LAMARTINE, ALPHONSE DE (1790-1869).—­Minister for Foreign Affairs in the French Republican Government.  The British Ministry through Lord Normanby threatened him with the possible rupture of diplomatic relations if he gave an encouraging reply to the Young Ireland deputation.  Politically Lamartine was more of the school of the British Whigs of his period than of any native French school.  His high character and literary abilities were held in deserved esteem by his countrymen, but as a man of affairs he was never really successful.
