La Quotidienne was a royalist newspaper founded in 1790, which was succeeded in 1848 by L'Union, also of royalist vein.

History

La Quotidienne — originally La Quotidienne, ou Feuille du jour — was created by Alphonse-Alexandre-Félix Coutouly at the start of the French Revolution.[lower-alpha 1] The events of 1792 caused it to cease publication, but it resumed in July 1794, after the fall of Robespierre, first under a different title (Le Tableau de Paris), then under its original name. Banned by order of the Directory in 18 Fructidor Year V; after publication of a prospectus in Year VII, the paper was banned again by order of 16 Fructidor Year VII (2 September 1799).

In 1817, Joseph-François Michaud became editor-in-chief, a position he held until his death in 1839, although from 1824 to 1829, after a lengthy trial, he was accompanied in his duties by Vincent Bonneau, a Restoration police officer. In 1833, La Quotidienne still employed ‘the learned Cohen, who was in charge of translating foreign newspapers’, a post later abolished ‘by the creation of agencies that provided translated extracts’, as one of the editors recalled.

In the course of 1838, Michaud sold his shares to La Quotidienne due to poor health and was eventually replaced as editor-in-chief by the new owner, the Count of Locmaria. Locmaria, a former lieutenant-colonel, ran the newspaper like a regiment, which led to numerous rebuffs from its editors and resignations.[2]

The first published evidence that Edgar Alan Poe was known outside the English-speaking world is an adaptation of his tale William Wilson that appeared in La Quotidienne in December 1844 under the title "James Dixon: or the Disastrous Resemblance".[lower-alpha 2]

In February 1847, it merged with La France and L'Écho français to create L'Union monarchique (renamed L'Union in 1848).
