Yes, thou in thy solitude hast certainly heard nothing of the brilliant July days.
The Parisians have deposed Charles X.If the former Revolution was a blood-fruit, this one is a true passionflower, suddenly sprung up, exciting astonishment through its beauty, and as soon as the work is ended rolling together its leaves.

My cousin Joachim, who as thou knowest is just now at Paris, has lived through these extraordinary days.

The day before yesterday we received a long, interesting letter from him, which gave us--of the particulars as well as of the whole--a more complete idea than the papers can give us.

People assemble in groups round the post-houses to receive the papers as they arrive.

I have extracted from my cousin's letter what has struck me most, and send thee these extracts in a supplement.
