Government Louis Mathieu Mole (1)

The first ministry Molé is the tenth ministry for the Monarchie of July, formed the September 6th 1836 under the presidency of Louis-Mathieu Molé to succeed the first ministry Thiers. Cash 8 members, it remains in functions until the April 15th 1837.

Constitution

The August 26th 1836, Louis-Philippe I {{er}} receives Molé with the Château of Neuilly and recalls to Paris Guizot and Duchâtel, which was on their grounds in the countryside. During several days, it will try to insert the three men with Montalivet in a ministerial combination, but the refusal of Montalivet to pass from the Interior to the State education makes the thing impossible.

It is only the September 6th which the ministry is officially installed. With Mole, the king has finally the President of the Council which it had wished for several years. The cabinet is entirely renewed compared to the preceding team. The new chief of the ministry takes the wallet of the Foreign affairs, while Guizot finds the State education and installs inside one of his/her best friends, Gasparin, shouldered of an under-secretary of State, Rémusat, that one will not be long in calling “on-secretary of State so much” it will deploy activity, while an other of his/her friends, Duchâtel, takes Finances. Persil finds the Chancellery. New heads make their appearance with the War (the general Bernard), with the Navy (the admiral de Rosamel: a “idiotic franc”, according to Rémusat) and with the Trade and Public works (Martin of North).

Constituted whereas the rooms are on vacation, the new ministry is badly accommodated by the press. One likes oneself it should be noted that one finds there none the heads of poster of the Révolution of 1830. The personalities which compose it are not very considerable and, for the majority, little known: “substitutes”, comments on Rémusat. The ministry is also weakened, from the start, by the mistrust and the antipathy which exist between Molé and Guizot and which will be transformed ineluctably into hostility because the second, if it were satisfied with a station of second plan, account to control well in writing pad while resting on Gasparin and Duchâtel, whereas the first intends to lead a personal policy. Guizot, observes Rémusat, “granted to Molé only spirit of conversation and a social good position. Mole recognized in Guizot only the talent of the word and was believed more skilful and more popular than him. ” On these fragile bases, the divorce appears inevitable.

End

At the beginning of 1837, the relations between Mole and Guizot worsen. Mole complains with the baron de Barante to be maltreated by Guizot: “You know the pride and the character of each one… There remained two roads open in front of the same character, that of the frankest union with me, that of the tactic of a competition constantly covered of appearances which one believes skilful. It is the latter which was preferred…” With the same correspondent, it scoffs the Doctrinaires bitterly: “It is a singular variety of the mankind: political selfishness is carried there to a degree which does not leave any more but very little of place for justice, sympathy, the truth. ” And with respect to the king, he groans against “doctrinary hatreds which continue” and holds up the threat, hardly buckled, of the resignation if his/her colleagues persist in not supporting it, even betray it.

After the payment, the January 18th 1837, participants, as well civil as military, with the attempt at rising of Strasbourg by Louis-Napoleon Bonaparte in October 1836, the government files in a bill known as “of disjunction”, which provides that the participants in a political plot will be returned either indistinctly in front of the ordinary courts, but civilians in front of the ordinary courts and soldiers in front of the military tribunals. This project is rejected by the House of Commons by two votes of majority the March 7th 1837 (211 votes against 209). Guizot and Molé mutually return the responsibility for this failure, while the press reproaches the cabinet for not resigning after being put in minority.

The end is from now on close. The government does not manage to make adopt a bill of prerogative for the duke of Nemours and a bearing bill allowance for the dowry of the queen of the Belgians, and it is constrained to withdraw them. The paralysis of the ministry from now on is proven. Louis-Philippe begins his consultations the March 7th in order to form a new ministry, which is officially made up the April 15th.
