23 floreal. On the marriage of his brother Jerome to Elizabeth Patterson.
"If he had married in France before the officers of the civil status, it would be necessary a judgement to make his marriage null| but he married abroad, his contract is not registered in any register, there was no publication of banns, & he is minor. There is no more marriage there than between two lovers who marry in a garden on the altar of love before the moon and the stars. They say they are married, but when the prestige is over, they realize that it is only a fling. Religion would be more of an objection, since they were married by a priest| but I got a bull from the Pope to break this act. Mr. Jerome has come back from his mistake| I sent the young lady back to America, and I am happy with the young man who has a mind, who feels that he has made a mistake and who wants to make amends as far as it depends on him...
23 floreal. It is necessary that PORTALIS "really dispatches all that is relative to the dioceses of Piedmont. Instruct yourselves about what might remain to be done for the clergy of this country. I attach great importance to the fact that, on my return via Alexandria and Turin, everything is finished. Portalis finishes nothing and loses an infinite time| & the organization of the dioceses in the
Piedmont is of the last importance"... 6 prairial. "I do not believe that it is necessary that you write to the King of Prussia. You can highly contradict the news that one spreads of the conclusion of a treaty of alliance of England with Russia. Indirectly assure [autograph addition] the Stock Exchange and elsewhere that
Russia on the contrary refused to listen to any hostile proposal, and that the Emperor of Russia [Alexander I] made me ask for passports for one of his chamberlains that he sends to me here, being in the intention to recover well with France"... 9 prairial. "The people of Genoa seem to want its reunion with France.
The advantages of this reunion and the circumstances seem to me such as they must make me pass over the criticisms of some
Powers. In fact, that can only excite the animadversion of England"... 12 prairial. "My Cousin, I received the draft decree relating to the Courts of Piedmont, and I signed it. Pass as quickly as possible to
Council of State those relating to the formation of several sub-Prefectures, among others that of Ceva. I will receive, I think on Monday, the deputation of the
Government of the Republic of Genoa that brings me addresses covered with thousands of signatures. [...] You feel how delicate the operation of the meeting is, and how much false measures could harm me. Genoa is a country where squandering could do a lot of harm. I will organize a new tribunal of appeal there. I will also order very promptly the publication of the Civil Code. I will stay in Milan longer than I thought. I have many troops to see in Castiglione.
The fortifications of Mantua will also keep me here for a long time. I intend to go and lay the first stone of the Volano bridge at the mouth of the Po.
The business of Genoa will occupy me much time, so that I fear to be retained out of Paris all summer "... 18 prairial. "I made today the opening of the Legislative body'. You will see in the Moniteur the translation of the speech which I pronounced there ".
He worries about the health of Cambaceres: "The heat that it must start to make in Paris will have returned to you the air to which your stomach is accustomed"...
