Abstract
During the ministry of Narbonne an army of 150,000 men was set up under the command of Rochambeau, Luckner and La Fayette. His general staff included d’Arblay and Montmorency. Meanwhile, Talleyrand negotiated the neutrality of England in London, while Staël in Stockholm sang the praises of Narbonne to Gustavus. However, all these efforts led to nothing and, on 10 March 1792, Narbonne lost his portfolio and joined La Fayette and d’Arblay in Arras.
