In 1772, upon the recommendation of his colleague
Voltaire, he accepted a professorship of
French literature at
Kassel.[20][21] Due to severe political criticism of his writing, however, he soon left
the continent for England in search of greater
journalistic freedom. In 1789, he was recruited by
Panckoucke as an editor of the Mercure de France in Paris.[22] He resided in the city until 1792, when he was enlisted by
Louis XVI, who saw du Pan as his political ally, as a special
envoy charged with gathering military support from neighboring leaders.[23] Du Pan participated in drafting precursors to the Brunswick Manifesto,[24][25] and was forced into exile to
Bern in 1797.[26] He returned to England the following year, founded the Mercure britannique, and died of
consumption in 1800.[27][28]
His grandson was the British civil servant Sir Louis Mallet. Through Louis and his brother, Charles (1824â1892), Jacques is the ancestor of many English civil servants and other public figures, including
Louis du Pan Mallet,
Charles Mallet the younger,
Victor Mallet, and John and Richard Butler,
Barons Dunboyne.
Paul Henri Mallet
Paul Henri Mallet (1730â1807) was a scholar and diplomat from Geneva. His nephew, Paul Henri Mallet Prevost (1756â1835), was the progenitor of the American
Mallet-Prevost branch.
After he had completed his duties in Denmark, Mallet journeyed to England to visit the
royal family, which included
Caroline Matilda, the betrothed of his former pupil, Christian. Mallet became the princess'
epistolary literary advisor when she left for Denmark.[42] In 1760, Mallet returned to Geneva, where he was offered a professorship as chair of the department of history and, four years later, a position on the
Council of Two Hundred. Despite his apparent success as an educator, Mallet refused
empress Catherine's offer to tutor her young son,
Paul I.[43][44] Instead, he chose to accompany
Lord Mount Stuart on a
Grand Tour through Europe.[45][46][47]
While in England, Mallet received a commission to create a history for the
House of Hanover. This work, along with another from
Frederick II for the
House of Hesse, was completed in 1785.[44] However, over the next few years, the wealth Mallet had accumulated, including his pensions from the nobility, was essentially dissolved due to ongoing
political turmoil. When the
occupying French government found out about his poor financial state, however, Mallet was supplied with a generous allowance, which he took advantage of for a brief period until his death in 1807 from an acute attack of
paralysis.[48][49] A volume of Mallet's first biography, by
Sismondi, was published in the same year.[50][51]

French Revolution, he and several other bankers, including
Claude Perier and
Jean-Conrad Hottinguer, helped to
install Napoleon on the French throne.[7] In 1810,
Emperor Napoleon awarded Guillaume a
knighthood[63] and ennobled him as Baron de Chalmassy. Furthermore, Guillaume and his colleagues were given complete control over the newly established
Bank of France, on whose Council of Regents Guillaume was engaged from 1800 until his death.[64] Guillaume's title was subsequently confirmed by
Louis XVIII during the
Restoration. â 1779 Elisabeth Boy de La Tour (â 1781), whose wealthy widowed mother, Julie, had assisted a young, displaced

Anglo-French Financial Commission, he and his colleagues successfully appealed to the United States for a $500 million loan for France and England.[77][78] Ernest assumed his late uncle Alphonse's seat on the Council of Regents until the council was abolished in 1936.[79] â 1905 Hon.
