The general wish now is that King would come to Paris and it was hoped yesterday that His Majesty would be induced to shew Himself here on this day, but it is said that He is prevented coming by indisposition: it is thought difficult to foresee what measures the people will have recourse to: the general idea however is that an armed Body of Citizens to the number of at least 50,000 will go to Versailles and forcibly bring their Sovereign to the Capital. The disposition of the people at this moment is so unfavorable to the Court that I should not be surprized if the States-Genral, by appearing to give too much credit to the King's professions, should lose the consideration in which they have hitherto been held by the Nation. The Populance will not easily forgive the removal of M. Necker; for they seem determined to push their resentment to the utmost lengths; but God forbid that should be the case, since they have already got the upperhand, for who can trust to the moderation of an offended multitude? The regularity and determined conduct of the populance upon the present occasion exceeds all belief and the execration of the Nobility is universal amongst the lower order of people.
Everybody since Monday has appeared with a cockade in his hat; at first green ribbons were worn but that being the color of the Comte d'Artois' livery, red and white in honor of the Duc d'Orleans have been substituted.

The Royal Treasury is in the hands of the Bourgeosis and is untouched: the Caisse d'Escompte is also under the same protection and payments are made there as usual At least 200 workmen are employed in pulling down the Bastille, but as sit is a construction of uncommon strength, it will require some time to erase it entirely.
