Charles-Alexandre-Balthazar-François-de-Paule, baron de Baert-Duholant naît à Saint-Omer dans l'ancienne province de l'Artois dans le royaume de France sous le règne du roi Louis XV. Il se livre dans sa jeunesse au goût qu'il avait pour les voyages, visita l'Angleterre en 1787 et 1788, puis l'Espagne, et rentre à Saint-Omer au commencement de la Révolution française. Élu député du département du Pas-de-Calais à l'Assemblée législative, le 31 août 1791, il vote constamment avec la minorité modérée ; dans la séance du 21 octobre 1791, il parle en faveur de la liberté des cultes. Il est un des sept députés, qui, le 20 avril 1792, votent contre la déclaration de guerre à l'Autriche ; le 20 juin, lors de l'invasion des Tuileries, il reste auprès de Louis XVI pour le protéger. Découragé par les événements du 10 août, il part pour l'Amérique, revint à Saint-Omer après le 18 brumaire et épouse Mlle de Montboissier, la fille de Charles-Philippe-Simon de Montboissier-Beaufort-Canillac et petite-fille de Chrétien Guillaume de Lamoignon de Malesherbes. Leurs fille épouse le comte Nicolas Michel Le Peletier de Saint-Fargeau des Forts. Élu député par le collège de département du Loiret, le 22 août 1815, il fait partie de la minorité dans la Chambre introuvable, et renonce à la vie politique après cette législature. Baert-Duholant a publié plusieurs ouvrages, fruits des notes réunies dans ses voyages ; le plus important est le Tableau de la Grande-Bretagne, de l'Irlande et des possessions anglaises dans les quatre parties du monde, 4 vol. in-8° avec cartes, figures (Paris, 1800).
