NATIONAL CONVENTION,
November 1.
Some citizens from the department of
Nievre, headed by the republican Chau
mette, procurator of the commons of Pa
ris, brought the result of their searches
in that department ; they produced a real
treasure, confiding of 17 boxes full of
gold and silver, both specie and plate, ayd
amounting to several millions.
The three citizens who came firft in,
bore two crofles, and a large croft enam
elled with vermillion.
The fourth brought a fun of gold,fur
mounted with a cap of liberty.
The fifth citizen brought in his hand a
gilt ducal coronet of filvcr. A member
demanded, and the ferjeants of the hall
were ordered to stamp upon it with their
feet. One of the ferjeants immediately
made it burst in pieces, by stamping up
on it ; upon which the convention and the
fpeftators all exclaimed, Vive la Repub
lic !
Louis demanded, that the large gdn
dolas or royal yatchs, and the state coach
es of the late court, be broke in pieces,
and fold.
Serjeant answered, that all tins was
now doing ; and that the commiflioners
entrusted with the sale of the royal effects,
had already disposed of the hearse in which
the corpse of the tyrants afed to be con
veyed to St. Dennis. —Order of the day.
Bairere, in the name of the committee
of public inftrufrion proposed a deci ree,
tending to ameliorate the law of the Max
imum, and to protect the supplies end
provisions. He displayed the martttuvres
of the farmers, who only seek to I'ncreafe
their fortnne ; of the ftockholde, s, who
he said, concerted meafnres with Pitt, to
reduce France by famine. He jhewe
thit the law of the Maximum had hither
to only been ufefiil to the rich. He pro
ved the necefiity ofdiminifhing and fixing
the price of manual labour.
He concluded by averting, that the
law of the maximum had hitherto only al
fefted the retailers, and proposed an m
demnification to them. He also proposed
a tariff, regulating the profirs of merchants
and retailers.—The report or Barrere was
dec^ecil.

been put on the queilion of war, by the

they agree to refifutiont founded on theory,
and which would undoubtedly throw our
