London, July 21, 1810
General,
I have penned with equal astonish
ment and attention, a Narrative respecting my
ceil*, which was given in the MonitcV.r ot‘ tne 4ih
of this month. . '
You quote only my Memorial of 13th or 23d
Frimaire t but 1 have adriresned no teas than 20
to you ; tlie last, dated from the camp at Bou
lognc, August 27,1809, which contains fourteen
pages; whereas, this which you have quoted has
only four pages. •> \ *
Since you broke me with the army of Italy, oft
being only suspected, why did you restore me
vdth the army of Brest I If we would obtain
credit, we must at least be consistent, and pre
serve an appearance of truth
Whoever shall read your Narrative, and reflect
upon what lie has read, will discover, in'the tone
ol indignation with which you speak, your morti
fication on my having had the good.fortune to escape
Jrom your Battiles \
You have appealed to my twenty-first and last
memorial, I beg you to read throughout—sooner
or later, truth will get tlie Letter ot imposture.
On the 18th of June, you had given General
Clarke no orders to make any report- to you res
pecting roe ; on the 2d July, you learned that I
was in London, busy in unmasking your designs.
You thereupon dictated to your Secretary, s/tiat ,
you believed would do me hurt, and you made i
General Clarke sign it with his name. The whole
world knows that your ministers are simply but j
so. many puppets, not even excepting Gen. Ber
thier himself.
Having procured my discharge from the regi
ment of the Colonel-General of Dragoons, I was
appointed governor to a young nobleman, tlie
Count de Verduzan, with whom I remained in .
that capacity for the space of three years In
-1790, I accepted the office of Mathematical Pro- i
fessor in tlie Royal Military School of Sorize, &
bad tlie care of three sons of the Prince de Beth*
une, as their private tutor.
Having joined the army of the North in 1792,
I acted as volunteer in the first engagements. I
was appointed to the artillery school at Chalons,
a candidate for promotion. Tlie taking of Ver
dun, and the king of Prussia’s approach, occasi
oned a batt&Uion to be raised, to which I was ap
pointed Adjutant-Major, ami in which Mr. De |
marsais, now a Colonel of Artillery, wasoblgcd'
to serve as a volunteer. This officer will certify;
tliis fact, of which you seem to have your doubts !
General Houchard, commanding the army of;
the Moselle, had a nephew whom he wished to'
establish j my company was a fine one t the no- !
bles were dismissed from the army; Houchard
Would insist that 1 was the son of the Count de ■
Sarrazin, an emigrant, who was his Colonel, and
that 1 was very hkc my father. It was in vain j
•Itat I declared myself to be a peasant’s son; so ■
1 was obliged to serve as a private soldier in the '
army of La Vendee
Being appointed by General MaYceau, ia No I
vember, 1793, as his Secretary, 1 put in order the
*oies ol gen. Kleber, Ins particular friend, rela
ting to the eeige of Mentz, and the war of La
"Vendee. It w:»s by the direction o'f these two
•entr'aL, that 1 first set about my work entitled,
* ’ 1 nstructions for troops, during a campaign."
Having followed Gen. Murceau to the army of
Flanders, in April, 1794,1 was present at the bat
tle of Fleurus, which was gained, as I have pro
ved in my observations, by the resolution & fore
light of Gen. Soult.
Being appointed to the corps of Engineers, I
was employed by gen. Jourdan to make the junc
tion oi the armies of the Sambre and Meuse and
the Moselle In the attack ot Coblentz, I suc
ceeded in carrying the redoubts which covered
the br idge of the Moselle
Attlieseige ofMaestricht I xvas appointed ad
jutant general, Chief of Battallion, and Chief
of Brigade at the blockade of Luxembourg! I
was appointed to escort the garrisbn of this place
with Marshal Bender, eighty four years of age,
as far as the Rhine, &. I have the Marshal’s com
mendation of my attention to him.
Employed on the left wing of Gen. Kleber’s ar
my, 1 was engaged to make the preparations for
the first crossing of the Rhine, which took place 1
in Sept 1795. The army bore upon the Maine,
from whence it was driven by gen. Clairfait, who
then forced the lines at Mentz. 1
I was with the right wing of the army during
the campaign of Hundstruck. 1 made the cam- j
paign of Germany with Gen. Bernadotte, as the
chief officer of his staff", when Prince Charles
defeated Jourdan, in August, 1797, and forced
him to retreat to the Rhine At this time it was
that General Moreau effected the retreat so de
servedly admired and that you made your first
campaign in Italy.
Bcrnadotte’s division left Coblentz in Decern
ber, 1796, and joined your army in March, 1797 !
