He was afterwards charged with the conquest of the kingdom of Naples, and subsequently sent to Poland, whence he returned to France at the peace of Tilsit.-The war called him again into Germany in 1809. There, after several honourable combats, he received, in the plains of Esling, the title of Prince, after having sustained the shock of the enemy's right, and saved the French army by his able conduct and invincible courage. He afterwards acted a brilliant part in the battle of Wagram, in which he was seen, though sick and suffering, advancing at the head of his troops, and animating them by his example. ended his military career by the command of the army of Portugal in 1810 and 1811.
