Jean-Baptiste Cavaignac

Jean -Baptiste Cavaignacs ( born February 23, 1762 Gourdon, Lot Department, † March 24, 1829 in Brussels) was a French politician and Member of the National Convention and father of Louis -Eugène Cavaignacs.

Life

He was a lawyer at the Parliament in 1789 in Toulouse, joined the Revolution and in 1792 elected to the Convention, where he voted for the death of the king, but without belonging to the extreme party of Robespierre.

As a general he tried in vain in the uprising of the Mountain from 1 Prairial III (May 20, 1795) to prevent the seditious amount from the boardroom of the Convention. On 13 Vendémiaire (5 October 1795), he commanded under Bonaparte the Convention troops and helped to crush the rebellion of the sections.

During the Board he was a member of the Council of Five Hundred, Stadtzolleinnehmer, finally Lotterieverweser. Under the Consulate he was sent as an extraordinary general commissioner after the Arab seaport Muscat, but without even accomplish anything there.

Appointed in 1806 by Joseph Napoleon as a domain administrator to Naples, his successor, Murat appointed him to the State Council. As Napoleon Bonaparte recalled the employed abroad French, also Cavaignacs went back to France and was appointed in March 1815 as prefect of the Somme, but this place had not yet begun when the second restoration occurred. Through the Amnesty Act of January 12, 1816 Cavaignacs felt compelled as a regicide to emigrate to Brussels, where he died March 24, 1829.
