Commentary
Denys Auguste Affre, né à Saint-Rome-de-Tarn (Aveyron), le 27 septembre 1793, et mort à Paris, le 27 juin 1848, fut le 126e archevêque de Paris.
Pendant les insurrections de juin 1848, il crut que sa présence près des barricades pût être un moyen de ramener la paix. Il en fit part au général Louis Eugène Cavaignac, qui le mit en garde contre les dangers qu’il courait. « Ma vie, répondit-il, a peu de valeur, je la risquerai volontiers. » Le 25 juin, les tirs ayant cessé à sa demande, il apparut sur la barricade à l’entrée du Faubourg Saint-Antoine, accompagné par M. Albert, de la Garde nationale, habillé comme un ouvrier et arborant une branche verte en signe de paix, et par Pierre Sellier, un domestique qui lui était dévoué. Ses deux vicaires généraux, Antoine Jaquemet et Jules Ravinet, futurs évêques de Nantes et de Troyes, étaient également présents sur les lieux mais auraient été séparés de lui dans la confusion générale.
Il fut accueilli dans la stupeur, mais à peine eut-il prononcé quelques mots qu’un coup de feu relança les hostilités. On l’amena au presbytère de Saint-Antoine, et il fut ramené le lendemain à l'hôtel Chenizot au 51 rue Saint-Louis en l'Ile, devenu sa résidence depuis 1846, où il mourut le 27 juin, vers 4h30 du matin..
Denys Auguste Affre, born in Saint-Rome-de-Tarn (Aveyron) on September 27, 1793, and died in Paris on June 27, 1848, was the 126th archbishop of Paris.
During the June 1848 uprisings, he believed that his presence near the barricades could be a means of restoring peace.. He informed General Louis Eugène Cavaignac of this, who warned him of the dangers he was running.. \\\"My life,\\\" he replied, \\\"is of little value, I would gladly risk it. \\\"On June 25, the shooting having stopped at his request, he appeared on the barricade at the entrance to the Faubourg Saint-Antoine, accompanied by M. Albert, of the National Guard, dressed as a worker and carrying a green branch as a sign of peace, and by Pierre Sellier, a servant devoted to him. His two vicars general, Antoine Jaquemet and Jules Ravinet, future bishops of Nantes and Troyes, were also present at the scene but were apparently separated from him in the general confusion..
He was greeted with amazement, but barely had he spoken a few words when a shot rekindled hostilities.. He was taken to the presbytery of Saint-Antoine, and the next day he was brought back to the Chenizot hotel at 51 rue Saint-Louis en l'Ile, which had become his residence since 1846, where he died on June 27, around 4:30 a.m..

Historical background
II REPUBLIC
(02/24/1848-12/2/1852)
During the February 1848 revolution, Louis-Philippe abdicated in favor of his grandson, but the latter was not recognized by the Chambers and, on February 24, the Republic was proclaimed by a decree of the provisional government.. He proclaimed the freedom of work, the abolition of the death penalty in political matters, universal suffrage. The national workshops were created in March 1848. Elections are held in April and result in the success of moderate Republicans. The closing of the national workshops causes riots which are bloodily repressed by General Cavaignac who is appointed chairman of the council. The rebels are executed, imprisoned, deported. Legislative power is entrusted to a single assembly while the President of the Republic, elected by universal suffrage, holds the executive. The latter is Prince Louis Napoleon. He came into conflict with the assembly in 1850 because his re-election was unconstitutional.. Louis Napoleon then engages in the preparation of the coup d'etat which allows him, on December 2, 1851, to install his dictatorship. In November 1852, it was proposed to restore the hereditary imperial dignity. The plebiscite of November 21-22 gives nearly eight million yes for the Empire while the no collected only about 250. 000 votes. On December 2, 1852, Louis Napoleon was proclaimed emperor under the name of Napoleon III..
