mired, sod that yea made your first campaign in
Italy.

Bernadotte's division left Coblentz in December.
1796, and joined your army in March, 1797. Ap.
pointed Colonel of the 14th Regiment of Deagoons,
I made the campaign of Vienna in that capacity.
Being recalled by General Bernadotte to my for-
mer situation at the head of his staff, after the pre-
linsiiiiiries of Leuhen, you charged me with the
commitsion of paying the honours due to the Cou•!t
of Cotrentzel, the Martinis de Gallo, the Coma
de Merfeld, and the General Clarke, alt Plenipo-
tentiaries of the treaty of Campo Formio.
You expressed yourself well pleased with the
manuscript copy of " loirtructions for Troops dur-
ing a Campaign," which I had seat you at PaStli•
riano, in July 1797.

It being intended that I should make one tb ac-
company the embassy to Vienna, and being come
to Pints to proceed on my diplomatic mission, you
gave me a good reception, and proposed to me to
accompany you to Egypt ; but, on my refusal to
leave Bernadotte, you insinuated to the Directory,
that a Republic ought to have no gexilernen follow-
ing their Ambassadors; and I was sent off to the
Army of England, cousmandird by General De►aiz.
Being returued to France, after having been
taken prisoner in Ireland, I was employed with
the Army of Italy. General Joubert sent me
with eight battalions to the Army of Rome, com-
manded by Gen. Championnet, and afterwards by
Gen. Macdonald. After the retreat of Naples, this
army joined that of Italy at Genoa, then commanded
by General Moreau. Government sent me out
letters of service for the A►my of Switzerland, coin-
mended by General Massena.

At Paris, on my way, General Bernadotte, then
a Miniater, gave me the office of the Marches of
Troops in the War Department, and afterwards
that or the Appointments. You were still in Egypt.
It was at that time intended to overthrow the Di-
rectory, and appoint three Consuls: Jourdan, Auge-
resit, and Bernadotte, were the Generals named : I
was to have been appointed the War Minister. Act-
ing upon the information I received from Berna-
dotte, and thinking that my obligations to hint re-
quired of me to extricate him from so dangerous a
step, I acquainted him with all that was doing by
the Directors Sieges and Barrel, who set the ma-
chines of the Jacobins to work.

In order to requite my zeal, the Directory ap-
pointed me Ambasradur to Holland; but I refused
to accept of this embassy, being attached to the
army by taste and inclination.

On your return from Egypt, you received me
with transports of joy. You advised nie not to
give in my resignation, and you told me you would
in a litle time appoint me General of a division. I
was your fellow luboure• on the lath Bruutuire
(November) 1799. Bernadotte, who had refused
you his assistance, and who was near running you
through the body when jou first proposed your de-
signs to him, had retired to my estate in the coun-
try, near Paris. You employed me to visit him,
to pacify him, and to bring Mtn back to I.ia true
interests. You may remember that it was at this
very tiinethat I presented you, and Madame 13011 a•
parte, as well as nearly the whole of your family,
with some very valuable cameo, ; which were ac-
cepted of, and gave great satisfaction. My delicacy
would never have permitted me to have declared this
circumstance, if you had not forced me, by your
infintons narrative, to the necessity of *hewing the
footing of intimacy I was once upon *id; you.
Its December 1799, bring with the army of the
Rhine, commanded try General Moreau, I had the
command of General Ney's division, he bring ab-
sent un tram

General Bernadotte having the command of the
Army of the Cua•to, yon gave roe orders, in April

1900, to repair to that General, who intrusted me
with the cumin:anti of the C.lllll, of St. Bruen, near
Brest : I had with the troops under mJ tomniaud,

two thousand Spaniards, landed from the tieTt un-
der the cominand of Aitumid Grarimi, which lay in
thereof! of Brest.
In August, !Son, General Murat had the cow-

trio I of 10.000 grenadiers. part of the camp of
Amiens. You ordered me to 4to there to disci-
pline them, a duty which the General was incnpable
of performing. In Octuber, there win. a 'Jot to bet
the Opera House on fire, and to assas-iiiiite you in
the midst •f the confusion. In thirty hours, 1
marched thirty leagues with then greondiers. You
were as much astonished as you were pleased with
this form' march : Murat was with you at Paris at
this time.

You reviewed these troops near Versailles ; yon
overwhelmed toe with compliments upon the occa-
sion, ■nd you had not less than sixty general
officers aid' you at the time. It is certain) that the
grenadiers br Intigink to the marine, who had been
only twenty days on shore, exercised as well' as if
they had helm veterans.

