Antoine Christophe Merlin (13 September 1762 in Thionville, Moselle – September 1833 in Paris)[1] was a member of several legislative bodies during the era of the French Revolution. He is usually called Merlin de Thionville (Merlin of Thionville) to distinguish him from Philippe-Antoine Merlin de Douai.
Life
He was born at Thionville, the son of a procureur in the revolution of 10 August of the same year.[3]
He was elected deputy to the
Robespierre, and was appointed to the Committee of General Security on 31 July 1794.[4] He sat in the Council of Five Hundred under the Directory, and at the Coup of 18 Fructidor (4 September 1797) demanded the deportation of certain republican members. In 1798 he ceased to be a member of the Council of Five Hundred, and was appointed director-general of posts, being sent subsequently to organize the Army of Italy. He retired into private life at the proclamation of the Consulate, and lived in retirement under the Consulate and the First French Empire.[3]
