Hello,

I noticed this while going through an old thread posted by the Chairman(Nick).

I found this while searching around. Unfortunately it's not a list. It seems Napoleon willed his orders to his son.

Bonsoir Jerome,

I thought at first it was Antoine-Francois Andreossy but realized that it was Victor-Antoine Andreossy.

Victor-Antoine General de Brigade 1799

Antione-Francois General de brigade 1797

Good catch on the Coup. First Julius then Octavian now Napoleon. Maybe on this day Napoleon was having his crown sized for his head.

In 1802 Bonaparte got three million votes which elected him Consul for life and just eight thousand against.

Thanks Peter,

I imagine a ship captain would want all the speed he could get in order to avoid a British warship.

thanks again,

I announce you, Citizen, that, based on the report I have presented them, the executive Director has authorized me through its order dated Vendemiaire 27th, to send their Commission documents to all the officers who have been promored to superior ranks by the Generals in Chief. As a consequence, your nomination to the rank of General de brigade, made on Theridor 7th Year 7 by General Masenna, is confirmed.

Until I have your brevet sent to you, you'll bear the distinctive marks of your new rank, and you will take advantage of the appropriate remuneration.

Salut et Fraternite,

Dubois-Crance

I saw a show a few years back about this subject hosted by James Woods. I've been trying to locate the name of the show but haven't had any luck. I believe it was on the Discovery Channel. It showed them working in the graves and all the medical tests that went with it.

Hello Rick,

I was wondering if Daniel Dunham might be a relative because I'm looking to find some info on him. I have his American Revolution military appointment as a 2nd Lt. dated 1778 and signed by Conn. Gov. Jonathan Trumbull. The only info I have so far is that he served three days as a minuteman in the Lextington Alarm.

thanks,

We have been anounced 12,000 troopers for our colonies, 6,000 for the Iles du Vent and 6,000 for this one with those already in garrison. It is to be feared that they _ _ _ _, they should have arrived or be leaving, none has happened yet, all those preparations make me consider war looming, and fear not to go back to France. One will thus have to make do. the news I'm giving you from North America, Messieurs, are considered here very true and everyone believes them and I am among that number. If my letter is too long and does not interest you, you will have the grace of blaming yourself, having engaged me through your letters to inform you of all the interesting things that would happen concerning this country. I thank you a thousand times, Messieurs, for the feelings of friendship that you shaw me. I beg you to keep them on. I have the honor of being sincerely all yours. Messieurs Your very humble and devoted servant.

The Generals

Their army under General Howe does not enjoy happy days, news from Baltimore near Philadelphia on the 1st of this month announced that if Genral Howe does not succeed in breaking through 'Chevaux de Frise' that the loss of his army will follow, finding himself enveloped in Philadelphia by considerable lines that General Washington has formed cutting him by these means all communication for rations by sea, as well as by land, we count on these news, they are confirmed by several ships that arrived, we consider here the Royalist army utterly destroyed and believe that we are _ _ _ _, one _ _ _ _ of the northern part that the Americans I think are in condition to undertake with success the conquest of Canada at the opening of the next campaign, maybe they are _ _ _ _ in vain. On the 27th of October, two days after the embargo was set on our ships, the harbor was forbidden to the Americans, the government was then to go tothe Mole St. Nicolas, fortunately they have thought better of it since then, they are received anew since the 19th inst. They are bringing much tobacco, rice, indigo, flours, wood, and they keep drawing canvas, common ones, big fabrics of wool, wines..... and they have been forbidden to charge any war powder and other ammunition.
