19th Century Soldier Photo 12

This is a photo I took of an old soldier photo I found in the junk piles at a flea market.  It is a very early Tin Type piece of photography.  I believe this might be a French soldier based on the Kepi style hat he is wearing?  He has some maybe brass or gold buttons on his coat?  I can't say much about this soldier's uniform.  I mostly know about 20th Century American militaria.
