ABBE DE PRADT - LEGION D'HONNEURABBE DE PRADT - LEGION D'HONNEUR L.A.S. to the Baron of VITROLLES. 2 pages, around April 1814. Having just been named grand chancellor of the Legion of Honor, he asks that his nomination be made official and that he be given a budget since he must dismiss the employees of the chancellery. B.E. Admitted to the intimacy of M. de Talleyrand, M. de Pradt, at the time of the entry of the Russians into Paris, pronounced himself, like him, in favor of the re-establishment of the royal government and the immediate recall of the Bourbons. After his return in May 1814, Louis XVIII confirmed M. de Pradt in the position of chancellor of the Legion of Honor, to which the Provisional Government had elevated him on the previous April 7. But the public saw with some astonishment a prelate in charge of functions foreign to the Church, so he did not fill them for long and left his post the following November.
