Chateaubriand (F. A. de) — Contiuucd. 

 inj; of tlio flight ami arrest of Louis XVI, ho 

 roturnod to France, but, liiuliiig that lio couhl 

 uot bcucfit tho royal cause, joiucil the iiiii- 

 i^rauts at Cobloiitz, aiul afterward enlisted in 

 a compauy that followed tho Prussian army in 

 tlieir invasiou of Franco. Ho was wouadod 

 and loft for dead near Thionville, taken to Jer- 

 sey by a charitable person, and from 1793 till 

 1800 was an exile in England, where ho was re- 

 duced to extreme poverty, lie was converted 

 from matcrialisui by the dying a])peal of his 

 mother, and in 1798 began to compose his 

 "Genio du Christianisme." Tie returned to 

 Franco under an assumed name .and completed 

 this work, publishing it in 1802. Tho romance 

 of "Atala," a picture of life among the Araori- 

 can aborigines, which was incorporated in this 

 work, had previously .appeared in the "Mor- 

 euro de Franco" in 1801, and attracted much 

 attention. Hia work giiined him a diplo- 

 matic appointment from Bonaparte ; but after 

 tho execution of tho Due d'Enghien he resigned 

 it, and afterward bitterly assailed the Emperor. 

 Chateaubriand's political career was somewhat 

 w.iyward. He called himself a " Bourbonist 

 from a point of honor, a royalist by reason, a 

 republican by taste and disposition." Ho had 

 published a political pamphlet entitled "Do 

 Bonaparte et des Bourbons" (1814), which did 

 good service in tho king's canse, and after the 

 restoration ho became minister of State and ii 

 peer of France. Forfeiting the royal favor, ho 

 lost his office, but, becoming reconciled, ho was 

 minister to Berlin in 1820, to London in 1822, 

 and, .as a member of the Congress of Vcron.a, 

 w.as instrumental in bringing about the French 

 expedition to Spain. On his return he was 

 made minister of foreign affairs. Throughout 

 this time ho remained a royali.st, till on being 

 dismissed from ollico by the prime minister do 

 Villete, in 1824, he joined the liberals. lie 

 made himself popul.ar by advocating Greek in- 

 dependence, but after 1830 ceased to be active 

 in politics and gave himself up to literary pur- 

 suits. Among his numerous works, besides 

 those already noticed, are "Los Martyrs" 

 (1809); " Itiuerairo do Paris ;\ Jerusalem," 

 notes of his travels in Greece, Asia Minor, and 

 Egypt (1811); "Etudes, on discours histo- 

 riqucs," an introduction to a history of France 

 on a gigantic plan (1831) ; " Essai sur la littera- 

 ture anglaise ;" .and ' ' Memoires d'outre-1 ombe, " 

 an .autobiogr.aphy (12 vols., 1849-'o0) ; New Ed., 

 illustrated, 8 vols., IS.OG; G vols., 1861 ; German 

 tran-slation, 2d ed., Jena, 1832. This work he 

 sold in advance in 183G, and lived on an annuity 

 secured by the proceeds. His life was spent 

 la retirement, the drawing-room of his friend, 

 Mme. Kecamicr, being almost tho only place ho 

 visited. There he could be seen every evening 

 among the elite of tho liter.ary world. But a 

 profound melancholy clouded his latter years. 

 Most of his works have been tr.anslat<'d into 

 the English, (Jerni.an, and other languages.
