Summary[edit]

Description
English: 18 June 1815, late evening.

And suddenly broke out news of victorious fights at hardly known places the day before, like : La Haye Sainte, Belle-Alliance, Goumont (Hougoumont)..., – as the daily L'Oracle enthusiastically reported from Brussels : "Partout la haine contre l'usurpateur a éclaté de la manière la plus énergique ; hier, au moment de la bataille, la crainte glaçait toutes les âmes ; aujourd'hui la joie la plus vive est peinte sur toutes les figures. (...)" – (L'Oracle, 19 June 1815.)

TRANSLATION – Everywhere hatred against the usurper has burst forth in the most energetic manner; yesterday, at the time of the battle, fear froze all souls; today the liveliest joy is painted on all faces. (...)
