His eminence, who was born at Naples, Sep. 10th, 1744, distinguished himself by his financial talents during the pontificate of Pius VI, by whom he had been appointed treasurer general to the Roman see. Although a churchman, he had no disinclination for military affairs. In 1799, he undertook the perilous task of reconquering Naples from the French, and notwithstanding that he landed at Reggio with only three men, such was the enthusiasm he excited, that he collected twenty-five thousand to his standard, with which force he encamped before the walls of Naples, and the city capitulated to him. In 1801, he was appointed minister plenipotentiary from the king of Naples to the court of Rome. After the imprisonment of Pius VII at Savona, Napoleon invited the cardinal to Paris, and bestowed on him the cross of the legion of honour. He returned to Rome with the pope in 1814. Ruffo was a man of very energetic mind, and also of much in formation, particularly with regard to the subject of political economy, which he understood more profoundly than almost any of his countrymen. During the latter years of his life, he resided chiefly on his estates in the kingdom of Naples, where he devoted his time to planting and agriculture.
