WHEN NAPOLEON WAS OUTLAWED
Tho Congress of Vienna did not trouble itself about trial or procedure in the cn.se of Bonaparte,' says a writer in the "Spectator," On March 13. 1815, it issued a' Declaration—which ■is ccrtain to be used as a precedent on this occasion. It says in one passage:— "Bonaparte . • • has deprived himself of (lie protection of the law, and has manife.-.ted to the universe that there can be neither peace nor truce with him. The Powers consequently declare that Napoleon- Bonaparto has placed himself without the pale of civil and social ■ relations, and that as an enemy and dis- ' turber of the tranquillity of the world • lie has rendered himself liable to public ■ vengeance—a la vindicte publique." As Lord ltosebery puts it ('Napoleon— ' the Last Phase/ c. vi.): "Tho Congress I nf-Vicuiin has outlawed Napoleon." Tho 1 .BrilMi signatories were Wellington, ' Clancatary, Cathcat Stewart.
