As early as 1782 he was employed by the Russian embassy in Warsaw , where he worked for eight years under Count Stackelberg. In 1790 he became titular councilor and joined his father at the Russian embassy in Regensburg. In 1798 he was promoted to court counselor and in 1799 transferred to the Russian embassy in Munich .
