The ministry was headed by Marshal Édouard Mortier, duc de Trévise, who accepted the position out of loyalty to the king. He was not an experienced parliamentarian and was unable to command respect. On 20 February 1835 he submitted his resignation.[1] The cabinet was replaced on 12 March 1835 by the Cabinet of Victor de Broglie.[2]