Durnt; our stay at Versailles. 1 often went Ind
mounted guar.' at Malmaison. You vatting have
forgot the circumstance of a ladder hating Iweo di.-
covered, fixed up against one of the windows of
pint. apartments. The diseotrry is noted in my
tobNerio•tion,.

march ovct the Alps in tilt midst of *Net, s for it
happened iii Pecember, 1800. They *ere exer-
cised in presence of General Murat, in the great
square of Milan. I frankly replied to the compli-
ments paid me on the occasion, that thi appearance
of these men was the result of six months of labour
and fatigue. Murat, animated by the meanest
kind of jealousy, observed, with a show of great
spite, that Ae womb( furnish me with labour and
fatigate for six other months. Accordingly he took
the grenadiers from me, and gave me two regiments
of new-raised men. I remonstrated against this ar-
bitrary proceeding, but to no purpose; I spoke to
him with the freedom of au old fellow collegian, in
the presenceof his two Aides-de-Camp, the Colonels
Lagrange and Beaumont. He turned a deaf ear to
my complaiuts ; which usage has been since re-
turned to him iii Egypt by the General Lamle!, 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 general Berthier acquainted me that I might
soon expect fresh orders.

Yon broke me ; and in so doing you iTid well ; it
was my duty to obey, to make my representations

to you, and wait your determination. This error,
the only one you can 6y to my charge, as coin.
witted during the whole course of ray military ea.
reer, was occasioned by the persuasion you had
wrought in me, that you Rave me the preference to
Murat, allowance being made for relationship.
I have never solicited to resign ; I have denounced
no one person ; my conduct has been generous and
open,and by no means ins dittos and doubtful. You
have endeavoured to excuse the dastardly and un-
generons behaviour 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 de-
nounced. Falsehood is a certain characteristic of
degradation—you will find by my observations that
this is not your first attempt.

I passed the time I wee unemployed with the
army, which continued for sixteen mouths, in the
perusal, of my military books. I furnished many
articles to the editor of the " Young (fryer's
Guide;" I signed the act of continuati is for life of
your Consulship; 1 asked permission to go into the
Dutch service ; you consented to it ; but when I.
waited upon the Ambassador, Schimmelpenninck,
at Paris, I discovered from his enaha•rassment that
you had given him orders to make me this answer,
that tit would write to his goreralueat, but that
it would take a cuirideratife time." General Ber-
nadotte cao relate to you a very delicate srene con-
cer.iing you, which took place betwixt him and me
respecting this licence; you will, moreover, find it
iu my observions.

When I art off to join the Army of St. Domingo,
General Berthier assured me that I should find my
commissiow as General of Division with it. Crenc.al
Itochambeam of whom I inquired concerning it,
laughed very much at my credulity.
I signed your appointment S 3 Emperor; I was
one of the Generals present when Murat made his
Proclamation speech to you at the Thuilleries ; I
recollect well all that the Generals Masser's, Au-
geresu, Macdonald, Bernadotte, &c. said to you, as
well as your answers. You will fiud them very
exactly rilaied irs my observations.

I never solicited to serve with Augerenu ; I bad
very good reasons for despising that man, who dis-
graces the general's uniform, and whose stupidity
and greediness fur plunder constitute him • true
leader of banditti. Do you recollect that General
Bernadotte asked you to allow me to be at the head
of his staff with the Army of Haulm er, and that
you seplied to him, in my presence : General
Sarrazirs has been in Ireland; I *mild hare him
retains thither r" It is possible that I may return
there; but it shall be to put the brave Irish on their
guard against your perfidious insinuations, and to
advise them to be faithful to their own government,
leg they meet with the same unhappy fate us has
befallen France, which you leave had the cruel ad-
dress of forming into one vast prison!
What yule say concerning my condast with the
Army of Brest is of very little importance. What
probability is there that you would have suffered
me to by with that army, if I had accused furty
Generals, and forty laud and sea officers settled iu
that place? General Larnarepie, now with the Army
of Naples, will inform you whether I was deficient
in point of courage, or the author of that titre re-
port which you mention. Your spies are known;
there were two of them with the urmy of Brest.
They often suggested to me the measure of sending
my Memorials to the Minister of the General
Police; but 1 corresponded with you for the benefit
of my troops and the good of the service, •s the
Prussian Generals did with Frederick the Great.

As you have made mention of this Memorial, you
should hare mentioned others, and particularly my
Dissertation of the 11th Fimmire, which is an ana-
lysis of all the good yam hare ever dune. I therein
speak warmly against the English government ; but
in your opinion I express myself too favourably of
the nation, which I stile !mire and rig tams ; ■nd
particularly when I speak of the English constitution
of government, and call it immortal ad spiv. Yon
have made no mention of it, li;cause you know all
that is said against a government is but a form of
txpression, allowable in Lilac of war; whilst the

praise of a people tan are encritics can o:.ly pre
teed from the sentiment of the Imukt.

