Louis-Bernard Saint-Orens (Saintonge, 1733 — Isle de France (Mauritius), 9 September 1780)[1] was a French Navy officer.
[6] During the Siege of Pondicherry in 1778, Tronjoli had lost some of his ships and escaped to Isle de France with the survivors, arriving there in late September.
[8] In early October 1778, Pourvoyeuse captured the Danish merchantman Enighed, mistaking her for British.
[1] On 21 February 1779, he captured the East Indiaman Osterley, [9][10][11] helped by the armed merchantman Elisabeth.
On 9 September 1780, the day before he was to testify before the authorities, Saint-Orens was founded dead, officially from an aneurism, although rumour said that he had been mortally wounded in a sword duel with a M. Villeneuve, formerly a Counselor at Pondichéry.
