In consequence of the mediation of Louis XVI.

the Queen of Naples obtained complete satisfaction, and Mr.Acton continued Prime Minister.
Among the characteristics which denoted the goodness of the Queen, her respect for personal liberty should have a place.

I have seen her put up with the most troublesome importunities from people whose minds were deranged rather than have them arrested.

Her patient kindness was put to a very disagreeable trial by an ex-councillor of the Bordeaux Parliament, named Castelnaux; this man declared himself the lover of the Queen, and was generally known by that appellation.

For ten successive years did he follow the Court in all its excursions.
