Captain Dautancourt, Major Jacquin of the Légion d'Élite, two foot gendarmes of the same corps, Lerva and Tharsis, and Citizen Noirot, a lieutenant in the same corps, went to the Duc d'Enghien's and awoke him: he had but four hours to wait before returning to his sleep. The judge-advocate, assisted by Molin, a captain in the 18th Regiment, chosen as registrar by the aforesaid judge-advocate, examined the Prince. [Sidenote: And examined.] _Asked_: His surname, Christian names, age, and birthplace? _Answered_: That his name was Louis Antoine Henri de Bourbon, Duc d'Enghien, born 2 August 1772 at Chantilly. _Asked_: Where he had resided since he left France? _Answered_: That, after accompanying his relations, Condé's Corps having been formed, he had served through the whole war, and that, before that, he had been through the campaign of 1792, in Brabant, with Bourbon's Corps. _Asked_: If he had not gone to England, and if that Power did not still allow him a salary? _Answered_: That he had never been there; that England still allowed him his pay, which was all he had to live upon. _Asked_: What rank he filled in Condé's Army? _Answered_: Commander of the Advance Guard in 1796; before that campaign, as a volunteer at his grandfather's headquarters; and, ever since 1796, Commander of the Advance Guard. _Asked_: If he knew General Pichegru, and if he had had relations with him? _Answered_: "I have never seen him, to my knowledge. I have had no relations with him. I know that he wished to see me. I am glad that I never knew him, because of the base methods which he is said to have wished to employ, if true." _Asked_: If he knew ex-General Dumouriez, and if he had had relations with him? _Answered_: "Not with him either." * "Whence," continues the report, "were drawn up these presents, which have been signed by the Duc d'Enghien, Major Jacquin, Lieutenant Noirot, the two gendarmes, and captain-judge-advocate. "Before signing this present report the Duc d'Enghien said: "'I earnestly make a request to be granted a private audience of the First Consul. My name, my rank, my way of thinking and the horror of my situation make me hope that he will not refuse my request.'"
