Fouchet, Jean Antoine Joseph, Baron 1763-
Diplomatist; born in St. Quentin, France, in 1763; was a law student at Paris when the Revolution broke out, and published a pamphlet in defence of its principles.
Soon afterwards he was appointed a member of the executive council of the revolutionary government, and was French ambassador to the United States in 1794-95.
Here his behavior was less offensive than that of Citizen Genet, but it was not satisfactory, and he was succeeded by Adet, a more prudent man. After he left the United States, the French Directory appointed him a commissioner to Santo Domingo, which he declined.
Under Bonaparte he was prefect of Var, and in 1805 he was the same of Ain. Afterwards he was created a baron and made commander of the Legion of Honor.
He remained in Italy until the French evacuated it in 1814.
On Napoleon's return from Elba Fouchet was made prefect of the Gironde.
The date of his death is not known.

French depredations.
On Feb. 27.
Mouth of French Creek. 1797, the Secretary of State laid before Congress a full exhibit of the wrongs inflicted by the French on American commerce.
Skipwith, American consulgeneral in France, had presented to the Directory 170 claims, many of them for provisions furnished, examined, and allowed; for 103 vessels embargoed at Bordeaux, for which promised indemnity had never been paid; and to these wrongs were added enormous depredations then going on in the West Indies, seizing and confiscating the property of Americans without restraint.
American vessels were captured and their crews treated with indignity and cruelty.
Encouraged by the accession of Spain to their alliance and the victories of Bonaparte in Italy, the French Directory grew every day more insolent.
They were countenanced by a great party in the United States, which had failed by only two votes to give a President to the American Republic.
