Résumé
This article studies the dispatches sent to the Foreign Secretary in Lisbon throughout the year 1789 ; through these reports we can analyse the reactions of Portuguese diplomats in European courts to the events of that year in France, Geneva and the Austrian Low Countries. We can see not only the unfolding of the revolutionary events, but also the way in which they were interpreted, and how they affected the outlook of these eye-witnesses. Thus we can follow the emergence of an awareness of the French Revolution as the foundation of a new political and social order.
