23/09/1809. <blockquote><p>A rare full signed order by Bonaparte</p></blockquote><p>In 1809 a formation known as the Reserve Corps of the Army of Germany was assembled. This later became a new VIII Corps that served in Spain in 1810. The Reserve Corps was under the command of Marshal François Christophe de Kellermann. Its three divisions were led by Generals Olivier Rivaud de la Raffinière Eloi Laurent Despeaux and Joseph Lagrange.</p><p>The siege of Astorga was an attempt by French forces to capture that town as part of a campaign of the Peninsular War. Astorga was located on the flank of the French invasion path to Spain and Portugal and was meant to be used as a headquarters during the campaign. The French overpowered the Spanish garrison inside and took the city on April 20 1810 with a loss of 160 men. It took however the arrival of ammunition and weapons for the attack to begin.</p><p>The 8th corps was ordered to march to Spain and its first units reached Burgos.</p><p><strong>Order signed</strong> Schonbrunn September 23 1809.</p><p><em>""His Majesty Orders:</em></p><p><em>1 The 22nd regiment of line infantry and the 65th of the line which are part of the 8th corps of the army will each have their 8 stores of ammunition for infantry and 8 for their military transports. The quartermaster general will take the necessary measures to ensure that those regiments that do not have proper munitions and have not exhausted the funds allowed to each regiment for this object that he will contact them without delay and procure the munitions necessary. The quartermaster general of the artillery will take responsibility for those measures that relate to the artillery.</em></p><p><em>2 The 8 4th battalions that form the Rivaud division will each have their own infantry and military transport munitions supplies. The necessary funds for the creation of these will be placed at the disposition of the authorized officer of the 8th corps to be made at Nuremberg Bareuth or Wurtsbourg. The horses will be furnished by the administration as we order below.</em></p><p><em>3 The artillery of the 8th corps will be composed of 4 pieces of 12; 16 pieces of 6; 6 pieces of 3 and 6 howitzers having a double approvisionnement harness. The Saxon artillery of General St. Cyr's division will have its cannon piece including 4 of 12 which forms for the 8th Corps 60 pieces of cannon independently of the regimental pieces.</em></p><p><em>4 The engineers will have after the 8th corps at least 1500 tools which will be carried on harnessed carriages as well as the ropes and tools necessary for the prompt repair of a bridge.</em></p><p><em>5 Three hundred horses shall be raised in the land of Bareuth a hundred in the land of Erfurth and a hundred in the land of Hanau in all five hundred which will be distributed in the 8th corps as follows namely: for the artillery 300 for the transports of the 8 battalions of the Rivaud 50 division for the transports of the engineers 50 for the three provisional regiments of dragoons 100. The price of these horses will be set from the inhabitants according to the tariff which will be regulated by the general steward.</em></p><p><em>6 An advance of two thousand francs will be made to each of the squadrons which form part of the six provisional regiments of dragoons. These 2000 francs will be taken from the regiment's casks by the Minister of War Administration. The distribution between the different mannes will be made by General Fouler for the 1st 5th and 4th. One and the other of these generals will assure the Minister of War Administration of the distribution they have made between the mannes. The squadron leaders and captains commanding the squadrons of the six provisional regiments will immediately use this fund to prepare their squadron.""</em></p><p>Complete orders of Napoleon are very uncommon.</p> unknown
09/05/1810. <blockquote><p>""I approve the slate of officers you propose to use for the Army of Italy. I think you should add General Bissonin. Regarding General Menou the Vice Roy must first present to me an officer for Governor of Venice. Send General Pacthod to the Army of Naples where he can serve.""</p></blockquote><p>In May 1810 Napoleon was at the high-water mark of his empire strengthening and intensifying his Continental System against Britain. Napoleon focused then on restricting British commerce and enhancing his alliance with Austria. His mind was also much on the Netherlands. On May 13 1810 it was announced that the Netherlands were formally annexed to France further consolidating Napoleon’s control over Europe. Bergen op Zoom a fortified city in the Netherlands was a key stronghold for French forces during Napoleon’s empire.</p><p>By 1810 Napoleon controlled most of the Italian peninsula acting as King of Italy crowned 1805 with his stepson Eugène de Beauharnais as viceroy. The region was restructured into the Kingdom of Italy in the north and the Kingdom of Naples in the south introducing modern law abolishing feudal rights and improving infrastructure while by 1810 the Italian army achieved parity with French units.