Editing Carlo Andrea Pozzo di Borgo (section)

===Diplomat during Restoration===
Pozzo assisted at the [[Congress of Vienna]], and during the [[Hundred Days]] he joined [[Louis XVIII of France|Louis XVIII]] in [[Belgium]], where he was also instructed to discuss the situation with the [[Arthur Wellesley, 1st Duke of Wellington|Duke of Wellington]]. He was present at [[Battle of Waterloo|Waterloo]] and was singled out by [[Arthur Wellesley, 1st Duke of Wellington|The Duke of Wellington]] in his post-battle dispatch.<ref>{{Cite web|url=http://www.wtj.com/archives/wellington/1815_06f.htm|title=Wellington's Dispatches}}</ref> The Tsar dreamed of allowing an appeal to the people of France on the subject of the government of France in accordance with his vague liberalizing tendencies, but Pozzo's suggestions in this direction were met by violent opposition, the Duke refusing to make any concessions to what he regarded as rebellion; but in St. Petersburg, on the other hand, his attachment to the Bourbon dynasty was considered excessive.

During the early years of his residence in Paris Pozzo laboured tirelessly to lessen the burdens laid on France by the allies and to shorten the period of foreign occupation. That his French sympathies were recognized in Paris is shown by the strange suggestion that he should enter the French ministry with the portfolio of foreign affairs. He consistently supported the moderate party at court, and stood by the ministry of the [[Armand-Emmanuel du Plessis, Duc de Richelieu|Duc de Richelieu]], thus earning the distrust and dislike of Metternich, who held him responsible for the revival of Liberal agitation in France. His influence at the Tuileries declined with the accession of [[Charles X of France|Charles X]], whose reactionary tendencies had always been distasteful to him; but at the revolution of 1830, when Tsar Nicholas was reluctant to acknowledge [[Louis-Philippe of France|Louis Philippe]], he did good service in preventing difficulties with Russia.
