sided at the Court of Mesdames (the daughters of Louis XV:) by whom he was held in high consideration. After the breaking out of the Revolution, he accepted, in 1791, the post of Minister at War, with a view to save the King. This object was clearly evinced, by a proposal which he made verbally, in the most serious manner, to the National Assembly, and at the same time in writing to the Duke of Brunswick. On the 9th Jan. 1792, he résigned his office, and retired into private life. Napoleon drew him from obscurity, as a branch of the ancient noblesse, to give splendour to his court, and Narbonne very unwillingly consented. He could not stoop to flatter. The most favourable ex pression that ever escaped his lips respect ing Napoleon was, Il est si heureux!how lucky he is! He often said of him, Sa téle est un volcan-his head is a volcano ; and still more frequently, C'est un crane, qui n'a point d'entrailles he is all head and no heart. With the emperor he was however a great favourite. He is said to have gone with great reluctance to Russia, to Vienna, and lastly to Torgau, where he died.

He had suffered for some weeks under a severe indisposition, which he bore with a fortitude and resignation, a piety and a submission, which would have done honour either to an ancient philosopher, or a more enlightened Christian. A circumstance somewhat singular marked this gentle man; he voluntarily resigned into the hands of the donors, Lord Dudley and Ward, and the Bishop of Winchester, two livings, worth at least 2000l. a-year, because he was not on the spot to perform the duty conscientiously to his parishioners.
