DABU (Comtb) Napolbon, a French statesman and ex-peer of France, born at Paris, June 11, 1807, son of the celebrated historian of the First Empire, and godson of

Napoleon I. and the Empress Jose- phine. After a suitable education at the Lyceum of Louis-le-Grand and the Polytechhic School, he entered the artillerv, and served for some time in Algeria; but in 1847 he finally retired from the army, in which he had attained the rank of captam. In 1832 he entered the Chamber of Peers by hereditary right, and was an ardent supporter of the monarchy of July. He was an active member of the Chamber, took part in most of its discussions, and was an earnest promoter, both in its committees and in the tribune, of measures relating to public works. In a well-written treatise, " Dee Chemins de Fer/' published in 1848, he showed the application and consequences of the law of June 11, 1842; and he likewise drew up many important reports on subiects of political economy. After the revolution of February, Count Daru gave his adhesion to the new Government, and was twice elected by considerable majorities for the department of La Manche. He took a prominent part in ^e debates of the Constituent Assem- bly, and was elected Vice-President of the Legislative Assembly for 1850 and 1851. After the coup d'itat he retired into private life, but continued to be amonff the most consistent enemies of the Second Empire, and a staunch adherent of the Orleans family. He emerged from his retirement in May, 1869, when he was elected a member of the Coips L^g^islatif by 16,086 votes, against 15,809 recorded in favour of M. de Tocqueville, the official candidate. Becognised as one of the leaders of the new Liberal "Tiers Parti/' he was, in Dec., 1869, elected Vice-President of the Chamber, and in Jan., 1870, ap- pointed Minister for Forei^ Affairs in M. Ollivier's short-lived ad- ministration. Count Daru incurred no inconsiderable amount of un- popularity by his injudicious meddling in the matters discussed
