July 1789 CE

The Assembly at Versailles remains ignorant of most of the Paris events, but eminently aware that Marshal de Broglie stands on the brink of unleashing a pro-Royalist coup to force the Assembly to adopt the order of June 23, then to dissolve.

The vicomte de Noailles apparently first brings reasonably accurate news of the Paris events to Versailles.

M. Ganilh and Bancal-des-Issarts, dispatched to the Hôtel de Ville, confirm his report.

By the morning of July 15, the outcome appears clear to the king as well, and he and his military commanders back down.
