OBITUARY.
Ex-Minister EdOuard ThOuvenel of


The cable dispatches announce the death, at
Paris, yesterday, October 49, of NJ. Edouard An
tome Thouvenel, the predecessor of Drouyn de
Lhuys in the Office of French Minister of
Foreign Affairs. We published about month
AGO the announcement of the death OF his wife,
sister of Crevlliers Fleury, one ot the pro-
prletors of the DebdtS Of Paris, and a former
utOr in the Orleans family.
NJ. Thouvenel was born at Verdun, November
II, lSl3 On finishing his studies he travelled
for some time in the East, and on his retlrn to
France published his impressions de Voyage"
in some papers on Hungary and Wallachia,
which appeared in the ReUlte des Deur MOndes.
These papers first brought him into notice. and
determined his future career as q dlplomatis
Shortly after he entered the French Foreign
Office, and signalzed himself by denouncing
the encloachments of Russia in Asia Minor, and
he disastrous consequences to the balance of
power In Europe accru ng from the treaty con-
cluded between the Porte and Russia IN 1888.
In 1874 he had All opportunity OF studying in
the localities themselves the question OF the
Danubian principallties which was destined to
occupy so much OF the attention of European
diplomacy, and it may be boldly asserted that
the light which he shed on the situation and
interests of the Principallties eXerted q decided
influence on the part which the French Govern
ment took in determining the destiny OF those
interesting countries. NJ Thouvenel went after
wards to Brussels as attache under the French
Ambassador NJ. de Rumigny.
in the month OF September, lS45, he became
Secretary of the French Embassy at Athens.
he was afterwards appointed Charge d'Atfares,
later period NJ. Thouyenel was sent to Munich
as French Ambassador, and was recalled from
this post to take the political direction in
foreign affairs, in which he gave proof of ex-
tensive knowledge and of remarkable tact.
When NJ. Drouyn de Lhuys was summoned to
the Conferences which we're held at Vienna in
April, 1855 NJ. Thouvenel was, during his ab-
sence, intruste1 with the entire managem ent OF
| the Foreign Office. In July, 1855, on the return
of NJ. Drouyn de LhuYs from Vienna, Theuvenel
was appointed Ambassador to Constantinople.
He was appointed Minister OF Foreign Affairs
| on January s, 1860. succeeding Count Walewski,
| who was retired on account OF a disagreement
| with the Emperor on the Italian question. Tnou-
venel did not fully agree with the Emperor on
his Italian policy, and he was finally retired on
| account of the differences on the Roman ques
| tion, and was succeeded October Is, 1862, by NJ.
| Drouyn de Lhuys. Since that time M, Thouve
| ne! has held no public office. His death at this
time, when the Eastern question Is again be-
| coming important, will doubtless be looked upon
as O misfortune, for he was considered to be in
| umately acquainted with the subject.
