" SIRE,
'* ’ our majesty has directed me, by
your order ol the date of the l?tb of this month,
to m.;ke a report of all that concerns the ex re
neral Ssrrazin
“ John Sarrarsin w*a bom in the hourg of St.
Siloche, in the canton of t’enne, in the depart
ment of the LotJind Gsrodhe, on the 15th Au
gust, 1770. Jlis parents v/ere farmers: on the
27ui September, 178C, lie enrolled himself in
the 5th regiment ofdracoons, which wa»disban
del on the Kth Sep. 1787- '
“At this time he settled at Rede, in the depart
ment o' I .a Gironde, where lie exercised the pro
fession of tescher of the mathematics. On the
1st of September, 1790, he obtained tiie place
of professor of mat hematics in the school ol Sor
rezze, which was then under the direction of the
Benedictine* ; and it was, no doubt, this circtun.
stance which g ive rise to the report that he had
been a monk ; an assertion which certainly has
never been proved.
“ He left this employment two years afterJ 1
wards, to follow the imminent which almost the *
I whole French naiion then made towards the
! frontiers j and hu repaired to the army of the
I North. 7
I “ Being sent to Chalons for the instruction of
! the young engineers in the school of artill'-ry, he
was there when, after the taking of V°rdun, the
inhabitants of Chalons form* d a battalion, of
which he was appointed adjutant major / the
functions of which appointment he performed
till the 20lh of Sep'embcr 1792. the time of he
disbanding of litis battalion. But tluse c.ircum* ;
stances, found in a memoir signed by himself
are only warranted by his own declaration_
What is certain is, that he was appointed at Metz
lieutenant o' a volunteer company called the St.
Maurice, at the end of 1792, and captain of the
sprue company on the 13th March, 1799,
" On Ids first entrance into this service,
gave proofs of his rc»ilP*s Und intriguing spirit,
winch fie lias constantly shewn in his military
career He confess » himself in the memorial
above cited, that for having taken part in some
remoos’! aocea which appeared seditions,' hr
was brok* o and degraded by order of gen * You*
chard, in 1793, and obliged to serve ass com*
mon sohb' r. He adds, that on the 1st ofOrto
h r, 1793, he j »ned at Chat lion the chasseurs
oftfu' GTonne ; that he was present in differ
ent affa sin the* army of La Vendee, in which
V* was »a qual'ty of *ecret .ry to gen. Marretu,
and w^*i i ; ,i *mied adjunct to the adjutant gen- ’
ral, ou the Jfdi yf l’rairial, year Qn the §th
pfFructidor, of the s.me year, he was appointed
adjunct ofthe first class of the corps of art ill cry,
by the representative of the people Guy.it %vh * had
been sent to the army of Hie Sambre and the
Meuse.
“ On the 6th of Brumatre, year 3, the same
representative ap.oointcd him adjutant general,
chief of battalion, in consideration of the testimo
•lies which grn Merceau had given of his con
duct after the expedition oP Coblent z
• “ The 13th of Brumaire, 3d year, liis appoint
ment was confirmed by the committee o, pub
lie welfare; and on the 5tli Frairt il following, h
obtuined the commission of atljiuanl general ■
chief of brigade.
“ Ho m idfc the campaigns of the year 3, year
4, and year 5, wth the armies ot the Samhre &
Meuse, and I * aly
“ On the 27th Frtictidor. 6.h year, he recciv
ed orders to proceed to Rochefort, to serve in
one efthe divisions of the armv of Kui-land.
He was one of the small number.of Frenchnvtr.
who made good their descent in Ireland ; and he
was appointed by general Humbert, general of
brig tile at the capture of Klialt, and general of
division at the atfair of Castlebar, where he took
a standard from the enemy's liorse.
** On his return t France, he found the exe
cutive directory v«#ry little disposed to confirm
s-> rapid a promotion. He demanded to serve as
adjutant general of the armv of Italy, comman-i
ded by general Joubcrt Having been charged
to conduct a uody of troops to the army of Rome,
lie made with that army the campaign of the 7th
year in Naples, and wag appointed general of
brigade on the field of bat'le, after the afi'.iir of
Trebia. In the army of Italy his suspicious and
doubtful conduct exposed him to suspicion, hu
miliating K>r a military person ; he .was charged
with acting the part of an informer. His con
stant opposition to the orders of his chief*
strengthened that opinion, and the unpleasant
treatment he experienced compelled him in ask
leave to retire. On the llfh Fluviose, he r
ceived orders to return to Trance. On the 1st
Prairial, year9, notice was given him that he
was no longer in the list of the stafi\ifJ«cer*.
** Returned to private life, his nutura! inquie
tude inspired him with several plans- lie re
quested sometimes to he employed in Ametic.i,
and sometimes in the East Indies lie expres
sed a desire to serve in the troops of the But t\i.vi
republick ; but lie fulfill. <t none of these n s-lu
tions ; anti he was si.11 in France, when on the
10th of Vendemaire lie was re established on the
• ' *fl of generals of brigade, in the room of g-.-n
■ al Colli, appointed general of di'sion Two
m niths afterward* lie w s -ppointed to go to St.
Domingo He remained there only a year; tie
had s ale of I .s health induced general R .cliam

accu*-r of the gen-r.ls and administrations o.f i

The cry. of ir.d guation %7bir.li was raised against

On the _•» 1st of iJctober, 1806, he was em
ployed in tin: 24 li md*tary division, under the or
ders of gen Cminbailhac, who confided to him
the command of the department ofthe Lys The
misunderstanding which soon too'* pl.-ce between
the prefect and him, evinced the necessity of gi

censed against (tim the.inbabitait-j, the authori

which reached government, induced it to again
change his residence, and he received letters of
service for the !6di military division
“ He served in tills division from the lllli Fe
hruary, 1809 ; and had the happ ness to live there
in excellent harmony with both his superiors and
subalterns ; tdl by the most disgraceful deser
tion, he imprinted an indelible opprobrium on his
name.
“ Such is the history of gen Ssrrazin, which
to speak properly, is only that of the eximva
