Wounded in a duel with John Cadwalader and believing himself about to die, he wrote a letter apologizing to his most famous rival. His resignation to Congress in protest of his passing-over for the position of major general was refused, and in its stead Congress gave him the promotion and made him the US Army's first-ever inspector general. He is likely most known for writing "Heaven has been determined to save your Country; or a weak General and bad Councellors would have ruined it" in a letter addressed to Horatio Gates. For 10 points, name this Irish-French officer who tried to remove George Washington from command in a namesake Revolutionary War "cabal."
