Head-Quarters at Bois-le-Duc, Decem ber 29, Citizen Representative, The Committee of Public Safety gave di rections to prosecute the campaign by taking Grave, the isle of Bommel, and the comple tion of the blockade of Breda. I have now to announce, that by the molt Angular good fortune, the whole has been accompliflied in one day. We are indebted to the rigour of the season for supplying the means of clear ing the barrier,, behind which the enemy Vrere entrenched,by freezing the rivers Waal and Meufe for a considerable extent, over which it would have been impoflible for us to comtruct bridges for want of boats. We leized the moment at which the ice was fuffi ciently strong to allow us to pass without dan ger to the troops; and on the morning of the 17th, notwithstanding the excessive cold, our army attacked the enemy for an extent of about twelve leagues, from Nimcgucn to I beyond the river Necker, and were asufual, victorious in every quarter. The right wing, extending frera Nimcgucn to Fort St. Andre, was em ployed in watehing the movements of the enemy, while the center made them felvcs matters of the isle of Bommel, and Langllraat, and the left forced the lines of Breda: the pafTage of the Meufe before the Isle of Bommel, was effected in three columns under the command of genetal Daendcls and citizen So&ifier, brigadier-general: citizens Crass and Mercier, commanders of battalions of the brigade of Lombards. The Crft received a flight wound. The dispositions were so well made and executed, that notwithstanding the formidable entrenchments with which the enemy had fortified the ditches and villages, the troops pafled the Meufe, took pofleffion of the different batteries of Bummel and of Fort St. Andre, with that rapidity and courage of which the army has afforded such numerous proofs ; and without having along with them a single piece of cannon, they took sixty from the enemy, several horfea, a quan tity of baggage, and about 600 prison ers. The number of prisoners would have been much more considerable, if the troops who were to make the attack at Fort St. Andre, had been able to come up at the hour appointed. The enemy effe&ed their retreat from the fort, leaving, however, behind them, all their artillery. f General Often, who was entrusted with the attack of Langftraat, com pletely succeeded, although he had with him only two battalions, the firft and second of the 176 th half brigade, and the fifth of the chafleuts infantry. They carried the forts and entrenchments of Derveren, Kapel and Wafpick, with .incredible ardor; took 30 pieces of can non, a quantity of ammunition, baggage and some prisoners. This attack was so much the more brilliant, as it was en tirely executed upon the ice of the in undations. General Boinrau, who, at the fame time, attacked the lines of Breda, was equally fuccefsful. He took from the enemy 18 pieces of artillery, a pair of colours, and the milwary chell of a re giment, with about 200 horses General Lemaire, who formed the attack of the left, was ordered to take the lines in the rear, by directing his operations against the polls of Ouden bofk and Sevenbergen, of which he ob tained pofleffion. He took about 600 prisoners, two pieces of cannon, a pair of colours, a quantity of baggage, and about 100 horses. We have gained in all, by the operations of this/fortunate day, about 120 pieces of artillery, 1,600 prisoners, a pair of colors,, and 300 horses. This victory was followed by the taking of Grave, which, on the fame d»y, capitulated to General Salm, who allowed the garrison to march out with the honors of war, but upon condition that they should afterwards be carried into France as prisoners. It is remark able, that, notwithstanding the terri ble fire kept up, for nearly a month, on ourtroops, who formed the blockadc, and the bombardment, we had only thirteen men killed and wounded. We found in the diftri&» of Bom mel and Langftraat, a considerable quantity of forage, of which we had begun to be in want. We are now completely masters of the course of the M«ufe, the navigation of which is in dispensable to supplying our army with provisions, on account of the impoflibi lity of procuring provisions by land car riage. After bestowing a merited eulogium upon 911 the troops I mu£t render par ticular justice to all the generals who commanded. They all contributed to the success of tfcp &*y, by their talents dijt anc! courage Generals Moreau and accompan'Vr! nW 10 rfec cwmiirtf# < Sauviac, had a iWe in forming t!