Paul François Jean Nicolas, vicomte de Barras
Paul François Jean Nicolas, vicomte de Barras (30 June 1755 – 29 January 1829), commonly known as Paul Barras, was a French politician of the French Revolution, and the main executive leader of the Directory regime of 1795–1799.
==Early life==
Descended from a noble family of Provence, he was born at Fox-Amphoux, in today's Var ''département''.〔Richardson, p. 30.〕 At the age of sixteen, he entered the regiment of Languedoc as a "gentleman cadet". In 1776, he embarked for French India.〔〔Encyclopedia Brittanica (1911)〕
Shipwrecked on his voyage, he still managed to reach Pondicherry in time to contribute to the defence of that city during the Second Anglo-Mysore War.〔 Besieged by British forces, the city surrendered on 18 October 1778; after the French garrison was released, Barras returned to France.〔〔He left on a cartel named ''Sartine''. This was not the ''Sartine'' that the British Royal Navy had captured at Pondicherry and taken into service. On 1 May 1780 a British warship mistakenly fired on the cartel, killing her captain and two others. Barras was unhurt.〕 He took part in a second expedition to the region in 1782/83, serving in the fleet of the renowned Admiral Pierre André de Suffren.〔 Afterwards, he spent several years back home in France at leisure in relative obscurity.〔〔
