SITTING of the JACOBINS. At the Jacobins, said thit for a long time past, Camille Defmoulins had grazed the guillotine; and he denounced him, for having; in one of his papers, with a criminal intention, furnilhed arms to the aristocrats. Collot d'Herbois and Hebert vindicated the characters of Ron fin and Vineent, arrested by order of the committee 6f fjiiblic tafety. Hebert ac cused Fahre d'Eglantine, of having ne ver atchieved any civic a&ion, but com posed many counter-revolutionary publica tions. He denounced Defmoulins, who since he had married a rich lady, had be come the friend of aristocrats ; despised tht true Jacobins, and ridiculed the minis ter Botichatte. He' attacked Bourdon de l'Oife for having calumniated Ronfin, deposed Roflignol, and insulted the best patriots. The fame charges were repeated against the fame persons at the Cordeliers. Ca mille Dcf-noulins, who had proposed to purchase back from the Englifli, the town of Toulon for three millions, and of course for one million more than they had given for it, was struck off the lift. The im mense fortune of Fabre d'Eglantine was again mentioned ; it was asserted, that in Augnitj 1792, he had 110 (hoes, and was indebted to ail old cloaths-rtien. His sen tence was adjourned till the next fitting of the Jacgbins. ' A letter from Tours, dated the 17th instant, states, that the Royalists have fci2cd all the vessels, they fotind on the rivets Isle and Vilaine ; put them on wag gons, carts, &e. and taken them for the purpose of making use of tliem to re-pass tiie .Loire ; and that the rebel general n Charnttr, was in light of Mortagne, with a:: army of 12,000 men. On the 14th inftar.t, the town of Ren nes was declared to be in a state of siege, which inclines us to fear, that the royal- ; ifts •vt'hti were said to have been drowned in the Loire, are approaching that town in confideraHe force. 'Thfc measure has : perhaps, been occasioned by their march to Morbihan, which was announced to the convention in the fittifig of the 22d. In the vrry fame fitting were read, letters from the vommiflloners' at Alenton, an nouncing feme dispositions made by them, which proves that ifi that quarter, there' exitt* another army of toyalifts. We fee, c'lerefore, one column of them directing its march towards the eoafts of Britanny, by the way of' L'Orierit, whilst another is marching towards the coAst of Lower Normandy, and bears down upon Cher bourg. AU this iifcredits those reports, which rcprefents the insurgents of La Vendee to beat their last gasp. Citizen Durand, adjutant-general of •the avmv in Italy, lias been appointed temporary commandant of Marseilles. December 23. Read a lettrr from general Ronfin, whertin he refuted the charges against him, contained in Phr'Hppeaux's report to the convention. Fouche, representative of the people at Lyons, announced the death of Gaillard, who, thinking himfelf abandonad by the Jacobins, haddeftroyed himfelf. Gaillard was the best friend of Chalier. On the lothof August he was the firft whomount ed to the affauk against the tyrant of the Thuilleries, and he was there severely wounded. Collot d'Herbois, after Fouche's letter had been read, caused all the members of the society to take an oath never to survive one of their brethren who (hould be at tacked, and then proceeded in the follow ing terms : " I came here with the fame hopes I entered the Convention. But the Con vention 1 found futrcunded by its enemies —a,nd you I found debating whether you i ought to approve the mcafiircs we had ta- , ken. You ceased for a moment to be strong, and the death of Gaillard was the 1 result of your weakness- , " 111-difpofcd people endeavor to alie nate your minds from the Convention 1 you have countenanced libels, which have 1 disunited you, and armed you against one ; another, and have accused the committee of publie fafety of having filed the blood i of Patriots. Old histories have been c f-arch<'d in order to establish a contrast be- t twee 11 times " loig'pSft," and that where- f n we live. They endeavor to mitigate : * * w. tue .revolutionary movements. Wlio can direct a thunder storm ?