The “Circulaire Ricard”

This is a horribly long text that will most likely only be interesting to me, but just in case: This is the main evidence against Soult in the “Roi Nicolas” affair of spring 1809, during his stay in Porto, when he was accused of wanting to make himself king of the country. It’s a circular, sent to all generals under Soult’s command in Portugal, put together by Soult’s chief-of-staff general Ricard - who in the end became the main victim in this affair, as he was recalled from his post and fell in disgrace for two years. It’s quoted in Nicole Gottéri, “Le maréchal Soult et la royauté de Portugal”.

Mon General,

His Excellency, the Marshal Duke of Dalmatia, has asked me to let you know about the dispositions of the great majority of the inhabitants of the province of Minho.

The city of Braga, one of the first to take part in the insurrection, was also the first to speak out in favour of a change of system that would assure the future peace and tranquility of their families and the independence of Portugal. The corregidor whom H.E. had appointed had withdrawn to Oporto when the French troops left, fearing that the numerous emissaries Silveira was sending would stir up further disturbances and threaten his life. The inhabitants then expressed the wish that this worthy magistrate be sent back to them and a deputation of twelve members was sent for this purpose by H. E. Meanwhile, Silveira's emissaries were arrested and imprisoned.

So, to sum up: The French had entered Braga, Soult had appointed somebody and told him »You’re in charge here now«, and this guy then, when the French army moved on to Oporto, ran after them crying “As soon as the first insurgent shows up, people will kill me”? - Great pick, Soult.

Except that the people of Braga apparently had not risen up against the French, and had rather taken captive the insurgents.

In Oporto and Barcelos, the inhabitants have also expressed the same sentiments and all feel the need to have a rallying point for well-meaning citizens, for the defence and salvation of the fatherland and for the preservation of property.

Well, if all the local administrators ran after the French in search of protection before even the first enemy showed up, I can see the need for some central government institution.

On this subject, new deputations have been presented to H.E. to beg her to approve that the people of the province of Minho should express the genuine wish to depose the house of Braganza [whose members had fled to Brazil] from the throne and that at the same time H.M. the emperor and king should be begged to appoint a prince of his own house or choice to reign in Portugal; but that while waiting for the emperor to make known his intentions on this subject, H. E. the duke of Dalmatia would be asked to take the reins of government, to represent the sovereign, and to assume all the functions of supreme authority, the people promising and swearing to be faithful to him, to support him and to defend him at the expense of their lives and fortunes against all opponents and even against insurgents from the other provinces, until the complete submission of the kingdom.

This is, I guess, the most damning part. “Assume all the functions of supreme authority” would later be the expression that Napoleon repeated during his interview with Brun de Villeret in Schönbrunn. How dare Soult? - Yet, and this seems to be true: This was not without precedent. To the contrary. The same thing had happened when Junot had entered Lisbon the year before. As Soult mentioned in a conversation with Saint-Chamans (who, being Saint-Chamans, swallowed the whole Roi-Nicolas accusation hook, line and sinker), it was even the same wording as the declarations that had been made to Junot. When Murat was in Madrid, Napoleon himself had urged him to get a very similar declaration from the locals - that those gave only very reluctantly and with plenty of caveats. Of course, those had been authorized by Napoleon. But, as Soult also mentioned in that conversation with his ADC, there was no way to get in contact with him. Or anyone. Soult’s 20,000 men in Portugal were completely isolated and had not yet managed to get in touch with any of the corps supposedly supporting them.

The marshal accepted these proposals and authorised the corregidors of the counties to have the chambers assembled, to call deputies from all the orders of the corporations and of the people in the countryside to draw up the act which must be done and to affix to it the signatures of all the citizens. He ordered me to inform you of these provisions so that, in the district where you are in command, you promote their execution and that you then propagate the effect of them on all the points of the kingdom where you will be able to send the news.

The Marshal has not dissimulated to himself that an event of such great importance will astonish many people and must produce various impressions, his soul is too pure for him to think that any ambitious project is attributed to him.

Yeah, let’s see how far this will get you, honeybunch.

In all that he does, he sees only the glory of His Majesty's arms, the success of the expedition entrusted to him and the well-being of an interesting nation which, in spite of its errors, is still worthy of our esteem. He feels confident of the army's affection [...]

Let’s see about that, too...

[...] and he burns with the desire to present it to the Emperor glorious and triumphant, having fulfilled the commitment which His Majesty herself made to plant the imperial eagle on the forts of Lisbon after an expedition as difficult as it was perilous, in which, every day, we were in the necessity of winning.

At which point every general of Soult’s corps and every other reader including me thinks: He doth protest much ...

Nor has His Excellency concealed from himself the fact that, since Burgos, the army has had to sustain continuous combats. He has considered how to avoid in the future the evils caused by this state of war and he has found none more suitable than that offered by the great majority of the inhabitants of the principal towns of Minho, especially as he hopes that this example will be propagated to the other provinces and that this beautiful country will thus be preserved from new calamities. His Majesty's intentions will be sooner and more gloriously fulfilled and our presence in Portugal, which at first had been a cause of fear for the inhabitants, will be seen there with pleasure while at the same time it will contribute to neutralizing the efforts of the enemies of the Emperor in this part of the continent.

Soult: Look, if the locals say they want us here, we don’t need to fight.

Army: ... Our marshal has a strange concept of war ...

The task which the Marshal has imposed on himself in this circumstance is immense, but he has the courage to embrace it and he believes that he will be able to carry it out successfully, if you are willing to help him in its execution. He wishes you to propagate the ideas which I have just communicated to you, and to ensure that any authorities or citizens who embrace the new system are protected in a particular way, by putting them in a position to pronounce themselves and to act accordingly in the future. You will watch more carefully than ever over the conduct of your troops, prevent them from committing any damage or insult which could irritate the inhabitants, [...]

Army: Wait! Is he saying we are not allowed to loot?

[...] and you will be good enough, General, to frequently inform His Excellency of the spirit of the inhabitants and of the results which you have obtained...

Army: We must write to the emperor! Let’s mutiny! Let’s conspire with the English! This is outrageous!

Very interesting article and interview with journalist Enrique Meneses, in this interview he mentions Jean Roy, his widow Lucita Gracia Vidal, their three children: Yves, Jean-Pierre and Marco Leleu Gracia and one of Lucita's grandson: Damien Leleu.

In Egypt, Yves Leleu used the pseudonym Jean Roy to protect the identity of his family: little Yves, Jean-Pierre and Marco, and his wife, Luz Montez, to whom he promised that he would take out life insurance and that that would be the last risky mission after seven years covering armed conflicts for the French weekly. He would only keep a promise, remembers his grandson, Damien Leleu. In Cairo, the photographer repaired an army Jeep with the license plate "Balzac 0024", the Paris Match telephone number. On November 10, 1956, David Seymour—founder of the Magnum agency—and Jean Roy ventured across “no man's land” in that off-road vehicle. A company that cost them their lives.

Very special thanks to @74paris for sharing this interesting article, wriiten in Spanish.
