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

Bonsoir Barry,

Doesn't the "11 Brumaire An VIII" correspond to the 2nd November 1799 ?

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,

barry
