Alexander Teixeira de Mattos translation
Charles Le Mercher de Longpré, Baron d'Haussez (1778-1854), Minister of Marine in the Polignac Cabinet, fled from France in 1830 and went to England, where he wrote his Grande Bretagne en 1833, the work referred to. Subsequently he travelled in Holland, Germany and Italy, describing his journey in the Voyage d'un exilé (1835) and in Alpes et Danube (1837). He returned to France in consequence of the political amnesty decreed in 1837.—T.
