Jean Nicolas Pache: The Swiss Minister of War During the Revolution, Then Mayor of Paris (Part I)
Jean Nicolas Pache
I think I would divide his life into three parts considering the limitations of Tumblr's policy. The first part will cover until the end of his term as Minister of War, the second part will cover his time as Mayor of Paris until his release, and the third part will discuss his post-revolutionary political life, followed by the end of his life.
To learn more about the revolutionary activities of his daughter Sylvie, it's here: The Revolutionary Path of Sylvie Audouin, Daughter, and about his son-in-law Xavier Audouin, it's here: The Life of the Revolutionary Xavier Audouin.
I have written a small biography about Ronsin, whom I mention: The Life of Charles Philippe Ronsin.
Before the Revolution:
Jean Nicolas Pache had a complex path as a revolutionary, and although he could be classified as one of the "Hébertists," his political thoughts are much more intricate. He can be considered one of the former Girondins who joined the Montagnard political class.
Jean Nicolas Pache was born on December 28, 1718, in Verdun. His father, Nicolas Pache (1718–1774), and his mother, Jeanne Lallemand (1725–1819), were of Swiss descent. His father worked as a porter and later as a concierge for Marshal de Castries in Paris. Jean-Nicolas Pache attended the École de Génie de Mézières as a student and later as an appointed usher, where the future revolutionary developed various talents, including military engineering, a sharp intellect, a deep cultural knowledge, and formed a lasting friendship with Gaspard Monge. Monge wrote in a letter in 1783:
"You are worthy friends, you and Mr. Pache, my very dear friend, and what obligations do I not owe you! Mr. Pache had already informed me of the event and let me know of the hopes I might have and which you, so to speak, assure me of in your letter. If the arrangements we discussed this winter had been carried out, the pleasure they would have given me would not have been diminished by the sorrowful thoughts that are inseparable from them. I will do nothing without notifying you, my dear friend, or rather, you will do everything, and I will do nothing... I had no intention of making myself known in the newspapers; however, the current circumstances may make it necessary to justify the choice of the minister. Thus, I hasten to send you the numbers of my experiments ..."
The fact that he managed to enter this prestigious school is thanks to his father's employer, Charles Eugène Gabriel de La Croix, Marquis de Castries, who recognized his potential and had much affection for him, even making him a tutor for his own son.
Later, Jean-Nicolas Pache married Marie-Marguerite "Sylvie" Valette, an illegitimate daughter of Charles Eugène de la Croix de Castries. They had two children, Marie-Sylvie Pache (1777–1820) and Jean-Antoine Marin-Pache (1779–1843), both of whom followed significant paths and became well-known in their own right. His wife was also a musician, described as beautiful, and the couple deeply loved each other.
When Castries was appointed Minister of the Navy in 1780, he promoted Pache to the position of Secretary-General of the Ministry. It was here that Pache met another important Swiss figure, Necker, working for him as the controller of the king's household.
Sources diverge on what happened after the death of his wife in 1786. Some claim Pache withdrew from political life, as mentioned by Bloche and Diallo, while others say that he voluntarily chose to retire to Switzerland in 1784, living a rural life near the Republic of Geneva. During this time, he engaged in a Rousseau-inspired lifestyle, purchasing land to work it himself. This is where he would lose his wife, despite the care of Dr. Tissot. He never recovered from her death, and his mother, Jeanne Lallemand, helped him raise their two children. According to Lenôtre, during this time he spent his days “herborizing, like Rousseau, always, with his son Jean, and in the evenings, he gave his daughter Sylvie harp lessons, an art in which he excelled.”