</p><p>The War of the Fifth Coalition was Austria’s final attempt to challenge Napoleon Bonaparte after earlier defeats but it ended decisively with French victories at Battle of Wagram and the Treaty of Schönbrunn which stripped Austria of further territory and influence in northern Italy and the Adriatic. In the aftermath Napoleon moved to tighten and rationalize his control over the region reinforcing the authority of his Italian client state under Eugène de Beauharnais and integrating Venice more fully into a centralized military-administrative system. Though already under French rule Venice’s strategic importance—as a fortified lagoon city naval arsenal and forward position facing Austria—meant that after 1809 it became a focus of consolidation rather than conquest with garrisons reviewed command structures regularized and trusted officers installed to ensure the city’s security and readiness in anticipation of future conflict.</p><p>Napoleon was at Bergen op Zoom in May 1810. The Duc de Feltre was an officer diplomat and statesman who served as Minister of War under Napoleon.</p><p><strong>Letter signed</strong> Bergen-op-Zoom May 9 1810 to the Duc de Feltre assigning officers to the army and government of Italy. <em>""I approve the slate of officers you propose to use for the Army of Italy. I think you should add General Bisson. Regarding General Menou the Vice Roy must first present to me an officer for Governor of Venice. Send General Pacthod to the Army of Naples where he can serve.""</em></p><p>In 1810 General Baptiste-Pierre-François Bisson was given a command at Verona where he remained until his death in 1811. General Jacques-François de Menou served as the administrator and Governor of Venice in the Kingdom of Italy. After a notable career including commanding the Egyptian campaign he died on August 13 1810. In 1810 General Michel-Marie Pacthod was rewarded as a Knight of the Iron Crown and then given a division in the Army of Naples.</p><p>Here we see Napoleon exercising control over his occupied territories.</p><p><img class=""alignnone wp-image-25018 size-post-window"" src=""https://cdn.raabcollection.com/wp-content/uploads/20231204144051/Folder-site-11-1600x1327.jpg"" alt=""historical memorabilia dealer"" width=""1600"" height=""1327"" /></p> unknown

<p><strong><em>The first printed edition of the terms of Malta's capitulation to Napoleon: printed in Malta!</em></strong></p><p>Napoléon Bonaparte 1769-1821; Knights Hospitaller; Felip d'Amat i de Cortada 1754-1828.</p><p><strong>Convention arretée entre la République Française representée par le citoyen général en chef Bonaparte d'une part. Et l'Ordre des Chevaliers de Saint Jean de Jerusalem ….</strong></p><p>Malta Imprimerie Nationale after June 12 1798.</p><p>Folio. 4 pp. Paper watermarked "C / BA". Signed by hand in ink at the end: "A monsieur / Boré / je suis".</p><p>An extremely rare copy of the terms and conditions for the capture of Malta by Napoleon dated June 12 1798. This document was printed in Malta and is possibly the first item produced under the French regime. Although it lacks an imprint the National Library of Malta has confirmed its origin. We have found no copies of this treaty in any digital catalogues including those of France WorldCat KvK or other major repositories.</p><p>Following the capture of Italy Napoleon maintained strict secrecy regarding the destination of his next campaign. While it was known that he had assembled the largest expeditionary fleet ever seen in the Mediterranean its destination remained unclear. In a surprising move the fleet arrived at Malta on June 6th and within a matter of days the island was captured. The capitulation as outlined in this treaty was negotiated between Malta represented by the Knights Hospitaller the French Republic represented by Citizen General-in-Chief Bonaparte and the Spanish Crown as mediator. To control the flow of information the French immediately seized the only printing press on the island and relocated it to the former Chancellory of the Order. The press originally known as Stamperija di Sua Altezza Serenissima was renamed Imprimerie Nationale. During the French occupation Giovanni Mallia who had been working at the press since 1763 continued to manage the printing office and remained in his position until the end of French rule in Malta in 1800.</p><p>Among the press's notable outputs was the publication of Malta's first newspaper Journal de Malte printed in two columns: one in French and the other in Italian. Only ten issues of this newspaper were ever published. A comparison of the typographic features of the Journal de Malte and this treaty reveals striking similarities particularly in the initial "L" used in the treaty which matches that in the title of the Journal de Malte. We have scans of the Journal available upon request. This combined with the treaty's extreme rarity and its absence from the French Collective Catalogue strongly suggests that it was printed in Malta rather than in France. The National Library of Malta through correspondence and the expertise of Prof. William Zammit has confirmed our suspicions. Prof. Zammit is currently developing a comprehensive retrospective bibliography of all works printed in Malta between 1642 and 1800. The treaty appears to have been printed in France for the first time in 1801 in Pièces diverses et correspondance relatives aux opérations de l'armée d'Orient en Égypte; imprimées en exécution de l'arrêté du Tribunat en date du 7 nivôse an IX de la République française Paris Baudouin Messidor an IX = June 1801.</p><p><strong>Condition:</strong> creased and frayed at the margins old fold with marginal tear. Otherwise in good condition.</p> Imprimerie Nationale
