FOOTNOTES:
[7] The second battalion of the Irish foot guards came to England at the Revolution, in 1688, and was disbanded by the Prince of Orange: the first battalion remained in Ireland until the treaty of Limerick, in 1691, when it followed King James to France, and was for many years in the service of Louis XIV. and his successsors.
[8] The regiment of horse was disbanded after the treaty of Ryswick, in 1697.
The two regiments of dragoons were retained on the establishment of the army, and were subsequently numbered as—
The V. Royal Irish Dragoons, and
The VI., or the Inniskilling Dragoons.
The three regiments of foot were consolidated into one, which is now the Twenty-seventh, or the Inniskilling regiment of foot.
The Londonderry regiments were disbanded.

It is said, that Colonel Harvey, upon coming up to the troops, and being saluted in a haughty manner by Frischer, drew his sword and killed him on the spot.'—Dublin Gazette.
