French: Vicomte de La Guéronnière, Arthur de La Guéronnière
LA GUÉRONNIÈRE, Louis-Étienne-Arthur Dubreuil Hélion, Viscount of. - French writer and politician, b. 6 Apr. 1816 at Dorat (Haute-Vienne), d. 23 Dec. 1875 in Paris. He turned to journalism at the age of 19 at the Avenir national of Limoges, moved in 1848 to the Presse, then to the Pays, of which he was for some time editor-in-chief; and there he began a series of political portraits: the first that of Louis Napoleon Bonaparte, in a sense favorable to the subject.
Although he had protested against the coup d'état of 2 Dec. 1851, he soon drew close to Bonaparte and, after a conversation with Morny, accepted the candidacy offered to him in the name of the government and was elected deputy in Feb. 1852. He supported the government without reservation from the columns of the Constitutionnel and the Pays, and voted in favor of the restoration of the Empire. In 1854 he was appointed a member of the Council of State and director-general of the press at the Ministry of the Interior. A very influential adviser to the Emperor, in Feb. 1859 he drafted the pamphlet L'empereur Napoléon III et l'Italie, in which he maintained the necessity of an Italian confederation presided over by the Pope, and toward the end of the same year Le Pape et le Congrès, tending to reduce the temporal power of the Pontiff to the single city of Rome. A senator in 1861, ambassador to Brussels (1868) and to Constantinople (1870), he continued his activity even after the fall of the Second Empire.
