"After the publication of his Vertraute Briefe (1792), he was dismissed from his post as court conductor in 1794 as a revolutionary sympathizer without a pension, and thereupon lived first in Hamburg ..., Another trip to Paris (1803) considerably dampened his enthusiasm for the French and their policies: Reichardt became an opponent of Napoléon Bonaparte."
