ed \nface. Emmet\'s hands being tied, lean- \ning over, he gently kissed him on the \nforehead. Now they passed out into the \nopen street. Along their way men and \nwomen stood watcliing for a last look \nof him who was to die because he loved \nhis Ireland too well to brook the de- \nstruction of her liberties. At the win- \ndows of all tlie houses anxious faces \nj)eered out to catch the first sign of his \napproach. \n\nIt was no hollow mourning, such as \nfollows a king when, bereft of crown \nand sceptre, he is borne in state to rest \nin the grave of his ancestors. This con- \ndemned criminal had placed upon his \nyoung brow the better diadem of a \n\n\n\nAN IRISH KNIGHT. bi \n\npeople\'s love, and every Irislimaii felt \nthe sharp blow that severed him from \nlife as though that life, so precious to \nthem all, were indeed interwoven with \ntheir very heartstrings. \n\nGuarded by a strong military escort \nhe passed to the place of execution, and, \nas the carriage moved on, ever and anon \nwould he nod to some acquaintance in \nthe street or at the windows. Love met \nhim in every eye; blessings followed him \nfrom every heart. Thus the coi\'tege bore \nmore resemblance to the obsequies of a \nhero than the exit of a condemned crim- \ninal. At one place on the route they \npassed a carriage with but a single oc- \ncupant. As he iieared the spot Emmet \nput his head out of the window and mo- \ntioned with his poor, bound hand. The \nyoung woman in the vehicle stood up a \nmoment to wave her handkerchief, then \n\n\n\n05 AN IRISH KlSriGHT. \n\nsinking back slie covered lier face, over- \ncome with emotion. Emmet continued \nto gaze after lier as long as slie remained \nin sio^lit. This was his last meetins: on \nearth with Sarah Curran ; Ijut their sep- \naration was not for lona;. Bowed down \nby a load of grief, too heavy for her \nslight frame, she died of a broken \nheart, in scarcely more than a year \xe2\x80\x94 \nfollowing him she loved so well to that \nbourn from whence no traveller has re- \nturned. The patriot\'s dauntless cour- \nage never faltered. He ascended the \nscaffold v/ith a firm step, and, turning to \nthose around him, said : " My friends, \nI die in peace, and with sentiments of \nuniversal love and kindness to all men." \n"Irish soil drank the blood of her \nloving son, but it still cries from the \nground, pleading for the liberty to se- \ncure which he sacrificed his life." \n\n\n\nAiSr lEISH KNIGHT. 89 \n\nIn tlie deserted churchyard of St. \nMichins there is a slal) on which no \nname is traced. Beneath this stone rest \nthe aslies of E.obert Emmet. \' How long, \noh, Ireland, how long will it remain \nwithout an epitaph ! \n\nThus died Ireland\'s true knight, sink- \ning into tlie grave clothed in all tlie \nbright promise of his youth ; never to \nput on the sad livery of age ; never to \nfeel the hopelessness of those who live \nto see the principles for which they \nsuffered trampled and forgotten by the \nonward march of new interests and new \nmen. Perhaps Freedom, like some deity \nof ancient Greece, loved him too well to \nlet the " slurs and contumely of outra- \ngeous fortune" dun the bright lustre of \nhis virgin fame. Was it that in every \nrevolution there must be some sacrifice \nto fill the ravenous jaws of watchful \n\n\n\n90 AN IRISH KNIGHT. \n\ntyranny e\'er the new libei\'ated people \ncan raarcli forward to the fruition of \ntheir hopes ? Or is it that the graves \nof those who fall, like I\'oad-side crosses, \npoint new generations on the road to \nfreedom ? \n\n\'\' Man dies, but his memory lives," \nand the name of Emmet shall ever \nawaken an answering thrill in Irish \nbreasts as long as the shami\'ock grows \ngreen on the hills of Tara, and as long \nas the sea moans among the rocks of \nConnaught. \n\nMan dies, but the principles which \nanimated him are in their very essence \nimmortal ; like the phoenix, they sink in- \nto their ashes only to rise again, doub- \nly resplendent, upon the wings of hope. \n\nIreland stands now with outstretclied \nhands eagerly waiting the advent of her \nfreedom. Now has she climbed with \n\n\n\nAN IRISH KNIGHT. 91 \n\ntireless feet the rugged path which alone \nleads to Liberty\'s demesne.
