[2] A. F. iv. 1490–1563. References not otherwise indicated relate to the French Archives.

[3] Jefferson also placed his daughter there.

[4] This was granted in 1800 to John Cleaver Banks in order to examine manuscripts in the National Library.

[5] Camelford, in 1802, sold the borough for £42,000 to Dupré Porcher.

[6] _Times_, March 3, 1801.

[7] In January 1793, quitting his wife, he followed to Paris Aimé de Coigny, Duchess de Fleury, of whom he had become the paramour at Rome, and who had gone to London for her accouchement. Being arrested, he applied to her previous lover Lauzun to procure his release, but was liberated without any necessity of mediation and returned to London.

[8] Pitt was inclined in 1797 to entertain the overture, but the French _coup d’état_ put an end to negotiations. See _Fortescue Papers_, iii. pp. 356–357. The French authorities ordered Melville’s arrest, but he apparently fled in time, and coolly revisited Paris in 1802.

[9] The Jacobins were scandalised at the pomp with which he entered Paris, where the market-women waited on him to make and receive presents.

[10] Talbot, when acting at Berne in Wickham’s absence in 1797, advanced money to French conspirators for a scheme of massacring the members of the Directory at the Luxembourg, and he applied to his Government for further funds for that purpose; but Grenville and Canning refused to countenance the scheme and directed him to get back the money (Martel, _Historiens Fantaisistes_). Though thus rebuked Talbot was not dismissed.

[11] J. F. Neville, _Leisure Moments_.

[12] Detected in 1802 he was hanged for the murder of Sergeant Armstrong at Goree in 1782.

[13] This was a saving of expense, for Napoleon had refused to pay the £2,000,000 demanded for their maintenance.

[14] It is pleasant to think that Lauriston, Macdonald, and Clarke, three men of British extraction, were among the few French generals who on Napoleon’s return from Elba remained faithful to the Bourbons.

[15] M.P. for Eye in 1820.

[16] The suit of carriages for the use of Marquis Cornwallis in France consists of a town coach, the body yellow, with arms, supporters, crests, and the Order of the Garter, surrounded with mantles, all highly emblazoned. The lining morocco with rich silk lace, and reclining cushions of silk and morocco. The carriage crane-neck; the hammer-cloth a bear-skin ornamented with silver paws. A town chariot painted to correspond, with arms, supporters, crests, and the Garter, but no mantles; crane-neck. A travelling coach, painted the same; crane-neck with imperials, etc. Harness has been made for twelve horses ornamented with silver in coronets, crests, and the Garter, with reins, tassels, and toppings, decorated with silk button-hangers.--_Times._

[17] The termination of the Congress at Amiens was an object of the deepest regret to the Prefects and officers, civil as well as military. The establishment of each ambassador had its particular merit. That of Marquis Cornwallis was distinguished for the magnificence of his liveries, and the splendour of his table and equipage. On all his grand dinners, his Lordship had twelve servants in rich liveries, besides six _Valets-de-Chambre_ also in a kind of scarlet uniform.

But in regard to the luxuries of the table, and the choice of his wines, citizen Schimmelpenninck, the Batavian plenipotentiary, outdid all other competition. He had his turbot and eels from Holland, pike and perch from the Rhine; and the heaths and woods of Provence supplied him with game. No wonder that the absence of such a man should be lamented by the _Mayor and Common Council_ of that city.--_Times_, April 2, 1802.

[18] The Warrens and the Jacksons were kinsmen, for in 1796 a Rev. Dawson Warren had married Caroline Jackson.

[19] Despatches, Record Office.

[20] In 1809 he was appointed minister at Washington.

[21] He died from a hunting accident in 1815.

[22] Afterwards minister to the Argentine Republic.

[23] Son of Lord Pierrepont (created Earl Manvers in 1806).

[24] The embassy apparently required a Frenchman to translate or correct its letters to Talleyrand, for in 1804 François Soulès, who had lived twelve years in England and had translated English works, applied for the Legion of Honour on the ground that he had not only helped to capture the Bastille, but had been employed by Whitworth.

[27] The return coach left Paris at 6 A.M., but from July 1802 there was also a _berline_ with six places which started at 4 P.M., travelled all night, and arrived as soon as the morning coach.

[30] In 1814, according to Kirwan, the fishwives no longer carried passengers on their backs, but wading through the water tugged or pushed small boats ashore. But Richard Bernard Boyle was carried ashore by three men, one holding each leg and the third pushing behind.

