NATIONAL CONVENTION.
September 20.
Letourneur of la Manche—l am charged by
*he Committee of Public Welfare, to inform you
of the fuccefa of the Armies of the Sambre and
Meufe ; G.llet, the Representative of the People
' with that Army, writes word that all the divilions
of the Army of the Sanobre and.Meo.le, amouriting
■to near a Hundred J liouitiati ■aoot-'ptcd r=.
the Constitution on the held of battle. «
" Since the passage of the Rhine, our Army ;
has cantinued to march along the banks of that L
river. On the 28 th Frtiftidor, they passed the /
Sieg, and are now marching towards the Lahn ;
The enemy are flying before them, and dare not ;
venture on a general engagement. General Jour-'
dan gave the following account, to the Reprefen-;
tative, of the engagement which took place on the ■
preceding day .
" I informed you, in my Letter of yesterday,
of the attack which we directed against the rear of
the Enemy: our fuceefs has been complete ; after
a cannonading, and an engagement which laded f
some hours, our Cavalry decided the conre.t, by {
their vigorous charge on the Enemy's Cavalry and
Artillery. A thirteen pounder and a howitscr have
fallen into our hands. The enemy had a number
of killed and wounded, and we made many piifon-
ers. j
" General Le Febrr, who is employed in pur- (
suing the enemy, has not yet been able to give any
particulars. The rear of the enemy would have
been treated infinitely, worse, and their Artillery
would have entirely fallen into our power, if »ur j
Infantry could have aCted ; but the latter were ex
tremely fatigued from a march of near seven leagues, (
which they made in a very hot day.
(Signed) « JOURDAN."
2J Vendemiaire—Sept. 24. 1
Letourneur (de la Manche,) the reporter of ,
| the committee of th» public welfare, announced,
that the army of the? Rhine and Moselle, anxious , ,
to emulate the glory of their brethren of the army j ,
of the Sambre and the Meufe, in fubduingthe ene- j
my on the opposite banks of the Rhine, had effect
ed the passage of that river in the vicinity of Man
heim.
On/tie 20th of September, Manheim furrendtfr
ed by capitulation, to the victorious arms of the
French Republic. This acquisition was made
without the loss of a single man, or the difclsarge
of a single gun.
Letourneur read the articles of capitulation,
signed by General Pichegru, on the one part, and
by the governor of Manheim, and the minister of
the EleCtqr Palatine en the other.
Capitulation or IViANHEiK.
j. The French (hall be left in pofl'effirm of the
• City and Fortress of Manheim with alf the ammu
nition, magazines, amd artillery, until the conclufi
«• of a Peace, when they shall be restored in the
fame state to the Ele&or.
2. The Garrison shall march out with their arms
and baggage within 24 hours.
3. The Magidrates, and Miniders of Religion
shall not be interrupted in the exercise of their dif
ferent functions.
4. The Prifontrs of War shall be released on
both fides.
5. The Duke of Dtux-Ponts, and his
may either remain in the City, or quit it, as they
please.
The Palatinate shall be considered as a Neu
tral Country, and, as such, (hall neither be subjeCt
& to contributions nor reqmfirions. But thnt part of
the Palatinate, which was reduced by the Army of
the Sambre and Meufe, (hail not be comprised in
the exemption accorded by this Article.
6000 Quintals of wheat, 400 iacksof oats, and
200 pieces of artillery, with a proportionate quan
tity of ammunition, were found in Manheim.
Merlin of Donai, in the name of tile Committee
of Public Welfare, made a Report en the Conquer'
ed Countries, and particularly on Btlgui and the
Country of Liege; he declared that it would be
unworthy of the French Nation to deliver up to
the vengeance of their ancient Tyrants, a Matiwn to
whom they had promised Liberty. He thought
tlut the intered of the Republic accorded, in this
iudance, with the engagements it had contracted.
" It is necessary (said he) that we should not fuf
fer Atidria to be too near our Frontiers, and to
kept those who so long have been our Enemies, at
a didarice from our Territories. It is of the grcat
ed importance to us to multiply our means of com
merce and navigation, and not to separate ourselves
from Holland, where England will not cease to car
ry on its numerous intrigues and confpivacies, in
order to conquer that CAintry, with the view to
redofe its ancient despotism.

WASHINGTON, Commander, dill
lier voyage with fafety ahd fuceefs. For some tirre
pad a gang of land lubbers, who were entered on
board as ordinary Teamen, have been fright*r.c4 at
some flocks of Mother Carey's chickens, which
h?.ve hovered about t'lefiiip, and have been contin
ually bawling out Rods, Rocks a bead—look out
for breakers, and other outcries equally as vociferous
—Theoldfeaman at the bows, whose duty it is to
con, has seen nothing of the yefe, and the seamen
in the chatos continually cry, no foundings. But
notwithdanding these, and the Capt. always at the

Rocks and Breakers when on deck ; and wbsa be>

it Aurora, received bv the last mail,
)f contains further abuse of the President, the late
if Secretary, and the present Secretary of the Trea
i) fury.
It is evident that the for s of faCtian and anarchy
d are collc-Cting their whole force, in order to makt
1- bne defpciate effort to overthrow the present go
vernment of our country. No pains are spared, no
re falfehoods untold, no fuggeitions (not even the
r - moll vile which total depiavity can engender) are
ic with-held, to endeavor to leflen the confidence of
>e the people in WASHINGTON. 0:;e of Bache's
o wiiteie insinuates that there is room for suspicion
:o that the President took care to advance his pecuni
it aty intered, while at the head of his fellow soldiers
is fighting in defence of America. The time cannot
d. be far rtillant, when those who are endeavouring
f. to level to the fame standard of baseness with them
o selves men wl»o enjoy the confidence of the great
it majori.y of the people, will either produce the
t- sway of prevalent villainy, «r place the anarchists
1- and diforganizers in a situation in which they
will,experience " a fearful looking for of the fiery
r- indignation and vengeance" of America—and not
n only a looking for, but the,hand of judice, with
o all its rigours, must light upon their guilty heads.
