  Jean Victor Marie Moreau - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
In 1791 Moreau was elected a lieutenant colonel of the volunteers of Ille-et-Vilaine.
Moreau was dismissed, and it was only when in 1799 the absence of Bonaparte and the victorious advance of Suvarov made it necessary to have some tried and experienced general in Italy that he was re-employed.
Moreau's condemnation was procured only by great pressure being brought to bear by Bonaparte on the judges; and after it was pronounced the First Consul treated him with a pretence of leniency, commuting a sentence of imprisonment to one of banishment.

But it matters not who was in fault on this occasion; the fact is, that Vandamme was not supported, and that the defile being thus left open, the corps of General Kleist, which followed that of General Osterman, passed, without being aware of the circumstance*, between the corps of Marshal Saint-Cyr and General Vandamme.
Their general tried to rally them, and an attempt was made to engage Bertrand's troops; but the impulse was given, and utter confusion soon prevailed.
