Whereas the contribution of left-wing refugees to British politics and diplomacy during the Victorian era has been considered at length by numerous historians, the relationships which their right-wing counterparts formed with British politicians and the diplomatic concerns which they created have found little attention. This thesis seeks to redress this imbalance by analysing an overlooked but nevertheless important series of networks and controversies in which these exiles became involved during the tumultuous middle years of the nineteenth century. The study first considers the largely diplomatic implications of the presence of the former Charles X of France and his court in Britain during 1830-32, before turning to the difficulties and opportunities which both the Carlist and Miguelite pretenders and their refugee supporters presented for British governments and politicians alike throughout the 1830s and 1840s. The next three chapters consider the apogee of refugee influence over British politics during the years 1848-50, when the victims of the European revolutions of 1848 intrigued with allies in both Britain and continental Europe alike. The final two chapters then chart the rise of the refugee Orléans branch of the French royal family into highly-regarded political actors, whilst considering the diplomatic implications of their presence in Britain. This study suggests that whereas left-wing refugees boasted a modest political legacy and provoked several international controversies, those of the right not only enflamed diplomatic dispute but often actively intervened in British high politics. It therefore posits that refugees played a far wider and more important role in nineteenth-century Britain than previously noted. 2 Contents Acknowledgements 4 1. Introduction 5 2.

But although the histories of the émigrés of the French ancien regime and later liberal and radical refugees have been charted, the right-wing refugees of the mid-nineteenth century have been ignored, in spite of their high contemporary profile. 2 After the French July Revolution of 1830, Charles X and his court fled to Britain; his successor Louis Philippe, along with his court and ministers, most notably François Guizot, made the same journey after another revolution in 1848; and in the flurry of revolutions that followed, the Orleanist exiles were joined by the fallen Austrian Chancellor Prince Metternich and the Prince of Prussia (later Wilhelm I of Germany).3 Others arrived at different junctures. The Spanish pretender Don Carlos sought refuge after military defeat in 1834, only to escape and wage civil war whilst fellow-exiles intrigued in his favour; Carlos’ son Count Montemolin escaped house arrest in France in 1846, to promote his claim to the Spanish throne; and the fallen Portuguese usurper Dom Miguel fled from Rome in 1847 with the hope of exploiting civil war in Portugal. Further French politicians including Adolphe Thiers arrived after President Louis Napoleon’s coup d’état in December 1851. Among the most high-profile of these refugees, only the Orléans branch of the French royal family resided in Britain for a decade or more. Nevertheless, these exiles possessed either the political capital to influence British politicians, or enough support abroad to create diplomatic concerns, or indeed both. One of Charles X’s advisers could have precipitated war with France; Don Carlos’ escape escalated civil conflict in Spain; Dom Miguel’s departure would have 1 The words ‘refugee’ and ‘exile’ were used interchangeably. 2 i.e. Burrows, Simon , French Exile Journalism and European Politics, 1792-1814 (Woodbridge, 2000); Carpenter, Kirsty, Refugees of the French Revolution: The French émigrés in London, 1789- 1802 . (Basingstoke, 1999); Carpenter, Kirsty and Mansel, Philip (eds.), The French Émigrés in Europe and the Struggle against Revolution, 1789-1814 (Basingstoke, 1999); Weiner, Margery, The French Exiles, 1789-1815 (London, 1960); the historiography concerning left-wing refugees is discussed below. 3 Mayer, A.J., The Persistence of the Old Regime: Europe to the Great War (London, 1981), p.109 5 precipitated British military intervention in Portugal and probably the defeat of Lord John Russell’s Whig government; the victims of the Revolutions of 1848 intrigued with British allies; and the Orléans became highly esteemed by British politicians. 4 Although not a homogeneous community, right-wing refugees were certainly conspicuous. Their actions and ambitions often threatened to create controversy both at Westminster and in the councils of Europe. The question of which refugees might be considered “right-wing” poses some difficulties. Even the words ‘liberal’ and ‘conservative’ were rarely used to describe British politicians, who were elected under myriad labels, until the 1830s. The terms right- and left-wing were not applied to British politics until the late 19th century. Yet they were used in relation to French politics, and would have been understood by informed Britons. 5 Charles X, Metternich, Dom Miguel and Don Carlos can easily be classified as reactionaries or absolutists – opponents of popular government, and thus firmly on the “right”. But although Montemolin claimed to be a liberal, appearances can be deceptive. Montemolin’s professions have been dismissed by historians, whereas his radical brother and successor Juan was rejected by the reactionary Carlist movement. 6 Similarly, although both the Orléans and their supporters retained liberal pretensions, historians have identified the Orléans and their followers as right-wing, and questioned the authenticity of their liberalism. 7 Roger Magraw and Pamela Pilbeam emphasise that the Orléans represented an oligarchic and elitist political system, and Theodore Zeldin suggests that Orleanism in practice and in theory were two very distinct things. Supported by a wealthy, propertied electorate, Louis Philippe’s “liberal” regime soon became somewhat authoritarian and elitist. It has also been described as a ‘failed right-wing experiment’, and even the ostensibly liberal Guizot 4 Bamford, Francis and the Duke of Wellington (eds.), The Journal of Mrs. Arbuthnot (2 Vols., London, 1950), 8 August 1830, ii p.377; Holt, Edgar, The Carlist Wars in Spain (London, 1967), ch.5- 6; Ridley, Jasper, Lord Palmerston (London, 1972), pp.431-33; Simpson, M.C.M.

