6 L.S. "Napole", "Napoleon" or "Nap", Lyon 21-25 germinal XIII (April 11-15, 1805), to Archchancellor CAMBACÉRÈS| the letters are written by Méneval| 4 half-pages, 1 page and 1 page and a half in-4. [189-194]
Sejour a Lyon en route to Milan.
21 germinal. "Monsieur l'Archichancelier, I arrived in Lyon yesterday at 3 o'clock. I found in the Department of the Ain and in this great city the same feelings as in the other departments". He wants to know if Crétet (director of the Bridges and Roads) will come to join him... 21 germinal. On the dance at the Opera and the rivalry between the young DUPORT and
VESTRIS. "It seems to me inappropriate at first sight to let Duport do ballets. This young man has not yet had a year of vogue.
When one succeeds in such an eminent way in a genre, it is a little precipitous to want to remove that of people who have whitened in this work"... 23 germinal. "My Cousin, from all the news I receive from
London, it seems to me that the English are very upset about the capture of the islands of Dominica and St. Lucia. They will be much more worried today, when they learn of the departure of my squadron from Toulon, which has been out for 14 days, without anyone having heard of it yet. If it arrives at its destination, it will be able to do them more considerable harm in the Great Indies, because I have connections there with the Marattes| and it is to the artillery and engineering officers sent to them by General Decaen that the successes they have obtained in recent times are due. - It seems that two expeditions of 5 to 6,000 men each have left or are preparing to leave, one for the Greater Indies and the other for the West Indies. They are not militias or volunteers that are being sent, but the best troops. If our flotilla receives the signal and is favored by six hours of good wind, fog and night, the surprised English will find themselves stripped of their best troops. - I am very happy with the Lyonnais. I will go to see their factories today. Tomorrow I will go to the Cathedral to hear the great Easter mass. I will leave on Tuesday for Chambéry"... 24 germinal. He sends draft decrees for the factories of Lyon: "The first one is relative to a deposit of the warehouse of Marseilles that the Lyonnais ask for, the second one, to the institution of a Council of Prudhommes, and consequently to several organizations for the police of the workmen [...] The third one is relative to the gold and silver fabrics and has for goal to prevent that one can abuse the public confidence. The 4th is relative to a request of the Galician Council of the hospitals of Lyon to pursue its affairs before the courts of this city, without needing the intervention of the Council of
Prefecture, which puts slowness in the affairs and makes them remain in delay. First of all, order that these projects be printed as they are proposed| because it is not right that, on the first idea of a vain chatter, one disturbs the demands of a whole factory"... 25 germinal. "My Cousin, I went yesterday to hear the mass of Pasques in the Cathedral of Lyon in very great ceremony. In the evening I attended a very beautiful festival in the kind of that of the Marshals. I leave tomorrow for Chambéry| I will be on Friday in Stupinis [Stupinigi]"... 25 germinal. After a report of the Minister of Police against notables of Antwerp, guilty of smuggling. "I gave order that one arrests all the accused, that one puts inscriptions on their goods and the sequestration on their stores. I wish to know what law condemns them and what must be done to bring them to trial. These cases are of extreme importance. These gentlemen were smuggling almost publicly"...