Adrien See notes that Pache also instructed his two children in Swiss history. But in 1790, Pache and his family returned to Paris after the French Revolution broke out. Some say it was Monge, as a Jacobin, who convinced Pache to return to help support the revolution. Louis de Launay argues that it was instead from Monge's reports on the revolution that Pache decided to return on his own. In any case, here is how Louis de Launay described their reunion (which, like Adrien See’s account, is not entirely reliable, although some passages may be true):
"A few days later, Monge received a letter from his friend Pache from Switzerland asking what exactly the revolution's aims were. Informed by Monge, Pache immediately left Zug with his mother and two children and arrived in Paris via the Basel coach. Monge and his daughters went to meet the travelers to offer their assistance. But Monge's daughters, who had not seen their little friends in a long time, were surprised upon seeing them. For Pache's children were now dressed in Swiss style and spoke mostly German. This returnee, who had already introduced Monge to Marshal de Castries and thus to the Navy, would soon lead him to the early days of the Terror."
While it is possible that Pache's children were dressed in Swiss style and spoke mainly German, we do have a letter from Pache in French to his son just four years later, and Sylvie was certainly proficient in French, as seen in another letter where she signed a manifesto in 1792. The family also dined with collaborators, which suggests they were conversing in French. It was during this time that Xavier Audouin could have met his future wife, Sylvie, in 1792. I find it hard to believe that they managed to fully regain their French after speaking mostly German in 1790, although it is certainly possible.
In any case, it was at this point that the Pache family would enter history, for better or for worse...
During the Revolution:
Jean Nicolas Pache initially settled on Rue Tournon. At 44 years old in 1790, he was one of the "older" revolutionaries. He is said to have founded the Société Patriotique du Luxembourg, where women were admitted from the age of 14 (one of the most famous activists was Pauline Léon) just like men "However, their number was not to exceed one-fifth of the total membership; they were eligible, in the same proportion, for the functions of the society, excluding the office positions ». . The society's official aim was to spread knowledge of the duties and roles of each citizen under the Constitution, though its real aim was likely more political in nature.
His scientific friends, including Monge, Vandermonde, Meusnier, and Hassenfratz, were all part of this society. Besides being scientists, they were all committed Jacobins.
In this context, Pache’s rise continued. He met the well-known revolutionary couple Jean-Marie Roland de la Platière and his wife Manon Roland. Initially, the relationship was good. Manon Roland reportedly said, "This simplicity never displeased anyone about him" and "Roland, excessively passionate and highly sensitive, placed infinite value on Pache's kindness and treated him as a dear friend; and I, always moved by the usefulness I believed he had for my husband, showered him with esteem and affection." Pache thus became the secretary to the Minister of the Interior, Roland.
According to Lenôtre and Madame Roland, Pache's daily routine during this time, when he held his position, was as follows: “Every morning, at precisely seven o'clock, Pache could be seen crossing the courtyard of the ministry. He would enter the minister’s office, sit at his desk, and get to work. Attentive, prudent, zealous, and silent, he would not leave his chair all day. At ten o'clock, he would take a piece of bread from his pocket and eat without leaving his seat; at three o'clock, he would get up, salute, and return to his section, never staying for dinner or accepting any invitation.” (Excerpt from Paris révolutionnaire: Vieilles maisons, vieux papiers, most likely using Madame Roland’s memoirs as a source.)
It is therefore not surprising that some sources claim he followed the Girondin political line, declaring himself in favor of war. He would later be approached by Servan. According to Lenôtre in the same book, “He did not boast of it; on the contrary, he remained calm, cold, reserved, never attending meetings or going to the theater. At the end of the day, he would return to his modest apartment on Rue Tournon, kiss his children, and take up his harp, which seemed to be the only confidante of his mysterious ambitions.”
Contrary to what Manon Roland implies, it seems that Pache also politically educated his children during this period. Madame Roland said, “Pache had founded a popular society in the Luxembourg section, whose educational purpose was civism; he was very diligent in this society, and it seemed as though he dedicated to the country, like any citizen, all the time he did not give to his children, which separated the lessons from the public courses to which he took them.” However, despite the young age of his children, we can at least see that Sylvie had signed a 1792 manifesto and that he had at least taken the time to write a letter of recommendation for his son Jean (who will be the subject of another post).
