The Citizens of Carlisle, happy in com mon, with the people of the United States, in the full enjoyment of liberty, secured by the inoft excellent form of government known to the world, are anxious that these invalu able blefliugs (hould be diffufed. Tliey have anticipated the rising lustre of freedom in France, of which they themselves have ex perienced its meridian blaze. Although they have deplored many recent tranfadtions in France they have always looked forward with hope to that goal of liberty to which French men must at length arrive.

NATIONAL CONVENTION. SESSIOf) OF SATURDAY OCTOBER 20. The Secretary read the following Letter from the Commissioners to the Army of the Centre, At the Camp of Vaudoncourt, Odt, 18, at ten o'clock in the evening, the First year of the French Republic. Citizens, THF.divifion of the army commanded by General Kellerman, arrived yesterday at the Camp of Vaudoncourt: General Valence, who commands the other divi fioW, advanced through the sorest of Mau l gienne, and puihed his van-guard a$ far as Pillon, which he found occupied by ; the enemy. He was obliged to bring up his cannon against this poit, and then he soon got master of it. The Duke of Brunfwick and General Kalkreuth sent in that day a Trumpeter with an Aid de Camp, to demand a per sonal conference with General Kellerman; they tefHfied a desire to accommodate matters, but General Kellerman adhering (tri&ly to the intentions of the national convention, answered that he could en ter into no conference whatever, as long as the Prufiian army ftiould be on the ter ritory of the French republic ; that the re-surrender of Longwy was a prelimina ry without which hg could enter into no engagements. The Duke of Brunfwick offered to evacuate Longwy and to give the place up on the 26. Kellerman judg ing that he wanted four days mote to ar rive with his army before that place on account of the roadS being broke so much insisted on having the place evacuated the 22d of this month. After this conference, General Valence was charged with the regulation of the articles of capitulation. We fend in closed an authenticated copy thereof, ?nd you will judge yourfelf of the advanta ges of this event. On the 22d at teu o'clock in the morning the enemy will • have quitted the territory of the Repub lic. General Kellerman will march up .-his whole army in battle array, and our commilfioners will thank them for their courage and perfeverence. We beg our 'fellow citizens to partake of the joy which such an event hascaufed us. See here then this contest of despotism against liberty soon determined ; and happy are we to have been the witnefles thereof, and to be charged to give you tbefe incerefting details. o . The commissioners of the national convention, Further accounts by the late arrival at this port -'from Dunkirk state—That Verdun and Longwy were evacuated pursuant to articles of capitula- tion by the Austrian and Pruflian arnvtcs, and immediately taken pofleflion of by the French forces—feveral other places were also abandoned by the invading armies, and others taken by the French after a faint resistance—so that the enemy were entirely driven out of Fiance—Not only so, but.the French armies had penetrated into the Geiman Territories, had taken Spires, Worms, Mayence and other places—Spires and Worms Jhad been laid under conti ibutions ; from the latter a million of ltvres had been ex- acted— The siege of Lisle was raised, after hav ing about zoo houses deftroved, and a uumber of the citizens and the garrison killed, s In ; Chamberry, a society had been formed of Ihe friends of equality—this focirty confilted of 1200. persons—they have addrefled the national convention —have abjured the Duke of Savoy, and swear thev will never again acknowledge a king, or submit to any maftcr whatever—The people of Fvance are exceedingly elated with their fuccefTes— and consider their lofles by the devastations and lieges of the enemy as nothing, when contrasted with ;he favorable turn tn their affairs, and the profpeft of a speedy and perma nent < ffabliftiment of their Liberties under the aufpiccs of a Free Republi^ —The papers we have fceo are to the 23d Oft. printed at Paris— thev contain no accounts of the prefcnt fituaiion of M. lahFavett*, nor of the ci-devant King and Queen ol France.—ln Verdun a considerable number of letters and papers were intercepted, throwing great light on the hitherto secret ma nceu\ res of the emigrants, and the other enemies of the revolution—M.

It is an old remark, li to preserve peace be prepared for war"—but modern patriots preach a contrary do&rine ; so in politics, they fay the way to preserve the u rights of is to throw down every barrier of law and justice that defends them. Tiiofe who are fmcere in inculcating thi ufefnlnefs of public lchools, as a means of dit fufi'ng knowledge and preferring liberty, win not stop at that point. They will feel the fame ardor to promote a free ftftify into pub lic measure", and a xhcap and icrt&in fciiculii tion of new/papers. It will be in vain that the people are, by education, enabled to judge of their rulers,-if they watch not over their do ings, or be not Jeafonably and fully informetl thereof. As we government, it teems, has gained ho less than Onr million by granting a chaiter worth no more than five million, would it not be well to take a hint from the plan of the bank, for difpofmg of the wclrcrn lands when ever peace and a completion of n\\ privatefaUi in that countfy will permit such a mealure to be adopted. The territory (which is as much the property of the public now, as the privi lege veiled in the bank was prior to the char ter) might be divided into 25,000 lots or shares, and a grant be made of 20,000-, free of all quit-rents and taxes, to an incorporated company of such generous fubferibers as will agree that the public may retain the remain ing J,OOO. The better to ensure success to the plan, by evincing the faith of those who adopt it in its profitablenefs, it should be un derstood that all members of the government be free both in law and decency, to take the lead in liberal fnbfcriptions for their private emolument. It will be further expedient, and tend to keep up a proper understanding between the company and the government* and to facilitate seasonable aids, benefits and encouragements to the former, if members of the government be not only interested as fub feribers, but a suitable number be alwavs in commiflron to manage and dircd. the affairs of the company. Onr fcrrbbiers caution the people to beware of the writers who recommend order and obe dience to the law. The writers who cry out knave and rogue, they fay, are the people's friends, and are to be confided in. What is the amount of this ?—A scribbler who finds any passion up, and falls in with it, is very clever. Wherever there is a local prejudice, he is very sincere, and shews himfelf a man <;f truth by cowting it and making the moll of it to obftru<st the law, and to discredit and ▼ilify the servants of the public. But the man that advises others to be calm, to for bear violence against the excise law, to think more favorably of government and of human nature than our mobbocrats fay they deserve, is held up as a fly seducer of the republican virtue of our country. The way to cheat our people, is not to oppose prejudice and paflion. The ambitious man who would de* ftroy liberty, must run with the multitude, and run them out of breath. Liberty must have no resting place—it must have no (bel ter. Thus exhausted and defeneelefs, it be comes an easy prey, and this is what our anarchy-men seem to be laboring to accom plish. We have a fret government; yet that will not please them. The next experiment seems to be either to have none at all, or one that is not free. SILLERY, Prieur, the PORToj PHILADELPHIA.