Appointed colonel of the 14lh legiment of Dra 1
goons, I made the campaign of Vienna in that ca
pacity Being recalled by General Bernadotte !
to my former situation, at the head of his staff", j
after the preliminaries of Leobcn, you charged !
me with the commission of paying the honors due
to the Count ot Coben; zel, the M arquis de Gal
lo, t'.e Count de Merfeld, and Gen Clarke, as
Pit nipotentiarii s of the treaty of Campo Formio
You expressed yourself well pleased with the
manuscript copy of “ Instructions for troops du
fj* ring a campaign,” which I had sent you at P«ssa
riano, in July, 1797
*«. intciiuru u*mi i mii'juiu niaKc one to ac
company the embassy to Vienna, and being come
to Paris to proceed on my diplomatic mission, yon i
gave me a good reception, and proposed to me
to accompany you to Egy pt ; but on my refusal
to leave Bernadotte, you insinuated to the direc
tory that a Republic ought to have no gentlemen
following their Ambassadors > and 1 was <ent ofi^
to thearinyof England, commanded by General
Desaix.
Being returned to F ance, after having been ta
ken prisoner in Ireland, 1 wasempl yed with the 1
army of Italy General Joubcrt sent me with 8
battalions to the army of Home, commanded by
General Championci, and afterwards by General
Macdonald. After the retreat of Naples, this
army joined that of Italy at Genoa, then com
manded by general Moreau Government sent
me out letters of service for the army of Switzer
land, commanded by gen M issena.
A t Paris on my way, General Bernadotte, then !
a minister, gave me the office of the Marches of
the troops in the War Departmsnt, it afterwards
that of the Appointments You were still in E
gypt• It was at that time intended to overthrow
the Directory, and appoint three consuls ; Jour
dan, Augcreatt and Bernadotte were the generals
named : 1 was to have been appointed the War j
Minister. Acting upon the information I recei
ved from Bernadutte, tc thinking that my obliga
tions to him required of me to extricate him from
ao dangerous a step, 1 acquainted him with all
that was doing by lhg Directors Sieyes and Bur
ras, who set the machines of the jacobins to
work.
In order to requite my zeal, the Directory ap
pointed m* ambassador to Holland ; but I refused j
to accept of this embassy, being attached to the
army by taate and inclination.
On your return from Egypt, you received
me with transports of joy. You advised me not
to give in my resignation, and yon told me you
would in a little lime appoint me general of a
division. 1 was your fellow laborer on the 18th
U.umaire (November) 1799- Bernadotte, who
had refused you his a#s;sta.ice, and who was
near running you through 'the body when you
first pi oposed your designs to him, had retired
to my estate in the country, near T,ona. Y«u
employ? d me to visit turn, and j cIfy him, and
to nmg him back to his tine u.iioats. You
OMJ reiasraber tfcat it wax at ibis very lune that 1
presented you and taadatne Bonaparte, M well as
nearly the whole of your family, with some very
i •lu:«Me cameos : wh-ch were accepted of, anil
gave great satisfaction. My delicacy would
never have permitted me to have declared this
circumstance, it you had nut forced me, by your
infamous narrative, to the necessity of shew
ing the footing of intimacy 1 was once upon with
you.
In December, 1799, being with the army of
the Rhine,'commanded by General Moreau, I
had the command of General Ney’s division, he
being absent oh leave.
General Bernadotte haying the command of
tlie army of the coasts, you gave me orders,
in April, 1800. to repair to that General, who
intrusted me with the cominmid ol St. Kenan,
near Brest; I hjad with the troops under my com
mand, two thousand Spaniards, landed from the
fieet under the command of Admiral Gravina,
which lay in the road of Brest
In August, 1800, General Murat ’tail the com
mand of 10,000 grenadiers, part of the camp of
Amiens. You ordered me to go there to disci
pline them, a duty which the •eneral was '‘inca
pable of performing. In October there was a
plot to set the Opera house on lire, and to as
sassinate you in the midst of the confusion —
In thirty hours, I marched thirty leagues with
these grenadiers. You were as much aston
ished as you were pleased with this forced
march ; Murat was with you at Paris at this
time. »
You reviewed these troops near Versailles- you
overwhelmed me with compliments upon tlie
occasion, and you had not less than sixty general
officers with you at the time. It is certain that
the grenadiers belonging to the marine, who bail
been only 20 days on ahore, exercised as well as
it they had been veterans. ’ /
During our stay at Versailles, I often went tz
mounted guard at Malmaison You cannot have
forgot the circumstance of a ladder having been
discovered, fixed up against one of the windows
of your apui intents. The discovery is noted in
my observations.