According to Monge’s biography on Louis de Launay, Manon Roland had as much affection for Pache as she had for Monge at the time. Here is an excerpt: “As for the relations between the ministers, they started off much more intimate than later accounts would suggest. Mme Roland, who later painted Danton as the leader of a band of assassins and Monge as a maratised bear, got along very well with both at the start. She herself tells us that Danton came to see her almost every day and frequently asked her to dine with him. With Monge, she also participated in countryside meals and walks, where she would amusingly entertain her little girls. One day, among others, when the two families, Monge and Pache, had taken the children to Meudon to visit Pache’s cousin, Mme Roland also came to dine, and they played little games with her. Louise Monge hid the prizes in her apron and pulled them out. After bringing Mme Roland’s prize, she mischievously made the Minister of the Interior, who readily agreed, kiss her thumb. [Biography by Eschassériaux.]
Mme Roland, usually imagined in a more dramatic attitude, was then very cheerful; this didn’t prevent her, according to the memories of the Monge family, from playing the role of Égérie in the ministry, which the public voice commonly attributed to her. When the ministers dined at Monge’s table, which often occurred during the weeks when the Minister of the Navy held the presidency, one would see after dinner Mme Roland enter, bringing with her the official correspondence that had arrived for her husband during the session, correspondence which she had already sorted through and placed on the table.”
During this difficult time, Pache was a hard worker, although France was at war and in a calamitous position against the enemy and had to share with his Girondin colleagues the disgrace of being ministers imposed by Louis XVI. Yet, he did not give up his political activities, especially that of president of the Luxembourg Society. It was at this moment, according to Avenel, that he would get to know his future son-in-law, the Hébertist Xavier Audouin, delegate of the Fontaine-de-Grenelle section, better at the Commune. “Since they both lived on the left bank, they would almost always go together in the evenings. Halfway, Pache would return to his family and sometimes talk to Sylvie about his companion along the way.”
Very quickly, his popularity would grow even further. According to Michel Eude, Pache became a commissioner at the Revolutionary Commune through the Luxembourg section, then administrator of Paris after August 21, where he was sent to restore order in Toulon at the request of his friend Gaspard Monge, the Minister of the Navy, as war commissioner.
But for now, despite having made friends with Hébertists like Audouin, he was still considered a Girondin. Moreover, Manon Roland is said to have said, “Only one citizen could occupy the difficult position of Minister of the Interior, the venerable Pache, a new Abdolonyme, modest, wise, an enemy of all sorts of display, appreciated by those who knew him, full of devotion to the public cause.”
Upon the resignation of Servan, he was elected Minister of War on October 3, 1792, receiving 441 votes out of 560. He undertook a monumental task, first reorganizing the ministry’s offices in a building on Grange Bâtelière Street, replacing many department heads, and renewing the service. He surrounded himself with collaborators such as Vergne, Hassenfraz, General Meunier, etc. He also relied heavily on his friend Gaspard Monge, whom Manon Roland mentioned in her memoirs, saying, “When Pache became Minister, he became Monge’s regulator, his admirer, and his friend, who had no other opinion than his own, which he received as divine inspiration.” He made his future son-in-law, Audouin, his secretary-general. He also shared the views of Garat.
Militarily, Pache sought to group the forces under a single commander for operations in Belgium and Germany, confirming Dumouriez’s command and reorganizing the eastern forces under Custine. After a conflict with Kellermann, he replaced him with Beurnonville. He also obtained a law expanding his powers to appoint officers. It seems that Pache also had difficulties with General Custine.
Pache imposed on the generals detailed reports on personnel and supplies, and prohibited them from communicating directly with the Convention or negotiating with the enemy without permission. In January 1793, he appointed La Bourdonnaye to lead the army of the coasts for maritime defense.
With the support of Clavière and Cambon, Pache convinced Monge and Roland to create a purchasing directory to centralize military supplies (one of those directing the purchasing directory was a Swiss banker named Bidermann). This body was created in November 1792 and was supposed to begin in January 1793, after which Pache ordered the suspension of orders by the military supplies administration.
