Due de,fcl£r, entered the French military service
in 1781, and, by the time he was twenty-seven
years ol‘age, he had risen to the rank of lieu-
tenant-colonel, chieﬂy by the patronage of the
duke ofOrleans. In 1793 he was made general;
and, in 1795, was sent on a secret mission to
Vienna, and to the seat of war in Italy, for the
purpose of watching the ambitious movements
of Napoleon I. In a short time, however, he
was fascinated by the rising star of that great
man, entered his service, and, throughout his
varying fortunes, continued with him till his
fall. In 1807 he was made Minister of War, an
oﬂice which he retained, through much ill-will
and clamour, till 1814-. in 1809 he was made
duke of Feltre. After the fall of the emperor,
he served Louis XVIII.; but his merits, how-
ever appreciated by the sovereign, were nou
proof against the continual alt: ‘ks of other
courtiers, and he was sent into a kind of honour-
able exile at Rouen, with the command of the
3rd division. B. at Landreeies, 17 D. at;
