CASTRIES (Charles Eugène Gabriel de La Croix de). Autograph letter signed to the Comte de Bothorel. Nijmegen, December 9, 1793. One p. in-8 square. "I have received... the details that you kindly communicated to me on the movement of the royal army in Brittany, and for the fears that you have conceived of the different views that may direct a party in the operations that are being prepared in the situation in which we find ourselves. It is impossible to oppose the arrangements that are being made, even those that are contrary to the goal that one should be proposing, and when one does not have the strength to oppose, one must observe the greatest silence; you have therefore wisely done to contain the effects of your zeal, and I have no doubt that m[onsei]g[eu]r the c[om]te d'Artois will write to you in the same spirit. I hope that the political system which leads to the recognition of a monarchy without a king will not persist forever, and that the natural consequences of things will regain their rights. I have the honor of thanking you for your attention in informing me of the news that reaches you from our unfortunate country, and have that of being with a sincere attachment... your very humble and very obedient servant..." A liaison between the Chouans and the royal armies of the West and the Count of Artois, René-Jean de Bothorel was exiled to Jersey in 1790. Before the Revolution, he had been Attorney General of the States of Brittany. Marshal de Castries, exile companion of the future Louis XVIII. A friend of Jacques Necker, with whom he stayed at the start of his emigration, Charles Eugène Gabriel de La Croix, Marquis de Castries (1727-1801) served in the army of the Princes, then as principal advisor to the Comte de Provence, the future Louis XVIII. He died in Wolfenbüttel in 1801. Nephew of Marshal de Belle-Isle, he had enjoyed a distinguished military career under the Ancien Régime, distinguishing himself in the Seven Years' War in Corsica, the Caribbean and Germany. Secretary of State for the Navy from 1780 to 1787, he made a major political contribution to the success of the American War of Independence.
