The secret commission, with which
two members of the committee of

to relate to negociations for peace with
the court of Madrid.

present, 489 voted for it, uncondi

given over to the tribunal. —[Later

Convention Triumphant.
Notwithstanding the decree of the
Convention, by which the fittings of
the Jacobins have been provisionally
suspended, several members of that
society, armed with cutlasses, pistols,
poignards, assembled in the club room
the fame night, when Carrier's arrest
had been decreed. A numerous mob
colledted at the Thuillerie,; having
been informed of it, marched thither,
surrounded the room, and cried cut —
Down with the Jacobins —down with
the proteftora of Carrier, the drown
ers, the poison-mongers—down with
the knighwof the guillotine !—Long
live liberty and justice !—Long live
the people and their Representatives !
-—The mob, however, refrained from
ads of violence ; but the room was
surrounded by a detachment of horse
and foot. At three in the morning
appeared some commissaries, appoint
ed by the committees who turned
out the assembled Jacobins, put the
tea! on the papers of the society, lock
ed the doors, and carried the keys to
the committees^ In the fitting of the
12th, the Convention approved by a
solemn decree the conduft of the
committees, and ordered copies of the
decree to be sent to the popular fociv
eties, and the armies.
NATIONAL CONVENTION.
The popular society of Chartres,
congratulated the Convention on the
decree for (hutting up the Jacobin
club. It is not fufficient, the society
stated, to dissolve the Jacobins, un
less you prevent their revival in other
societies. You must also forbid oth
er popular societies from possessing
public functions. We cannot at the
fame time be legislator and people—
judge and party. [Applaufes,]
The Prefidert—" The majesty of
the people, like a wave which drowns
vile reptiles, has dispersed its enemies.
|The Convention knows, how to re-.
"press afethofe who take the names of
lions, leopards and tygers —They will
have only men."

The decree of accusation against
Carrier, and the (hutting up of the
club of the Jacobins, have given e
qual fatirfadion ; because we hope
these meifures will put a flop to the
numberless scenes of blood and mur

ensure tranquility and domestic peace,

Surrender of ^arfaw.
Letters from Warsaw mention some
further particulars refpeaing the ca
pitulation of that place to the Ruf
fians. It appears that previous there
to, the king of Poland wrote to Geo.
> Suwarow, and intreated him to spare
the .capital, as it would surrender at
discretion, and begged for fafety of
person and property. Gen. Streator
immediately dictated some article, of
capitulation; to the following, purport
—Art. I. To lay down immediately
all arms. 2. To put all the atrifay
and stores in one place? 3. To fee all
•the prisoners and hostages immediate,
ly at liberty. 4 To restore witfait
delay, the lawful co hftitution. 5. To
repair immediately the bridge for the
Ruffian troops co enter the city. 6.
Gen. Suwarow promises, on his part,
fafety to the king's sacred perlon. 7.
Safety co the persons and property of
the inhabitants. 8. A total oblivion
of all that had happened.
The magistrates of Warsaw imme
diately published this capitulation, &
requested the inhabitants 'to accede to
the terms proposed.

Letter from the Representatives of the People with
the Arm, of the Weftern Pyrenees.
Bayonne, Nov. 27.
" Dear Colleagues,
" Fatiguing pofirions, from the na
ture of the mountains, rendered still
more so by the continual rains and
snows, have made the Spaniards think
that they might harrafs the most ex
posed divisions of our army with im
punity ; but it was not so, and the
Spaniards have been beaten as usual.
On the 24th, General Marbot's divi
sion was attacked. The advantages
were at firft of little importance, but
at length our troops advanced irregu
larly into the country, and took fa
vourable positions. At Olave, how
ever, their cartridges being exhausted,
the enemy returned to the charge with
superior forces. The French division
having nothing but their bayonets to
defend themlelves with, charged,
broke through the enemy's columns,
routed their cavalry, killed more than
a thousand men, and put all the rest
to flight.

we must wait for our communications

Sunday night advices from Portsmouth by
express state, that the utmost exertions are
making throughout the dockyard, ordnance,

Notwithstanding the scantiness of wind, and
haziness of the weather, the Prince of Wales
of 98 guns, and the Hector of 74 guns, went
out of harbour on Saturday, at two o'clock
P. M. and joined the ships at Spithead, all
of which are expected to get under weigh in
the course of two or three days, to join the
Plymouth division off Torbay, and then pro
ceed with the valuable convoys new lying
there, 50 leagues to the westward of Scilly.
The Plymouth squadron will be ten (hips;
so that the channel fleet, on this immediate
cruise, will amount to at least 28 line of bat

are fix three deckers, a force fufficient to re
sist any number which the enemy can oppose
to it.

Extrafi of a letter dated, Holland, Dec. 25, bro't
over by the Mail yesterday.
“ The Dutch have certainly been endeavor
ing to negociate a separate peace with the
French, for which purpose they sent a person
to Paris, who, hoteever, was not fuccefsful
till very lately. On the morning of the 17th
the Prince Stadtholder received a courier,
informing him, that the Convention were
disposed to enter into a negociation of peace
with this country, and that two deputies
should be immediately sent to Paris for that
purpose. The Stadtholder diredly laid the
business before the States General, who ap
pointed M. Brantzen, formerly ambassador
at Paris, and M. Repelaar, Burgomaster of
Dordt, who were to set off firft for Boisleduc,
where two French commiflioners are arrived,
with whom, no doubt, the business will be
partly entered into."
, The French have lignified to the Dutch,
that they are willing to treat for Peace with
all the powers at war, on the basis of thefa
tu quo previous to the war. Our court has
consented to the Dutch making a separate
treaty.
