At Vienna, after the peace of Passarowitz, he made himself very disa- greeable to the Prince, and was therefore sent, in 1723, as master-j;eneral of ordnance, to the Neth- erlands, where he soon pot in<o a quarrel with the Governor, was broujrht to trial, and con- demned to death. The Emperor commuted the sentence to one year's imprisonment and banish- ment from German soil. Bonneval went to Con- stantinople, where he was cordially welcomed, became a Mohammedan, taking the name of Achmet, and was made a pasha of three tails. He was employed in organizing the Turkish artil- lery and achieved successes as general of a divi- sion of 20.000 men in the war of the Porte with Russia. For his services the Sultan appointed him Governor of Chios: but his own imprudence and the envy of others caused his removal from this office. He died in Constantinople. He vain- ly attempted to stir up the Sultan against Aus- tria. His remarkable energy and great military talents were offset by a boorish and quarrelsome disposition, which always made him enemies on every side.
