Well...

From refusing assignments he didn't like as a young officer

Stange, isn't, that nobody told him something

to the "Whiff of Grapshot" in the Paris streets,

This was under the command of Director Barras, if I'm correct

to making his own treaty with the Austrians

By the way, why not ? Again, he was not put in cell for that

to the debacle and desertion of his Army in Eygpt;

Long deabte... Don't forget that the letter, from the Directory, calling him back, was on its way.... And it was a terrible bargain, because he could have been catch by the Brits (btw : why did they don't try ?????)

Best Regards

Robert
