Jean Augustin Ernouf
Divisional-General Manuel Louis Jean Augustin Ernouf (29 August 1753 – 12 September 1827) was a French Army officer and colonial administrator who served in the French Revolutionary and Napoleonic Wars. He demonstrated moderate abilities as a combat commander; his real strength lay in his organizational and logistical talents. He held several posts as chief-of-staff and in military administration. He joined the military in 1791, as a private in the French Revolutionary Army; from September 1791 to September 1793, he was promoted from lieutenant to brigadier general. He and his commanding officer were accused of being counter-revolutionaries, disgraced, and then, in 1794, restored to rank. In 1804, Napoleon I appointed him as governor general of Guadeloupe, following the suppression of revolt by Black Guadeloupeans opposed to the restoration of direct French rule and slavery. Although he was able to reestablish some semblance of order and agricultural production, the Briti ... [...More Info...] [...Related Items...] OR: [Wikipedia] [Google] [Baidu] |

Lloyd's List
''Lloyd's List'' is one of the world's oldest continuously running journals, having provided weekly shipping news in London as early as 1734. It was published daily until 2013 (when the final print issue, number 60,850, was published), and is now published digitally.

A sovereign or delegated authority issued commissions, also referred to as Letter of marque, letters of marque, during wartime. The commission empowered the holder to carry on all forms of hostility permissible at sea by the usages of war. This included attacking foreign vessels and taking them as prizes and taking crews prisoner for exchange. Captured ships were subject to condemnation and sale under prize (law), prize law, with the proceeds divided by percentage between the privateer's sponsors, shipowners, captains and crew. A percentage share usually went to the issuer of the commission (i.e. the sovereign). Most colonial powers, as well as other countries, engaged in privateering. Privateering allowed sovereigns to multiply their naval force ... [...More Info...] [...Related Items...] OR: [Wikipedia] [Google] [Baidu] |
