On May 3 he made his entry into Paris; on May he caused a constitu t:on to be drawn up; on June 4 it was formally accepted. When Napoleon made his reappearance in France, March 1, 1S15, his pr sence rous d every latent feeling, and inspired his former fol lowers with tenfold courage and enthusi asm. Louis was compelled to flee from Paris on the 20th, and seek refuge in P,elgium. The ministers, together with several officers of distinction, followed the king; and Tallcyrand, in particular, was actively in his cause at Vienna. Great events now followed in rapid The 1 etie of Water loo, I , broke the power of Napoleon; Wel,ington and Bliicher marched to Paris; and Fouche, who nad already induced the emperor to leave France, put a stop to the shedding of blood by the capitulation of Paris, July 3. Thus was Louis once more restored to the throne of France. Among the most decided measures by which the king sought to support his throne was the ordinance of July 16 disbanding the army, according to the wishes of the Allies; and another, dated July 24, ex cluding from the general amnesty those who were there denominated "rebels," and whose punishment, for the most part, consisted in exile, or degradation from the peerage. All the relations of Napoleon were, under pain of death, banished from France; as were also those who had voted for the death of Louis XVI., and those who had, in 1815,
received offices or honors from the "usurper." During the last few years of his reign Louis was much enfeebled by disease; and a paralysis of the lower limbs taking place, he died, Sept.16,1824.
