What is the name of this author?
score:1
I finally got the answer, not by research but from my friend. The person was:
Johann Wilhelm von Archenholz
He served as a company commander in the Seven Years' War. He was discharged from the army after being badly wounded in this war.
He has been a member of the Masonic lodge since the mid-1760s.
He fell off a horse in Rome in 1780, and one foot was permanently paralyzed.
He was threatened with guillotine in France and therefore left France and settled in Hamburg. Meanwhile, he wrote a book about the life of Gustav I of Sweden. (4th and 6th tips)
His writings about Felice Peretti di Montalto (Pope Sixtus V) are collected in the book 'Kleine historische Schriften' with adding 3 other titles. (This is not the book mentioned in the 4th tip :) )
He lived in Hamburg until his death, and in Hamburg there is a street (Archenholzstraße) named after his surname.
His most famous book 'England und Italie' made a huge impact in Europe. In the book, he compared the political situation of both countries and belittled Italy against England. Goethe harshly criticized this condescending attitude at that time.

Count J. A. Huebner roughly matches your description.
Hübner wrote both a famous book about Sixtus V and a famous memoir on Italian politics. He was not in the military but he was a diplomat. In his youth he worked for the Austrian intelligence. I don't know if he was ever wounded or threatened but in 1848 he was held hostage by the Milanese revolutionary government. He never spent a lot of time in one place, though, travelling extensively both on diplomatic missions and for his own pleasure. He died in Vienna. I couldn't find any better candidate.
