Chess history: Napoleon Bonaparte beats Madame De Remusat in 14 moves

To mix it up, I decided to analyze games with a historical value, starting with the first game I could find from Napoleon.
Certainly not the best game, he certainly should have lost the game. But it has entertainment value imo. If nothing else, there is a mate in 3 at the end.

Interesting moments:
Opening options 0:45
Napoleon Blunders 1:45
How to stop the threat 2:48
Turning the tables Nf6+ 3:45
Find the mate in 3, 5:10

Enjoy
Apparently Benjamin Franklin was a strong chess player at the time. Have any of his games been recorded or they all lost to history?
@TheBoarShark Sorry I was not able to locate any game.
If anyone has a game of Benjamin Franklin, let me know and I would be happy to analyze it.
