Excerpt from Secret Memoirs of the Court of France: During the Xviith and Xviiith Centuries Madame de Montespan. On the death of the King, Dubois was made a Councillor of State, and, from that time forth, he devoted himself to diplomacy, in the service of which he showed a rare delicacy of tact as well as an indefatigable activity. To his address were due the friendly relations which for long existed between George I and the Regent. In 1717, he concluded, along with Lord Stanhope, the Triple Alliance of The Hague, between England, France, and Holland, which had for its object the suppression of Spanish interests. On his return to France, Dubois was made Minister of Foreign Affairs. He outwitted the Cellamare conspiracy, and robbed Philip V of Spain of the services of his minister Alberoni. In 1720 the Regent nominated him Archbishop of Cambray. In the following year Dubois was made a Cardinal, and in 1722 he became Prime Minister. His death took place on August 1oth, 1723.
