  Louis XVIII of France - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
Louis-Stanislas-Xavier was born on November 18, 1755 in the Palace of Versailles, Versailles, France, the fourth son of Louis, dauphin de France and Marie-Josèphe of Saxony, and grandson of Louis XV of France and his Queen consort Maria Leszczyńska.
At birth, he received the title of Comte de Provence but after his brother's accession to the throne he was generally known as "Monsieur," the standard title of the eldest brother of the King.
However, the assassination of the Duc de Berry, the ultrareactionary son of Louis's ultrareactionary brother (and heir-presumptive) the Comte d'Artois, in February 1820, caused Decazes's fall from power and the Triumph of the Ultras.

 DECAZES
He studied law, became a judge in the tribunal of the Seine in 1806, was attached to the cabinet of Louis Bonaparte in 1807, and was counsel to the court of appeal at Paris in 1811.
At first, as minister of police he had to suppress the insurrections provoked by the ultra Royalists (the White Terror); then, after the resignation of the duc de Richelieu, he took the actual direction of the ministry, although the nominal president was General JJPA Dessolle (1767-1828).
Decazes was denounced as the new Sejanus, the modern Catiline; and when, on February 13, the duke of Berry was murdered, clamorous tongues loudly accused him of being an accomplice in the crime.

His formula was "to royalize France and to nationalize the monarchy." The Moderates were in a minority in the chamberof 1815, but Decazes persuaded Louis XVIII to dissolve the house, and the elections ofOctober 1816 gave them a majority.
The exclusion of Grégoire from the chamber and the changes in the franchise embittered the Radicals without reconciling the "Ultras." The news of therevolution in Spain in January 1820 made matters worse; the foolish and criminal policy of the royal favourite had begun anotherrevolution.

 The Failed Restration of 1873   (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-11-06)
Certainly Decazes and Haussonville hoped that the Comte de Chambord would now abdicate to the Comte de Paris and thus effect the Orléanist restoration that they had always sought; the Comte de Paris himself said nothing in the face of this disastrous blow to reconciliation and restoration.
The Comte de Chambord was now faced with a fateful choice and, fully conscious of the reality of the political divisions even among the monarchists, despite his gesture to the Comte de Paris, decided to reject the uncertain compromise.
The Comte de Chambord in his will of 5 July 1883 had named his nephew the duke of Parma his universal heir, with the reserve for the enjoyment first of his widow, with many individual legacies to other family members, including the duke of Madrid, who was bequeathed the collars of the Orders.

He was born in Paris, the son of Louis Antoine du Plessis, duc de Fronsac and grandson of the marshal de Richelieu (1696-1788).
The comte de Chinon, as the heir to the Richelieu honors was called, was married at fifteen to Rosalie de Rochechouart, a deformed child of twelve, with whom his relations were never more than formal.
After the murder of the duc de Berry and the enforced retirement of Decazes, he again became president of the council (February 21, 1821); but his position was untenable owing to the attacks of the Ultras on the one side and the Liberals on the other, and on December 12 he again resigned.

 July Revolution   (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-11-06)
Martignac's accession to power, however, had only meant personal concessions from Charles X, not any concession of principle: he supported his ministry but was no real stand-by.
The Liberals, on the other hand, made bargains for supporting the moderate royalists, and Charles X profited by this to form a fighting ministry in conjunction with the prince de Polignac, one of the émigrés, an ignorant and visionary person, and the comte de Bourmont, the traitor of Waterloo.
Despite all kinds of warnings, de Polignac tried by a coup d'état to put into practice his theories of the supremacy of the royal prerogative: and the Battle of Navarino, the French occupation of the Morea, and the Algerian expedition could not make the nation forget this conflict at home.

Louis-Stanislas-Xavier was born on November 17, 1755 in the Palace of Versailles, Versailles, France, the fourth son of Louis, dauphin de France, and grandson of King Louis XV and Marie Leszczynska.
King Louis' chief ministers were at first moderate, including Talleyrand, the Duc de Richelieu, and Élie Decazes, and Louis himself followed a cautious, moderate policy, hoping that moderation would insure the continuation of the dynasty.
However, the liberals ultimately proved just as unmanageable,, and by 1820 Decazes and the King were looking to revise the electoral laws again to insure a more conservative majority.

Made chief minister of France by King Louis XVIII after the Hundred Days (1815), he secured the quick payment by France of the indemnity imposed by the second Treaty of Paris (1815) and thus hastened the evacuation of occupation troops.
In his domestic policy, Richelieu favored leniency toward the ex-revolutionists and Bonapartists, thus displeasing the ultraroyalists headed by the king’s brother, the comte d’Artois (later King Charles X).
Richelieu resigned in 1818, but returned to power in 1820, after the murder of the duc de Berry caused the fall of Élie Decazes.

He was not comfortable with the ultra-Protestant environment of the city and spent most of his time behind the palace walls, although he was by no means rude to the locals.
Communication between Charles and his surviving brother, the Comte de Provence, living in Lithuania, was particularly strained once it became apparent that Charles was utterly indifferent to his brother's financial problems.
However, the liberal, bourgeois-controlled Chamber of Deputies refused to confirm the Comte de Chambord as Henri V. In a vote largely boycotted by conservative deputies, the body declared the French throne vacant, and elevated Louis-Philippe, duc d'Orleans, to power.

Among the many attempts of Charles and Villèle to reestablish elements of the ancien régime, as the prerevolutionary order is called, the law (1825) indemnifying the émigrés for lands confiscated during the Revolution and measures increasing the power of the clergy met with particular disapproval.

Forced to flee once more on the news of the return of Napoleon I, he returned with the allies (1815) after the defeat at Waterloo had ended Napoleon’s rule of a Hundred Days.

And so on January 13, Elie Decazes, Minister of the Interior, presented to Louis XVIII plan for the fifth national exposition, to take place in the Louvre over the course of some 36 days.
Decazes sent out circulars to the prefects of all districts in France, stipulating in general terms what kind of products would be acceptable for the exposition.
In spite of the self-congratulatory notices appended to all the official reports of the exposition, at least one voice was raised – anonymously – that questioned the management and the supposed glorious effects of the exposition.

Louis was the fourth son of the dauphin Louis, the son of Louis XV, and received the title comte de Provence; after the death of his two elder brothers and the accession of his remaining elder brother as Louis XVI in 1774, he became heir presumptive.
With little concern for the safety of Louis XVI and Marie-Antoinette, who were held captive in Paris, the Comte de Provence issued uncompromising counterrevolutionary manifestos, organized émigré associations, and sought the support of other monarchs in the fight against the Revolution.
Influenced by his favourite, Élie Decazes, who became prime minister in 1819, the King opposed the extremism of the ultras, who were determined to wipe out every vestige of the Revolution, and he dissolved the parliament in September 1816.
