Commentary
Pierre Auguste Adet, né à Nevers le 17 mai 1763, mort à Paris le 19 mars 1834, est un diplomate et un administrateur français.
Chimiste et préparateur de Lavoisier, Pierre Auguste Adet est docteur-régent de la Faculté de médecine de Paris.
Il s'engage dans l'Administration et dans la politique. Grâce à son collègue Jean Henri Hassenfratz, lui aussi préparateur chez Lavoisier, il est nommé par la Convention membre de l'Agence des mines, donc du Corps des mines où il reste peu de temps (du 29 juillet au 22 septembre 1794).
Il est alors nommé ambassadeur aux États-Unis d'Amérique en 1795. Il s'illustre un an plus tard en irritant l'opinion publique américaine lors de la crise opposant les États-Unis et la France à propos des navires sous pavillon neutre. Il quitte ce poste en 1797.
