MAURY, m8"A', JEAN SIFFREIN: French cardinal; b. at ValrOas (78 m. n.n.w. of Marseilles), France, June 26, 1746; d. at Montefiascone (about 50 m. n.n.w. of Rome), Italy, May 11, 1817. He was educated in the seminary of Avignon, but occupied himself more with literature than theology. By his Oraison funkbre du Dauphin, panogyrrque de saint Louis (Paris, 1766), he attracted great atten tion as an orator; was made abbot of Frdnade, and prior of Lyons, and published his best work Essai Sur lWoquence de la chaire (new ed., Paris, 1810, Eng. transl., Principles of Ed1793). Elected a member of the States ~ o Generalin 1789, and of the constituent assembly, he played a conspicuous part, defending the prerogatives of the crown, the privileges of the nobility, and the immu nities of the church. Compelled to emigrate in 1792, he repaired to Rome, where he was received by Pius VI. with great honor; made archbishop in partib- of Nica;a, bishop of Montefiascone, and cardinal 1794. At the instance of Pius VII., it is said he wrote a humble letter to Napoleon, Aug. 22, 1804, which resulted in his reconciliation with the French Government. In 1806 he returned to Paris; and so absolutely did . he devote himself to

Napoleon that he became an object of hatred to the legitimists and the ultramontanes. In 1810 Napoleon made him archbishop of Paris; but the chapter protested against the appointment, and the pope refused his sanction. He was expelled from his see as soon as the Bourbons returned, and, when he went to Rome to lay the case before the pope, was imprisoned in the castle of San Angelo until he resigned his see. His (Euvres choisies were published by his nephew (5 vols., Parie,1827); his Correspondance diplomatique et mémoires iWdifs appeared in 2 vols. (Lille, 1891); his (Euvres orataires completes are in Migne, Collection . . . ales orateurs sacrés, Vol. Ixvii.
