August Franz Essenius
August Franz Essenius , later August Franz von Essen , (born October 7, 1724 in Gommern near Magdeburg, † October 21, 1792 in Warsaw ) was a councilor of the Electorate of Saxony and resident at the Polish court. He was raised to the imperial nobility in 1767 as Essenius von Essen .
Life
Essenius' father of the same name , August Franz Essenius, was an Electoral Saxon bailiff in Gommern, in Dresden from 1732 and court and judiciary in 1747; the mother's name was Anna Rosina, geb. Neugebauer.
August Franz Essenius, who was appointed Legion Councilor in 1761, stayed in Danzig in 1761 and 1762 as a resident of the Electorate of Saxony . In the following year, the year of death of Friedrich August II., Who as August III. was also King of Poland, Essenius took over the resident post in Warsaw, which he kept until his death.
His reports to the Saxon cabinet on the desolate internal conditions of the republic and on the true intentions of the partitioning powers , evidence of an unusual sharpness of the eye and characterful frankness, contributed significantly to the elector Friedrich August III. of Saxony to reject the succession to the throne in Poland offered to him in 1791.
