GOUDCHAUX, MICHEL: French statesman;
born at Nancy March 18, 1797 ; died at Paris Dec.
27, 1862. After having been established for some
time as banker in his native town, he settled in
Paris in 1826. His reputation for probity and phi-
lanthropy won for him the confidence of his corelig-
ionists in Paris, and lie was soon elected vice-presi-
dent of the Central Consistory of France. A democrat
by nature and education, Goudchaux was soon in-
volved in the political movements of his time, and
became one of the founders of the "National," a
paper established in the interests of the working
classes. He took an active part in the Revolution
of July (1830), and foughtat the barricades. In 1831
the government of Louis Philippe appointed him
paymaster-general at Strasburg, a position which
he resigned in 1834, being dissatisfied with the pol-
icy of the government. In 1848, urged by Lamar-
tine and Arago, Goudchaux accepted the portfolio
of minister of finance in the provisional government,
but resigned his office ten days later. Recalled by
General Cavaignac, he remained in the ministry
until Dec. 30 of the same year. As the representa-
tive of Paris in the Constituent Assembly, he op-
posed the politics of the Elysee. In 1857 he was
elected depulj' to the legislature, but did not take
his seat because of his refusal to swear allegiance to
Napoleon III.
