Back to “Voltaire” and his relations to the jacobites of James II *1688 Part1
According to Voltaire foundation article “Voltaire and the Jacobites”, of 20 March 2017 :
Voltaire was much better disposed towards the Scots Jacobites, as shown in the description of the ’45 rebellion included in his Précis du Siècle de Louis XV. In the course of that famous uprising, Voltaire had gone so far as to write a manifesto for Bonnie Prince Charlie (grandson of the deposed James II),He later befriended the Scottish Jacobite exile Field Marshall Keith, whose eulogy he wrote in 1758. He was less positive towards the Chevalier Andrew Michael Ramsay, a Scots convert to Catholicism and follower of Fénelon who once tutored Prince Charles Edward Stuart (‘Bonnie Prince Charlie’). Voltaire sniffed at Ramsay as a plagiarist.Voltaire never dismissed Jacobitism as backward or despotic. His positive attitude may have been shaped by his early friendships with Viscount Bolingbroke, an exiled Tory minister who was attracted to Jacobitism at various phases of his long career, and bishop Atterbury of Rochester. Bolingbroke welcomed Voltaire to his house at La Source near Orléans in December 1722. The Viscount admired the young French poet, but warned him to restrain the influence of his imagination. Bolingbroke also consulted Alexander Pope*1688 on the merits of Voltaire’s pirated epic, La Ligue, the first version of La Henriade. The image of King Henry IV of France presented in that poem may have appealed to Bolingbroke, who had tried in vain to persuade the Stuart claimant, James III, to change his religion in order to gain a throne.
Indeed, while Voltaire did correspond (some 20000-40000 letters) with most of Jacobilte leaders and other European celebrities of his time , Mystery 1 HE NEVER CORRESPONDED with James II the old pretender and his close contemporaries such as, for instance. Frederic William I of Prussia I*1688), even if he did have a very long correspondence with his son,. Frederick the Great. He also received Nov. 12, 1770 a letter from Frederic William II, grand son of Frederick William I, wanting to get to know him better . He propably did not answer it as he was at the time busy with Jakob Jonas Björnståhl (January 23, 1731 in Rotarbo – July 11, 1779 in Thessaloniki), orientalist,Greek philologis and a manuscript collector (minuscule 901, minuscule 902,
Voltaire also corresponded with George Keith, tenth and last Earl Marischal, a close associate of the old pretender King James . as follows:
In December, 1756, George Keith, Earl Marischal of Scotland (whom Voltaire had met in Prussia), arrived at Les Délices to plead with the man who was fast becoming Humanitarian-in-Chief of Europe to defend Admiral Byng--now arraigned on a charge of treason and cowardice. Voltaire wrote to his friend Richelieu, who replied in the first of the following letters, vindicating the character and conduct of his foe. Voltaire sent a copy of this letter to Byng with his own. He had met the Admiral many years before in England, but judged it better not to mention the acquaintance. The third letter--Voltaire to Richelieu--shows the fruitlessness of their efforts. Notwithstanding the recommandation to mercy, Byng was shot on March 14, 1757, and his defender, the author of Candide, added to it an immortel phrase, "In this country (England) it is as well to put an admiral to death now and then, to encourage the others." ]

Richelieu was at his highs at the time having done his at best the siege of Fort St Philip, also known as the siege of Minorca, 20 April to 29 June 1756 during the Seven Years' War. Its capture by France threatened the British naval position in the Western Mediterranean and it was returned after the Treaty of Paris (1763).
Thus the next Mysteries arise
Mystery 2 Why did the old Pretendeer, alive at the time, did not support Admiral Byng?
Mystery 3. Why the Byng case is not mentioned in George Keith’s Wikipedia biography?
Mystery 4. Why did Charles Edward , the young pretender aka Gioachino Cocchi, did not help Byng? He had the time to do it, between Emira, dramma per musica da rappresentarsi nel Regio-Ducal Teatro di Milano, nel Carnovale dell'anno 1756. Dedicato a sua altezza serenissima il Duca di Modena, and his next Farsetta in musica (Angelo Lunghi? - Bologna, Teatro Marsigli-Rossi, 1757)

To close with another nr 5 topic with Voltaire in his death bed in Paris Hotel Villette , May 26 1778, seeking absolvance for his failure to save the life of Thomas Arthur, comte de Lally “ a staunch Jacobite who in 1745 accompanied Charles Edward Stuart (Prince Regent, or Bonnie Prince Charlie aka Gioachino Cocchi) to Scotland, serving as aide-de-camp at the battle of Falkirk (January 1746). Escaping to France, he served with Marshal Saxe in the Low Countries, and at the capture of Maastricht (1748) was made a maréchal de camp. see https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/G%C3%A...ally-Tollendal
https://www.whitman.edu/VSA/letters/5.26.1778.html
"On May 26th, the judicial murder committed by Pasquier (Councillor to the Parliament) upon the person of Lally was avenged by the Council of the King." Louis XVI in council publicly vindicated General Lally.
By a last mighty effort, the dying man recalled the splendid intellect, now waning fast, which had so nobly served him, and dictated the following letter to the Comte de Lally-Tollendal”(son of Thomas Arthur” . Then he made someone write in a large hand on a sheet of paper, which he caused to be pinned to his bed hangings, the following words:
It was his last conscious act. He died four days later, on May 30, 1778. There have been few men with whom the ruling passion of hatred of tyranny, oppression, injustice, has been so strong in death: and better men, who, in their last hours have found it impossible to think of any soul but their own. ]
The text of Voltaire's letter runs only two lines.
May 26, 1778. The dying man returns to life on hearing this great news: he tenderly embraces M. de Lally: he sees that the King is the defender of justice: and he dies content