This distinction is complicated by the role which Orleanists played after 1848. Although they defended the “social order” against the French Second Republic, Orleanists later espoused parliamentary government during the authoritarian regime of Napoleon III, and thereby ‘rediscovered the virtues of liberalism’.

Florence was on his half-way from Rome to Turin, two centers of the springing Risorgimento, where after long strivings the prince Czartoryski’s right hand man managed to obtain agreements about the formation of Polish Legions. It must have been soon after when Zamoyski received a letter from the Prince dated 22 nd of March with the words reacting to the outbreak of 1848 revolutions in Europe: “the scene, as you must know by now, has again changed completely. Berlin and Vienna – by far our enemies – suddenly transformed into our allies. Now the Italian Question becomes of secondary importance to us”1. This article intends to interpret this unexpected turnabout and recalling of Zamoyski’s Italian mission through the lens of the broader propaganda game Czartoryski conducted in Europe. By the same token, it will shed a new light on the function of Hôtel Lambert’s legions. Hôtel Lambert’s legionary activities in Italy were conventionally analyzed through their diplomatic character and their military efficiency. However, as Jerzy Skowronek observed, Czartoryski acted “in accordance with his impera- tive to make use of every, even the smallest and indirect, action to evoke the Polish cause, to provoke another manifestation of sympathy with it, to condemn the partitioning powers” 2.

  • The Ionian Islands in British Official Discourses; 1815-1864
    1 Constructing Ionian Identities: The Ionian Islands in British Official Discourses; 1815-1864 Maria Paschalidi Department of History University College London A thesis submitted for the degree of Doctor of Philosophy to University College London 2009 2 I, Maria Paschalidi, confirm that the work presented in this thesis is my own. Where information has been derived from other sources, I confirm that this has been indicated in the thesis. 3 Abstract Utilising material such as colonial correspondence, private papers, parliamentary debates and the press, this thesis examines how the Ionian Islands were defined by British politicians and how this influenced various forms of rule in the Islands between 1815 and 1864. It explores the articulation of particular forms of colonial subjectivities for the Ionian people by colonial governors and officials. This is set in the context of political reforms that occurred in Britain and the Empire during the first half of the nineteenth-century, especially in the white settler colonies, such as Canada and Australia. It reveals how British understandings of Ionian peoples led to complex negotiations of otherness, informing the development of varieties of colonial rule. Britain suggested a variety of forms of government for the Ionians ranging from authoritarian (during the governorships of T. Maitland, H. Douglas, H. Ward, J. Young, H. Storks) to representative (under Lord Nugent, and Lord Seaton), to responsible government (under W. Gladstone’s tenure in office). All these attempted solutions (over fifty years) failed to make the Ionian Islands governable for Britain. The Ionian Protectorate was a failed colonial experiment in Europe, highlighting the difficulties of governing white, Christian Europeans within a colonial framework.

