Ah...now that is one big question! It really depends on the country..

BUT, lets just average everyone out, and a normal infantry regiment would be:

    One Battalion-
    -Between four and eight companies of Line Infantry
    -One Grenadier Company
    -One other company that would act as skirmishers in times of need
    Another Battalion...same organization as above


Now, the tactical unit in the Napoleonic times was the battalion, just as in FoW WWII, it is the platoon.

These may be of some basic help:

http://www.wtj.com/nosworthy/organization.htm

http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/La_Grande_Armée


This, on the other hand, is one of the best books (IMHO); expensive, but well worth the cost.
