Biography:
*Pierre Antoine, Count Dupont de l'Étang, born on July 4, 1765 in Chabanais (Limousin) and died on March 9, 1840 in Paris, was a French general and politician during the Revolution and the Empire, and later a minister and parliamentarian during the Restoration period. He adopted the name de l'Étang to distinguish himself from his brothers, General-Count Dupont-Chaumont and Baron Dupont de Poursat, Bishop of Coutances.
[...] French Restoration
The provisional government appointed him in March 1814 as commissioner for the Department of War, a position in which he was confirmed (April 3) with the rank of minister.
On November 7, the king ordered that "the file of his conviction, which apart from its more or less injustice, bore all the characteristics of an arbitrary act rather than a regular and legal conviction," would be reviewed, and by a royal decree annulled the imperial decree of his dismissal. General Dupont's administration was not successful: numerous dismissals, the misuse of the Legion of Honor, and appointments of favoritism to army ranks led to complaints. He also served the passions of the reactionary party to such an excess that after a few months, the king was forced to withdraw the war portfolio from him (December 3, 1814) and distance him. Replaced by Soult, in exchange he was entrusted with the government of the 22nd military division and the cross of the Commander of Saint-Louis.
Dismissed again during the Hundred Days (April 3, 1815) and imprisoned in Doullens, he was released after the return of the Bourbons. Reinstated upon the return from Ghent, he was appointed Minister of State and member of the Privy Council on September 19, 1815.
