SAINT ANDRE, ANDRE JEANBON (1749-1813)

This article appears in Volume V23, Page 1014 of the Encyclopedia Britannica.

Encyclopedia Britannica - Main :: SAC-SAR
SAINT ANDRE, ANDRE JEANBON (1749-1813) , French revolutionist, was born at
Montauban
  (Tarn-et-
Garonne
 ) on the 25th of February 1749, the son of a fuller. Although his father was a
Protestant
 , St Andre was brought up by the
Jesuits
  at Marseilles and took orders. He turned
Protestant
 , however, and became pastor at Castras and afterwards at
Montauban
 . The proclamation of liberty of
worship
  made him a supporter of the Revolution, and he was sent as deputy to the Convention by the department of Lot. He sat on the Mountain, voted for the death of Louis XVI. and opposed the punishment of the authors of the September massacres. In July 1793 he was president of the Convention, entered the Committee of Public Safety the same month and was sent on mission to the Armies of the
East
 . On the 2oth of September 1793 he obtained a vote of one hundred million francs for constructing vessels, and from September 1793 to January 1794 reorganized the military harbours of Brest and Cherbourg. In May 1794 he took part with Admiral Villaret de Joyeuse in a fight with the English. Finally, after a mission in the
south
 , which lasted from July 1794 to March 1795 and in which he showed
great
  moderation, he was arrested on the 28th of May 1795, but was released by the amnesty of the year IV. He was then appointed
consul
  at Algiers and Smyrna (1798), was kept prisoner by the Turks for three years, and subsequently became prefect of the department of Mont-Tonnerre (18o1) and commissary-general of the threedepartments on the left bank of the Rhine. He died at Mainz on the loth of December 1813.