Having joined the army of Italy with these
grenadiers, it was a matter of astonishment to
this army to see ony troops in such good order,
after a march over the Alps in the midst of win
ter for it happened in December, 1800. They
were exercisad in the presence of Gen. Murat,
in the great square Of Milan I frankly replied
to the compliments paid me on the occasion, that
the appearance of these men wax the result of six
month* of labor and fatigue. Murat, animated by
the meanest kind of jealousy, observed, with a
show of great spite, that he would furnish me.
with labor and fatigue for six months. Accor
dingly lie look the grenadiers from me, & gave
me two regiments of new raised men. I remon
strated against this arbitrary proceeding, but to
no purpose ; I spoke to him with the freedom of
an old fellow collegian, in the presence of his
two Aides de-Catup, the Colonels Lagrange and
Beaumont- He turned a deaf ear to my com
pin nts, winch usage has been since returned to
him in Egypt by the General Lannes, to the
knowledge of the whole army.
I returned to France on account of my health ;
and had been at my country seat about a month,
when Gen. Berthier acquainted me that I might
soon expect fresh orders.
You broke me ; and in so doing you did well ;
it was my duty to obey, to make my representa
tions to you, and wait your determination. This
error, the only one you can lay to my charge, as
committed during the whole course of my mili
tary career, was occasioned by the persuasion
you had wrought in me, that you gave me the
preference to Murat, allowance being made for
relationship.
I have never solicited to resign ; 1 have de
nounced no one person ; my conduct has been
generous and open, and by no means insidious
and doubtful. You have endeavored to excuse ■
the dastardly and ungenerous behavior of your
brother in*law ; you have used means that were
very base. If there had been any denunciation,you
would not have failed to mention the date, and
to name the persons so denounced. Falshood is
a certain characteristic of degradation—you will
find by my observations that this is not your first
attempt.
I passed the time 1 was unemployed with the
army, which continued for sixteen months, in
the perusal of my military books. I furnished
many articles to the editor of the “Young officers*
Guide I signed the act of continuation lor life
of your Consulship ; I asked permission to go
into the Dutch service"; you consented to it;—
but when I waited upon the Ambassador, Schim
melpenninck, at Paris, I discovered from his
einbarr-iasment that you had given him orders to !
make me this answer, that “ he would write to
his government, but tt would take a considerable
time ” General Bernadotle can relate to you a j
very delicate scene concerning you, which took j
place between him and me respecting this li-1
cence ; you will, moreover, find it in my obser
vations.
When I setoff to join the army of St. Domin
go, General Berthier assured me that 1 should
find my commission as General of Division with
it. General Kochambcau, of whom I enquired
concerning it, lalighed very much at my credu
lity.
I signed your appointment as Emperor; I was
one of the Generals present when Murat made
his Proclamation speech to you at the Thuille
rie* ; I recollect well all that the Generals Mas
sena, Angereau, Macdonald, Bernadotte, &c.
said to you, as well as your answers. You will
find them very exactly related in my observa
tions.
I never solicited to serve with Augereau ; I
had very good reasons for despising that man,
who disgraces the general’s uniform, and whose
stupidity and greediness for plunder constitute
him a true leader of Banditti. Do you recol
lect that General Bernadotte asked you to allow
me 1o be at the head of his stall' with the Army
of Hanover, and that you replied to him, in my
presence : " General Sarrazin has been in Ire
land ; l -mould have him return hither ?” It is
possible that I may return there 5 but it shall be
to pul the brave Irish on their guard against
your perfidious insinuations, and to advise them
to be faithful to their own government, lest they
meet with the same unhappy fate as has befallen
France, which you have had the cruel address
of forming into one vast prison !
VV'liat you say concerning my conduct with
the Army of Brest is of vpry little importance.—
What probability is there that you would have
suffered me to be with that army, if I had accused
f«»rty Generals, and forty land and sea officers set
lied in that place ? General Lamarque, now with
the Army of Naples, will inform you whether I
was deficient in point of courage, or the author
of that false report which you n ention. Your
apies are known ; there were two of th*-m with
the army of Brest. They often sugg^ted tome
the measures of sending my Memorials to the
Minister of General|Police ; hut I corresponded
with you for the benefit of my troops and the
good of the service, as the Prussian Generals did
with Frederick the Great.
As you have rtude mention of this memorial,
you should have mentioned others, and particu
larly my dissertation of the 11th Fnmaire, which
is an analysis of all the good you have ever done —
I therein speak warmly against the English go
vernment 5 but in your opinion I express myself
too favorably rff the nation which I style brave and
virtuous } and particularly when I speak of the
English cottstitut'10.1 of government, and call it
immortal and wise. You have made no mention
of it, because you know all that is stid ag.insl
a government is but a form of expression, ahowa
blc in time of war : whilst the prfcise of a people
who are enemies esn only proceed from the sen
timent of the heart.
