It was also on 8 July that Napoleon Bonaparte embarked, at Rochefort, on board the On 10 July, the wind became favourable, but a British fleet made its appearance; and Napoleon, seeing the difficulty of eluding the vigilance of its cruisers, resolved, after having previously communicated with Captain Paris Proclamation of the Provisional Government, 24 JuneNapoleon leaves Paris for the Palace of Malmaison, 25 JuneParis Proclamation of the Provisional Government, 24 JuneNapoleon leaves Paris for the Palace of Malmaison, 25 June"The authentic news of the fatal battle had reached Paris about two hours before Napoleon came back; and immediately on its arrival a meeting assembled at the house of Some sources replace this sentence with "The country is in danger, and you alone can save it".Some sources replace these two sentences with: "Allow a veteran in the sacred cause of freedom, and a stranger to the spirit of faction, to submit to you some resolutions, which the dangers of the present crisis demand.
