Rare article on the town of Aarau in Switzerland and Escher. Exceptional newspaper written and printed in London, England. A newspaper with a very free tone, escaping censorship, the Courrier de Londres is the only French newspaper that circulates throughout Europe except France. This is an extraordinary and fascinating historical document on the vision of the Egyptian campaign from abroad. There is no trace of this extremely rare journal in the national archives or at the BNF.

In February 1788, the Courrier de Londres succeeded the Courier de l'Europe in England, while the latter was to continue to appear in France until the end of 1792. He took the text (with minimal differences) and the volume. Like him, it was biweekly. Nothing has yet enabled us to know the reasons for this change of title; its owner, Samuel Swinton (also owner of the Courier de l'Europe) described it, in February 1793, as "the only [French newspaper] in England which circulates throughout all of Europe except France". Its printer was the same as that of the Courier de l'Europe. It is believed that it also had the same editors until the beginning of 1793. However, at that date, the Abbé de Calonne, an emigrant in England and brother of the former minister who subsidised the newspaper, took over its management. Its political nuance then clearly became that of complete royalism. After the failure of Montlosier's newspaper, the Journal de France et d'Angleterre, it merged with the Courier de Londres, and Montlosier was appointed assistant to the Abbé de Calonne, although he was a moderate royalist and openly monarchist. He wrote in particular the part relating to French politics, leaving the news from England and abroad to the Abbé de Calonne. After the latter's departure for Canada in 1798, Montlosier remained the sole principal editor of the Courier de Londres with the help of a few émigré collaborators. It was to his pen that the London Courier owed a renewed interest thanks to his political and even scientific articles. But at the same time he gave it his own political orientation on the occasion of the controversies which arose between the two parties of the emigration (monarchists and pure royalists); see on this subject his defense of Malouet and Mallet Du Pan, his position on the Concordat and the attitude of the non-Concordat bishops. This personal influence was felt even more when he rallied to Bonaparte, a rallying which was consummated by his break with the owners of the London Courier and the creation of another newspaper which he called the London and Paris Courier. The London Courier then became, with its new editor Régnier (a former collaborator of the Acts of the Apostles) and with the anonymous assistance of Peltier, a violently anti-Bonapartist organ. He greeted the Restoration with joy. A man named Gérard had, around 1809, succeeded Régnier. We only sell authentic documents.
