Arthur de La Guéronnière
Louis Étienne Arthur Dubreuil-Hélion, vicomte de La Guéronnière (born April 5, 1816 in Le Dorat , † December 23, 1875 in Paris ) was a French diplomat and publicist .
La Guéronnière worked until 1848 as a journalist for the legitimist party , to which the traditions of his family led him.
When the February Revolution broke out , Alphonse de Lamartine, a friend of his, appointed him first secretary, took charge of the newly founded newspaper Le bien public and, since this was back in after barely six months, he was the editor of the journal L'Ère nouvelle , which, however, was soon suppressed by the clergy as well.
La Guéronnière then became one of the main editors of the press , but in 1851 shortly before the coup d'état, he was the chief editor of the Pays .
Since December 2nd he suddenly appeared as an admirer of Ludwig Napoleon . In March 1852 he became a member of the legislative body, in 1853 of the State Council, since the establishment of the Empire he was a member of the permanent examination committee, which had to examine the latest press products, and wrote the official articles in the Constitutionnel and Pays on the solution of the Russo-Turkish question.
In February 1859, he predicted the impending catastrophe of the Sardinian War in Italy in his pamphlet Napoléon III et l'Italie . Furthermore, with the official brochure La France, Rome et l'Italie in February 1861 , he re-stimulated the discussion of the question of the secular rule of the Pope .
In 1861 he was appointed senator and in 1862 took over the management of the journal La France , which strove to combine imperialist with clerical interests. In 1868 he was appointed envoy in Brussels and began negotiations on the Belgian railways, which were later unsuccessful.
He defended the amendment to the constitution and the plebiscite of 1870 with elegant speeches in the Senate. In 1870 he was appointed ambassador to Istanbul , but was released again in 1871.
His last work was Le droit public et l'Europe modern (Paris 1875). The historian Alfred de La Guéronnière was his brother.
