A certain Charles de la Tour had been commissioned by the Governor-General of Acadia or Nova Scotia as lieutenant of the region east of the St. Croix, and another, Charles de Menou, Sieur d'Aulnay-Charnisé, as lieutenant of the region between the St. Croix and the Penobscot.
A great battle was fought at Cairo, which was won by the British, and the capital itself now fell into their hands.

The next morning we set off for New Orleans Ménou and Louise, Julie, who was to act as bridesmaid, and myself. Madame Ménou remained at home. I could have wished to have had young Ménou as my bridesman; but his presence was necessary at the plantation, and we were obliged to content ourselves with receiving his good wishes as we passed.
Assisted by General Lanusse, he again joined battle, 13th March, on the road to Ramanieh; while General Menou "Abdallah Menou," as his soldiers called him after he became a Mussulman was on march with all his troops to assist Alexandria.
