YSAMBERT, Gustave (ee-zahm-bair), French
naval officer, b. in Brittany in 1667 ; d. in Rio
Janeiro, Brazil, 18 March, 1711. After command-
ing a privateer in the West Indies and the Pacific
ocean, he entered the royal navy about 1700, with
the rank of commander. In i710 he sailed as
chief-of-staff of Jean Baptiste Duclerc in the lat-
ter's expedition to Brazil. On 6 Aug. they sighted
Rio Janeiro, which they could have then carried
by a speedy attack, but, Duclerc's intention being
opposed by Ysambert and the council of war, they
anchored on 17 Aug. at a point near Tejuco and
landed 900 marines. The Portuguese meanwhile
had prepared for resistance, and when the French
arrived at Novo Engenho dos Padres da Cornpan hia, six miles from Rio Janeiro, they met a Portuguese division which they defeated. Failing
to receive co-operation from the fleet, which had
been dispersed by a tempest, they were attacked, on
18 Sept., by the viceroy, Francisco de Castro Moraes,
with superior forces, but routed him and followed
the fugitives into the city. Being received there
by a cross-fire from fortified buildings, Ysam-
bert with a small party barricaded himself in the
city-hall, while Duclerc took shelter in the custom-
house. After a heavy loss, Duclerc agreed to ca-
pitulate on condition that his forces should be re-
turned to France ; but Ysambert, whose position
was stronger, was reluctant to trust the Portu-
guese, and continued resistance till he received
peremptory orders from Duclerc to comply with
the terms of the capitulation. The leaders were
well treated, but a few days later the French fleet,
unaware of the surrender, made an attack on the
city. The viceroy proclaimed the capitulation vio-
lated, and the officers were thereafter kept in close
confinement. Duclerc and Ysambert were killed
by the guard in an attempt to escape, or mur-
dered, according to other historians, on 18 March,
1711. Their death was avenged a few months
later by Dugay-Trouin, who released the surviv-
ing French prisoners.
