The October 30th 1836, the prince Louis-Napoleon Bonaparte, with a handle of accomplices, carries out a attempt at rising of Strasbourg . He hopes to raise the garrison and, then, to go on Paris and to reverse the Monarchie of July.

Since the Suisse, where it resides with its mother at the Château of Arenenberg, it organizes its networks in France, and prepares its takeover.
Its plan is to raise a garrison and to go on Paris, by gathering on its passage the troops and the populations, on the model of the return of the isle of Elba in 1814. It throws its reserved on Strasbourg, important military, easily accessible place since the Germany and, especially, town of left and patriot.
On the spot, the heart of the plot is colonel Vaudrey, who orders the 4 {{E}} regiment of artillery, in which Napoleon Bonaparte was used for Toulon in 1793, and which is estimated badly treated by the monarchy of July.
The operation is committed the October 30th 1836 in the morning. It turns short almost at once. The prince and his accomplices are stopped.
The king Louis and the uncles of the young prince condemn the operation at once. The queen Hortense writes with Louis-Philippe to suggest to him letting his/her son leave France. The king convinces his government which, apart from any legal procedure, makes lead the prince to Lorient where, provided with an amount of money, it is embarked on Andromède the November 21st 1836 bound for the the United States of America, where it will be unloaded the March 30th 1837.
During this time, its accomplices are judged with Strasbourg in front of the Court of Assizes, and are discharged by the jury, under the acclamations of the public, the January 18th 1837.
