WI Marquis de Lafayette (successfully) prison breaks to USA?

So I don't think I knew this, but La Fayette -- the Frenchman Americans all know and love, and a not small deal in his own country either -- was captured by Prussian forces in 1792, trying to escape execution by his own countrymen, and spent the next five years as prisoner of the anti-French Coalition. However, in November 1794, there was an attempt to bust him out of prison (with, FWIU, none other than Anjelica Church -- yes, Hamilton's sister in law -- as a conspirator), so that he could escape to America; however, La Fayette was disoriented on escaping, got lost, and was recaptured in a matter of days. He was released in a negotiation (involving Napoleon) in 1797, but, when he refused to swear allegiance to the new regime headed by the Directory, saw his property taken and lived in European poverty and essentially without a country for several more years. He would not visit America again until 1820.

So my question -- what if this 1794 prison break was more successful? What does the Frenchman do, should he make it to his other country (career-wise, impact, relationships with US founding fathers, etc)? Does this do anything to complicate American neutrality; what about other potential effects?

If anyone wants to, we can also consider a PoD where the Marquis is never captured in the first place, and makes it out of France and Europe 1792.
 
He probably becomes an exile and influential figure in America, revered second to Washington. I could see him being against Jefferson.
 
Well, he was very close to Hamilton during the war; then again, FWIG, he also had a good relationship with Jefferson from when the latter was ambassador to France. I admit, Lafayette being in the same city as those two, at the height of their rivalry, is one of the more interesting things to imagine...
 
And what influence could have Lafayette in a possible British-American War?. In fact could the experiences of Lafayette with Revolutionary France (and I suppose that Lafayette would be not a friend of a possible French Empire) help to discorauge a possible British-American War?
 
Possibly, though considering that's 17 years down the line I'd say we should first see how his arrival affects US French (and US British) relations in the first decade or so.
 
Yet stayed loyal to France regardless. He is unlikely to even want to go for the US, IOTL he refused to visit it for fear to never be able to come back France.
Certainly this made the probabilities of travelling to USA low. Interesting information, la France c'est la France although the french government gives Lafayette little apart of annoyances.

In the late 1700s, the final French Revolutionary government, the Directory, was experiencing problems financing its European wars. Many leaders were also angry that the United States had concluded the Jay Treaty with Great Britain in 1794. Consequently, in 1796 French leaders decided to issue an order allowing for the seizure of American merchant ships, carefully timed to catch as many as possible by surprise.
Now, this is the U.S. Department of State, which is going to tend to be a more official view of history shall we say. ;-)

Although in http://www.napoleon-series.org/ it is more or less mentioned the fact although is not indicated with the sentence of "carefully timed to catch as many as possible by surprise".
At http://www.napoleon-series.org/research/government/diplomatic/c_quasi.html it is indicated "The French had terminated diplomatic relations with America and robbed around three hundred American ships in the years before John Adams became the President of the United States"
