—JEAN-GABRIEL EYNARD IN HIS DIARY, MARCH 1815 On Tuesday, March 7, after three in the morning, Metternich climbed the marble steps to his private rooms on the third floor of the Chancellery, where he crawled into bed for a well-deserved sleep. Another lengthy meeting of the Committee of Five had finally ended, and he was exhausted. “I had forbidden my valet to disturb my rest,” he said. Only a few hours later, his valet entered the chamber with a dispatch marked “URGENT.” Metternich took the e...nvelope, glanced at the faraway sender, and then promptly set it on his nightstand. He then tried to go back to sleep, but as he put it, “sleep once disturbed, would not return.” About half past seven, he gave up his tossing and turning, and opened the dispatch. It was a letter that he would never forget. The commissioner on Elba, Neil Campbell, reported that Napoleon was nowhere to be found and wondered if anyone had seen him. The Austrian foreign minister sprang out of bed, threw on his clothes, and raced over to the Hofburg to inform Emperor Francis.