It was during this period that he would deal with one of his most irascible enemies, Dumouriez, which would mark a breaking point with the Girondins.
Indeed, there were several incidents between him and Dumouriez. Pache clearly suspected, and rightly so, waste and fraud (it seems that in his memoirs, Dumouriez referred to Pache as either a revolutionary fanatic or an honest man). Dumouriez despised Pache so much that he reportedly went after his daughter, Sylvie Pache, a young teenager, saying she was as ugly as she was wicked.
Tension increased when Pache sent several people, including the soon-to-be Hébertist revolutionary Ronsin, to monitor General Dumouriez in Belgium. What Ronsin saw was so alarming, according to him, that he denounced the suppliers’ malpractices.
On November 22, the tension between Dumouriez and Pache would escalate further when an arrest warrant was issued for the army’s suppliers in Belgium.
However, I don’t believe the break between the Girondins and Pache was fully realized at this time, despite the Dumouriez affair. Indeed, there is a letter from Treillhard advising Pache to flee on December 31, 1792: “You are lost if you stay: Manuel, Thuriot, and Marat have won their case; flee.”
But during this period, Pache grew closer to the Montagnard policy, and they supported him more. He had entrusted the general secretariat to a committed Hébertist named Xavier Audouin, had him marry his daughter Sylvie in the presence of Hébert (who, although a great friend of Xavier Audouin, only replaced a last-minute wedding witness), and had already sent a Montagnard sympathizer, Ronsin, to monitor Dumouriez.
Shortly after, Pache would be ousted from his ministry. He had alienated the Girondins, with whom he began to disagree on their policies. But it was Barère and Chambon who delivered the final blow. To better understand the context, we need to go back in time. Here is an excerpt from Bloche and Diallo in Les Ministres de la Guerre:
“On November 6, Pache ordered the military supplies administration to cease making orders. On the same day, Dumouriez defeated the Austrians at Jemappes, thus opening Belgium to his armies, while Pache wanted them to go support Custine. On the 14th, Dumouriez entered Brussels, then moved on to Liège. Not receiving the necessary supplies and cash, he reproached Pache for being poorly surrounded, and after the conquest of Liège, he set up winter quarters in early December. At the same time, we lost Frankfurt. On December 11, Roland abandoned the purchasing directory, whose heads, the bankers J. Bidermann and M. Perr, were beginning to exercise a real monopoly. In fact, before the date set for the directory’s activity to begin, it had already sent its agents to Belgium and the Rhineland. Former administrators of the provisions office, along with Dumouriez or Carnot, opposed it. The general refused, for instance, that all contracts be made by the directory because he had his own commissaries. Pache, accused of poorly supervising his agents, had to answer for the bad supply of the army in Belgium before the Convention. After this incident, the purchasing directory had its powers reduced. When it eventually started operating, lacking resources, it became increasingly unpopular and went bankrupt within weeks, giving way to the old provisions office, the Doumerc company.
At this point, Pache’s position was fragile. Dumouriez had returned to Paris, determined to overthrow the minister. On January 3, 1793, the Convention launched an inquiry into Pache’s actions, and the newly created Committee of General Security had him appear on January 7. This committee decided to reorganize the Ministry of War, deeming the direction of the department too heavy for one man. A directory was created, consisting of three commissioners charged with this reform, which was completed in a month. Dubois-Crancé, president of the Committee on War and rapporteur of the Committee on General Defense, strongly inspired by the Mémoire sur la campagne de 1793 that he had requested from Pache, developed a project that would prevail by the end of January. On February 2, Chambon accused Pache of incompetence and poor management of the supply problem. But it was Barère who delivered the final blow the same day, demanding the minister’s resignation. Without even waiting for the end of the investigation that it had initiated against Pache, the Convention elected Beurnonville as his replacement” (what is ironic is that both Pache and Carnot were “Girondins,” both of whom had supported the war, but they would move closer to Montagnard politics, which rightly suspected Dumouriez's behavior, thus marginalizing them in some way among the Girondins, although they were quite antagonistic towards one another and each wanted to resolve the Dumouriez issue in a different way; not to mention other points in common between them).
