Life
He began life as a lawyer in Liège, where he met Joseph Lebeau and Charles Rogier, with whom he refounded the Matthieu Lansbergh (later renamed le Politique) as a pro-unionist publication. Elected to the National Congress of Belgium, he and Lebeau defended the candidature of Auguste de Beauharnais, 2nd Duke of Leuchtenberg against that of Prince Louis, Duke of Nemours. In 1831 he took part in Lebeau's cabinet as minister without portfolio – it was Devaux who suggested Leopold of Saxe-Coburg-Gotha as a candidate for the throne of Belgium.

gollark: Well, for whatever reason, height is weirdly correlated with a bunch of general life outcomes (I forgot the exact details). Obviously there's the whole correlation/causation thing, but it's possible that, magically keeping all else equal, greater height causes those.
gollark: Discriminant of a number field.
gollark: I agree.
