HISTORY - SÉGUIER Armand Louis Maurice (1770 - 1831) - Twelve autograph letters signed Twelve autograph letters signed, dated London between December 17, 1818 and November 30, 1819. Important, unpublished diplomatic correspondence by the French diplomat, who fought in the Army of Condé. To Count Alexandre de Hauterive (1754-1830), a diplomat and former custodian of the archive of the Ministry of Foreign Affairs. Very informative correspondence about the reception of the Restoration in Europe, and in particular about diplomatic relations between France and England. From London, where he is the consul general of France since 1816, he expresses his disappointment with not having obtained a better position: "Officier supérieur à 22 ans, et ayant fait (...) cinq campagnes pour le service du roi (...) un emploi diplomatique n' était peut-être pas de trop pour un Séguier sous le règne des Bourbons, après trente trois ans de service (...) on continue à m'employer comme consul...". A few weeks later he reports what is being said in London about the new ambassador M. de la Tour Mauburg: "...considéré par les allemands comme une espèce de traître ainsi l'envoyé autrichien (...) s'en expliquait très défavorablement (...) C'est sur ces entrefaites que la nouvelle (...) est arrivée. Sa qualité de général est tout ce qui a frappé (...) On a été consulter le duc de Wellington (...) sa réponse paroit s'être ressentie de la mauvaise humeur habituelle qu'il montre contre nous...". Total of 29 pp. In-4.
