After Holland was annexed to the First French Empire, he entered French service as a general of brigade and was assigned to garrison duty for two years. In 1813 Collaert was appointed to command a French cavalry brigade in Germany. That year he led his horsemen at Dresden and Leipzig. In February 1814 he fought at Mormans. Returning to the newly created Kingdom of the Netherlands in 1815, he was soon appointed lieutenant general of its cavalry. He was badly wounded at Waterloo and died of his injuries a year later.
