_Victor, and other Maréchals give in their adhesion to the Provisional Government--Marmont enters into a separate Convention; but assists at the Conferences held at Paris, leaving Souham second in command of his Army--The Commanders have an interview with the Emperor Alexander--Souham enters with his Army, into the lines of the Allies; in consequence, the Allied Sovereigns insist upon the unconditional Submission of Napoleon--His reluctant acquiescence--The Terms granted to him--Disapprobation of Lord Castlereagh--General Desertion of Napoleon--Death of Josephine--Singular Statement made by Baron Fain, Napoleon's Secretary, of the Emperor's attempt to commit Suicide--After this he becomes more resigned--Leaves Fontainbleau, 28th April._ The plenipotentiaries of Napoleon had been directed to confer with Marmont at Essonne, in their road to the capital. They did so, and obtained information there, which rendered their negotiation more pressing. Several of the generals who had not been at Fontainbleau, and had not had an opportunity of acting in conjunction with the military council which assembled there, had viewed the act of the Senate, adhered to by the other public bodies, as decisively closing the reign of Buonaparte, or as indicating the commencement of a civil war. Most of them were of opinion, that the interest of an individual, whose talents had been as dangerous to France as the virtues of Cæsar had been to Rome, ought not to be weighed against the welfare of the capital and the whole nation. Victor, Duke of Belluno, had upon these principles given in his personal adhesion to the Provisional Government, and his example was followed by many others. [Sidenote: MARMONT'S CONVENTION.]
