TALLEYRAND-PÉRIGORD (Charles-Maurice de). Letter signed "ch mau taleyrand prince de benevent" as Minister of Foreign Affairs, addressed to Édouard Bignon, Minister Plenipotentiary at Cassel in Hesse. Mainz, October 14, 1806. One p. folio. Announcement of the brilliant French successes opening the Prussian campaign: the battle of Schleiz (October 9) won by Marshal Bernadotte with the help of Murat's cavalry, over the Prussian-Saxon forces of Prussian general Bogislav Friedrich Emanuel von Tauentzien, and the battle of Saalfeld (October 10) won by Marshal Lannes over the Prussian vanguard of Prince Louis-Ferdinand of Prussia, who lost his life. "I have the honor of informing you, Sir, that the first engagements have taken place against the Prussians: that they have been entirely to our advantage and have already produced very important results. It is only for your own information that I am sending you the first reports: you may, however, communicate them orally to the Ministry of the Elector, but you will note that nothing I write to you is to be printed. General Tauenzien's corps of six thousand Prussians and three thousand Saxons was attacked and overwhelmed by the vanguard of the French army commanded by the Grand Duke of Berg [Murat, at the battle of Schleiz]. The Saxons suffered considerable losses. It was noted that the Prussians had placed a Saxon battalion between two Prussian battalions to secure them and force them to fight against their will. Other engagements took place all along the line. They were all equally brilliant. The enemy lost many men. Prince Louis-Ferdinand of Prussia was killed [at the battle of Saalfeld]. Thirty-two pieces of cannon were captured from the Prussians and a large number of prisoners taken...". A fine missive reinterpreting the facts in a way that served Napoleon I's purposes in Germany. The content of this letter was to be communicated orally to the Elector of Hesse, an insecure ally of France on Prussia's borders: Talleyrand thus insisted on Prussian losses, on the Saxons' unwillingness to fight against the French, and gave full credit for the Schleiz victory to Murat, who had become sovereign prince in Germany as Grand Duke of Berg at the gates of the Electorate of Hesse. At the end of the campaign, the Electorate of Saxony would enter the French-controlled Confederation of the Rhine and be elevated to the rank of kingdom, while the Electorate of Hesse, which did not oppose the Prussians' passage, was invaded by Marshal Mortier's troops and largely transformed into the Kingdom of Westphalia entrusted to Jérôme Bonaparte.
