A FTER four o'clock, all the mem^
A beta of the Committee of Public

Trelibard, the Reporter of the Com.
feitttee immediately afeended the Tri
bune. He began by reading a letter
from the Reprefentarives of the People
with the army of the Weftern Pyrenees,
dated from Vittoria go Mondor [Joly
0 18J It flared that the French had taken
poff-ffion of that place after a forced
march, which difconcertei the enemy
and forced them to divide their forces.
" But" continued Trelihaid " I do
wrong in making use <f the term ene
my.——Spain isno longer our enemy.
It is not therefore for victories you are
a indebted to our brethren in arms; you
are indebted to them for peace.
The Committee of Public Safety an
nounces to the convention of the French
, Republic that Peace is concluded with
Spain. We have thus one foe left and
One friend more. (The applause wi h
which this intelligence was received
acontinued for nearly a quarter of an
hour.) I (hall now proceed to read to
you

July 22.
It was moved, that this important
treaty fhn u !d be printed, and sent to
all the departments and the armies.
Tallien flipper ed the motion, and
observed, that it w.s so much the more
neceffarf, because :h e difaffi&d were
invariably in the habit of denying or
doubting the successes announced in the
tribune of the Convention. He said
afo, that the Convention could not a
dopt too harsh means to repuf, the ill
intentioned, and to prevent the revival
of every fptcies of tyranny and royal
ifm —The motion was agreed to.

JULY 27.
The General in chief of the Wettern
Armies, flattens to communicate to his
, fellow-citizens, and brave companions,
Ithe news we have just received.
To Citizen Cauclaux, the Gen. in chief of
the Mfern Army.
" Long live the Republic 1 Brave
General ! we h,ve taken Quiberon. 5
or 6 thousand are made prisoners, in
,eluding women and children ; 70,000
(land of arms ; all the artillery , • all the
; artillery; and an immense quantity of
provisions, such as wheat, rice, bread,
ftour, and much more isin our hands.
Benthicvre fort has been surprised in
the night pf the 21st and lad, and we
have loft very few men; The Chouans
laid down their arms in the beginning
of the affair. This caused the Emi
grants to lose courage. The Bishop of
, Dol,.his grand vicar, and a nun have
been taken ; bur very few chiefs have
escaped. HerviMe is one of those 'who

The Brigands and Rpyalifh, will no
longer darken the fun ot Liberty, in

Emigrants have been driven from
Quiberon, they have embarked this
morning, pursued by the Republican
bayonet, from post 4 pel, to & e x-
treetity of the Peninsula, where an Eng°
liih frigate has received them, but the
joy I feel, ciufes me to pass over all the
circumstances, to come to speak a
little of the manner, in which this busi
ness has been performed, so advantage
ous to the Republic, Yesterday a can
nonade was heard near Sclifle; but we
are as yet ignorant of the object ; the
Reprefenta rives of the people, accom
paned the General in Chief to a gene
ral^view of the army, in the night.
This morning art o'clock, the Cot
umns were put in motion, without
knowing where they were to go; at
half patt 5, two Columns were difeov
ered at the fame rime, one on each fide
of the sea before Fort Sanfculote, form
erly Pinthievrr. The attack began,
that of the left met with r< Pittance, and
was retarded a ihort time ; this continu
ed all the night, hindred the army from
marching, and the powder being too
wet,we could not use it. We therefore
took our bayonets, and at half pad four,
Vidory was declared, the fort ceased
from tiring and is in the hands of the
Republican^. The Emigrants ran a
gainit one another in the gre,uft con
tusion, to the extremity of the Penin
sula, where the English boats received
them under the protection of the fire ot
a frifoe. I ought to observe that the
wind ^as very favourable in the night,
it ble, NyN. W, which prevented the
tovurtt ^dft<wmdi6& ch^ &i,"
they have not been able to fire once.
It appears as if the Republican mind
had concerted with the Supreme Being.
Our lofi is very foall, not more than
10 or if killed. Our wounded are 300,
among them is the brave Cota, I have
been to the fort, where I have feed a
large number of women, children and
French deferred : They are so numerous
khat it is impossible to enumerate them.'
I ought also tp add, that the deserters
have very much favored our late suc
cess ; two of them guarded the col
umns; others cried to our Frenchmen,
" We have laid down our arms," and
surrendered themselves with that for
wardoefs which proves the fatisfaaion
they felt at the approach of Liberty.
The English Admiral was obliged to
remain a tranquil fpeftator of the vido
ry of the Republican array. I ought
to render flattering justice to the gene
rdfity of the Republican soldiers who
were unable to bear arms, and have out
them under the sword of the law. The
Emigrants were far from wanting in
Quiberon. We have found magazines
ot all kinds, extraordinarily well sup.
plied with meat, bread, wine, sum,
brandy, ammunition, mufleets, pi ftols,
;powder, &c. common clothes for .the
^Emigrants, vests, &c.
