KELLERMANN (François Christophe, Duke of Valmy). Born in Strasbourg. 1735-1820. Military and political figure. Marshal of France. Billet A.S. "le duc de Valmy". S.l.n.d., July 7 (after 1814). 2 pp. in-8. ...J'ai passé hyer au bureau du constitutionel (sic) pour remettre à M. de St Hilaire mes observations sur les reproches qu'on adresse au gouvert dAlger et sur le projet d'y envoyer un gouverneur civil... explains the Duc de Valmy. As he did not find it there, he preferred not to leave them there, all the more so as ...the decisions that might (sic) have been taken on this question are still only a personal postponement, so to speak... he is content to send him his ideas, which go in a direction that may not suit the newspaper. Thus, if ...he does not believe he should make use of them in whole or in part, I would ask him to return my notes to me... he concludes.
