[1] He was an opponent of the Restoration government, and on 16 March 1830 was one of the 221 deputies who voted for an address that was hostile to the Ministry of Jules de Polignac, which led to the dissolution of the house.

[4] Paris was calm on 26 July, although there were stirrings of protest against the blows the ordinances had dealt against the powers of the legislators and the press.

[6] In a meeting held in the home of Jacques Laffitte on 27 July, while others procrastinated for fear or respect for the rule of law, Audry was among the five or six deputies who decided to fight.

[1] Audry, at that time a rich and powerful man, invited the deputies from the Left to meet in his house beside his rolling factory on 28 July.

[8] Mauguin demanded the formation of a provisional government, but the deputies could not agree on a protest that François Guizot had written, which said only that the advisers of the king had deceived his intentions.

General Lafayette was confirmed as commander of the National Guard[11] According to Audry, it was he who refused to negotiate with the envoys of King Charles X of France.

[15] The Orleanist outcome of the July Revolution had only partly satisfied him, and in 1832 he was a member of the steering committee that founded the Society of the Rights of Man (Société des droits de l'homme) intended to maintain the revolutionary spirit.

He refused to appear before the House of Peers, and was not concerned since Michel de Bourges and Ulysse Trélat, co-signatories, had assumed full responsibility.

[1] A passport dated 15 April 1831 describes Audry as 57 years old, height 5.45 feet (1.66 m), gray hair, high forehead, brown eyebrows, gray-blue eyes, large nose, average mouth, chestnut beard, dimpled chin, round face, dark complexion, resident in Paris at 8 rue de Valois.

[14] A contemporary said that if the hôtel Laffitte was the cradle of the revolution, Audry's establishment was where it broke free of its swaddling clothes and sprang to victory at the Hôtel-de-Ville and the throne of Charles X.
