Description
BONAPARTE (NAPOLEON). Apostille signed "Bonaparte" (Paris, 28 Vendémiaire an X-20 October 1801, 5 lines dictated to his secretary Louis-Antoine Fauvelet de Bourrienne) on a letter addressed to him by Aloph de La Garde de Chambonas (1801, one p. 3/4 in-folio; wax stain). Aloph de La Garde de Chambonas introduces a supplication to obtain his removal from the list of emigrants: he argues that he was placed there in 1793 when he was a child, that he attended a public school in Paris, and that he had just taken the step with his teacher to ask for the removal of his father from the list. Napoleon Bonaparte dictated: "Referred to the Minister of the General Police [Joseph Fouché] for a report...". The author of the petition was the son of General Scipion-Charles-Victor-Auguste de La Garde, Marquis de Chambonas, Louis XVI's short-lived Minister of Foreign Affairs in 1792, who emigrated to England (where he ruined himself gambling), but who would not return until 1814.
