_The Duke of Wellington Maréchal de France_ (Vol. vii., p. 283.).--The Duke
of Wellington is indebted to the writer in the _Revue Britannique_ for his
dukedom and bâton of France, and not to Garter King-at-Arms. No such titles
were attributed to his Grace or proclaimed by Garter, as a reference to the
official accounts in the _London Gazette_ will show. The Order of St.
Esprit was the only French honour ascribed to him; that Order he received
and frequently wore, the insignia of which were displayed, with his
numerous other foreign honours, at the lying-in-state. Such being the case,
Garter will not perhaps be expected to produce the diploma for either the
title of _Duc de Brunoy_ or the rank of _Maréchal de France_.
