Item Details

Description

CALONNE, Charles-Alexandre de. Lettera autografa firmata indirizzata a M. Le Vicomte de Peyronnenq de St. Chamarans. Calais, 20 Février 1789Bifolio in 8vo. 200x155 mm. Testo su tre pagine, nitida grafia in corsivo, inchiostro bruno. Indirizzo e sigillo di cera rossa nella quarta pagina. Tracce d’uso e velatura di umidità. Interessante lettera di Calonne da Calais. Molto importante la data, 20 febbraio, poiché è attestato che Calonne rientrò in Francia dall’Inghilterra il 30 marzo, per presentare la sua candidatura alla Deputazione della Flandre maritime. Persuaso di poter ancora giocare un ruolo nella politica francese, l’’ex Controleur general des Finances, cerca abilmente di tessere alleanze con i nobili: “Je présume, mon cher Vicomte que votre voyage à Paris vous aura été très avantageux pour vous et pour votre pays ...”; e aggiunge “Je sais à quel point les intérêts de nos compatriotes nous sont … et je ne doute point que vous en soyez occupé. Je desiré tres ardemment … de les faire valoir dans cette occasion importante (la convocazione degli Stati Generali)”. Osteggiato e deriso, Calonne dovrà però ritornare subito in Inghilterra, dove sarà raggiunto dai primi emigranti dopo la presa della Bastiglia, fra i quali lo stesso Vicomte de Peyronnenq. Diventerà allora uno dei principali artefici della controrivoluzione, ricoprendo la carica di ‘Tresorier de l’Emigration’.

Condition

Bifolio in 8vo. 200x155 mm. Text on three pages, clear italic written in brown ink. Address and red sealing wax in the fourth page. Traces of wear and humidity.Interesting letter from Calonne from Calais. The date, 20 February, is very important, since it is certified that Calonne returned to France from England on 30 March, to present his candidacy for the Deputation of Flandre maritime. Convinced that he could still play a role in French politics, the former Controleur general des Finances cleverly tried to weave alliances with the nobles: “Je présume, mon cher Vicomte que votre voyage à Paris vous aura été très avantageux pour vous et pour votre pays ...”; and he adds “Je sais à quel point les intérêts de nos compatriotes nous sont… et je ne doute point que vous en soyez occupé. Je desiré tres ardemment … de les faire valoir dans cette occasion orientale (the convocation of the States General)”. Opposed and derided, Calonne will however have to return immediately to England, where he will be joined by the first emigrants after the storming of the Bastille, including Vicomte de Peyronnenq himself. He will then become one of the main architects of the counter-revolution, holding the position of 'Tresorier de l'Emigration'.
