He gave her, in 1835, to M.Sambucco, an estimable and agreeable man, of Italian extraction, born in France, and King's counsel in the court of Marseilles.

In 1838 M.Sambucco, who was a man of considerable independence, because he had resources of his own, in some manner highly honorable to himself, incurred the ill-will of the Keeper of the Seals.

He was therefore appointed Advocate-General to Martinique, and after some days of hesitation, accepted the transfer to that remote situation.

But old M.Langevin did not easily console himself for the departure of his daughter: he died two years later without having embraced the little Clementine, to whom it was intended that he should be godfather.

M.Sambucco, his son-in-law, lost his life in 1843, during an earthquake.
