France 1795, GAZETE NATIONALE LE MONITEUR UNIVERSEL #211, Apr 20, 4pgs 12" x 18", Newspaper over 220 years old!!!Le Moniteur Universel
was a French newspaper founded in Paris on November 24, 1789 under the title
Gazette Nationale ou Le Moniteur Universel
by Charles-Joseph Panckoucke, and which ceased publication on December 31, 1868. It was the main French newspaper during theFrench Revolution and was for a long time the official journal of the French government and at times a propaganda publication, especially under the Napoleonic regime.
Le Moniteur
had a large circulation in France and Europe, and also in America during the French Revolution.
The interest aroused by the debates of the firstNational Assembly suggested to Hughes-Bernanrd Maret the idea of publishing them in the
Bulletin de l'Assemblée
. Charles-Joseph Panckoucke (1736-1798), owner of theMercure de France and publisher of the famous Encyclopedie of 1785, persuaded him to merge this into a larger paper, the
Gazette Nationale ou Le Moniteur Universel
. On December 2, 1799
Le Moniteur
was declared an official newspaper. Napoleon controlled it via
Hughes-Bernanrd Maret
who was responsible for its content. Due to Napoleon's strict controls of the press, the
Moniteur's
reports of legislative debates were replaced by bulletins of the Grand Army and polemical articles directed against England. The words
Gazette Nationale
were dropped from the newspaper's name on January 1, 1811, when it became
Le Moniteur Universel
. The newspaper also became less exclusively political, articles on literature, science, and art occupying a considerable portion of its columns. Napoleon's return from exile on Elba on March 20, 1815 confirmed
Le Moniteur
in its position as official journal;
Le Moniteur
announced in the same edition both the departure of King Louis XVIII and the arrival of the Emperor in the TUILERIES. Immediately after the July Revolution of 1830, one of the first steps of the provisional government was to seize control of
Le Moniteur
and the government of Louis Philippe put it under the control of the ministerial departments.
Le Moniteur
ceased publication on December 31, 1868, being superseded as the official journal of the French Empire (and later the French Republic) by what is known now as the Journal Officiel de la Republque Francaise.
