Clack THE NATURE OF PARLIAMENTARY ELECTIONS UNDER THE FIRST EMPIRE: The Example of the Department of Mont-Tonnerre In an earlier article1 1 looked at one aspect of the politics of dictatorship, i. e. the nature of the political activity that takes place under such a regime. Here I turn to another aspect of the same theme. It is one of the paradoxes of modern dictatorship, and a feature that distinguishes it from traditional (ancien-regime) absolutism, that it seeks to present at least a semblance of populär ratification or endorsement of its policies. Perhaps it is not such a paradox: perhaps here we are getting near the essence of the age that Max Beloff has called the age of democratic absolutism 2; the legitimation that modern regimes seekis not divine, as under the arteten regime, but the legitimation conferred by the general will. Here, as in other respects, the First Empire in France may be seen as apeculiarly indicative harbinger of what was to come; here, as elsewhere, its precocious modernity is apparent. That it was a dictatorship admits of no doubt, albeit a plebiscitary dictatorship, of the model afterwards continued by Napoleon III.

  • RAPPORT ET PROJET DE DÉCRET Tendant À
    2204. SECTION de l'interieur. M. le Comte R. de S. t-Jean-d'Angely, Rapporteur. 1. re Rédaction. N. o 26,569. RAPPORT ET PROJET DE DÉCRET Tendant à autoriser la Publication de Feuilles d'annonces et de Journaux affectés aux Sciences, à la Littérature et aux Arts, dans divers Départemens de l'Empire. RAPPORT DU MINISTRE DE L'INTÉRIEUR. Sire, Par décret du 3 août dernier, votre Majesté impériale et royale a réglé qu'il n'y aurait qu'un seul journal dans chaque département de l'Empire, autre que celui de la Seine ; que néanmoins les préfets pourraient provisoirement autoriser dans les grandes villes la publication de feuilles d'affiches ou d'annonces, et que je lui soumettrais, au 1. er septembre, un rapport sur celles de ces feuilles dont la publication pourrait être définitivement autorisée. J'ai fait tout ce qu'il m'était possible de faire pour me conformer à cette dernière disposition. Malgré la célérité que j'ai mise à demander aux préfets un état des journaux qui s'impriment dans leurs départemens, et celle qu'ils ont pu mettre eux-mêmes à former ces états, il n'y en a encore que quatre-vingt-seize dont les réponses me soient parvenues. Le conseiller d'état directeur général de l'imprimerie et de la librairie, auquel j'ai renvoyé l'examen de ces réponses, a suppléé, autant qu'il l'a pu, aux renseignemens qui me manquent, par ceux qu'il avait déjà recueillis lui-même, en s'informant du travail de chaque imprimeur ; mais il s'est trouvé n'en avoir que sur neuf départemens de plus, de sorte qu'il n'y a en tout que cent cinq départemens sur lesquels les renseignemens nécessaires aient été recueillis ; encore y en a-t-il neuf dans ce nombre sur lesquels je n'ai que des notions probablement incomplètes, comme n'ayant été données au conseiller d'état directeur général de l'imprimerie que par occasion, et dans un autre but que celui de lui faire connaître les journaux et feuilles d'annonces.

  • 4711, Le Saviez Vous
    Le saviez-vous ? Pour l’administration du territoire national, la Révolution a créé les départements à la place des provinces. Ils furent identifiés par des noms en rapport avec la topographie de leur situation géographique et le plus souvent, par le nom des fleuves ou rivières qui les traversent. Pour ces derniers, il existe une particularité : le département du Var. À l’origine, ce fleuve côtier traversait le département du même nom et lui donnait son appellation. Aujourd’hui, il s’écoule entièrement dans le département des Alpes-Maritimes et plus du tout dans celui du Var. Que s’était-il donc passé ? En1860 lors du rattachement de la Savoie et du Comté de Nice à la France, on se rendit compte que le territoire du Comté était tout petit et que pour en faire un département, il fallait étoffer sa surface. Pour cela, on reprit au nord une partie du département des Basses-Alpes et à l’ouest une partie du département du Var qui était contigu et cette partie comprenait la totalité du cours du fleuve Var. Le département du Var a perdu son cours d’eau mais a gardé son nom. Par ailleurs, certains départements qui comportaient un nom dévalorisant aux yeux de leur population changèrent d’appellation : Seine-Inférieure qui devint Seine-Maritime, de même pour la Loire-Inférieure qui devint Loire-Atlantique, pour les Basses-Alpes qui devinrent Alpes-de-Haute-Provence, pour les Basses- Pyrénées qui devinrent Pyrénées-Atlantiques, etc. Pour les départements qualifiés de « Haut de quelque chose » : Haute-Saône, Hautes-Pyrénées, Haute-Garonne, etc.

  • Review Volume 13 (2013) Page 1
    H-France Review Volume 13 (2013) Page 1 H-France Review Vol. 13 (October 2013), No. 160 Michael Broers, Peter Hicks and Agustín Guimerá, eds, The Napoleonic Empire and the New European Political Culture. Houndmills, Basingstoke: Palgrave Macmillan, 2012. xv + 352. Notes and index. £70 (hb). ISBN 9780230241312. Review by Philip Dwyer, University of Newcastle. This latest contribution to the “new Napoleonic history”—part of the Palgrave Macmillan series on War, Culture and Society, 1750-1850 edited by Rafe Blaufarb, Alan Forrest, and Karen Hagemann—attempts to place Napoleon and his deeds in a larger political, social and cultural context. It consists of twenty-four essays that came out of a conference held in Madrid in 2008. Broadly divided into four themes—the Napoleonic constitutions and the Civil Code; the administrative structures created by the imperial regime; policing, resistance and repression; and what Broers’ refers to as the “imperial enterprise”—the overarching thread, we are told, is the “tension at the heart of the Napoleonic project and the contradictions that tension arose from” (p. 2). Broers did not structure his collection around these four themes. Instead, he chose to divide the essays into five sections based on geographical regions (see List of Essays below). I can see why Broers would have chosen to do this, since some of the essays do not fall easily under the four themes. The order of the essays in each section is not always chronological. For example, the section entitled “France, 1799-1814,” begins with Thierry Lentz and the empire in 1808, only to be followed by Howard Brown’s essay on the origins of Napoleonic repression during the Consulate.
