STAËL GERMAINE NECKER, BARONNE DE (1766-1817)
L.A., Coppet 23 May [1815], to Count Trophime-Gérard de LALLYTOLENDAL| 3 pages in-4, address.
Splendid political letter of the Hundred Days.
"It is the king who has made us happy for ten short months of our life, it is poor France that I still love without knowing almost to whom to address this feeling. Two men politically have abandoned our liberal party, which had more victims than defectors, but of these two, it is Benjamin [CONSTANT] who inspires the highest degree of irritation in me. As for me, you will not believe me, I hope I go to Paris despite all the seductions that are used to attract me there.
I am staying here. I am at least suspending my daughter's marriage and I will leave this hyver to Greece and Jerusalem if all is not finished. One has to go to the Holy Land to be farther from the unholy land, and yet it is our country!" She gives news: "Mr de LA FAYETTE and Mr de BROGLIE were offered to be even and they refused. Our poor old young DUPONT DE NEMOURS has gone to America.
He is constantly appearing in Paris with writings full of regrets for the King, but the name of foreigners produces an invincible irritation. I only know the midday sun, which is said to bear it very well. Try to nationalize yourself as much as possible. I would like the king in Switzerland in a neutral country surrounded by Swiss people who are accustomed to looking like Franks.
At least that's the opinion that it's important to conquer. War is easy, but after it there are still 24 million people left, more than half of whom have an ulcerated heart. ...] I am not one of those who believe in invincible resistance in France, but I do not believe either in a revolution in Paris, and it seems to me that the worst situation is brewing - that is to say, foreigners doing everything and the nation still ulcerated, and what can we do about it? This man [Napoleon] cannot be reconciled with the human race. His constitution is better than the constitutional charter,
