SOUVENIR DU PREMIER CONSUL NAPOLEON BONAPARTE. RARE FLAG CRAVATE offered on 15 prairial An 10 (June 4, 1802) by the First Consul Napoleon Bonaparte to the 1st foot artillery regiment, his former regiment. Rectangular, in double tricolor silk, with three stripes: red, white and blue. Richly embroidered on the lower part of both sides with two shields and a cartouche with a screened background respectively marked "DONNE PAR", "LE Ier CONSUL AU Ier Rgt D'Artie A PIED" "LE 15 PRAIRIAL AN 10", surrounded by oak and laurel branches, and two exploding grenades. The whole embroidered with silver thread, soutache, sequins and canetille (oxidation) and scarlet thread. Consulate period. 50 x 141 cm. (A.B.E. some tears, wear and discoloration). History: On the presentation of this tie: This tie, presented personally by the First Consul Bonaparte, is the symbol of a return to favor, that of a "rebel" regiment, the 1er régiment d'artillerie à pied. This regiment was particularly dear to the heart of the future emperor, since he had served in the Fère artillery regiment, which became the 1st foot artillery regiment during the Revolution. From July 11 to 14, 1801, Turin was the scene of a military revolt. The unrest began with complaints from French sappers who had not received their pay. General Delmas, in command of Turin, had some of them shot on the spot. The severity of the reaction led to an insurrection among the troops, and four companies of gunners from the 1st foot artillery regiment formed an "outlaw" government, putting General Delmas to flight. However, order was maintained in the town. On 7 fructidor an IX (August 25, 1801), Bonaparte reversed these acts. "Bonaparte, First Consul, to the soldiers of the 1st artillery regiment: Soldiers, your conduct in the citadel of Turin has resounded throughout Europe. Our enemies rejoiced to see you insubordinate and criminal. Deep sorrow has preceded the cry for vengeance in the hearts of your fellow citizens. The decree that followed Bonaparte's proclamation was unambiguous: the regiment was disbanded, with each company sent to another regiment. Both flags were sent to the Temple de Mars and covered with a black crepe. At the time, the Temple de Mars was the dome of the Invalides. This "punishment" was rightly resented by a large part of the regiment, since only four of the regiment's 20 companies had taken part in the Turin insurrection. And the other companies had fought very bravely. The regimental commander, Allix, addressed a petition to the First Consul, concluding with the following words: "The regiment recalls with pride that it had the honor of counting you among its officers, and expects everything from your justice." In September 1801, the regiment returned to grace. "The First Consul, citizen, renders to the companies of the 1st artillery regiment that did not participate in the Piedmont insurrection all the justice they deserve for their services as well as for the glory they have acquired militarily, and through their discipline. He has asked me to invite you to assure them of this. As soon as the regiment is formed, the First Consul will himself present it with a flag, as a token of the Government's particular esteem." In the absence of flags, Bonaparte was true to his word, offering new ties (or "banderoles") for the regiment. Newspapers of the time summarize the ceremony for the presentation of ties to the flags of the 1st foot artillery regiment on 15 Prairial An 10 (June 4, 1802): "At the grand parade held today, the First Consul returned to the 1st foot artillery regiment its flags, which after the Turin insurrection, had been taken away from it to be wrapped in a black crepe, and hung at the Temple de Mars. At eleven o'clock in the morning, sixty men of the guard's mounted cannoneers went to the Temple, received the flags from General Berruyer, and then came to the courtyard of the Tuileries, where all the troops were ranged in battle opposite the 1st foot artillery regiment. Before moving to the front of the line, the First Consul went to the center of the regiment, where the first inspector-general, along with several artillery officers-general and the regiment's officers and non-commissioned officers, were gathered. The flags were presented to him, he tore off the black crepes, and the Minister of War placed the new ties on them." CONTINUATION OF THE SHEET: See "Documents".
