This Day in History: Napoleon escapes from Elba
Thus starting The Hundred Days.
Edmund Fillingham King's book Ten Thousand Wonderful Things (1853) collected a sampling of French newspaper remarks as Napoleon approached Paris during March:
9th - The Cannibal has escaped from his den.
10th - The Corsican Ogre has just landed at Cape Juan.
12th - The monster has passed the night at Grenoble.
13th - The tyrant has crossed Lyons.
14th - The usurper is directing his course towards Dijon, but the brave and loyal Burgundians surround him on all sides.
18th - Bonaparte is sixty leagues from the capital; he has had skill enough to escape from the hands of his pursuers.
19th - Bonaparte advances rapidly, but he will never enter Paris.
21st - His Imperial and Royal Majesty last evening made his entrance into the Palace of the Tuileries, amidst the joyous acclamations of an adoring and faithful people.