I never had any dispute with General Heude
let You were displeased at my writing to the
King of Prussia on the 23d of June, iiLO, three
months before tht battle of Jena. This Monarch,
10 whom 1 transmitted my Dissertation of the
LUIt Frimairt, condescended to send me an an
swer, dated the 3d of July following, in liis own
hand. You were jealous of my connection* with
Prince Lewis of Wirtemberg, general in the ltus
sian service, and uncle of the Emperor Alex in -
der. I resided with this Prince for three months
at the Castle of Wcilburg, belonging to the
Prince of Nassau, his brother in law. 1 comm <n
ded the second division of Augereau’s corps._
In Germany as well as Brest, 1 made you acquain
ted with the thieves St marauders, who*e actions
were beyond my control, and equally dcrogato y
to the goodot mv troops, and the justice due to
the inhabitants of such countries as were under
my command.
In October, 1306, I was employed in the 24'h
division, under General Cbambarthac ; I com
manded in the department of the Scheldt ut
Ghent j the Prefect was a robber, and you de
prived him ot his office; •
In June 1807, you employed me with the army I
of Antwerp, commanded by General Ferino.—
I had under me the young prince of Hohensol
lcm-Sigmsringen, with his regiment.
In the month of Augu3t of the s une yeir, you
employed me in die sixteenth military division,
commanded by General Merlot, and afterwards
by General Vandamme ; it was hut just in roe
to oppose the iniquity of the Prefect, Mr. Cliau
vehn, formerly ambassador to the Court of St.
James’s, who caused double the number oF con.
scripts to be levied which the department was
bound to furnish. You removed me, and you cod*
tinued that officer at Bruges, in She department
of Lys, contrary to the advice of General Van
damme, who was thecominamlant of the Will dr
vision. General Chamberlhac never commanded
the l«ith division. The public - can only excuse
tha falsities, mistakes, and absurdities, of your
narrative, by imputing them to the flurry wb’ch
the aceid* nt of the first of July, atths hotel of
the 'Austrian ambassador, must necessarily have
thrown you into ; and wiiat the more confirms
me in this opinion, is, that this narrative is dated
on the 2d of July. <•- ,, -• • >
Stationed on the island of Cadsand, I then be
gan to detest you.’ All I did was out of regard
for the troops. I established an hospital in an
empty house; complaint was made of this circum
stance, and on the foundation of this complaint,
you sent me to the camp at Boulogne, where I
remained fifteeh month*.' You had.your private
reasons, which will be known some time hence.
I saw them in your eves when you reviewed at
Boulogne, on the 25th of May. Fouclie would
not put me under an arrest, because you only went
upon suspicion. You ordered him to vialh a/>***
Rome, and you appointed as his successor qpe’S-..
vary, a man as ready to execute all'yotrf orders,
as he was to strangle Piehegru 1 If I had staid
only four and twenty hours longer in Boulogne, 1
you must own that 1 should have Seen consign !
ed to a dungeon at Vincennes, or to the ditches of
that castle, as was the truly unfortunate Duke D’
Enghien ! ! !
1 have constantly lived in the greatest harmo
ny with general officers and public administrators,
that were craditable.
I have had commilnd, or have been known to
all the regiments that form the French army, all
of which esteem and value me- 1 have le
vied no contributions but in the country about
Naples, by order of General Macdonald, tor the
supply of the military chest
I am well acquainted with Germany, Italy, and
France ; all t lie places of strength and nearly the
whole coast from the Scheldt to Trieste
The entire substance of this narrative is sup
ported by eighty four offiual documents, vvlticb
are deposited in the hands of the Secretary of State
for the Foreign Department, in London 1 shall
now produce only fifteen, of different dales ; the
remaining documents, under the hands of Ho
chainbeau, Berthier, Macdonald, Bernadottc,
Murat, and others, will be printed with my ob
servations ; wherein, 1 beg h ave to assure you,
you will find some very striking details, the re
membrance of which and with some reason, you
have nearly lost
When I quitted France, I acted consistcntly
with my obligation to honor ; when you qualified
this use of the rights of man with the odious term
of cowardly desertion, you judged of my conduct
according to your own, when you left Egypt!
1 Rave you my oath of fi ielity s y m swore to
make justice the principle of j our government ;
you were the first to violate your oath, and you
have released me from all engagements with res
pect to yourself.
. O'* the first favorable opportunity, and the lime
is not distant, the whole army, and all Fiance,
will shew you that a tyrant curnot become cj
through perjury, without meeting his merited pu
nishment
I snail end with using the same address to you
as the Tribune Flavius used to the Emperor
Nero : Nee tibi qu'squ.itu militum Ji.lelior fuit,
quamdit* timari ineruisti ; ouissc cepi quanilo in'
Justus erga commilitones, tyrannus Galiiae,in
