AUMALE, IIENRDEMENETHILIPPE, Louts D'OnrAmcs, Due d', b. at Paris, Jan. 16, 1822, is the fourth son of the late king of France, Louis Philippe. He enjoyed the privilege —so rare among princes—of being educated along with his fellow-men, at the college of Henri IV., where he exhibited considerable talent. and obtained several honors. When 16 years of age, he entered the army, soon distinguished himself by his bravery, and passed rapidly through the various grades of rank. In 1843, he embarked at Brest for Algeria, where he commanded a subdivision of the French army, and performed some brilliant exploits, the most signal of which was his surprising Abd-el-Kader, when encamped in the environs of Goudjilab. By this coup de main, which occurred on the 16th of May, 1S43, there fell into his hands a multitude of cattle, 4 :standards; 3600 prisoners, and the corre spondence and treasure of the emir. He was, in consequence, elevated to the rank of lieuten ant-general, and appointed to the government of the province of Constantine. In 1847,
he succeeded marshal Bugeaud in the governor-generalship of Algeria. While holding this high office, he was exposed to a series of bitter attacks by the democratic " opposi tion" in the chamber of deputies, but was ably defended by Guizot. After the expul sion of his father, he withdrew from Algeria, having first, with self-denying patriotism, exhorted the colony peaceably to obey the orders of metropolis. He then resided in England till 1871, when he returned to France, and was elected a member of the assem bly. He was elected a general of division in 1872, and presided over the council of war which tried marshal Bazaine. He was elected a member of the academy in 1871.
