Napoléon Ier (1769-1821)
3 L.S. "Bonaparte" (the 1st with autograph compliment), Lyon 1 and 2 pluviôse X [January 21 and 22, 1802], to Consuls CAMBACÉRÈS and LEBRUN; the letters are written by Bourrienne; 2 and 3 pages in-4, engraved vignettes with the name of Bonaparte I Consul of the Republic. [56 , 57, 58] 1st pluviose. One should not let the Batave fleet stay in Brest. Pay a great attention that the twenty bad members of the Tribunate are removed. You can assure very positively that as long as men such as Thiesse, Chazal, Chénier, Garat will be in the Tribunate, I will not present any bill ". He attended "the ball that the trade gave to my wife". He complains about the service of fodder in the department of Ain...He adds with his hand: "Affectionate greeting".
2 pluviose. "The thaw and the floods have delayed your mail by a few hours. The forage service is completely disorganized in the department of the Drôme [...] The civil hospitals, to which only fourteen sols are granted for the days of sick soldiers, complain that they have not yet received anything for the year ten. [...] The work on the organization of the Piedmontese troops, which I signed more than a month ago, has not yet reached Turin, which spreads anxiety in this country. In general there is delay and inactivity in the war department. This is the opinion of all those who deal with this department.
It is necessary that the Minister of War send an old and good ordinator to Turin. [...] All the principal provisions of the
Consulte are stopped.
I always count on being in Paris in the course of the decade. It would be desirable that the Senate names a dozen Prefects to the Tribunate and the Legislative body. That of Mont Blanc would be of the number. I would wish that you make put in the newspapers some articles to raise the swindle of Fouilhoux and to turn into ridicule the foreign fly-agarics who spread in all Europe absurd noises, all founded on the bulletin of a small swindler who did not have what to dine and who fooled them "...In head, autograph note of Cambaceres: "the 5 pluviose writes to the minister of the war, and to that of the public treasury".
2 pluviose. "All the information, Citizens Consuls, which comes to me from the Maritime Alps carry me to wish that the Inspector with the reviews, the
Commre of the wars, the Commissioners of the Navy are changed. The
Minister of the war will recommend to the general commanding the Division to change the garrison of Nice, in order to put an end to all the divisions which exist in this Department "...At the head, autograph note of Cambaceres: "the 5 pluv writes to the minister of the war".
