Nicolas CHANGARNIER (1793-1877) general and politician. 3 L.S. "Ch." on each page (the 1st marked "Copy"), 1852-1858; 16 1/2 pages in-4. Three long letters from the outlaw on his relations with the two branches of the monarchy, the Count of Chambord and the Orléans. Aix-la-Chapelle September 6, 1852, to the Marquise Charles de Ganay. He summarizes the "piquant picture of submission, resignation" of France, according to Rémusat, cousin of the marquise, and complains that she has wrongly defended him "to be a sphynx, an ambitious because Frohsdorf was not understood in my itinerary"... He recalls his positions since 1848: "sober words" as commander of the Paris division and the National Guard, "Christ" in the Legislative Assembly, most of whose members abandoned and betrayed him, and did not listen to his advice.He cites among his opponents Berryer, Salvandy, Falloux, blames "the disastrous campaign of the revision" of the Constitution and faults that lost the Assembly and led him into exile. Since then, he has been asked by the Duke of Aumale, the Duchess of Orleans and the Count of Chambord, and he has said to both parties: "In the presence of an ignoble and insolent despotism the republicans, if there are any of good faith enough to recognize that their utopia is odious to France, and the Royalists of all shades should rally to show our country the hope of a regular, free, and strong government that the monarchy represented by the Count of Chambord surrounded and seconded by his cousins can alone give it."-Facing "L.B.", the two branches should already be reconciled... He underlines the importance of a formal agreement and recalls the difficult negotiations and the errors of Chambord... Malines January 4, 1853, to the count Paul de Périgord. "I refused my advice neither to Froshdorf, nor to Claremont but one tires of everything, even to speak to deaf people"... However he considers that the count of Chambord himself ignores the inalienable character of the legitimacy, and that even those who made the revolution of 1830 should try to win partisans without making them undergo an interrogation on their political catechism... That the Count of Chambord refused to open his door to the Orleanists "before they had recited their confiteor" is a lamentable fault... He justifies the title of Queen of Marie-Amélie... Brussels 24 October 1858, to Philippe-Bernard de Laguiche. Text of an answer to make to the critics: "By refusing to make, to modern France, the concession of the flag which it prefers because it is not that of the old regime; by showing himself offended when one gives, to his aunt, the title of Queen, Mr. the count of Chambord dismissed the men who wished the reconciliation, the coalition of the royalists of all the nuances, without excluding the disillusioned republicans. He remains exclusively the leader of the pure legitimism, and the general Changarnier does not want to make an act of adhesion to this party "... One P.S. is joined, Paris January 11, 1861 : " Note for the use of those of my friends to whom one asks of which party the general Changarnier is " (3 p. and quarter in-fol., upper edge frayed).
