Abstract
The news of revolutionary outbursts in Paris filtered into Brussels in bits and pieces, beginning on the evening of February 24. On the 25th, a variety of reports arrived before both rail and telegraph contact was broken off.1 The evening of the 25th, the Comte de Hompesch arrived in Brussels with the first news of the proclamation of the Republic. It was common knowledge in the city the next day.2
