What were all the regiments in the Duchy of Nassau, while it was in the Confederation of the Rhine? The type of regiment (inf, arty, etc.) and uniform design would also help.

They had 2 regiments of infantry. The 1st and 2nd Nassau Regiments.
They wore green uniforms of French style with Yellow lace and black cuffs and collars. They had yellow leather equipment belts. Their grenadiers had black fur colpacks.
There was a jager detachment that was formed in 1813 which was small (about 2 companies strong) who wore a similar uniform to the line infantry.
There was also a Nassau light horse unit (chassuers) who served Alongside the French army. They wore French style chassuer dress with black cuffs and I think white lace which made them quite distinctive from other French units.
