he was dangerously wounded. At the end of the year
he received the appointment of lieutenant of the Tower, but he continued
with the army in Flanders to the end of the war. His loyalty to the fallen
Marlborough cost him, in 1712, his rank, positions and emoluments under the
crown. George I. on his accession, however, reinstated Cadogan, and,
amongst other appointments, made him lieutenant of the ordnance. In 1715,
as British plenipotentiary, he signed the third Barrier Treaty between
Great Britain, Holland and the emperor. His last campaign was the Jacobite
insurrection of 1715-1716. At first as Argyle's subordinate (see Coxe,
_Memoirs of Marlborough_, cap. cxiv.), and later as commander-in-chief,
General Cadogan by his firm, energetic and skilful handling of his task
restored quiet and order in Scotland. Up to the death of Marlborough he was
continually employed in diplomatic posts of special trust, and in 1718 he
was made Earl Cadogan, Viscount Caversham and Baron Cadogan of Oakley. In
1722 he succeeded his old chief as head of the army and master-general of
the ordnance, becoming at the same time colonel of the 1st or Grenadier
Guards. He sat in five successive parliaments as member for Woodstock. He
died at Kensington in 1726, leaving two daughters, one of whom married the
second duke of Richmond and the other the second son of William earl of
Portland.

Readers of _Esmond_ will have formed a very unfavourable estimate of
Cadogan, and it should be remembered that Thackeray's hero was the friend
and supporter of the opposition and General Webb. As a soldier, Cadogan was
one of the best staff officers in the annals of the British army, and in
command of detachments, and also as a commander-in-chief, he showed himself
to be an able, careful and withal dashing leader.

He was succeeded, by special remainder, in the barony by his brother,
General Charles Cadogan (1691-1776), who married the daughter of Sir Hans
Sloane, thus beginning the association of the family with Chelsea, and died
in 1776, being succeeded in turn by his son Charles Sloane (1728-1807), who
in the year 1800 was created Viscount Chelsea and Earl Cadogan. His
descendant George Henry, 5th Earl Cadogan (b. 1840), was lord privy seal
from 1886 to 1892, and lord-lieutenant of Ireland from 1895 to 1902.

CADOUDAL, GEORGES (1771-1804), leader of the _Chouans_ during the French
Revolution, was born in 1771 near Auray. He had received a fair education,
