Barrere —Doppet is to have the chief com

Cartaux, that of the Alps ; Duconner with the

Barrere read two letters from Strasbourg,
from St. Ju(t arid La Uafr, requiring the Con

they have taken, and from which they expert
the happiest effects.

the representatives of the people, on the gener

habitants of that town, which was become the
centre t( a new Vendee.
St Just and la Bass write from the army of
the Rhine, that they are busy in clearing the
corps of officers of improper per ions ; that the
number of patriots among them is very incon
siderable; and that a previous measure of this
nature would iiave sAved the lines of Weifiem

received a trumpet from the enemy, by which
they sent the f ;)lowing answer: " The French
Republic receives nothing fiom its enemies;
nor fends them any thing but lead bullets."

found hid in any part of that town, (hall be