[31] Also his biographer. Trotter died in poverty in 1818, aged forty-three.

[32] Her age is given in the police register as sixty-three, but as she died in 1842 at the age of ninety-two, she was really only fifty-two. Fox’s age, on the other hand, is given as fifty, whereas it was fifty-three. The ages in the register seem sometimes to be hotel-keepers’ random guesses.

[96] She was the daughter of Sebastian Mercier, and after Holcroft’s death married James Kenney, the dramatist. She died in 1853. Her brother accompanied Holcroft back to England, but the printing-office started by them did not succeed.

[97] The son, who married Elizabeth Latouche, died in 1806, leaving a son who became a lunatic in 1826 and died unmarried in 1847.

[115] Redhead Yorke, _Letters from France_.

[116] One of these was Manning. At first, indeed, imperfect knowledge of French deterred him, for Lamb wrote to him:--‘Your letter was just what a letter should be, crammed and very funny. Every part of it pleased me till you came to Paris, then your philosophical indolence or indifference stung me. You cannot stir from your rooms till you know the language. What the devil! Are men nothing but ear-trumpets? Are men all tongue and ear?’

But presently he says:--‘ ... the god-like face of the First Consul.... I envy you your access to this great man much more than your _seances_ and conversaziones, which I have a shrewd suspicion must be something dull.’ (S. Wheeler, _Letters of Lamb_.)

Among the lectures by which he profited were those on Chinese by Joseph Heger, a German whom he may have previously met in London.

[123] Charles Orby Hunter, probably his father, had died at Paris in 1791.

[124] Reichardt, however, comparing France with Germany, speaks of the increase of drinking, and of young men deliberately assembling for a carouse; he also speaks of gormandising.

[125] Information kindly supplied by Canon Jessopp.

[126] Reichardt, who met Bishop Grégoire and Kosciuski at her house, describes her as wearing a cap with long flaps covering her cheeks, and with a large bouquet falling down from her hair to her nose, so that with her constant nods and gesticulations there were only occasional glimpses of her eyes and mouth. He was bored, too, by the poetical recitations of Vigée, Madame Vigée-Lebrun’s brother. Poole, however, was pleased at meeting so many _literati_, and Meyer, canon of Hamburg, thought the hostess resembled Angelica Kaufmann.

[132] I can find no confirmation of this story. If there was a duel, it must have been with Thomas Pitt, Lord Camelford, but Christopher was probably confused with Thomas Potter, a member of Wilkes’s Hell-fire club, who, elected as an anti-Pittite, joined Pitt, and in 1756 was appointed Paymaster of the Forces. The two Potters may or may not have been kinsmen.

[133] Malmesbury, who did not take the overture seriously, says--‘He came to me _avec des projets insensés_.’

[156] Some French ladies, who were disagreeably crowded by public curiosity in Kensington Gardens, complained heavily of our want of _politesse_. They should remember, however, that they were not quite undressed in the fashion, and that the English ladies always walk out with something upon their heads, however they treat the rest of their persons.--_Times_, April 19, 1803.

[157] Holcroft was told by a French lady, who sent for him to make this confidence and received him in her bath, that Fiévée was commissioned to bribe London newspapers (_Travels from Hamburg to Paris_). Holcroft believed that the mission was unsuccessful.

[168] See a full account of this in _Humanité Nouvelle_, July to September 1899; Allonville, ‘Mém. Secrets’; Metternich, ‘Mémoires’; Lecestre, ‘Lettres de Napoléon,’ containing letters on this subject which were suppressed in the collection published by Napoleon III.

[222] This was not the only marriage among the captives.

[223] This was not the only case of unaccountable desertion. Edmund Wilson, born in Italy, was left behind in France at the age of three years by his English parents--there was an Andrew Wilson, an artist, a visitor, but surely he was not the delinquent--and was adopted by the Comtesse d’Aumale. He became a prominent liberal Catholic, and from 1829 to 1831 contributed to the _Correspondant_ till it was superseded by the more advanced _Avenir_ of Lamennais. It was, however, revived in 1842 and still exists. For seventeen years ‘le sage Wilson,’ as he was called on account of his habitual circumspection, presided over Sunday gatherings of Parisian apprentices. He was unmarried, a sort of lay monk, was very charitable, and was never naturalised in France. He died in 1862.
