‘A courier has been intercepted charged with dispatches; among them is a letter from Napoleon to the Senate’ [NAPOLEONIC WARS]: DISBROWE EDWARD CROMWELL (1790-1851) British politician and diplomat attached to Sir Charles Stuart during the Peninsular War. A.L.S., with his initials ECD, four pages, folio, Prague, 20th - 23rd September 1813, to Sir Charles Stuart. The informative letter is Disbrowe's retained draft copy of a letter containing intelligence reports and states, in part, 'Bonaparte at the recommencement of hostilities conceived the army of Blucher to be the main army & accordingly advanced in person with a strong force into Lusatia & pushed that General who had boldly advanced in order to deceive him, as far back as the Katzbach. Had Schwartzenberg (sic) profited by that error & stormed Dresden with about 60,000 men whom he could have immediately collected it is probable that that city would have fallen. Time however was lost…..in order to make a coup de main with 200,000 men. B[onapart]e returned & we failed, the loss of the allies in the disgraceful retreat amounted to from 30 to 40,000 men……another cause of failure was that Barclay de Tolly refused to obey Schwartzenberg……After two disastrous attempts on Teplitz Bona[part]e in person directed a third attack on the 17th & was soon completely foiled. The Young Guard is almost completely destroyed…..It is not supposed that he has any real intention of penetrating into Bohemia but of occupying the attention of this army while he attacks Blucher or the Prince Royal though the other idea that it his intention at length to retire…..is rendered more probable by the circumstances of his withdrawing his ammunition…..The defeat of Ney by the Prince Royal is of the last importance……Of Blucher's successes you are undoubtedly informed…..the General's son, Colonel Blucher is wounded & taken prisoner. Vandamme was flogged by a Cossack for insolence to the Emperor…..& has been insulted & spit upon wherever he has made his appearance…..Vandamme is sent to Siberia by desire of the Gd. Duke Constantine…..A courier has been intercepted charged with dispatches; among them is a letter from Napoleon to the Senate in wh. he says that the Russians have advanced in such force that unless he is immediately reinforced that he must fall back to the Rhine & that the French nation must rise in mass to support him. Another document of importance is also intercepted, an answer to the declaration of war by Austria interlined by Bonaparte's own hand…..Bonaparte has denounced Vandamme as a coward, has erased his name from the List of the French Army & confiscated his possessions. His temper seems to know no bounds……..Bavaria is believed to have joined the alliance ag[ains]t France, the confirmation is momentarily expected. The Grand Army is again advancing. We must have a little patience, everything looks very promising. No battle ought to be given unless the whole of the French line can be attacked at once by the Gd. Army & those of the Prince Royal & of Blucher…..if it can be postponed until Bonaparte commences a retreat which he cannot much longer delay it is more likely to be crowned with complete success….' In a postscript Disbrowe further remarks 'I should think that Stettin cannot hold out much longer as it was nearly starved before the Armistice was signed & as the Govr. broke the Armistice he has not been supplied with the provisions stipulated for in the treaty'. A letter of interesting content, rich in its references to various individuals and places associated with the Napoleonic Wars, not least Napoleon Bonaparte himself. Some very light, minor age wear and a few stains, VGCharles Stuart (1779-1845) 1st Baron Stuart de Rothesay. British diplomat who served as Ambassador to France 1815-24, 1828-30 and as Ambassador to Russia 1841-44.Napoleon Bonaparte (1769-1821) French military commander and political leader who served as Emperor of the French 1804-14, 1815.Gebhard Lebrecht von Blucher (1742-1819) Prussian Field Marshal who led his army against Napoleon I at the Battle of the Nations at Leipzig in 1813 and the Battle of Waterloo in 1815.

‘Letters….from Soult have been intercepted from which it appears that the officer is most extremely apprehensive of an immediate attack from Lord Wellington’ [NAPOLEONIC WARS]: DISBROWE EDWARD CROMWELL (1790-1851) British politician and diplomat attached to Sir Charles Stuart during the Peninsular War. A.L.S., with his initials ECD, three pages, folio, Frankfurt, 9th November 1813, to Sir Charles Stuart. The informative letter is Disbrowe's retained draft copy of a letter containing intelligence reports and states, in part, 'The Head Quarters have remained here since last Friday. The reserve of the army is concentrated in this neighbourhood. Count Walmoden (sic) was still in the vicinity of Domitz on the 2nd watching Marshal Davoust who it is reported has since retired into Holland. The Crown Prince of Sweden is marching on Hanover but he has detached Bulow……Marshal Blucher was at Limbourg yesterday & is advancing in the direction of Cologne. Marshal Schwartzenberg (sic) left this place today in order to drive the French out of Hochheim where their only Corps on this side of the Rhine is stationed. It is probable that Bonaparte did not cross that river with more than 50,000 men & according to some accounts his force did not exceed 35,000……Genl. Wade took about 7,000 prisoners…….the brunt of the affair fell on Bonaparte's old Guard which has suffered most considerably & they were certainly the finest Corps he had. He remained a day & an half here during the whole time the Armies were fighting across the river for the possession of the bridge……By intercepted letters it appears that nearly 150,000 conscripts out of the 280,000…..(are)….at the Central Depot. So that something must be done on this side immediately, but unfortunately we have so many Commanders-in-Chief that in proportion as the manoeuvres become complicated & require decision we shall probably vacillate, for besides 2 Emperors & a King we may reckon Marshals Schwartzenberg & Blucher, the Crown Prince of Sweden, Genls. Barclay de Tolly & Benningsen (sic) among that number. Letters….from Soult have been intercepted from which it appears that the officer is most extremely apprehensive of an immediate attack from Lord Wellington & he ends by saying that the longer it is delayed the less apprehensive he shall be of the result. Letters from those quarters make great complaints of the exactions & contributions Soult has levied in France. A report from Bon. Thuyunot (sic; Baron Thouvenot) Comte of Bayonne mentions “that those inhabitants who had fled in consequence of the advance of the English have returned to their habitations relying on a promise of good treatment which he adds that they certainly have met with a circumstance likely to prove very favourable to the English in case they invade France & recommends the adoption of some measures to compel the inhabitants to fly”. The communication with Ld. Wellington by spies which you hinted at in a letter to me…….has been adopted, with what success I do not know'. In a postscript Disbrowe further writes, in part, 'Witgenstein (sic) continues to watch…..Benningsen who has been joined by the Garrison of Theresienstadt (i.e. Terezin) & has undertaken the siege of Dresden….Stettin & Wittenberg will probably very soon fall…..' and also makes reference to Lord Aberdeen and others who are presently in Frankfurt.

BERTHIER LOUIS ALEXANDRE: (1753-1815), Marshal of France, Prince of Neuchatel. Chief of Staff under Napoleon. A good L.S., `Alexandre´, one page, 4to, Dresden, 19th July 1813, to his aide-de-camp General Bailly de Monthion, in French. Berthier explains his orders regarding the Austrian deserters, and states `Je vous préviens, Monsieur le Général Monthion, que M. l´adjudant commandant Dentzel, est autorisé, d´après la demande qu´il m´en a faite, à former à Erfurt un dépôt general des deserteurs autrichiens qui viennent d´arriver à Dresde.
