Vanity at length getting the better
of Avarice.
The Colonel never was in the Empress's
Service neither do I learn that he
attempted it, but he engaged himself
as Preceptor or a travelling
Companion to a young man Mr Landskoy in
whose Education the Empress
interested herself, and He left
Petersburg with this Mr Landskoy
about 8 or 9 years ago. They
were at Paris together, but the Pupil
connecting himself with a Girl
there in a manner wch displeased
his Friends, and the Preceptor
taking no pains to break that
Connection he was turned off,
and my friend Ribanpiere saw
him soon after in Paris in the year
1783, inhabiting a Part of the Town
which secures a Man in debt
from being molested by his Creditors.
From that time there is no further news
of him.
