First ministry for the reign of Louis-Philippe Ier

The first ministry for the reign of Louis-Philippe I {{er}} is made up the August 11th 1830. It includes/understands 11 members and does not comprise a President of the Council in title.

Constitution

The August 9th 1830, Louis-Philippe of Orleans, hitherto general lieutenant of the kingdom, becomes king of the French under the name of Louis-Philippe I {{er}}. It alters then, the August 11th, the provisional ministry which it had named it in order to give him a final character. The ministry does not comprise a president of the Council bus Louis-Philippe intends to exert itself this function.

This design of the royal government, worthy of the Old Mode, is also translated in the fact that the king, as under old monarchy, associates his oldest son, Ferdinand-Philippe of Orleans, become royal prince and duke of Orleans, with the meetings of the Council of Ministers. It takes part in it indeed, exclaiming against the discussions which it considers oiseuses, or being caught of nozzle with the doctrinary ones, vis-a-vis which it wants to incarnate revolutionary and liberal youth.

Four ministers preserve their wallets: Guizot inside, Dupont of the Eure to Justice, Gerard with the War.

The marshal Jourdan is replaced by the count Molé with the Foreign affairs, while the duke of Broglie returns to the State education to replace the baron Bignon, while receiving in more the Worships and the presidency of the Council of State. The general-count Sébastiani replaces the admiral de Rigny with the Navy.

Four are also named ministers without portfolio: Casimir Perier, Jacques Laffitte, Andre Dupin and Louis Pierre Edouard Bignon.

The ministry seeks to join together all the colors of the political rainbow of the Révolution of July: Dupont of the Eure, near to Fayette which began its political career with the Conseil of the Five hundred under the Directoire, brings his guarantee to the republicans; vis-a-vis Guizot and of Broglie, figures of the doctrinary opposition (of right-hand side), Sébastiani, Laffitte and Perier incarnate the liberal opposition (of left) to the Restoration. Gerard and Sébastiani, Bignon and Molé occupied of high positions under the Empire, soldiers for the two first, civil for the two last. Moreover, Gerard is a close relation of the family of Orleans since he married a grand-daughter of the countess of Genlis. Louis is a recognized technician of the financial matter, who reassures the bank and the purse, and it moreover one is protected from Talleyrand. Dupin is the lawyer of the king and will be the principal figure of the Third Left under monarchy July.

Composition

End

The tensions are inevitable which will tear a ministry made up of personalities to the too dissimilar options, whose dissensions will burst at the once fallen down great day revolutionary enthusiasm.

The element detonator will be the question of the fate of the ministers of Charles X responsible for the Ordonnances of Saint-Cloud. Republican left and revolutionary request which they are judged for high treason and like persons in charge of the victims of the Glorious Three, which would condemn them to a death almost some. The king and the majority of the deputies wish to avoid such an exit.

The revolutionists activate themselves within the many popular clubs which flowered after the Révolution of July and multiply strikes, demonstrations, riots even. This agitation irritates a vast majority of citizens, who await government that it restores the order. But whereas it, Dupont Minister of Justice of the Eure, historical republican, refuses to continue revolutionary associations, the Minister of Interior Department, Guizot, answering on September 25th an interpellation with the House of Commons, posts an attitude of firmness: appears thus at the great day what will be one of fundamental cleavages of the political life under the monarchy of July, the confrontation of the party “of the movement” and of the party of “resistance” (with the movement).

As of the September 25th 1830, the government coalition thus burst and the government is in deferment. The House of Commons is divided between contradictory movements: it approves the speech of firmness of Guizot but does not manage to conclude the debate on the clubs; she votes the committal for trial of the ministers of Charles X (September 27th) but vote also an address inviting the king to present a bill abolishing the capital punishment (October 8th). Agitation reaches a top with the riot of the 17 and October 18th, during which demonstrators walk towards the Château of Vincennes, where the ministers of Charles X are held, that the general Daumesnil courageously refuses to deliver to them.

Guizot, of Broglie and Perier then require the revocation of the Préfet of the Seine, the republican Odilon Barrot, who, in a proclamation with Parisian, qualified “inappropriate step” the address of the House of Commons asking for the abolition of the capital punishment. Dupont of the Eure threatens to resign if Deck-beam is revoked. Laffitte is offered to untie the crisis while becoming president of the Council, but Guizot and of Broglie refuse to sit under its presidency and resign, followed soon by Perier, Dupin, Molé and Louis.

The November 2nd 1830, the first ministry for the reign of Louis-Philippe I {{er}} is replaced by the Gouvernement of Jacques Laffitte.
