daughter of the third Earl Bathurst.
[185] John Bernard Trotter (1775–1818), who accompanied Fox to assist
him in transcribing certain material for his _History of the Reign of
James II._ He became his private secretary in 1806, and published
_Memoirs_ of the later years of his chief’s life in 1811,
including an account of this visit to Paris.
[186] Washington George Louis, Marquis de la Fayette (1779–1849),
Washington’s godson, and a French deputy. La Fayette’s son-in-law, De
Lasteyrie, had finally to leave the army on account of the treatment he
received.
[187] Antoine François, Count Andréossy (1761–1828), grandson of the
maker of the Languedoc Canal. He was appointed Ambassador to England
early in 1802, but left upon the recommencement of war. He was
successively Ambassador at Vienna (1809), and at Constantinople (1812).
[188] Charles Ambroise de Caffarelli (1758–1826), born at Falga.
Originally a priest, he left the Church on the outbreak of the
Revolution, and after suffering imprisonment held several posts under
Napoleon. After the Restoration he again took up his ecclesiastical
duties. His brother, Louis, was a distinguished general, and had
already lost a leg when he joined the Egyptian expedition.
[189] Cyrus-Marie de Timburne-Timbronne, Comte de Valence (1757–1822).
He served under Dumouriez, but did not desert the French cause for the
Austrian. He sent in his resignation, however, shortly after, and came
to England. He returned to France after 18 Brumaire, and commanded a
division in Spain and Russia. He married a daughter of Madame de Genlis.
[190] Amédée-Bretagne-Malo de Durfort, Duc de Duras (1771–1838). He was
attached to the suite of Louis XVIII. when in exile, but returned to
France during the Consulate. He married Claire de Kersaint (1779–1828),
the well-known writer and friend of Chateaubriand.
[191] Trophime Gérard, Comte de Lally-Tollendal (1751–1830), the
legitimate son of Lally, of Indian fame, and Félicité Crafton. At
the outbreak of the Revolution he sided with the Third Estate, but
disgusted with excesses he went over to the Court party and was obliged
to fly to England. He returned to France after 18 Brumaire, and was
made a peer by Louis XVIII.
[192] Adélaïde Marie Filleul (1761–1836). She married the Comte de
Flahaut, who was more than three times her age, when eighteen. She went
abroad at the commencement of the Revolution, and after the Count’s
death on the scaffold, supported herself and her son by her pen. She
returned to France in 1798, and married, in 1802, the Portuguese
Minister in Paris, the Marquis de Souza-Botelho. Her novels are well
known, among the most celebrated being _Adèle de Sénanges_ and
_Emilie et Alphonse_.
