Friedrich Adolf Von Kalckreuth, count, a German general, born at Sottershausen, Feb. 22, 1737, died in Berlin, June 10, 1818. He entered the army in 1752, and in reward of distinguished services was made a count in 1788. In 1793 he compelled Mentz to capitulate, and shared in the victories at Kaiserslau-tern (1793-'4) and in subsequent successes. In 1807 he defended Dantzic against the French, was allowed to surrender under the same honorable conditions which he had accorded at Mentz, and was made field marshal. In the same year he concluded a truce with Berthier at Tilsit, preliminary to the treaty of peace which he and Goltz negotiated in July with Talleyrand. In 1810 he became governor of Berlin, which office he resumed in 1814, after having been governor of Breslau.- His son, Count Friedrich, published in 1825 Drama-tische Dichtungen ; and a nephew of the latter, Count Stanislaus (born Dec. 25, 1820), became a landscape painter and director of the school of art at Weimar.
