His mother, who died in 1787, was one of the celebrities of the court of Stanislas Leszczynski, at Luneville. His wit and elegant manners and his poetical talents rendered him a favorite at the court of Louis XV. He was a member of the constituent assembly (1789), and afterward went to Berlin, where he received from the king a grant of lands in Prussian Poland, to establish a French colony; but the plan failed. He married Mme. de Sabran and returned to France in 1300, and in 1804 was admitted to the French academy.
