Extract of a letter from G. der,, oum Carblira?, to a
gentle can in this town, dated e^re^ „ ,782
“ I imagine by th: :bin- y or rxpe&ti.ms ar- oreat
with r^fprft tonews io our ,M. e r I have only-r^ in
formyou tha fc gener,l Gr ene's an y Bill remanqui
et at the widow Chares Elliot's pHntaTOn Sandy*hiil,
(thirty miles -from Charleftown ) The rhifh are all
in their works near the Quirt r-aou'e, -nd are dared to
venture farther. Colo eI Le ofte 1 harraffes them,
and even picks theni off at fyeir works. I suppose you
ha ?e heard of captain Campbel's b-ing killed in a fil
ly he made. All and every thin. seems favourable
and well for us. The ton arable John Mathews is ap
•pointed governor, and Hugh Rutledge Speaker the
assembly has fat, but it is imagined they will adjourn
in the course of a week the council is to be held here.
In confluence of governor Ru^edg's p-ocbm tion,
many most notorious cnaraders have come but, but
they are admitted to bail to receive reir trial when ci
vil law takes place. Mr Robert Quart cameotv, and
is greatly chagrined to think that : B w s not admit
ted to vote for an affem ly. Mr. Dart G Margault,
Garder, Drayrdn, Ja Weight, J W G th, and a
vast number besides are daily seeking pru^fton among
ms, notwithstanding Leslie's proclamation, full ofthreats
against those who have joined a second ufurpition. De
fertions are daily and great : 25 men wi a major
Cummins, came out 'he oth^ r evening togeneral Greene.
I have met along the road a vad mmy deferred f4di
ers who give us great hopes, for t!ey .ave received ho
reinforcement in Charleftown, and are coirtantly on
hard duty at the lines. We have here frefh intel igence
witch keeps usalive. we have just n^atd that general
W'yne has drove in all the out posts, and is now at Eh~-
neter in short, every th ng terms to wear a /leafing
profpeft,
“ Charleftowa is greatly alarmed, and it is the opi
nion that it must fill pretty soon, for at prefen they are
so elofely hemmed in that they cannot move from taeir
works. Balfour has failed for England."
We have the picture of informing the public, that
on Friday last the honourable assembly unanimously
voted their quota of supplies in specie, demanded by
the congress. This vote do s the higneft honour to
the state, and (hews 'hat her patriotism instead of be
ing impaired, has been improved by the war. The
chearfulnefs as well as unanimity with which this vote
was carried, may serve to shew Great-Brttaia And her
omiffaries in this country, that the Americans are no
leL willing to spend their treasure than they have been
to spill their blood in defence of their liberty and inde
pendence.
By a letter from South-Carolina we learn, that the
assembly of that state have voted a present of lands to
the amount of 10,000 guineas, to be given to general
Greene, as a mark of their gratitude for his eminent
services in that country.

"I am happy to inform you, that on theist inst.

to this place, of a number of traders and Indians go-

our immortal commander in Chief, must greatly en

kindled m toe bread of every A r,erican, and which it
wll not be in the power of time or acci ent to extio

<ellency, that from our conoefti m with this powerful
and wife monarch, we may exp^ft, with well ground
ed confidence, that our independence will be fhordy
established upon an immovable basis, nor need we har
bour a single fear of its dissolution.
An union which originat d from such liberal and ge
nerous motives, and which is founded on muual inter
efl that best cemertt of nations, mud and will continue.
Whether the series of losses, difaßers and defeats of the
year fete, will at length recover Britain from her deli
rium, time only can difcl fe ; but as misfortu e hi her
to instead of producing refleaion and prudence, has
operated to encreate her infinity, we agree in opinion
with your excellency, that it is probable the will not on
ly endeavour to keep possession of our capital, but
make another attempt to subjugate the country ; we
shall therefore immediately enter upon the prof cution
of the measures recommended by your excellency, as
necessary for its fafety. And being fully sensible how
much depends upon the result ofour deliberations, we
will endeavour to pr ceed in the weighty business with
frmnefs and temper, with vigour, unanimity anddif
patch.
By order of the house,
HUGH RUTLEDGE, Speaker.
Mr. Speaker and Gentlemen, .
I HEARTILY thank you for 'his very aTeftfonare
addrefs-Tho' I am tritely sensible, that your partia
lity ha^far overrated my fervire<, yet, I cannot but
regard the approbation of my country as an invaluable,
and t emoft acceptable reward.
Your proceeding on public business, in the manner
which yon have expreffe.J Cannot Li to give the great
est fafisfaaion, and I am persuaded, that the Rate will
derive many real advantages, and fubflantial benefits
from the wisdom oi your councils.
