Having learned our arrival, he presented himself without ceremony, with great indecorum, and with a complete disregard of the respect due to a man who had rendered himself so illustrious.

General Bonaparte, offended at this behaviour, refused to receive him again, and expressed himself to me with much warmth on the occasion of this visit.

All my efforts to remove his displeasure were unavailing this impression always continued, and he never did for M.de Cominges what his means and the old ties of boyhood might well have warranted.
On arriving at Rastadt -- [The conference for the formal peace with the Empire of Germany was held there.

The peace of Leoben was only one made with Austria.]-- Bonaparte found a letter from the Directory summoning him to Paris.

He eagerly obeyed this invitation, which drew him from a place where he could act only an insignificant part, and which he had determined to leave soon, never again to return.
