Some months later, the new Grand-Duke allied his army to ours to combat the Russians, and requested that they should serve in Marshal Augereau's corps. The prince owed not only his preservation but his elevation to his wife's courage. Although I was still very young, I thought that Napoleon had made a mistake in reducing the number of the little German principalities.
Finding herself cut off by the Austrians; she took shelter with Augereau's army, and then returned to Italy. She took the title of Comtesse de Campignana, and retired to Trieste, near which town, at the Chateau of Sant Andrea, under a wearisome surveillance, she expired in 1820, watched by her husband, Felix Baeciocchi, and her sister Caroline.

The royalists of the interior Bonaparte's intention of marching on Paris with 25,000 men His animosity against the emigrants and the Clichy Club His choice between the two parties of the Directory Augereau's order of the day against the word 'Monsieur' Bonaparte wishes to be made one of the five Directors He supports the majority of the Directory La Vallette, Augereau, and Bernadotte sent to Paris Interesting correspondence relative to the 18th Fructidor.
As the troops of 7th Corps were not concentrated in an encampment, Marshal Augereau's presence in Brest was of very little use; so he was given permission to spend the rest of the summer and the autumn at his fine estate of La Houssaye, near Tournan, in Brie. I even suspect that the Emperor preferred to have him there rather than in the depths of Brittany at the head of a large army.
Bonaparte had already given orders to Sérurier to retire beyond the Po with his artillery train; but this was obviously an attempt to save it from the advancing Austrians; and the commander had ordered the northern part of the French besieging force to join Augereau between Roverbella and Goito. This second statement is creditable neither to Augereau's accuracy nor to his sagacity.
However, any doubts which the Emperor may have had about Augereau's loyalty were without foundation, and arose from the underground plots of a General S.... S.... was a brigadier-general serving in 7th Corps. A capable officer, but over-ambitious. He was regarded as untrustworthy by his fellow generals, who did not associate with him.
On the morning of October 14th, a thick mist covered the countryside, which favoured our movements; Augereau's second division, making a diversionary attack, advanced from Jena via Muhlthal on the road to Weimar.
There is one case in which cavalry has a very decided superiority over infantry, when rain or snow dampens the arms of the latter and they cannot fire. Augereau's corps found this out, to their sorrow, at Eylau, and so did the Austrian left at Dresden. Infantry that has been shaken by a fire of artillery or in any other way may be charged with success.
That is the man whom some have represented as being hard and avaricious. At this moment, I shall say nothing more about the life of Augereau, which will unroll itself in the course of my story, which will show up his faults as well as his fine qualities. Chap. 21. Let us now go back to Bayonne, where I had just joined Augereau's staff.
