Marthe Camille Bachasson de Montalivet
Marthe Camille Bachasson, comte de Montalivet , (born April 24, 1801 in Valence , † January 4, 1880 at the Château de Lagrange in Saint-Bouize , Cher ), was a French statesman .
Bachasson de Montalivet was the son of the politician Jean-Pierre Bachasson de Montalivet , attended the École polytechnique and then at the École Nationale des Ponts et Chaussées . In 1823, through the death of his father and his older brother, he became peer , which he was only able to exercise from 1826 onwards. As a member and secretary of the society Aide-toi, le ciel t'aidera known to the heads of the liberal party, he was appointed Minister of the Interior on November 3, 1830, after the July Revolution under Jacques Laffitte .
His determination saved the accused ministers of Charles X from outbursts of anger among the people. On March 13, 1831 he was appointed Minister of Education , but after Casimir Pierre Périer's death in 1832 he resigned to his previous position as Minister of the Interior.
The bloody suppression of the unrest that broke out at Jean Maximilien Lamarque's funeral , in which over 200,000 people took part on June 5 and 6, 1832, and the declaration of the state of siege for the capital made his administration so hated that he resigned on October 11, 1832 . The king then appointed him director of the civil list .
From February to September 1836 he administered the Ministry of the Interior again and from April 1837 to March 1839 for the fourth time, after which he again took over the management of the civil list.
De Montalivet left the Palace of Versailles set a historic National Museum, enlarged the Louvre and was, among other things, the Fontainebleau castle , the Château de Pau and the castle of Saint-Cloud restored.
After the February Revolution of 1848 he withdrew into private life and only stepped forward to defend Louis-Philippe against the hateful attacks of the Bonapartists . He died on January 4th, 1880, at his Lagrange castle , after being elected to the Senate in 1879 .
