Bonaparte wished to have a child by Madame Foures, but this wish was not realised. A celebrated soothsayer was recommended to Bonaparte by the inhabitants of Cairo, who confidentially vouched for the accuracy with which he could foretell future events. He was sent for, and when he arrived, I, Venture, and a sheik were with the General.
This connection soon became the general subject of gossip at head- quarters. Through a feeling of delicacy to M. Foures, the General-in- Chief gave him a mission to the Directory. He embarked at Alexandria, and the ship was captured by the English, who, being informed of the cause of his mission, were malicious enough to send him back to Egypt, instead of keeping him prisoner.

Perhaps too weak to part with an adored, beautiful wife, he simply ordered her to return with him to France. But Madame Foures made resistance.
Meanwhile Fate rendered fruitless all the efforts of the beautiful Madame Foures to draw Bonaparte into a separation; Fate came to Josephine's rescue, and, strange to say, it came in the shape of the Frankfort Journal.
This was a young and beautiful woman, Madame Foures, the beloved of the ardent general.

Madame Foures had an immense advantage over Josephine; she was barely twenty years old, was bewitchingly beautiful, was a coquette, and she was there in Bonaparte's immediate presence, while the Mediterranean separated him from Josephine. Bonaparte abandoned himself to this new love with all his passionate nature.
Not only did the whole army in Egypt know this, but his foes also became acquainted with it; and Sir Sidney Smith made use of this fact to attack his enemy in a way little known to the annals of warfare. Bonaparte had removed from the Egyptian army Madame Foures' injured husband, who held there the rank of a cavalry officer, by sending him with a message to the Directory.
