The Ultramontane party was roused by the boldness of Montalembert and his two friends who then left for Rome. They failed to win any mitigation of the measures which the Roman curia took against "L'Avenir". Its doctrines were condemned in two encyclicals, "Mirari vos" in 1832 and "Singulari Nos" in 1834, and Montalembert submitted. In 1835 he took his seat in the Chamber of Peers, and his competence soon made him famous. He clung to his early liberalism, and in 1848 saw the end of a government towards which he had always been hostile. In 1848 he was elected to the Chamber of Deputies. He was at first inclined to support Napoleon III, but was soon alienated by his policy. Montalembert remained in the Chamber until 1857, when he was obliged to retire to private life. He was still recognised as a formidable opponent of the Empire. Meanwhile, his Liberal ideas had made him some irreconcilable enemies among the Ultramontanists. Louis Veuillot, in his paper, "L'Univers religieux", opposed him. In 1855 Montalembert answered them by reviving a review which had for some time ceased publication, "Le Correspondant". This he used to fight the party of Veuillot and the far-left Liberals of the "Revue des deux mondes".
