On 25 May 1801, the infante Louis Francis arrived to Paris and was treated by Napoleon and Joséphine; he left Paris on 1 July towards Florence, Tuscany's capital, where he assumed as king, backed by the French army commanded by General Grouchy. The new kingdom was named Etruria, after the region's name in ancient Roman times.

The Duke of Parma, Ferdinand, refused to accept the conditions of the treaty concerning his resignation to the Duchy, and instead of receiving the indemnization established in the treaty of 1801, continued possessing it—with French support—until he died the following year. From that time on the Duchy of Parma was integrated in the First French Empire.

On 15 October 1802, Charles IV published a Royal Bill in Barcelona that made effective the transfer of Louisiana, providing the withdrawal of the Spanish troops in the territory, on condition that the presence of the clergy be maintained and the inhabitants keep their properties. The colony did not remain for long under French sovereignty provided that France sold Louisiana to the United States the next year (1803), dismissing the promises made to Spain in the conversations about the 1801 treaty.

Famous quotes containing the word results:

    It is perhaps the principal admirableness of the Gothic schools of architecture, that they receive the results of the labour of inferior minds; and out of fragments full of imperfection ... raise up a stately and unaccusable whole.
    John Ruskin (1819–1900)

    In the works of man, everything is as poor as its author; vision is confined, means are limited, scope is restricted, movements are labored, and results are humdrum.
    Joseph De Maistre (1753–1821)

    For every life and every act
    Consequence of good and evil can be shown
    And as in time results of many deeds are blended
    So good and evil in the end become confounded.
    —T.S. (Thomas Stearns)
