XI. FIN

LE 21 juin, Napoléon est de retour à Paris. Le 22, il abdique en faveur de son fils.

Le 8 juillet, Louis XVIII. rentre à Paris. Le 14, Napoléon, après avoir refusé l'offre

n'avait pas permis aux Prussiens de se retirer après la bataille de Ligny.

du capitaine Baudin, depuis vice-amiral, qui lui propose de le conduire aux États-Unis, passe à bord du Bellcrophon, commandé par le capitaine Maitland.

Le \6 juillet, le Bellérophon fit voile pour l'Angleterre.

Le 26 au soir, le Bellcrophon entra dans la rade de Plymouth. Là, les premiers bruits de déportation à Sainte-Hélène se répandirent: Napoléon ne voulut pas y croire.

Le 7 août, malgré sa protestation, Napoléon fut forcé de quitter le Bellérophon pour passer à bord du Northumberland.

Le lundi, 7 août 1815, le Northumberland appareilla pour Sainte-Hélène.

Le 16 octobre, soixante-dix jours après son départ de l'Angleterre, et cent dix jours après avoir quitté la France, Napoléon toucha le rocher dont il devait faire un piédestal.
