By the age of twenty, in 1752, as a Sejm deputy, he had attracted attention with his oratory. He owed his career ultimately, however, to his family connections with the powerful Czartoryski Family, who in 1755 sent him to Saint Petersburg, Russian Empire, in the service of British ambassador Sir Charles Hanbury-Williams.

She was irresistibly drawn to the handsome, brilliant young Polish nobleman, for whom she forsook all other lovers.
