 When Jules de Polignac formed his ministry in August 1829, he gave La Bourdonnaye the portfolio of the Interior.The appointment was highly controversial, and the liberal press recalled his association with the amnesty laws and the proscriptions, and with the oppression and executions that had followed in the south of France.La Bourdonnaye was unable to accept cabinet discipline, and resigned on 8 November 1829 when Polignac was made president of the council of ministers.
