After that period he had the foie management of all the 
foreign affairs ; poffeffed great influence in regard to thofe 
of the interior, and enjoyed the unlimited confidence of 
the emprefs Maria Therefa, and afterwards of Jofeph II. 
Leopold II. and Francis II. His mode of life was fome- 
what Angular. At eight o’clock in the morning his door 
was opened, he took chocolate, read his letters, dictated 
anfwers, and difpatched his minilterial bufinefs; all the 
while in bed. At two he rofe. At four o’clock he went 
to his riding-houfe, adjoining his habitation in thefuburbs, 
and, during an hour and a quarter, he exercifed on horfe- 
back, after which he returned home to drefs. At feven, 
lie fat down to dinner. At half paft eight, the foreign 
miniilers aflembled at his lioufe till ten, when he retired. 
Nothing could alter this arrangement. When in 1790 the 
king and queen of Naples parted fome time at Vienna, the 
queen went to fee him in the courfe of the morning ; he 
received her in bed ; and when, at two o’clock, fhe did 
not feem inclined to terminate the vifit, he gave her to un¬ 
it and that two was thef hour fixed for his rifing, and that 
he fliould be glad to be alone. Towards the end of din¬ 
ner, continuing at table, he would call for a fmall box 
containing brufhes and fponges, and begin to clean his 
teeth ; which operation lafted about twenty minutes, with¬ 
out regarding his company. The prefence of one of the 
Engiifh princes was not able to prevent him from purfu- 
ing his cultom ; whence we may conclude that it was in¬ 
variable. He had contracted fucli an immobility of the 
fpine, from habits of lfate, that it became at laft phyfically 
impoflible for him to ltoop. It is faid that he one day let 
fall a paper in the emprel's’s clofet. She was too great to 
bend ; and the minilter could not command his mulcles : 
it was neceffary, therefore, to ring for an attendant. He 
died on the 27th of June, 1794, in the eighty-fourth year 
of his age.
