Fauvellet de, the early friend and the biographer of Napoleon, was born at Sens in 1769, and died at Caen in a lunatic asylum in 1834. He accompanied Bonaparte to Egypt as his secretary, and continued in that situation under the consulship; went in 1804 as ambassador to Hamburg; and after the fall of his old master, held office under Louis XVIII. The revolution of 1830, and the loss of his fortune, unhinged his reason. His Memoires, in 10 vols. 8vo, 1829–31, contain much interesting information regarding Napoleon. Their defects were exposed in a work, entitled Bourrienne et ses erreurs volontaires et involontaires, Paris, 1830, 2 vols. 8vo.
