NAPOLÉON BONAPARTE (1769-1821)
Lettre avec signature autographe ("Np"), "au ministre de la justice", Jean-Jacques-Régis de Cambacérès. Paris, le 18 avril 1815.
2 pages in-8 (227 x 185 mm), à l'encre noire. Pliures médianes dues à l'envoi d'origine.

Intéressante lettre signée de Napoléon à Cambacérès durant les Cent-Jours, où l'empereur demande à son ministre ses préconisations en matière de peines à infliger aux transfuges.
Parmi les noms d'agents de l'Etat s'étant ralliés au panache blanc du "comte de Lille", c'est-à-dire de Louis XVIII, Napoléon cite ainsi celui de Claude-Victor Berrin, duc de Bellune, maréchal de France à la brillante carrière (1764-1841), du préfet Pierre-Georges de Scey Montbéliard (1771-1847) qui, dès 1813, avait "noué des intrigues avec les royalistes" (Tulard), ou encore des généraux Etienne Tardif de Pommeroux, comte de Bordessoulle (1771-1837) et Nicolas-Joseph Maison (1771-1840).

Jean Tulard, Dictionnaire Napoléon, I, pp. 283, 401-402 ; II, pp. 248, 737, 937 ; Correspondance, n° 21820.

An interesting letter signed by Napoléon, sent to Cambacérès during the Hundred Days period. The Emperor is mentioning the names of several defectors who joined Louis XVIII, and asks his Minister what punishment is going to be applied to them.
