General Sémélé's Journal of 1809?

Napier and - after him? - Oman refer in their relations of the Talavera campaign to General Sémélé's (*) journal of operations of the French 1st corps (Marshal Victor) in 1809. Napier wrote that he used an uncertified copy of this journal.


Has anybody a reference, where this journal is archived? Was it ever published?


Thanks in advance, Thomas Hemmann

(*) Sometimes written "Semelé", Six gives his name as "Semellé".
