Abstract

[After Napoleon’s fateful 1812 invasion of Russia, he retreated through Germany and France, suffering successive defeats in early 1814. After Napoleon’s abdication at Fontainebleau on April 6, Sicard’s political choices were clear: “I will not speak of this miserable one who has stretched us out so unfortunately. He has left for the Isle of Elba, under heavy escort. … Your M. [Joseph] Lainé [the deputy from Bordeaux, who opposed the futile conscription of 1813] has left a reputation of courage here that immortalizes his name.”1 Jubilant at the arrival of French and foreign princes in Bordeaux, Toulouse, and Paris, Sicard wrote,I cannot depict for you or transmit the amiability and affability of this Alexander who lets himself be approached, touched, and embraced by all Parisians…. He bears with his name, and that of all the august allies, all the rights of war which his army brought inside our walls…. What shall I tell you of this good comte d’Artois [the émigré brother of Louis XVI]? He has won over all souls; we do not tire of seeing him, of crying, “Vive le Roi, Vive le comte d’Artois, Vive les Bourbons!” The duc de Berry also has his share of every demonstration of joy and happiness. All Paris has watched the passage of these august princes and from every window cries of joy can be heard incessantly.2]
