e Army. After Waterloo,
where he fought most energetically, the Marshal took refuge at Malzieu
(Lozere) with General Brun de Villeret, his former aid-de-camp. Being set
down on the list of the proscribed, he withdrew to Dusseldorf on the banks
of the Rhine, until 1819, when a Royal ordinance allowed him to return to
France. He then went to live with his family at St. Amand, his native
place, and on his reiterated representations his marshal's baton, which
had been withdrawn from him, was restored. Charles X. treated Marshal
Soult with favor, creating him knight of his orders, and afterward making
him Peer of France. After the revolution of July, 1830, the declaration of
the Chamber of Deputies of August 9th excluded him from that rank, but he
was restored to it four days later by a special nomination of Louis
Philippe, who soon after appointed him Minister of War. We shall not
follow Marshal Soult through the acts of his administrative career. He
always showed himself devoted to the constitutive principles of the
Government of July. He was twice named President of the Council of King
Louis Philippe, who elevated him to the dignity of Marshal General, of
which Turenne had been the last possessor. Since the revolution of
February, Marshal Soult has lived on his estate, in the midst of his
family, and almost forgotten in our present political agitations.
