Baron Auguste Jean Marie de Schonen (12 February 1782 – 4 December 1849) was a French lawyer and politician.
[1] On 29 July 1830 the deputies who had remained in Paris met at Lafitte's house and named an interim Municipal Commission composed of Jacques Laffitte, Casimir Pierre Périer, Georges Mouton, Auguste de Schonen, Pierre-François Audry de Puyraveau and François Mauguin.
[3] De Schonen and two other commissioners accompanied King Charles X of France to monitor his embarkation for England.
[1] At this time de Schonen became a member of the municipal council of Paris and colonel of the 9th Legion of the National Guard.
He was appointed liquidator of the former civil list, and was named by King Louis-Philippe to the position of Attorney General to the Court of Accounts.
[2] De Schonen supported the conservative government policy both in the House of Representatives, where he was Vice President in 1832, 1833 and 1834, and in the Chamber of Peers, to which he was promoted on 3 October 1837, to the disgust of his former political friends.
