GOHIER, LOUIS JEROME (1.7461830)

This article appears in Volume V12, Page 191 of the Encyclopedia Britannica.

Encyclopedia Britannica - Main :: GOA-GRA
GOHIER, LOUIS JEROME (1.7461830) , French politician, was born at Semblancay (Indre-et-Loire) on the 27th of February 1746, the son of a notary. He was called to the bar at
Rennes
 , and practised there until he was sent to represent the town in the states-general. In the Legislative Assembly he represented Ille-et-Vilaine. He took a prominent part in the deliberations; he protested against the exaction of a new oath from priests (Nov. 22, 1791), and demanded the sequestration of the emigrants' property (Feb. 7, 1792). He was minister of justice from
March
  1793 to April 1794, and in June 1799 he succeeded Treilhard in the Directory, where he represented the republican
interest
 . His wife was intimate with Josephine Bonaparte, and when Bonaparte suddenly returned from
Egypt
  in October 1799 he repeatedly protested his friendship for Gohier, who was then president of the Directory, and tried in vain to gain him over. After the coup d'etat of the 18th Brumaire (Nov. 9, 1799), he refused to abdicate his functions, and sought out Bonaparte at the Tuileries " to save the republic," as he boldly expressed it. He was escorted to the Luxembourg, and on his release he retired to his estate at Eaubonne. In 18o2
Napoleon
  made him
consul
 -general at Amsterdam, and on the union of the Netherlands with France he was offered a similar post in the United States. His health did not permit of his taking up a new appointment, and he died at Eaubonne on the 29th of May 1830.
His Memoires d'un veteran irreprochable de la Revolution was published in 1824, his report on the papers of the civil
list
  preparatory to the trial of Louis XVI. is printed in Le Proces de Louis XVI (Paris, an III) and elsewhere, while others appear in the Moniteur.
