Tienne Clavi Re

Please note that the content of this book primarily consists of articles available from Wikipedia or other free sources online. tienne Clavi re (27 January 1735 - 8 December 1793) was a Swiss-born French financier and politician of the French Revolution. A native of Geneva, he became one of the democratic leaders of the Geneva Republic, and in 1782 was forced to take refuge to the Kingdom of Great Britain, after the armed interference of France, the Kingdom of Sardinia and Berne in favour of the patrician party. There, he met other Swiss, among them Jean-Paul Marat and tienne Dumont, but their plans for a new Geneva in Ireland -which the government of William Pitt the Younger favoured- were given up when Jacques Necker came to power in France, and Clavi re, with most of his comrades, went to Paris. In 1789, he and Dumont allied themselves with Honor Mirabeau, secretly collaborating for him on the Courrier de Provence and also preparing speeches for Mirabeau to deliver - this association with Clavi re sustained Mirabeau's reputation as a financier. He was one of the members of the abolitionist Society of the Friends of the Blacks and of the Jacobin Club.
