CHAR LESTOW N, (South-Carolina) July 12.
Thursday evening a considerable number of the peo
ple assembled for the purpose of pumping persons who
were thought obnoxious to the date, and four or five
underwent that discipline : but it being considered that
such proceedings were disgraceful to good government ;
that ill irrpreffions may be trade on the minds of the
numerous sot eigners amongst us, prejudicial of our ri
ling commerce ; that in any case complained of, a le
gal remedy is at hand ; amt knowing the extreme with
of the executive to adminifler equal justice—the honor
able the president of the (enate, and the honorable the
speaker ofthe house of representatives, with such mem
bers of both as are in town, yesterday waited on his
excellency the governor with an offer of their support
in any pieafure he might adopt for the preservation of
the dignity of government, and the peace of the city.
Accordingly, yesterday afternoon the following pro
clamation was made in different parts of the town by
Mr. Sheriff Stevens ; after which the honorable privy
council, with an attention to the peace of the city
that does them great honor, intermixed with a number
of persons yesterday evening who were assembling, and
by soothing and remonflrating, enforced such atten
tion to the proclamation, as reflored perfect order and
quiet in the city.
Tumult is the last resource of a defpondfog people
under a subverted government— where their just com
plaints are the fubjea of mockery and when themselves
or their dearest interefl, are treated with negleft.

Governor and Commander in Chief in and over the
fa id State.
A PROCLAMATION.
WHEREAS from a certain Thomas Barron's (a
British 'object) imprudently and grossly insult
ing a citizen as he was passing by on Tuesday
evening last, a f ay, (as well between them as others)
tnfued, which, it seems, has occasioned irregular af
feroblages of persons the two succeeding evenings, to
the great interruption of the good order and quiet of
the town, and if not checked, may be repeated, and in
the end prove of very serious consequences.
To put a flop to so great a disgrace to any community,
firiking at once at the root of all good gorernm^nt and
order, f have thought proper, by and with the advice
and confett of the privy council, to issue this my pro
clamation, to inform al! Grangers as well as <1 iz-nc,
so highly offending against the laws of the flare in fu
ture, that they shall be prosecuted with the utmost ri
gor o the law in such cases ; and to exhort the judges,
foilices, peace-officers, and all good citizens to be aid
ing and af^ fling in suppressing and difeouraging a con
duct of such alarming tendency.
Given under my hand, and the great fed of the
hate, at Charleftown, this iith day of July,
one thousand seven hundred and eighty-three,
and in the eighth year of the independence of
the United States of America.
BENJAMIN GUERARD.

GOD SAVE THE STATE.
A number of gentlemen, enemies to anarchy and
confufion, and wishing to fee grievances legally redreff
td, met on Thursday evening, and came to a refolu
tian of assembling the citizens in a conßitutional way.
Accordingly, for that purpose, the following notice was
yesterday given:
'' " e v "" a 'i°?' °f the contrail made by the Bri
tish merchants with the late governor Mathews, and
the conduct of some persons since arrived, forebodes
the interruption of that tranquility the citizens of this
pate have a right to expert; and therefore to prevent
further disagreeable coafequences, the solid defenders
cf this Hate and its true citizens are requeued to meet
at the Exchange on Monday next at ten o'clock in the
morning, then and there to form such resolutions as
citizens have a right to adopt, and to make such re
roonffrances to the executive of this slate, as their for
mer fuff, rings and present feelings lead them to de
mand."
