NATIONAL CONVENTION

Sitting of the 8th day of the 3d decade of the 2d year of the Republic.

The Minister at War sent the following letter from General Doppet:

"On our arrival, our first care was the appointment of a military tribunal or commission; and several chiefs have been shot. You write to me to take proper precautions to prevent the rebels from making their escape. They are all either destroyed or imprisoned: This operation has wonderfully succeeded."

(Signed)

"DOPPET."

The Citizens and Citizenesses of Tartas, in the Department of Landes, have sent to the administration of that department, to be distributed to their brethren in arms on the frontiers of the Pyrenees—shirts, pantaloons, some linen, 33 pairs of stockings, some handkerchiefs, and 28 pairs of shoes. Honorable mention.

Several popular societies have written to the Convention, congratulating them on their decree which fixes the price on all commodities of first necessity, and inviting them to continue at their post.

The popular society of Provence, return their thanks to the Mountain, for having procured them an entire Liberty; they express their gratitude to the brave Parisians who have destroyed the triple aristocracy of the rich, nobles, and priests.
