from
Wikipedia
Fouché cleared his name and gave the emperor useful advice concerning internal affairs and the diplomatic situation.
Nevertheless, the emperor, still distrustful, ordered him to undertake the government of the Illyrian provinces.
On the break-up of the Napoleonic system in Germany ( October 1813 ), Fouché was ordered on missions to Rome and thence to Naples, in order to watch the movements of Joachim Murat.
Before Fouché arrived in Naples, Murat invaded the Roman territory, whereupon Fouché received orders to return to France.
He arrived in Paris on 10 April 1814 at the time when Napoleon was being constrained by his marshals to abdicate.
