Probably this is a reference to Napoleon III of France, who was defeated by Germany in 1870, was deposed, and died in 1873. The Tablet or letter which Baha'u'llah sent to Napoleon III is described by E.G. Browne in JRAS., 1889, p.967 f. It seems that Baha'u'llah had informed Napoleon III of the way that the Turkish government had treated him, perhaps hoping that help would be given him. Napoleon III as head of the French government claimed to be the protector of the Christians in Turkey, but apparently did nothing to help Baha'u'llah.
