He fought under Conde in the campaigns of 1792-93, and then entered the service of Holland, and when almost surrounded by the army of General Pichegru, conducted a masterly retreat from the island of Bommel.

After Napoleon's fall in 1814 he entered the French service, and in 1815 he held the command of a regiment raised by himself, with which he took part in the Spanish campaign of 1823. In 1827 he was created marshal and peer of France. He died at Luneville on May 3o, 1829.
