See also:PYAT, See also:FELIX (1810-1889) , See also:French Socialist, was See also:born at See also:Vierzon (See also:Cher) on the 4th of See also:October 181o, the son of a Legitimist lawyer. Called to the See also:bar in See also:Paris in 1831, he threw his whole energies into journalism. The violent personalities of a pamphlet entitled See also:Marie See also:Joseph See also:Chenier et le See also:prince See also:des critiques (1844), in reply to Jules See also:Janin, brought him a six months' sojourn in La Pelagie, in the See also:cell just quitted by See also:Lamennais. He worked with other dramatists in a See also:long See also:series of plays, with an See also:interval of six years on the See also:National, until the revolution of 1848. See also:George See also:Sand, whom he had introduced in 183o to the See also:staff of the See also:Figaro, now asked Ledru-See also:Rollin to make him See also:commissary-See also:general of the Cher. After three months' See also:tenure of this See also:office he was returned by the See also:department to the Constituent See also:Assembly, where he voted with the See also:Mountain, and brought forward the celebrated See also:motion for the abolition of the presidential office. About this See also:time he fought a See also:duel with See also:Proudhon, who had called him the " aristocrat of the See also:democracy." He joined Ledru-Rollin in the See also:attempt of the 13th of See also:June 1849, after which he sought See also:refuge in See also:Switzerland, See also:Belgium, and finally in See also:England. For a glorification of See also:regicide on the occasion of the See also:Orsini attempt against See also:Napoleon III. he was brought before an See also:English See also:court, but acquitted, and the general See also:amnesty of 1869 permitted his return to See also:France, but further outbursts against the authorities, followed by See also:prosecution, compelled him to return to England. The revolution of the 4th of See also:September brought him back to Paris, and it was he who in his See also:paper Le Combat displayed a See also:black-edged announcement of the pourparlers for the surrender of See also:Metz. After the insurrection of the 31st of October he was imprisonedfor a See also:short time. In See also:January 1871, Le Combat was suppressed,only to be followed by an equally virulent Vengeur. Elected to the National Assembly, he retired from See also:Bordeaux with See also:Henri See also:Rochefort and others until such time as the ". parricidal " See also:vote for See also:peace should be annulled. He returned to Paris to join the See also:committee of public safety, and, in See also:Hanotaux's words, was the ante ulceree of the See also:Commune, but was blamed for the loss of the fort of Issy. He was superseded there by See also:Delescluze, but he continued to See also:direct the violent acts of the Commune, the overthrow of the See also:Vendome See also:column, the'destruction of See also:Thiers's See also:residence and of the expiatory See also:chapel built to the memory of See also: Additional information and CommentsThere are no comments yet for this article.
