Félix de Beaujour

Louis Félix-Auguste-Beaujour, (Louis-Auguste Feris) (28 December 1765 Callas, Var – 1 July 1836, Paris) was a French diplomat, politician, historian, and French ambassador to the United States.

He studied in Aix-en-Provence and Paris, and entered the diplomatic service.

Upon the dissolution of the assembly, he went to the United States as Commissioner General, with a mission to raise the money for the French government, that had been delegated to Mexico, by Spanish subsidies.

In 1818, Louis XVIII gave the title of baron, and he then changed his name (Feris) to (Félix).
