Yes, at this time each battalion in the light and line infantry was issued with an eagle, after 1808 - with the new organisation and an extra created porte - ailge (before on of the sergent - majors had the honor to carry the eagle) - usually only one per regiment was carried (due to the eagle losses in the 1807 campaign)
