king of the See also:French, was See also:born at Neuilly on the 14th of See also:August 1818. He was educated for the See also:navy, and became See also:lieutenant in 1836. His first conspicuous service was at the See also:bombardment of See also:San Juan de Ulloa, in See also:November 1838, when he headed a landing party and took the Mexican See also:general Arista prisoner with his own See also:hand at See also:Vera Cruz. He was promoted See also:captain, and in 1840 was entrusted with the See also:charge of bringing the remains of See also:Napoleon from St See also:Helena to See also:France. In 1844 he conducted See also:naval operations on the See also:coast of See also:Morocco, bombarding See also:Tangier and occupying See also:Mogador, and was recompensed with the grade of See also:vice-See also:admiral. In the following See also:year he published in the Revue See also:des deux mondes an See also:article on the deficiencies of the French navy which attracted considerable See also:attention, and by his hostility to the See also:Guizot See also:ministry, as well as by an affectation of See also:ill-will towards See also:Great See also:Britain, he gained consider-able popularity. The revolution of 1848 nevertheless swept him away with the other Orleans princes. He hastened to quit See also:Algeria, where he was then serving, and took See also:refuge at See also:Claremont, in See also:Surrey, with the See also:rest of his See also:family. In 1861, upon the breaking out of the See also:American See also:Civil See also:War, he proceeded to See also:Washington, and placed the services of his son and two of his nephews at the disposal of the See also:United States See also:government. Otherwise, he was little heard of until the overthrow of the See also:Empire in 187o, when he re-entered France, only to be promptly expelled by the government of See also:national See also:defence. Returning incognito, he joined the See also:army of General d'Aurelle de Paladines, under the assumed name of See also:Colonel Lutherod, fought bravely before Orleans, and afterwards, divulging his identity, formally sought permission to serve. Gambretta, however, arrested him and sent him back to See also:England. In the National See also:Assembly, elected in See also:February 1871, the prince was returned by two departments and elected to sit for the Haute See also:Marne, but, by an arrangement with See also:Thiers, did
not take his seat until the latter had been chosen See also:president of the provincial See also:republic. His deafness prevented him from making any figure in the assembly, and he resigned his seat in 1876. In 1886 the provisions of the See also:law against pretenders to the See also:throne deprived him of his See also:rank as vice-admiral, but he continued to live in France, and died in See also:Paris on the 16th of See also:June 1900. He had married in 1843 the princess Francisca, See also:sister of Pedro II., See also:emperor of See also:Brazil, and had a son; the duc de Penthievre (born in 1845), also brought up to the navy, and a daughter Francoise (1844- ) who married the duc de See also:Chartres in 1863.
The prince de Joinville was the author of several essays and See also:pamphlets on naval affairs and other matters of public See also:interest, which were originally published for the most See also:part either unsigned or pseudonymously, and subsequently republished under his own name after the fall of the Empire. They include Essais sur la marine francaise (1853); Etudes sur la marine (1859 and 187o); La Guerre d'Amerique, See also:cam pagne du See also:Potomac (1862 and 1872); Encore un mot sur See also:Sadowa (See also:Brussels, 1868); and Vieux souvenirs (1894).
