k NATIONAL CONVENTION, OCT. 24.
Delmas, organ of the commit
tee of Public Safety, reported the
news bv the Telegrapher which
confirmed the intelligence an
nounced yesterday; and read the
following letter :
From Gillet, Reprefentalive of
■the Ptopic* •-
Dated, Head-Quarter*, before Maeftricht.
“ 1 hatttn to announce to you
chat Coblenz, the famous haunt
of the Emigrants, is in our poflek
lion. A division of the army of
the Sambre and Meuse, command
ed by Gen. Marscau made them
selves matters of it yefterday,—
Jour don, the commander ia chief,
has just communicated to me this
pleating intelligence. The enemy
were entrenched before the city;
they were beaten, and their re
doubts carried by the bayonet.—
The city was taken, and the ene
my obliged to pass thc Rhine. The
adtion cost the enemy a great num
ber of killed and prisoners.
(Signed) GILLET.
P. S, l also announce to you
the capture of Cleves, by the left
division of chat army—besides
which we now occupy Gueldrei.
Delmas. This is, without doubt,
the moment to reply to certain in'
dividuals, who out of these walls,
insinuate,. that' the government
wilhes our army to retreat on the
* frontiers, and to make peace. 1c
refuks from the news you have
just heard, that if that project has
been formed, that neither the ar
mies, nor those wlfo direct them,
are in the secret.
The Convention ordered the
news and the observations of
Delmas to be inserted in the bul
letin.
Delmas also read a letter from
the General of the army of the
Eastern Pyrennes, dated from La
Bldoane. He speaks of the en
thusiasm with which the army re
ceived the tri-coloured standard
presented by the Convention.—
The letter announced* that the
Spanilh General had endeavour*
ed} by every artifice, to conceal
from their armies-the capture of
Bellegrade; but the tri-coloored
flag Which waved on the walls, and
the difeharge of a$ cannon, left
them no room to doubt, (hat the
place was any loger wwd by

SIR,
IMPRESSED wiih the importance of
guarding the rights of the citizens of this
ft>te—of prfferving the peace cf iociety—
of lecuring thole immunities and privileges
which the laws arid conftituvon have con
-ler red—of extending prpuliion to individ
uals, where they may be harraffed by de
cilfeus fubveHiveof rights which this State
never conceded-—The Senate and House ot
Rcprefenta ives most fully accord with your
Excellency, in the expediency of conven
ing the Legifla ive beiore the time to whic h
they were adjourned-—They confider it
their duty, to prptell the citizens add rights
of tie Sta t; against every unconliitutional
interferrencc ; and this fubjxlt shill meet
wi fi their, candid and (borough ailculfiun,
as it relpelts the dignity and independance >
oi the State, and as it refpelts the rights '
and intereft^ of the citizens.
The. due administration of juftica in this
State, w»s. the great cause and objelt of
inftituvng the present government**Op
preMiOa on the one part, and delay on the
other, though not equally grievous, ought
co be remedied by every conftitutiooal
means in their power—and they feel great
ladsfadion that your Excellency did not
wait, though painful the talk, to notice
such delay 10 your addrels to the Legifia
tury.
They will attend to your Excellency s
recommendation of the propriety of af
left ng a tax at this time—convinced that
fulf and adequate provilion ihould be made
tor all the exigencies of the State.
The Legiflaiure will receive with plea
sure any communications your Excellency
;may make, refpelting the interests of tfac
State* or the welfate of the citizens—arid
while they feel with ifenfibility the plea*
sure of frequently recurring to the princi
ples of a constitution, founded on the .
Rights of Man, the firft interest of society,
however obfeured by most other govern
ments, they anticipate, with the highett
iatisfadion, your Excellency’s epneurttmee
