phia Nine. Moreau, who was st5H you ng,
was fond of society. 1t would be in ter
esing to have some account Of the i'm
preston made by Moreau on Amei lean
society; we know very little on this sub
ject. Nine Moreau made the acf uain-
lance of Frenchwoman whose hS band
Hyde de Melville, had been a secret
agent of the Bourbons in Paris, under the
Consulate, and who had been obliged to
leave France. The two ladies met acct
dentally at a watering place. Hyde de
Neuville arrived in America in 1897, with
a letter for Moreau from Mmrne de Mou-
chy, but Moreau was rather shy of maxi
ing his acquaintance. BY degFe Is the in
timacy which spranG up betw eSn the two
ladies brought the husbands nearer to-
gether. Hyde de Melville h1cceeded in
bringing Moreau over to tt e idea of a
monarchfcal restoration in rance.
Moreau was directly temple d in another
way on the side Of Russia He was not
willing to serve Austria or E hgland, from
fear of offending French, feelings; he
was not willing to form an independent
rench corps made up of sold hrs who had
served under him and to usbe this force,
in alliance with Russia :End Prussia,
against the man whom he considered the
scourge of Europe. Such dreams SAVIOR
ed Of high treason, and 1t was Moreau's
misfortune to have entertained them. His
Independent force never existed except
in his imagination; his cooperation with
Russia and Prussia became a reality. In
the month of August, 1906, the principal
adviser of the Emperor Alexander, Prince
Czarborysk, offered M0reau the place of
general in the ranks of the allied armies
At that time Moreau had left for Amer
ica~ He wrote polite answer to the EN-
peror, re fusing his offer. IN 1872 when
war broke out between the United States
and England Moreau offered his services
to President Madison. His wife fell Ill,
and left for Europe. Bernsldotte, who
had become Prince Royal of Sweden and
had entered into the coalition against Ma
poleon, made new offers to Moreau,
through Madame de Stael. AT the end Of
1872, Moreau sent his aide-de camp, Re-
patel. with instructions to st, Petersburg
and Stockholm. He wrote a letter to er-
nadotte. in which he said: 81 am ready
to enter France at the head of French
troops, but I cannot conceal from you
my repugnance to reentering it at the,i
head of foreign troops" He left Amer
lisa with a passport (unoer the name of
John Caro-, born in louisiana on June

burg, and the Swedish general who re =

The rest is well known; at the battle of
