NIVERNAIS  , Duc DE (1716-1798), French diplomatist and writer, was born in Paris on the 16th of December 1716, son of Philippe Jules Francois, duc de Nevers, and Maria Anne Spinola, and great-nephew of Cardinal Mazarin . He was educated at the College Louis le Grand, and married at the age of fourteen . He served in the campaigns in Italy (1733) and Bohemia (1740), but had to give up soldiering on account of his weak health . He was subsequently ambassador at Rome (1748-1752), Berlin (1755-1756) and London, where he negotiated the treaty of Paris (loth of February 1763) . From 1787 to 1789 he was a member of the Council of State . He did not emigrate during the Revolution, but lost all his money and was imprisoned in 1793 . He recovered his liberty after the fall of Robespierre, and died in . Paris on the 25th of February 1798 .. In 1743 he was elected to the, Academy for a poem_entitled Delie, and from 1763 he devoted the greater part of his time to the administration of the duchy of Nevers and to belles-lettres .

His Euvres completes were published in Paris in 1796; an edition of his 1 Euvres posthumes was brought out in Paris by Francois de Neufchateau in 1807, and his Correspondance secrete was published in Paris by de Lescure in 1866 .
