Napoléon Ier (1769-1821)
3 L.S. "Bonaparte" (the 1st with autograph compliment), Dieppe 19 and 20 brumaire XI [November 10 and 11, 1802], to Consul CAMBACÉRÈS| the letters are written by Méneval| 2 and a half pages and 2 pages in-4, engraved vignettes with the name of Bonaparte I Consul of the Republic. [87, 88 and 89]
Sejour a Dieppe.
19 brumaire. "It is necessary to open all the letters of which
M. de Stainville was the bearer" [Claude-Antoine de Choiseul-Stainville], basing himself on the principle "that he was in the pay of the English, that he bore arms against the Republic, and that information from London which never deceived me learned that he had been in London to be paid for a pension which the English make him. You have done perfectly well to have the second performance of Moliere at Ninon's [by Olympe de
Gouges] postponed. The head of the office of the theaters at the Ministry of the Interior must be punished for not having felt that a sentence like that could give rise to some scandal. I do not see any inconvenience in your appointing whoever you deem most worthy, either for the court of
Trier, or for the vacant judiciary. I arrived in Dieppe yesterday at half past six in the evening. The city was illuminated with a very particular taste| but I find myself lodged by vanity of small city in a very bad house where all the chimneys smoke. I crossed Fécamp, S. Vallery. The road from Le Havre to Dieppe being a crossing road, the cars often had to walk at a pace, which enabled the inhabitants of the surrounding villages to follow me on my way, and we often had conversations together. All that I saw either in this country, or in the spirit of the people, appeared to me extremely satisfactory ".
He adds with his hand: "Affectionate greeting".
20 brumaire. "I believe that you did wrong to release Mr. de Stainville| it is an act of weakness. I do not conceive anything with the behavior of Portalis.
I had ordered not once, but ten times that the bishops would not move any parish priest temporarily, and yet they always do the opposite.
If, however, Portalis gave the order, the prefects and the bishops must be guilty, and he still finds their conduct quite simple.
A proud and implacable sect wanted to offend the constitutionalists, they defended themselves, and the People supported them. Write to the Grand Judge [Regnier] that I desire that no proceedings be taken against either the constitutionalists or the people of Carcassonne. My intention is that in this diocese more than in any other, there are many constitutionalists. In general, even in the diocese of Rouen, they have been too much abandoned, and although I cannot complain about Rouen, Le Havre, Fécamp, or Dieppe, it is true, however, that even the archbishop of Rouen keeps them too much apart. I wish that you make clear, if it is true that cardinal Caprara imposed a declaration on the constitutionalists, that of returning to the bosom of the Church: it would seem quite extraordinary that Portalis knew nothing about it. Finally it seems appropriate that Portalis and the Great Judge take information before approving the organization of the dioceses"... 20 brumaire. He has information on the abbot David: "If this individual could not be arrested at the beginning, it is very urgent not to spread the word, in order to seize him on his return with all his papers. He is one of the most active agents of Pichegru. I am back from a visit that I have just made to Le Tréport. Tomorrow before daylight, I will set out for Gisors. I will be in Paris at the latest, Saturday evening "...
