When the Belgian Revolution began in August 1830, d'Hooghvorst became head of the National Guard, was involved in old incidents and became a member of the Provisional Government . From February 1831 he was in command of all Belgian national guards and in 1833 became civil governor of Antwerp . From 1807 to 1866 he was mayor of Meise .
