Publisher's Synopsis
Excerpt from The Life of Napoleon Buonaparte, Vol. 3
Napoleon on leaving Schonbrunn returned to France by way of Munich, where he waited for the ratification of the treaty by Austria. TO convey the intelligence as soon as possible, military posts were placed on the heights at certain distances, who were to give the signal by white ?ags in the day and by bonfires kindled at night. The news of the ratification came the third day of the Emperor's stay at the capital of Bavaria. He set out next day for Fontainebleau, where he arrived a few hours before the Em press, who had left Strasburg for Paris a month before.. There were marks of uneasiness on her countenance and an appearance of constraint in 'napolepn's behavior to her. She was alarmed at the circumstance of the private communication between her room and the Emperor's having been shut Up. They returned to Paris on the 14th of November, where the presence of the King of Sax ony sometimes relieved the awkwardness of a tete c'z tete but it was easy to remark a considerable alteration in the features of the Empress and a silent reserve on the part of the Emperor.
