French accounts of Portuguese campaign 1807/8

Does anyone know of good primary source accounts from the French army for the 1807 invasion of Portugal, subsequent occupation, and then the campaign leading up to Vimeiro? So far I have Thiébault's narrative and memoirs, Foy's history, and two accounts from artillery officers (the brothers Hulot). I also have several French histories of the campaign.


What I could really do with are memoirs or letters from the infantry and cavalry. Does anyone know of any?

Thanks Rui, that looks very useful. I won't forget the Portuguese perspective. I just haven't assessed what I've already got yet.
