Everything about Pierre Victor Baron Malouet totally explained
Pierre Victor, baron Malouet (
February 11,
1740 -
September 7,
1814), a
French publicist and
politician, was born at
Riom (
Puy-de-Dôme).
The son of a
lawyer, he entered the civil service and was employed successively at the French embassy in
Lisbon, in the administrative department of the
duc de Broglie's army, as commissary in
San Domingo from
1767 to
1774, and, after his return to France, as commissary-general of the marine. In
1776 he was entrusted to carry out plans of colonization in
French Guiana, but was superseded in
1779.
On his return to France he was well received at court, and the execution of his plans in Guiana was assured. He became intendant of the port of
Toulon, and in
1789 was returned to the Estates General, where he soon became well known as a defender of the monarchical principle. He emigrated to
England in September,
1792, but shortly afterwards sought in vain permission to return to assist in the defense of
Louis XVI.
His name was erased from the list of emigres in
1801 by
Napoleon; upon his return in 1803, he was sent to
Antwerp as commissioner-general and maritime prefect to supervise the erection of defence works, and the creation of a fleet. He entered the council of state for the navy in
1810. Having offended the emperor by his criticism of the campaign in Russia, he was disgraced and left office in
1812. At the
Restoration,
Louis XVIII made him minister of the navy.
The most important documents for his domestic and colonial policy are a
Collection de ses opinions à l'Assemblée Nationale (3 vols.,
1791-
1792); and
Collection de mémoires et correspondences officielles sur l'administration des colonies et notamment sur la Guerre française et hollandaise (5 vols.
1802).
