 | | He was minister of public instruction in the short-lived cabinet of May 19 1873, and in 1876, having been elected senator for the Aisne, he was again entrusted by Dufaure with the ministry of public instruction, with which, as a Protestant, he was not permitted to combine the ministry of public worship. |
 | | He continued to hold office under Jules Simon, with whom he was overthrown on the famous seize mai (16 May, 1877). |
 | | The cession of Cyprus to the United Kingdom was at first denounced by the French newspapers as a great blow to his diplomacy, but he obtained, in a conversation with Lord Salisbury, a promise that the United Kingdom in return would allow France a free hand in Tunis. |
