Presently his imperialist views cooled, and at the Restoration he became See also:minister of See also:state and a peer of France. At the second Restoration he was for a brief See also:period minister of marine, but held no further See also:office. He devoted himself to the support of the Protestant See also:interest in France.

A member of the upper house throughout the reign of Louis Philippe, he was driven into private See also:

life by the establishment of the Second See also:Republic, but lived to see the Coup d'etat andto rally to the See also:government of Louis See also:Napoleon, dying in See also:Paris on the 5th of See also:February 1852.
