The commissioners from Lille,
ter dated the 27th of March, gave an ac
count that the city of Bruges had driven

M fir a t dciioiir.cej the t,hree hujidrfed

mittee of public faficty ?s conspirators,
who were entirely under the influence of
Brifibt, Goadet, and Vernio.
L.ft Sjpprce that Ma,rat wns

Cambaceres, in 4he of the com
mittee of public fafety, read a letter of
Dumoutier to the National Convention
q) the ; I2;th, find pnqthqr of tjie jfc&lh of
March, addrefled to Bournwnvijle, ,in
which he gave an account of the retreat
qf the body of tlve army tinder the com-
qf generals fJeujily and Ferrand,
who, by 'the delertion of a gfiat number
of volunteers, were .obliged to evacuate
the city of Mo'ns, duiing the night of the
capitulation of general Maraffe, military
co(t>uii»r)der,<)f risers, by .that ryt
thod, .though .xipt .the .ipqH
yet indifpeiffibly necefTaty,faved a ibody
of 10,000 men. He added, that cor
nels St. Clair and Thouvenpt were at
tracted without meflfis of defence —ftiac
our inilitar,y ,ca)ivoy.3 were detained at
Bruges—that he has sent forces in order
to liberate those convoys ; that he has
gjve,n orders to.gatpfon St. Omer, Cam
:brai,. and all the, places ~on the line from
Dunkirk to Divot, lu these letters Du
mourier defcribcs the army as in a (lare of
,the greatell difpider, and not haying pro
.vilipos for jivorc than ten days : He fays
that, the pretended succours of rae,n .from
the departments of the Noith confiit only
of old trjen and children, who, so far from
b?ijjg.ufeful, ferye only to incjeafe the
cpnfufion ajid consume theproyiiions. He
declares, that if order.and discipline be
not reftoted—that if fifty authorities,
Cficji, ijnore.abfurd th?n. the other, conti
nue to direct all, political and military o»
peiatioos, Fiance is loll; he decjajes,
that he, with a small number of bcave
men, would bury themselves under the
: their.rountry. He affirms, that
,it is imp>jflihle for him to .(top the. pro.
gref&ofthe enemy «yho, without amunng
themselves with siege«, may, with an ar
my of cavalry, lay waste and re
duce to afhei all that part of the couptiy
which is in the neighbourhood of
Dumourier concludes this melancholy
state of the representation of affairs with
bellowing eulogiums on the clemency and
modei atipn of thi Auftrians which were
ntitledto the .more praise, as from the
example of cruelty and outrage which the
French had exhibited, a very different
( cond.uft, on their part might have been
expe&ed. I fays he, have always affirm
ed, and I repeat, that a republic can on
ly be founded on virtue, and that free
dom can be maintained only by ord ve and
wisdom.
Cambaceres, after having read these
letters of L>umouritr, gave an account of
the proceedings of the commjffioners of
the executive power. Arrived at Valen
ciennes, they learned that general Du
mourier was at Touroav. Thej repair,
ed thither, and found him with Madame
Sillery, with Pamela, Egalite. and.'Va
