Excerpt from Anecdotes of Napoleon Bonaparte, His Ministers, His Generals, His Soldiers, and His Times: His Disinterment at St. Helena, and His Second Interment in France In the year 1805, when about to be crowned King of Italy, on passing through Lyons, he again saw Mademoiselle Colombier, who had now changed her name to Madame de Bressieux; she gained access to him with some difficulty, surrounded as he was by the etiquette of royalty. Napoleon was happy at seeing her again but he found her much altered for the Worse. He granted her husband what she solicited, and placed her in the situation of lady of honour to one of his sisters. - Las Cases.
