TRANSLATE into ENGLISH: La France offrait alors un des spectacles les plus curieux dans l'histoire morale des peuples. La lassitude du crime avait amené des lois plus douces. Une sorte de trève avait suspendu les vengeances civiles; dans cet intervalle, l'ordre social essayait de renaître. Ses maux s'oubliaient rapidement; on se hâtait d'espérer, et de se confier au sol tremblant de la France. Une joie frivole et tumultueuse s'était emparée des âmes, comme par l'étonnement d'avoir survécu; et l'on célébrait des fêtes sur les ruines. Ainsi dans les campagnes ravagées par le Vésuve, quand le torrent de flamme a détruit les ouvrages et les habitations des hommes, bientôt la securité succède au péril, on se réunit, on se rapproche, et l'on bâtit de nouvelles demeures avec les laves refroidies du Volcan.