Pache will have tried to justify himself on January 1, 1793, with a letter reminding of the severity of his principles and that a great nation that triples its forces “may be momentarily in trouble.” But nothing worked. Dumouriez would even attend the sessions of the Executive Council, where he took aim at Pache, accusing him of disorganizing the army at a critical moment: “Mr. Pache! I do not call you citizen because you have lost that title in my eyes. You are either a fool or a scoundrel… Get out!”
This is how the protagonists of the time would characterize Pache’s tenure as minister. Brissot claimed, “Pache has disorganized our armies, he has degraded and insulted the Convention by protecting the seditious, (…) he has squandered the funds of the Ministry of War (…) and caused our external disasters.”
Reveillière-Lapeaux under the Directory would say apparently that Pache was one of the greatest squanderers of public wealth. Manon Roland said he was politically unfaithful.
For his part, Marat ardently defended Jean Nicolas Pache in his newspaper on February 4, 1793, calling him "poor Pache." He insisted that he was a patriot, had made salutary reforms, and had taken measures to rid the office of counter-revolutionaries.
Additionally, on March 10, 1793, Marat affirmed that part of the staff “is doing very well today, maybe too well for certain individuals who can no longer dispose of jobs for themselves or their friends…” The minister had dismissed a large number of heads of certain administrations, replacing them with good patriots who worked for the revolution of the 10th.”
Maximilien Robespierre made public praises: "Minister Pache alone (of his colleagues) retained a character of firmness and civism that greatly honors him and which should be applauded.” (January 1, 1793). Robespierre would remain an ally of Pache (and Augustin Robespierre would also praise his work when he was mayor) until the 8th of Thermidor ( 1794), in a speech where it seemed that he abandoned Pache.
Pache also had the support of Hébert, who said of him, “At that time, there was only one man in the ministry who blocked their path: the brave Pache. Instead of indulging in counter-revolutionary plotting, he exposed it. Everything was used to ruin the man they couldn’t corrupt. They called him a fool, an idiot, who let himself be governed by scoundrels. They even mocked his old coat and his torn elbows. Gorsas and Brissot then said everything about him that the Old Cordelier later copied from their pamphlets. The sans-culotte Pache could only oppose his virtue to all the attacks of intrigue; he succumbed. He was replaced by the mountebank Beurnonville (...). A recruit from Coblenz succeeded the brave sans-culottes whom Pache had surrounded himself with.”
Albert Mathiez supported Pache. Jean Tulard wondered if Pache, with the banker Bidermann, was a “frontman or a skilled politician.” Libermann said, “Pache incurred grave responsibilities during his time as minister. It seems to us that his intentions were good, but he was often overwhelmed by events and by the immense task he faced.”
Isabelle Fourneron and Aurélien Larnier were also in favor of Pache.
It seems to me that Diallo and Bloche are divided between supporting Pache and pointing out the imprudence he may have committed.

Herboreal is an artist I discovered and met recently through Twitter. Her work calls like an ancient spell of witchcraft old, drawing influence from the occult and intertwining it with plants and nature to truly evoke The Green Witch. She is a passionate witch herself with an interest in herbalism and I can tell her work is deeply personal and created with a lot of love.

Among my favorites are her digital pieces which achieve a stunning sense of lighting and atmosphere. With a palette of earthy tones and muted -, they almost give off a nostalgic feeling - like looking into a magical world, beyond a thin veil and just out of reach.


Alongside her illustrations, she also creates intricately designed pins and patches in her shop (which I have just bought from!) each with beautiful and aesthetically pleasing designs. As well as an all manner of plants and creatures, she also has a whole collection focusing on disability and chronic illness pride.

I highly recommend that you check out and support her work if you are looking for lovingly made crafts and of course, gorgeous occult art with a naturalistic approach. ✸ Website | Twitter | Instagram ✸