I never had any dispute with General Ileudi let.
You were displeased at tny writing to the King of
Prussia on the 2.3 d of June, ►suG, three months
before the battle of Jena. This Monarch, to whom
I transmitted my Dissertation of the eleventh
Frimaire, condescended to send me an answer,
dated the art of July following, in his own hand.
You were jealous of my connections with Prince
Lewis of Wirtemberg, general in the Russian ser-
vice, and uncle of the Emperor Alexander. I re-
sided with this Prince for three months at the Castle
of Weilbourg, belongirig to the Prince of Nassau,
his brother-its-law. I commanded the second divi-
sion of Augerean's corps. In Germany, us well as
at Brest, I made %ou acquainted with the thieves
and marauders, whose actions were beyond my con-
trol, and equally derogatory to the good of my
troops, and the justice due to the inhabitants of
such countries as were under my command.
In October, 1806, I was employed in the 24• h
division, under General Chambarthire; I command-
ed in the department of the Scheldt ut Ghent ; the
Prefect was a robber, and you deprived him of his
office.

Li June, 1807, you emplmed me with the ♦nny
of AOtweip, commanded by General Frritio. I
had under me the young Prince of Hohcozollern•
Sigmaringen, with his regiment.

In the month of August of the same year, yon
employed me in the sixteenth military division,
cominanited loy General Mario, and afterwards 1/
Gnwral Vaiidamme ; it was but just in me to op-
pose the iniquity of the Prefet.t, Mr. Charm-Ito,
formerly Ambassador to the Court i.f St. James's,
who caused double the numher of conscripts to be
levied which the department was bound to furnish.
You removed me, and you continued that officer at
Druges, in the department of Lys, contrary to the
advice of General Vandamme, who was the Com-
msndaut of the 16th Division. Gen.Cliamberthac
never commanded the 16th Division. The public
can only excuse the fasities, mistakes, and absurdi-
•ties of your Narrative, by imputing them to the
flurry which the accidetit of the first of July,
at the hotel of the Austrian Ambassador, must ne-
cessarily have thrown you tut° ; and what the more
confirms me in this opinion, is, that this Narrative
is dated on the of July.

Siationed on the island of t'atisanil, I then be-
gun to detest you. All I did wits out of rsgard fur
the troops. 1 established en hospital in an empty
house: complaint was made of this circumstance,
a:id on the foundation of this complaint, you sent
me to the ramp at Boulogne, where teinained
tern months. You had your private reasons, which
will be known some time hence. I saw them inyour
e} ea when yon reviewed at Boulogne, on the 25th
of May. Fondle would not put rue under an arrest,
because you only went upon suspicion. You order.
ell Itim to walk about Rome, and you appoicted as
his successor one Savory, a man se ready to execute
all your orders, as he was to strangle Pichegru ! If
I had staid only four-ant!..lwenty hours longer in
Boulogne, you must own that I should have been
consigned to a dungeon at Vincennes, or to flie
ditches of that castle, as was the trill/ unfortunate
Duke d'Etighien ! I '•
I have constantly lird in the greatest harmony
with general officer.s and public almiuistrators, that
were creditable. •

have commatitled, or have been known to all
the regiments that form the French army : all of
which esteem and sake me. I have levied no con-
tributions but in the country about Naples, by
order of Genvral Macdonald, for the supply of the
military chest.

I am well acquainted with Germany, Italy, and
France ; all the places of strength, and newly the
whole coast from ft... Scheldt to Trieste.

The entire subatance of this narrative is sup-
ported by eighty-four official documents, which
ate deposited in the bands of the Secretary of State
for the Foreign Department, in London. I shall
now produce only fifteen, of different dates; the
remaining documents, under the hands of Rocham-
bean, Berthier, Macdonald, Bernadotte, Murat,
and others, will be printed with say observations ;
wherein, I beg leave to assure yea, you will find
some very striking details, the remembrance of
which, and with some relson, you have nearly lost.
When I quitted France. I acted consistently
with my obligation to honour ; when you qualified
this use of the rights of man with the odious term
of cowardly desertiuw, you judged of my conduit
according to your own, when you left Egypt!
I gave you my ("oh of fidelity ; you swore to
mske justice the principle of your government ;
you were the first to violate your oath, and you
have released me from all engagements with respect
to yourself.

On the first favourable opportunity, and the time
is not distant, the whole army, and all Frances will
shew you that a tyrant cannot become so through
petiory, celibate meeting his merited punichatene !
shall end with using the rouse address to you
an the Tribune Flavius used to the Emperor Nero :
