See also:PASQUIER, See also:ETIENNE See also:DENIS , Dunn (1767-1862), See also:French statesman, was See also:born on the 22nd of See also:April 1767. Descended from a See also:family which had See also:long been distinguished at the See also:bar and in connexion with the parlements of See also:France, he was destined for the legal profession and was educated at the See also:college of Juilly. He then became a counsellor of the See also:parlement of See also:Paris, and witnessed many of the incidents that marked the growing hostility between that See also:body and See also:- LOUIS
- LOUIS (804–876)
- LOUIS (893–911)
- LOUIS, JOSEPH DOMINIQUE, BARON (1755-1837)
- LOUIS, or LEWIS (from the Frankish Chlodowich, Chlodwig, Latinized as Chlodowius, Lodhuwicus, Lodhuvicus, whence-in the Strassburg oath of 842-0. Fr. Lodhuwigs, then Chlovis, Loys and later Louis, whence Span. Luiz and—through the Angevin kings—Hungarian
Louis XVI. in the years preceding the outbreak of the French Revolution in 1789. His views
were those of a moderate reformer, who desired to renovate but not to end the institutions of the old See also:monarchy; and his See also:memoirs set forth in a favourable See also:light the actions of that parlement, the existence of which was soon to be terminated amid the See also:political storms of the See also:close of the See also:year 1789. For some See also:- TIME (0. Eng. Lima, cf. Icel. timi, Swed. timme, hour, Dan. time; from the root also seen in " tide," properly the time of between the flow and ebb of the sea, cf. O. Eng. getidan, to happen, " even-tide," &c.; it is not directly related to Lat. tempus)

time, and especially during the Reign of Terror (1793–1794), Pasquier remained in obscurity; but this did not See also:save him from See also:arrest in the year 1794. He was thrown into See also:prison shortly before the coup d'etat of See also:Thermidor (See also:July 1794) which overthrew See also:Robespierre. In the reaction in favour of See also:ordinary See also:government which ensued Pasquier regained his See also:liberty and his estates. He did not re-enter the public service until the See also:period of the See also:Empire, when the See also:arch-See also:chancellor See also:Cambaceres used his See also:influence with See also:Napoleon to procure for him the See also:- OFFICE (from Lat. officium, " duty," " service," a shortened form of opifacium, from facere, " to do," and either the stem of opes, " wealth," " aid," or opus, " work ")
office of " maitre See also:des requetes " to the See also:council of See also:state. In 1809 he became See also:baron of the French Empire, and in See also:February 1810 counsellor of state. Napoleon in 1810 made him See also:prefect of See also:police. The See also:chief event which ruffled the course of his See also:life at that time was the See also:strange See also:conspiracy of the republican See also:general See also:Malet (Oct. 1812), who, giving out that Napoleon had perished in See also:Russia, managed to surprise and See also:capture some of the ministers and other authorities at Paris, among them Pasquier. The collapse of this bold See also:attempt enabled him, however, speedily to regain his liberty.
When Napoleon abdicated in April 1814 Pasquier continued to exercise his functions for a few days in See also:- ORDER
- ORDER (through Fr. ordre, for earlier ordene, from Lat. ordo, ordinis, rank, service, arrangement; the ultimate source is generally taken to be the root seen in Lat. oriri, rise, arise, begin; cf. " origin ")
- ORDER, HOLY
order to preserve order, and then resigned the prefecture of police, whereupon Louis XVIII. allotted to him the See also:control of roads and See also:bridges. He took no See also:share in the imperial restoration at the time of the See also:Hundred Days (1815), and after the second entry of Louis XVIII. into Paris he became See also:minister of the interior, but finding it impossible to See also:work with the hot-headed royalists of the Chamber of Deputies (La Cliambre introuvable), he resigned office. Under the more moderate ministers of succeeding years he again held various appointments, but refused to join the reactionary cabinets of the close of the reign of See also:Charles X. After the July Revolution (1830) he became See also:president of the Chamber of Peers —a See also:post which he held through the whole of the reign of Louis Philippe (183o-1848). In 1842 he was elected a member of the French See also:Academy, and in the same year was created a See also:duke. After the overthrow of Louis Philippe in February 1848, Pasquier retired from active life and set to work to compile the notes and reminiscences of his long and active career. He died in 1862.
