  Joseph Marie Terray - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
Joseph Marie Terray (December 1715, Boën — February 18, 1778) was a Controller-General of Finances during the reign of Louis XV of France.
Terray, a priest, was appointed an ecclesiastical counsellor in the Parlement of Paris in 1736.
Terray spent the next few years stabilizing the finances of the country by repudiating part of the national debt, suspending payments on the interest on government bonds, and levying forced loans.

 MARIE ANTOINETTE   (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-11-01)
Marie Antoinette was the cause of her governess being dismissed, through a confession that all her copies and all her letters were invariably first traced out with pencil; the Comtesse de Brandes was appointed to succeed her, and fulfilled her duties with great exactness and talent.
The desire to perfect Marie Antoinette in the study of the French language was probably the motive which determined Maria Theresa to provide for her as teachers two French actors: Aufresne, for pronunciation and declamation, and Sainville, for taste in French singing; the latter had been an officer in France, and bore a bad character.
Joseph II., the elder Archduchess, and a few noblemen honoured by the confidence of Maria Theresa, composed the party; and reflections on the world, on courts, and the duties of princes were the usual topics of conversation.

Marie Antoniette, with a happy smile, gave her hand to her husband.
Marie Antoinette had won their hearts by refusing to accept the tax called "La ceinture de la reine." This tax was the perquisite of the Queen of France on her accession to the throne.
But having discovered that the nobles had managed to evade it and cast the burden of taxation upon the poor, Marie Antoinette had requested her husband's leave to relinquish her right to it.

Marie Antoinette looked after her, until the last traces of her long train had vanished, and the silk portiere had fallen in its place.
Count von Mercy looked toward the door, and having convinced himself that it was well closed, he drew from his pocket a package, and presented it to the queen.
He banished De Choiseul, Malesherbes, and Chalotais; and in their stead elevated the Maurepas, the D'Aiguillons, and that hateful Abbe Terray, who, for rapacity, were none of them better than Du Barry--and thus he ended by losing the love of his subjects.

It was in 1770 that he wrote his famous Lettres sur la liberté du commerce des grains, addressed to the controller-general, the Joseph Marie Terray.
Three of these letters have disappeared, having been sent to Louis XVI of France by Turgot at a later date and never recovered, but those remaining demonstrate that free trade in grain is to the interest of landowner, farmer and consumer alike, and in too forcible terms demand the removal of all restrictions.
Marie Antoinette disliked him for opposing the grant of favours to her proteges, and he had offended Gabrielle de Polastron, comtesse de Polignac in a similar manner.
