him mount his horse in such a fury as to land on the other side and then
give his groom a cut of the whip."]

[Footnote 1209: Especially the letters addressed to Cardinal Consalvi
and to the Prefet of Montenotte (I am indebted to M. d'Haussonville for
this information).--Besides, he is lavish of the same expressions in
conversation. On a tour through Normandy, he sends for the bishop of
Seez and thus publicly addresses him: "Instead of merging the parties,
you distinguish between constitutionalists and non-constitutionalists.
Miserable fool! You are a poor subject,--hand in your resignation
at once!"--To the grand-vicars he says, "Which of you governs your
bishop--who is at best a fool?"--As M. Legallois is pointed out to
him, who had of late been absent. "Fuck, where were you then?" "With
my family." "With a bishop who is merely a damned fool, why are you so
often away, etc.?" (D'Haussonville,VI., 176, and Roederer, vol. III.)]

[Footnote 1211: Ibid., I., 224.--M. de Meneval, I., 112, 347; III.,
120: "On account of the extraordinary event of his marriage, he sent a
handwritten letter to his future father-in-law (the Emperor of Austria).
It was a grand affair for him. Finally, after a great effort,
he succeeded in penning a letter that was readable."--Meneval,
nevertheless, was obliged "to correct the defective letters without
letting the corrections be too plainly seen."]

outrageous and never-to-be forgotten scene which, on his return
from Spain, occurred with Talleyrand--("Souvenirs", by PASQUIER
Etienne-Dennis, duc, Chancelier de France. Librarie Plon, Paris 1893.

last word of their interview ("Souvenirs du feu duc de Broglie,"
I., 230).--Cf. his not less gratuitous and hazardous confidential
communications to Miot de Melito, in 1797, and his five conversations
with Sir Hudson Lowe, immediately recorded by a witness, Major
Gorrequer. (W. Forsyth, I.,147, 161, 200.)]
