Napoleon

Alexander addressed the Sénat conservateur

Friday Apr 1, 1814
Luxembourg Palace, Paris, France

On 1 April, Alexander addressed the Sénat conservateur. Long docile to Napoleon, under Talleyrand's prodding it had turned against him. Alexander told the Sénat that the Allies were fighting against Napoleon, not France, and they were prepared to offer honorable peace terms if Napoleon were removed from power.
