William II., who recognized his gifts for See also:diplomacy, sent him in 1787 to See also:Rome to obtain the papal See also:sanction for the appointment of a coadjutor to the See also:bishop of See also:Mainz, with a view to strengthening the See also:German Fiirstenbund. In 1788 he was sent to See also:Warsaw, and brought about a rapprochement with See also:Prussia and a diminution of See also:Russian See also:influence at Warsaw. He was accredited See also:ambassador to the See also:- KING

time intriguing with See also:Turkey, then at See also:war with See also:Austria and See also:Russia. Lucchesini was to rouse See also:Polish feeling against Russia, and to secure for Prussia the concourse of Poland in the event of war with Austria and Russia. All his See also:power of intrigue was needed in the conduct of these hazardous negotiations, rendered more difficult by the fact that Prussian policy excluded the existence of a strong Polish See also:government. A Prusso-Polish See also:alliance was concluded in See also:March 1790. Lucchesini had been sent in See also:January of that See also:year to secure the alliance of See also:Saxony against Austria, and in See also:September he was sent to See also:Sistova, where representatives of the See also:chief See also:European See also:powers were engaged in settling the terms of See also:peace between Austria and Turkey, which were finally agreed upon on the 4th of See also:August 1991. Before he returned to Warsaw the Polish treaty of which he had been the chief author had become a dead See also:letter owing to the engagements made between Prussia and Austria at See also:Reichenbach in See also:July 1790, and Prussia was already contemplating the second See also:partition of Poland. He was recalled at the end of 1791, and in July 1792 he joined Frederick William in the invasion of See also:France. He was to be Prussian ambassador in See also:Paris when the allied forces should have reinstated the authority of See also:- LOUIS

- LOUIS, JOSEPH DOMINIQUE, BARON (1755-1837)
- LOUIS, or LEWIS (from the Frankish Chlodowich, Chlodwig, Latinized as Chlodowius, Lodhuwicus, Lodhuvicus, whence-in the Strassburg oath of 842-0. Fr. Lodhuwigs, then Chlovis, Loys and later Louis, whence Span. Luiz and—through the Angevin kings—Hungarian
Louis XVI. He was opposed alike to the invasion of France and the See also:Austrian alliance, but his prepossessions did not interfere with his skilful conduct of the negotiations with See also:Kellermann after the See also:allies had been forced to retire by See also:Dumouriez's guns at Valmy, nor with his success in securing the See also:landgrave of See also:Hesse-See also:Darmstadt's assistance against France. In 1793 he was appointed ambassador to See also:Vienna, with the ostensible See also:object of securing See also:financial assistance for the Rhenish See also:campaign. He accompanied Frederick William through the Polish campaign of 1793-94, and in the autumn returned to Vienna. His See also:anti-Austrian See also:bias made him extremely unpopular with the Austrian court, which asked in vain for his recall in 1795. In 1797, after a visit to Italy in which he had an interview with See also:Napoleon at See also:Bologna, these demands were renewed and acceded to. In ,800 he was sent by Frederick William III. on a See also:special See also:mission to Paris. Despatches in which he expressed his distrust of See also:Bonaparte's peaceful professions and his conviction of the danger of the continuance of a neutral policy were intercepted by the first See also:consul, who sought his recall, but eventually accepted him as See also:regular ambassador (1802). He consistently sought friendly relations between France and Prussia, but he warned his government in 18o6 of Napoleon's intention of restoring See also:Hanover to See also:George III. and of See also:Murat's aggressions in See also:Westphalia. He was superseded as ambassador in. Paris in September just before the outbreak of war. After the disaster of See also:Jena on the 14th of See also:October he had an interview with See also:Duroc near See also:Wittenberg to seek terms of peace. After two unsuccessful attempts at negotiation, the first draft being refused by Napoleon, the second by Frederick William, he joined the Prussian court at See also:Konigsberg only to learn that his services were no longer required. He then joined the court of Elisa, See also:grand duchess of See also:Tuscany, at Lucca and See also:Florence, and after Napoleon's fall devoted himself to See also:writing. He died on the 20th of October 1825.
He published in 1819 three volumes, See also:Suite cause et gli effetti della confederazione rizenana, at Florence, but revealed little that was not already available in printed See also:sources. His See also:memoirs remained in MS. His despatches are edited by Bailleu in Preussen and Frankreich (See also:Leipzig, 1887, Publikationen aus den preussischen Staatsarchiven).
