Excerpt from Histoire du Règne de Louis XVI, Vol. 2: Pendant les Années ou l'On Pouvait Prévenir ou Diriger la Révolution Française
L'archevêque de Toulouse aperçut dans la rési stance et les troubles, le parti qu'il pouvait en tirer pour lui-même il représenta à la reine que, dans les mamans difficiles pour donner plus de force au pouvoir, on doit le concentrer; et il se fit nommer prmc1pal ministre. Les maréchaux de Ségur et de Castries, ne voulant pas se trouver dans un rang inférieur au sien donnèrent leur démission. Toujours occupé de lui - même, l'archevêque fit appeler au dé partement de la guerre le comte de Brienne, son frère, homme du monde assez habile en intrigues de cour; mais qui ne méritait, ni par ses taleus, ni par ses services, la confiance des militaires. Pour la marine, le choix tomba sur le comte de la Luzerne qui commandait alors à Saint - Domingue (r). La nomina tion d'un absent et celle d'un homme nul, annon çaient d'autant plus d'urréflexion qu'une guerre pa raissait imminente il est nécessaire de considérer la situation extérieure du royaume.
