Napoléon Ier (1769-1821)
10 L.S. "Napoleon," "Napole" or "Nap," Berlin October 30-November 22, 1806, to Archchancellor
CAMBACÉRÈS| the letters are written by Méneval| 11 half-pages in-4. [261-270]
Sejour a Berlin a la fin de la campagne de Prusse, et avant la campagne de Pologne. At the head of 8 letters, Cambaceres noted: "to copy entirely".
October 30. On the 23, Cambaceres had "not yet received the bulletin of the battle of the 14 [Jena]. I think that you will not have delayed to receive it. I have been in Berlin for two days, very busy. - I am sending you a report from the minister Dejean. I cannot conceive that the Prefects take it upon themselves, in a matter as important as recruitment, without waiting for my order. The King of Holland does not command in the interior of the Empire.
When, then, will the Prefects have a little sense and aplomb? Have them write to that effect. No foreign recruiter should recruit in
France. A very solemn decree is necessary to get rid of this order"...
At the head, Cambaceres noted: "to copy in whole as well as the letter hereafter of general Dejean".
October 31. "I have just ordered that the general CANCLAUX would be charged to organize and would command three thousand national guards of the departments of the Somme and the lower Seine. Gal RAMPON commands 6,000 in St. Omer, that will make nine thousand who will be able to go either to Boulogne or to Cherbourg, according to the events. I ordered that the general
LAMARTILLIÈRE would organize 3000 in Bordeaux. Press for all that to be done at present, so that my coasts are not without defense for the moment as well as for the next spring| because it is possible that my army will not be back by that time, although I hope to be back in person. [...] In all probability, if the English send people, it will be to Hanover to support Sweden, as they send them to Sicily to support the King of Naples. - You will see by the twenty-fourth bulletin, the situation of my affairs here. Everything is going as well as it is possible to imagine. Prussia is destroyed and no longer counts for anything. My losses are light. One could not be in a better position"... November 3. "The news of General MARMONT's success [at Weyer] against the Russians is true"... November 9th. After the combat of Lubeck: "Here is all the Prussian army finished: it does not remain beyond the Vistula twenty thousand men to the King of
Prussia. - Send for the ambassador of the Porte. Tell him that I know that the Porte has been forced to re-establish the two hospodars, but that I am in Warsaw and that I will not make peace unless they are chased out and replaced by friends of the Porte| that the Porte must take courage and show a little energy, that all the Russian forces will be obliged to come to me to defend Russian Poland, that it is necessary that the
Porte takes advantage of this moment to show troops in Choczin and on the borders of the Dniester"... November 10. "I give you all my powers for the matter of the Jacobin conspiracy. [...] It should not be given more importance than it deserves. It is possible that a small example will not be useless, so that in the future malicious people will not be on the lookout for events in the hope of setbacks, in order to stir things up. - I see with sorrow that stagecoaches are stopped. It is necessary to awaken the solicitude of the police and to deploy a little force. [...] My intention is that the four dragoon depots which are in Paris provide each one a detachment of thirty men commanded by an officer| these four detachments forming 120 men will be distributed on the roads of Chartres, on the borders of the Orne, on the side of Andelys and Evreux. As soon as the evil increases, a flying camp will be formed on the spot, composed of riflemen and voltigeurs of the 2nd, 4th and 12th regiments of light infantry, 120 dragoons and several brigades of gendarmerie. This force of 5 or 600 men will go successively to Évreux, to Andelys, to l'Aigle and if necessary to Domfront, to arrest the bad people and to search the forests.
That will reassure the good citizens and will compress this beginning of malevolence. But it is up to the archbishop of Rouen to issue monitories against this public brigandage, if the evil increases"... November 13. "I am sending you a manuscript found in the Cabinet of the
King of Prussia. I desire that it be printed in Paris on beautiful paper, and that you have a man of letters write a rapid précis which paints all the indignity of the division of Poland and its influence on the abasement of Sweden & the Porte and consequently on the balance of Europe.
It is necessary that this preface of the editor which will be put at the head of the book is made during the printing, & that the work is published under eight days.
One could put for title: Manuscript found in the Cabinet of the King of Prussia in Berlin"...
