been carried out of France and imprisoned in Spain on account of some
family quarrel, but having made his escape, he fled to England. On March
27, 1752, a marshal’s court officer called at his apartments in London,
and presented a writ. Having consulted the French pastor, who recommended
him to go quietly, since some mistake had surely been made, he did so.
Upon his disappearance becoming known, Justice Fielding granted a warrant
on the supposition that the marquis was murdered, and an application was
also made to prevent his being carried out of the kingdom. It was all
to no purpose, for he was put on board of a small vessel at Gravesend,
conveyed to Calais where he was landed during the night of the 29th, and
thence sent on to the Bastille.—_Scots Magazine_, xiv. 212.

incident, de Broglio, full of concern lest the history of the secret
correspondence, in which he was the most prominently concerned, should
become generally known, and rather than that any such other accident
should occur, expressed to the King his readiness to proceed to London,
and to guarantee, by a mortgage on his own estates, the annual pension
to D’Eon of 12,000 livres, by way of effectually obtaining from him the
desired papers. Louis XV. had the meanness to approve of this security on
his royal word, and this proposed settlement being communicated to the
Chevalier, he readily acquiesced, save that he required the mortgage to
extend to the estates of the countess, which were larger than those of
her husband.

evening, the guests entertained each other by telling their dreams of the

man, ‘that I was the Golden Calf.’ ‘J’en suis persuadée,’ observed the

[237] De Vergy’s body, enclosed in a leaden coffin, was kept at the

circumstances, persisted in refusing to supply the necessary funds.
[238] By the untimely death of this nobleman in the hunting-field, in

authority. But M. D’Eon having been born on October 5, 1728, and as the
said Covenant endowed him with an existence conformable to his sex, M. de
Beaumarchais wished to pay Mademoiselle D’Eon the compliment of dating
this document, which was to her a sort of new baptismal certificate, with
the same date as that of her birth.’—Note by D’Eon.

D’Eon, who added: ‘N.B.—This judgment given by the King himself serves

leave him a single enemy under the reign of Louis XVI., when the choice
of ministers seems to characterise the monarch’s virtues, and to proclaim
that the brave and virtuous citizen is assured of a protector.’

5,000_l._, and gave a bill for the balance, which, however, he failed to
meet. D’Eon stated his liabilities to be 13,933_l._
[315] It is certain that D’Eon did not deliver every paper of importance.
Having dined with M. Hirsinger, French Chargé d’Affaires, on February 1,
1792, she consigned to that minister ‘a _valise_ containing papers of the

[338] I will quote from one among the several sensational descriptions
of D’Eon’s personal appearance, scarcely thinking it necessary to remind
the reader that she was not a colonel, nor had she been at Fontenoy. ‘...
He was at the period referred to about forty-seven years of age, tall
and muscular, swarthy, sunburnt, weather-beaten, scarred, having been
wounded in several engagements, since, as a youth of fifteen, he began
his career at Fontenoy.... For many years this bold colonel of dragoons
has been known as the Chevalier Eon de Beaumont.... From under the shade
of his thick shaggy eyebrows gleam a pair of bright bold-looking eyes
... in his triple row of ruffles, _mantelet à la reine_, and _bonnet à
la baigneuse_ surmounting a row of grizzly curls, he looks a very odd
figure of fun.’—_French Court and Society, Reign of Louis XVI. and First

[375] John Taylor freely expresses it as his opinion that D’Eon disgraced
_his_ character by exhibiting _himself_ with Mrs. Bateman in fencing
matches at several provincial towns. In March 1794, D’Eon wrote to ask
Warren Hastings, with whom he was well acquainted, for a letter of
introduction to Mr. Peter Speke, of the Supreme Council at Calcutta,
in behalf of the Batemans, who were proceeding to India to claim some
property. After Mr. Bateman’s death, his widow was married to Mr. Ester,
and died at Calcutta in 1801.
