_Philip d'Auvergne._--
"On the 12th of March, 1792, the King of Great Britain granted to
Captain Philip d'Auvergne, R. N., his licence to accept the succession
to the said duchy (Bouillon), in case of the death of the hereditary
prince, only son of the reigning duke, without issue male, pursuant to
a declaration of his Serene Highness, dated June 25th, 1791, at the
desire, and with the express and formal consent of the nation."
I find this in Brooke's _Gazetteer_, under the heading of "Bouillon." Can
any of your correspondents give a further account of Captain d'Auvergne? I
suppose the troubles consequent upon the French Revolution would prevent
his accession to the duchy, even if he survived the hereditary prince?
