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. Potion, in a speech to the
Convention, inform* them of a protest of the
ci-devant King against all the a6U and proceed
ings of the National Assembly, which he had
signed—a Hedging that he had not been in a state
of freedom to approve or not to approve those
a£>s and proceedings—This protest had been
•. sent to several of the courts, particularly thai of
liruiTclU.— G neral Paoli is goi«g on an expedi
tion against Sardinia.
By accounts published of the votes for
Vice President of the United States, it ap
pears, that exclusive of Kentucky—the num
bers are for Mr. Adams 77 —Mr. Clinton 50
—Mr. Burr I ; difference fev. Mr. Adams 26.
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.
