On 1793, August 8, it was suspended by the revolutionary Convention Nationale, when the latter decreed the abolition of "toutes les académies et sociétés littéraires patentées ou dotées par la Nation" [all academies and learned societies licensed or endowed by the Nation] (Institut de France (1995), p.299).
On the same date that the royal academies were suppressed, the comité d'instruction publique de la Convention was charged with preparing as soon as possible an organizational plan for a société destinée à l'avancement des science et des arts.

-- The French Academy is the official authority on the usages, vocabulary, and grammar of the French language
The Académie française (French Academy) is a learned body founded in 1570, when King Charles IX granted the charter of an "academy of Music and Poetry" to the poet Antoine de Baïf and a musician named Gourville, who named it the Académie française.
The Académie functioned informally until February 10, 1635, when Armand-Jean Cardinal Richelieu (minister of Louis XIII) formalised it into a national academy for the literati, and limited the number of its members.

 Académie Française
The foundation of the Academy is directly traceable to the meetings of men of science at the house of M. Courart—who, early in the seventeenth century, was for forty years its first secretary—but it unquestionably owes to Richelieu a habitation and a name.
It was formed with the special object of preserving accuracy in the French language, to which Frenchmen have been wont to pay an almost exclusive attention, but by the election of M. Lemoinne the Academy will have at least one member who is no less acquainted with another tongue.
It has been observed that the Débats almost exclusively supplies the Academy with its contingent of publicists—a circumstance accounted for by that journal being jealous of the purity of its language, and in other respects preserving a high and dignified standard.

Founded by Richelieu in 1635, l’Académie Française is actually one of the 5 academies of the Institut de France but is by far the most renowned of all.
And yet, in a country that has countless Royal Academies for everything, it is hard not to think that the British feel a certain envy for a comparable body.
As for the Académie Francaise, I like the institution, because, well, it is a very old and venerable thing, it´s a nice tradition to have it, and it does quite a lot of other things except watching over the language.
