In 1787 French intrigues in Holland led to an invasion, without declaration of war, of a Prussian army, under the Duke of Brunswick, which entered that country on 13 September 1787, and occupied Amsterdam on behalf of the stadtholder on 10 October.
The Duke wished to have him as aide-de-camp, and 'was good enough to say that I was in some degree planner and conductor of the capture of Amstelveen.' Amstelveen was regarded as the key of the defences of Amsterdam, and had been seized through the activity of Gordon in the campaign of 1787.

The weight of the two crates caused a revolutionary mob at Le Havre to suspect that plate or other valuables belonging to some aristocrat were being smuggled out of France under Jefferson's diplomatic passport.
He almost failed to get an audience but at last was granted a single interview as a result of the impor- tunations of Patrick Colquhoun, Henry Dundas, and, most important of all, William Pulteney.
