Parisian Intelligence in the Geneva Evening Post
In Paris, Aug 2, the weather is fine but cold. The Queen endures a toothache with fever, the royal family at St Cloud, and a deputation is sent to inquire after the King’s health. Necker signals retirement after accounts are checked, amid accusations linked to Count d Artois. Bonne Lavardin is recaptured and paraded to Paris. Cardinal de Rohan faces a forthcoming bar hearing, and Savardin’s escape is discussed. An amateur concert at Rue Dauphine features two boy violinists, while a Gallic Senate scene recalls General Ligonier’s 1747 capture. The President Treilhard addresses the Deputies to honor the veteran.
