CHABAUD-LATOUR (François Henri Ernest) Nîmes / Gard 1804 - Paris 1885 - General, Deputy of GARD. He took part in the Kabylie Expedition (1857) and the Siege of Paris - Letter A. S. "E. de CHABAUD-LATOUR" - GRENOBLE September 9, 1845 - 4 pages in-8° - Interesting military and political letter on the pacification of ALGERIA: "Mon cher Colonel. He thanks him for his words on the occasion of the part he took in the bill on the extraordinary works of Fortifications. "Since I do not at present have the honor of serving in Africa, I am happy at least to contribute to everything that can contribute to the military strength and defense of our Homeland, to have directed part of the Fortifications of PARIS as an Engineer Officer; and to associate myself as a Deputy in the Defense of all our military interests. It means continuing to obey the will of our dear and unfortunate Duc D'ORLÉANS, whose thoughts were so National, so ardent for everything that touched the honor and power of France. May his memory be for all of us who loved him so much, for whom he was always so good, like the pillar of fire that guided Israel. You justify in a brilliant way, my dear Colonel, the interest that M. le Duc d'ORLÉANS took in your career, by finishing off at the price of incessant fatigue and danger these turbulent tribes always ready to raise the banner of revolt against us. The disarmament measure seems to me very effective in preventing the return of these insurrections, and your columns must have struck the Arabs with great terror for them to have resigned themselves to such a great sacrifice...as for the events in the Ouled Biah caves, while I deplore the fact that such extremes had to be reached, you can be sure that all men of sense, all those who know what the AFRICAN WAR is, have understood that Colonel PÉLISSIER had only obeyed a cruel necessity, and that he could not withdraw without having got the better of the most indomitable core of the rebels. ... I can give you the best news of the King's health and that of Madame la Duchesse d'ORLÉANS and our young princes, who are in EU and enjoying the sea air. Our political situation is excellent, and it is likely that the forthcoming transfer will take place without serious unrest...."
