Caption
Algiers and Louis Philippe, French Revolution of 1830. On 26th July, 1830, the Polignac ministry, strongly reactionary in its tendencies, published ordinances suppressing the liberty of the press and creating a new system of elections. The result was an insurrection during the three days 27th-29th July by which Charles X was overthrown and Louis Philippe of Orleans proclaimed king on 9th August, 1830. During the last days of Charles X's reign a French expedition had captured the city of Algiers and laid the foundations of the French colony there.