—AVell, such is , iiie revcriiioa. It' b flights mull pot ije pr.eckjc, Far be it fjorp us to have an idea L/f rnodeiit.i, Let ua remain Ja cobins, let fas rem?.!n mountaineers, and, save liberty." (Loud applaules.) A member applauded these proportions and again attacked Defmoulins for having been moved to pity by the fate ot the Cxirondilts ; he demanded the judgment of every one who lhould pity the fate of conspirators. LevafTeur accuftd Phillippc *tix of hav ing caused two deputies to vote for the ap peal to the people, and,having treated du ring a dinner, general* konhn and KofTg nol like criminals, and the Jacobins'like rogues. Philippeaux maintained the truth of a'l the facts contained in his report against Ronfin. He declared, that he always vo ted like a good mountaineer. He accus ed the generals in La Vendee of having filed the blood of 30,000 Republicans, & of having lavished the public money. Ronfin and RofTigno], he laid were con stantly plunged in pleasures, and never at the head of their armies, except on the 18th, when the former discovered the fe- . cret of ckufing an army of 43,000 to be cut to pieces by 3000 banditti, by placing his army, artillery and baggage in a valley ; inftcad of making himfelf mailer of the heights, from which the rebels launched the thunderbolts which destroyed our. troops. He attributed to their stupidity, that the banditti had passed the Loire, for which purpose they had given them two whole days. He denied the insolent speech against the Jacobins with which LevafTeur reproached him. Hebert, called upon by LevafTeur, as serted the truth of this reproach. The fitting became stormy. Danton demanded . the profoundeft calm> to hear this import- : ant difcufiion. Roberfpievre spoke to the fa (he purport. He excused the intentions of Philippeaux, but he Would have him prove his aiTertion, that the committee of public fafety, th'ro' mere obstinacy, had caused the deltruftion of 30,000. ' Citizens,' he added,' whence originate the commotions which agitate you within a few days ? You are surround ed here by the foreign powers. They have placed you between the Moderantifm which is borne down, and tht PctTlirem treachery of those men, who set all in con fufion. Phe taflics of our enemies contiit in endeavoring to divide 11s, and to make us destroy each other by our own hands." Roberfpierre then declared, that all the arrests complained of, had been decreed alter a long difculfion in the committees. He demanded, that the society should re ly on the Convention and the Mountain, and hear Philippeaux. Philippeaux said, that on his return from La Vendee, he had perceived in the committee of public fafety a repelling kind of .orms 5 that having not been able to get a hearing, he had published his com plaint in a pamphlet, of which he had no more copies printed tliau were neceflary for his colleagues. " Tbou lieft," exclaimed LevafTeur " thou haft even sent some copies to Samur and Angers." (Murmurs.) Philippeaux. " I will explain to you the reafbn of Levaffeur's wrath against me : I have caused a decree to be report ed against the principles of an accumula tion of farm-contra&s. This oepration has caused to him the loss of an income of 500 livres a year. (Violent murmurs.) Danton quoted the example of the Ro mans, who forgot their private quarrels when the enemy were at their gates : The enemy are also at our gates, and we are persecuting each other. Do all our altercations kill one single Pruflian ? (Loud applaufcs)—He demanded the efiablifh ment of a committee to terminate the quarreL Bouthon asked Philippeaux, whether, in his fbirl and confcienca, he really be lieved that there had been any treafbn committed in La Vendee I do," aii fwered Philippeaux. « Then I demand also a committee." This was decreed un der the loudest acclamations of applaufc. Collot.d' Herbois appeared at the bar, to undergo the purificatory scrutiny. He was received with the loudest buift <»f applause. Hebert moved, that while Collot was upon the Tribune, he should give an ac count of his operations at ,Lyous, and of the inftru&ions he might have in his pcf feffion refpefting General Ronfin. Collot d'Herbois—" I congratulate my- fclf, Citizens, that you have enabled me ro.unbofoui myfeif with franknefs in the toiJft of yob ! After two moQthsVbltncc from "aris, for the piirpofe of fulfilling th<' tailc with which yt.
