[edit] Purchase of Rank

I removed the sentence "In 1789 he also purchased the rank of a general of artillery from the Saxon minister, Heinrich von Brühl, for 20,000 ducats. " from the text because there has to be a mistake here. Heinrich v. Brühl died in 1763, so he couldn't have sold anything to Stanislaw Potocki in 1789. So either S.P. bought it from someone else (who ?) or he didn't buy anthing at all. Maybe someone with expert knowledge can fix this. Travelbird 07:24, 17 June 2006 (UTC)
