Davoust also opined that it was too late now that the deputies had firmly seized the reins and were protected by the National Guards of Paris. And so Napoleon let matters drift. In truth, he was "bewildered" by the disunion of France. It was a France that he knew not, a land given over to idéalogues and traitors.
