Protected shipping Source Wikipedia The Leiden Gazette Or Extraordinary News from Various Places is a political newspaper of expression French published at Leiden, Netherlands, between 1677 And 1811. This newspaper established itself as being the most read and the most influential of the second half of the xviiith century. Context[to modify | modify the code]THE United Provinces are, at xviiicentury, a very tolerant country in matters of freedom of the press and of religious freedoms. Unlike the France where reigns censorship, the written press enjoyed very liberal publication conditions for the time. Many Huguenots went into exile in the United Provinces under the reign of Louis XIV, exiles whose number increased with the revocation of the Edict of Nantes in 1685. Several of them publish newspapers in several European cities covering political news in France and Europe. Read by French elites, these newspapers are called, in France, the “foreign gazettes”. Historical[to modify | modify the code]In 1677, a French exiled in the city Dutch of Leiden, Jean-Alexandre de la Font founded a political newspaper aimed at French people in the United Provinces but also at elites across Europe. Although its official name is The Extraordinary News from various places, the newspaper became known as Leiden Gazette. Taken over by Étienne Luzac in 1738, it reached its peak under the direction of his nephew, Jean Luzac, who made it the essential journal of the second half of the xviiith century. Very favorable to new ideas and revolutions American, Batavian And French, the Leiden Gazette is read by Enlightenment, the diplomats and sovereigns of all the courts of Europe. Officially published in 4,200 copies in 1780s, historians estimate that its readers could actually be 50 to 100,000 people, partly due to pirate copies. Favorable to the liberal ideas of the end of the century, Jean Luzac was no less suspicious of violent popular movements and his newspaper lost its importance with the French and Batavian revolutions where the new freedoms of the press confined the Leiden Gazette in an elitist register. Banned for the first time in April 1798, the newspaper reappeared from October under the name New policies from Leiden until 1804, when it was closed again. After stopping publication for fifteen days, the newspaper changed its name to that of Political newspaper and becomes the official organ of the government of the King of Holland Louis Bonaparte upon the death of Luzac in 1807. The Kingdom of Holland being annexed by the France in 1810, the newspaper was closed in 1811 by Napoleon I.