«e dif- general fccUuty ; this | 8 Ua tiulh [ poiitions of the plan of attack : the leave it to the chiefs ui the caluninia latter forgot in the heat of adtion, as tors to invent stories, and ovcrwi he has forgotten during the whole the patriots with bale invedtives. of the campaign, that he had 101 l the " Claufel, I now call upon thee, to use of one of his legs : he ordered him- declare here in the face of the Conven ftlf to be dotldufted to the isle of Bom- tion whether thou art my denunciator mel, and seconded the ardor and courage or whether theie exi sin the eommit )f his companions in arms. tee of general security a fmgle proof Health and fraternity. contrary to what I just now "acknow PICHEGRU. ledged." Claufel wanted to aufuer but he parted to the order of the dav. The committee of legislation present ed the lift of the new Judges and Jurors of the Revolutionary Tribunal. Saladin reported from the commiiTion of twenty-one, appointed to enquire, whether or not there was ground for a decree of accusation againlt Collot D'- Herbois, ' Billaud Varennes, Banere and Vadier, that the commission had not received the necessary papers from the committee of public fatety. Andre Dumont said, that the com mittee had directed him to collect the papers for the commission ; that a diffi culty having arisen with refpeft to com municating the secret orders of the old committees of government, this had oc casioned some delay ; but that the com mittee of public fafe*ty having decided that the secret orders fliould he commu nicated to the commission, the papers would soon be read. Cimbon observed that since the Con vention had ordered a report lo be made on the means of diminiftiing the quan tity of affignats in circulation, a rumor had been circulated that it wan intended to do this by declaring a great part of the affignats waste paper. He moved that the Convention should contraditt this rumor by a formal decree, which After some debate was passed. On the 4th the committee of Public Safety communicated a letter from Porcher, commissioner in the depart ment of Loiret and the neighboring de partments, dating, that lince the sup pression of the maximum the markets were much more plentifully supplied than before, with but a very small rife in the price of corn. " I heard" ad ded he, " the day before my departure from Orleans, provisions and other com modities, which it was aliftolt impossi ble to obtain before, ciied publicly in the streets at a lower p. ice than that of the maximum." Breard, Marec, and Chazel, were ele&ed into the committee of public fafety, in the room of Merlin of Douai, Dclmas, and Fourcioy, who went out by rotation. Clauzel, Vardon, Rovere, and Gaff roy, wercele&ed into the committee of general fafety, in the room of Bourdon of Oife, Montmayon, Moriule, and Mathitu, who went out by rotation. On the sth the committees of public inftiufHon, finance, and public succor, in a long report, stated various isflances of the acquirements made by the deaf and dumb, and proposed the plan of a decree, which was adopted, for conti nuing and improving the e'khtifhmeiits for persons in this unfortunate iituation. NATIONAL CONVENTION. , DECEMBER 29. Armonville obtained liberty of speech in order to answer the denunciation of Clauzel, who had some days since declar ed at the Tribune, that the incendiary speech pronounced by Billaud Varennes at the Jacobins, had made such an imprefli on on the head of the deputy Armonville that passing accrofs the Thuilleries he be gan to cry out " we mutt still have a mil lion of heads ; not less than a million." Armonville, " On the fame day, you fttfpended the fittings of one of the po pular societies of Paris (the Jacobins): I happened to pass by a group of individu als alTembled iii the Thuilleries ; I saw no citizens in wooden (hoes among them ; none of them wore the honorable mark of industry; they were all of those men, who hid themselves in the moment of dan ger and now when the Republic is every where triumphant present themselves as faviourj of France, fight battles in Coffee houses make civic facrifices at splendid ta bles, condemn the measures the republic was saved by, draw out lifts of profcripti. on and hum continually in the ears of those energetical patriots, who are used to break l yg«s and crush lions but scorn to raise their arm against a fjvarm of vile infers The orator who harfangued th© group re presented all the Jacobins as rogues, blood drinkers and plunderers of the Republic ; and his worthy auditor aniwered at each sentence: " down with the Jacobins."

I told them that 1 called rogues all the intriguers and dilapidators, all engrossers of provisions and merchandizes, all those men who speculate on public misery and feed on the groans of the poor and that if their number amounted to a whole million, they wert all unworthy of being Re publicans.
