took place on the 21st of March; on the 30th of April appeared the proposition of the Tribunate to found a Government in France under the authority of one individual; on the 18th of May came the 'Senatus-consulte', naming Napoleon Bonaparte EMPEROR, and lastly, on the 10th. of June, the sentence of condemnation on Georges and his accomplices.
When in the service of Bonaparte I caused many appointments to be made, and many names to be erased from the emigrant list before the 'Senatus-consulte' of the 6th Floreal, year X.; but I never counted upon gratitude, experience having taught me that it was an empty word. The Duc de Rovigo attributed my disgrace to certain intercepted letters which injured me in the eyes of the First Consul.
Departure for Malmaison Unexpected question relative to the Bourbons Distinction between two opposition parties New intrigues of Lucien Camille Jordan's pamphlet seized Vituperation against the liberty of the press Revisal of the Constitution New 'Senatus-consulte Deputation from the Senate Audience of the Diplomatic Body Josephine's melancholy The discontented Secret meetings Fouche and the police agents The Code Napoleon Bonaparte's regular attendance at the Council of State His knowledge of mankind, and the science of government Napoleon's first sovereign act His visit to the Senate The Consular procession Polite etiquette The Senate and the Council of State Complaints against Lucien The deaf and dumb assembly Creation of senatorships.
Thus, for many of the emigres, "the senatus-consulte of the year X is simply a permit to starve to death in France "and, four years later, Napoleon himself estimates that "40,000 are without the means of subsistence."
The Concordat and the Legion of Honour The Council of State and the Tribunate Discussion on the word 'subjects' Chenier Chabot de l'Allier's proposition to the Tribunate The marked proof of national gratitude Bonaparte's duplicity and self-command Reply to the 'Senatus-consulte' The people consulted Consular decree The most, or the least M. de Vanblanc's speech Bonaparte's reply The address of the Tribunate Hopes and predictions thwarted.
It was proposed in the Senate that the proposition of the Consulate for life should take the priority of that of the decennial prolongation; but this was not agreed to; and the latter proposition being adopted, the other, of course, could not be discussed. There was something very curious in the 'Senatus-consulte' published on the occasion.
An Austrian corps even penetrated into some provinces of the Electorate; all this afforded Napoleon a pretest for going to the aid of his allies. In the memorable sitting preceding his departure the Emperor presented a project of a 'Senatus-consulte' relative to the re-organisation of the National Guard.
And yet the least reflection would have shown how shamefully Napoleon forswore the declaration he made to the Senate, when the organic 'Senatus-consulte' for the foundation of the Empire was presented to him at St: Cloud: On that occasion he said; "The French people shall never be MY people!"
It was the suppression pure and simple, by a "senatus-consulte," of the "Tribunate" formerly instituted with so much pomp, and which had gradually fallen into insignificance, owing to the successive changes it had undergone, and to the secrecy imposed on its deliberations. The absolute power could support neither contradiction nor even the appearance of discussion, however moderate it might be.
Nothing but madness or despair could have suggested the thought of subduing, with such scanty resources, the foreign masses which occupied and surrounded Paris. On the 2d of April the Senate published a 'Senatus-consulte', declaring that Napoleon had forfeited the throne, and abolishing the right of succession, which had been established in favour of his family.
