His grandfather had been grand louvetier of France; his father was Charles Louis Bernard de Clron, comte d'Haussonville Comte Joseph had filled a series of diplomatic appointments at Brussels, Turin and Naples before he entered the chamber of deputies in 1842 for Provins. Under the Second Empire, he published a liberal anti-imperial paper at Brussels, Le Bulletin franais, and in 1863 he actively supported the candidature of Prvost Paradol. He was elected to the Acadmie Franaise in 1869, in recognition of his historical writings, Histoire de la politique extrieure du gouvernement franais de 1830 1848 (2 vols., 1850), Histoire de la runion de la Lorraine la France (5 vols., 1854-1859), L'glise romaine et le premier empire 1800-1814 (5 vols., 1864-1879).

He was the president of an association formed to provide new homes in Algeria for the inhabitants of Alsace-Lorraine who elected to retain their French nationality. In 1878 he was made a life-senator, in which capacity he allied himself with the Right Centre in defence of the religious associations against the anti-clericals. He died in Paris on the 28th of May 1884. His wife Louise (1818-1882), a daughter of Duc Victor de Brogue, published in 1858 a novel Robert Emuret, followed by Marguerite de Valois reine de Navarre (1870), La Jeunesse de Lord Byron (1872), and Les Dernires Annes de Lord Byron (1874).
