DEFEAT"OF"THE INDIANS.

When Roberfpierre wai arrested on the
z,:h, he was conduced to the Committee
of Surveillance. In the might a number
of confpiriters furiounded it, entered it by
force, and set hira at liberty ; they atten
ded him to the Commune, who railed the
itandard of rebellion against t_ Conven
tion, which had continued together all
night. Twelve of her deputies were fen<
to the National Guards, to whom C^ot d'
Herbsts said, —" Go ye,and,let not the fun
be risen again before th) conspirators are
given op to the national vengeance." At
3 o'clock, A. M. the Deputies returned
to the Convention triumphant, having ta
ken, with them, at the Hotel of the Com
mune, a fcjl lately engraved, paring

fafed to fee R aurspierr e, who was
brought there on a barrow ; a little while
after, every department, and fettion of
Paris, entered to felicitate,the Convention.
Several emifftries of this new Cromwell,
were declared out-Jawed, and on the zß;h,
in the evening, in the midst of the accla

The 48 seasons united themfetves to the
Convention—the whole people demanded
a permanent Convention.
The Convention has received a great

occaioned by this new Revolution. Tne
