Jean Baptiste Marie Franceschi-Delonne
Jean Baptiste Marie Franceschi-Delonne (1767 - October 23 1810, Carthagena) was a French General, who served throughout the Revolutionary campaign on the Rhine, took part in the campaign of Zurich in 1799, and distinguished himself very greatly by his escape from, and subsequent return to, Genoa, when in 1800 Masséna was closely besieged in that city. He became a cavalry colonel in 1803, was promoted general of brigade on the field of Austerlitz, and served in southern Italy and in Spain on the staff of King Joseph Bonaparte.
