The First cabinet of Louis Mathieu Molé was announced on 6 September 1836 by King Louis Philippe I. It replaced the First cabinet of Adolphe Thiers.

On 19 September 1836 the Ministry of Commerce was replaced by the Ministry of Public Works, Agriculture and Commerce.[1] Following an insurrection on 30 October 1836 in Strasbourg, on 24 January 1837 the Minister of War, Bernard, introduced a draft law that would stop prosecution of crimes committed by the military and the civil authorities during the riots. Discussion began in the Chamber of Deputies on 28 February and continued until 7 March, when it was rejected by the deputies. This caused a ministerial crisis.[2] The cabinet was dissolved on 15 April 1837, replaced by the Second cabinet of Louis Mathieu Molé.[3]
