Louis Charles SAPEY (Grand-Lemps /Isère 1769 - Paris 1857) F - Lot 354
Louis Charles SAPEY (Grand-Lemps /Isère 1769 - Paris 1857) Former Secretary of Lucien Bonaparte, supporter of the Empire, Deputy of ISÈRE (1852-1857) and of the 100 Days, in opposition under the Restoration, supporter of Louis-Philippe. In 1848 he voted the Address of 221 which triggered the July Revolution. Interesting friendly and political correspondence, of 9 autographed Letters signed, addressed to his Dear Compatriot and friend Victor BLANCHET Trader in RIVES (38), notably on the events of 1830. (February 1830 to June 1831): "I am anxious to calm your worries and to dissipate your suspicions relating to several of my colleagues. I believe I can assure you that they are all willing, with the exception of those who sit on the extreme right, to attack the current Ministry (of Charles X); you will soon have the proof by the address. All announce that we will have a majority of at least 150 votes, because those who, until now, have thought they had to vote with the various ministries which have succeeded one another since the Restoration seem determined to help us to remove from the helm of affairs the men called to power by the ordinance of August 8... Thus My dear Compatriot, we will have a measured Address, very respectful, but which will teach the King the alarms which the present Ministers are causing France: I have no doubt that His Majesty, enlightened by the voice of the Representatives of the property ... will decide to dismiss the present Ministers in order to take others from the majority of both Houses; This is the great advantage of the representative system, that of always placing the King in the force. It is necessary to undergo the consequences or to undertake a coup d'état whose result can compromise the dynasty and the throne? One will not determine the King to throw himself into such a perilous voice..." (Extract from a letter of Paris on February 21, 1830.); "... I was offered the Direction of the United Rights, I refused it; I have well desire to remain simple Deputy, without public functions, the post of Deputy is, without question, the most honourable; my wife being of this opinion..." (Paris, August 20, 1830); "... I have just been assured that the insurrection in Belgium is taking on a great deal of circumstance and is spreading to several cities. The Belgians started too early for us..." (Paris August 28, 1830); "... I have just been assured that the insurrection of Belgium takes much circumstance and extends in several cities. (Paris 28 August 1830); "... Industry, commerce, our factories languish as a result of the riots, the general anxiety and the uncertain course of the Government..." (May 9, 1831)