    Memory of the World International Register Collections of the 19th century of the Polish Historical and Literary Society / Polish Library in Paris / Adam Mickiewicz Museum (Poland) 2012-26 1.0 Summary (max 200 words) The Polish Library in Paris (Bibliothèque Polonaise de Paris—BPP) was created in 1838 by Polish political émigrés who had found shelter in the French capital. This is where they could carry on various actions aiming at gaining back the independence of the State which had been lost at the end of the 18th century. Led by the wave of ideologies linked to independence and people’s freedom movements arisen in Europe in the early 19th century, it was established as a peaceful form aiming at fighting for freedom and independence. In the 19th century, Europe built places of memory such as libraries and archives in the independence States. At that time, the BPP acted as a means of substitution and continuity of the institutions destroyed by the foreign forces occupying the Polish territories. It came to birth thanks to the efforts carried out by the émigrés and the support of European intellectual elites as well as the authorities of the French State. The latter felt involved in the idea originating the creation of the BPP and they supported the action of a nation whose fight for independence, during the Uprising of 1831, had moved many European nations, aroused their admiration and strengthened their own aspirations for independence. The Polish Library gathered the scattered sources which enabled to document the history of Poland, along with the publications carried out by the emigration.

The authors discuss the most important directions of re­ search – socioeco nomic history in rural and urban environments, Estonian nationalism and the devel­ opment of ethnic milieus of Baltic Germans and Russians, the history of Estonia as part of a larger empire and, albeit very briefly, also cultural history. The authors also identify a number of topics still in need of attention by scholars. For historians writing in European languages, the notion of writing about the nine­ teenth century as the period 1800 to 1900 has for several decades been supplanted by the argument that as a temporal framework, the period from the beginning of the French Revolution in 1789 to the outbreak of war in 1914 simply makes much more sense. Even for the present authors, writing about the historiography of a land which the first of these events did not immediately affect, it is a bit artificial to cut the “long nineteenth century” short since there is hardly any study on Estonian history that uses exactly the time frame from 1800 to 1900.1 For the purpose of this article, as requested by the editor, we nevertheless focus on this “arithmetic” period in order to avoid overlaps with the contributions in this special issue on early modern and twentieth century history.

  • The Canterbury Association
    The Canterbury Association (1848-1852): A Study of Its Members’ Connections By the Reverend Michael Blain Note: This is a revised edition prepared during 2019, of material included in the book published in 2000 by the archives committee of the Anglican diocese of Christchurch to mark the 150th anniversary of the Canterbury settlement. In 1850 the first Canterbury Association ships sailed into the new settlement of Lyttelton, New Zealand. From that fulcrum year I have examined the lives of the eighty-four members of the Canterbury Association. Backwards into their origins, and forwards in their subsequent careers. I looked for connections. The story of the Association’s plans and the settlement of colonial Canterbury has been told often enough. (For instance, see A History of Canterbury volume 1, pp135-233, edited James Hight and CR Straubel.) Names and titles of many of these men still feature in the Canterbury landscape as mountains, lakes, and rivers. But who were the people? What brought these eighty-four together between the initial meeting on 27 March 1848 and the close of their operations in September 1852? What were the connections between them? In November 1847 Edward Gibbon Wakefield had convinced an idealistic young Irishman John Robert Godley that in partnership they could put together the best of all emigration plans. Wakefield’s experience, and Godley’s contacts brought together an association to promote a special colony in New Zealand, an English society free of industrial slums and revolutionary spirit, an ideal English society sustained by an ideal church of England. Each member of these eighty-four members has his biographical entry.

The first of these was at the time of the first Gladstone administration, which was marked, so far as the Department was concerned, by the "economy drive" initiated by Lowe, and by the scheme for the transfer of the responsibility for the Museum to the trustees of the British Museum.
