Extract of a letter dated New-York, July 21, 1783.
" This inflant the Mercury packet is arrived, and
admiral Digby has sent me an assurance that the defi
nitive treaty is in his possession, and (hall be sent to
me presently. The day appointed in England for the
evacuation of New-York, Was this very 21st July.'l
There are other accounts in town which confirm the
above, but mention no further particulars. —A gen
tleman who arrived last night in the flage from New-
York, which he left oh Tuesday at noorf, assures us that
he had ften the newfpa per of that morning, but it did
not contain the Definitive Treaty. He fays it had ar
rived, but was not published when he came away,
Tuesday arrived here the brig Two Friends, captain
Stevenfoe, from London and Madeira, who on his pas
sage, the 6rf linfant, in la\ 25. 27: long. 59 : spoke
the (hip Hibernia, captain Scallion, from th : s port
for Cape Francois, all well.
E<t;aß of a letter from Charleftown, South Carolina
dated July it, 1783.
" As for news, I have none scarce; daily arrivals
from all parts, and bringing with them those daflardly,
wretches who forfook us at the commencement of our
glorious struggle, and joined those infernals composing
the Bririfh army ; but I am happy to inform you, that
notwithflanding all the aHs which have been passed by
our legislature to receive them, the (offering people of
this slate are now routing them, as you will observe
by the lad paper. The friends of freedom, who have
fuffered, assembled last evening, and turned out of the
city, a certain Hugh Rose, who had formerly taken a
Brjtifh commission: several others equally obnoxious,
are hourly fought after, and a meeting of the inhabi
tants is called. This I can assure you, they are deter
mined never to fuffer the traitors and cowards to return
and enjoy the blessings cf peace among us.
" I (hall always lament to fee an, riot in this slate;
but those wretches are now arrived to that infamous
pitch of impudence, that we are compelled to bring
them to their senses."
Accounts were on Monday last received from Balti
more, which mention, that a vessel is arrived there from
Hamburg, which brought advices of two Dutch ships
having been taken in the English channel by Bri
tish cruisers, in consequence of which a Dutch fleet
had put to sea, and it was feared that the consequences
would be serious. How far this agrees with the wel
come tidings received yesterday from New-York, our
eaders will judge, and time determine.

Mr. WILLIS,
IWAS sorry to fee in your paper, a letter fail to be
written by Mr. Laurens, evidently calculated to
lessen the charaaer of that exemplary patriot. —When
in Fludger-Rreet, Wefiminfier, October, 1774, hefore
faw that torpitude of national virtue which took place
in 1779, 'poke of it to a friend belonging to South-Ca
rolina, and then added, “ nevertheless I will go and
rifque all." His conduct in and out of Congrefa was uni
form and spirited. His confinement in the Tower, with
all its alarming interesting appendages, though highly
injurious to hi; health and hazardous to his life did
not move him from his fledfaftnefe to the American
fa "' e ; J^V' ^^ ^^er 29th and goth, he
Jojned Mr. Adams in telling the British; negocatprs,
tnat they never would put their hands to any articles,
, an express acknowledgment of our rights to
'"deed he appeared deeply impressed with
of his foo, but tthe venerable hero thanked God,
that he had such a foo, one who was willing to lose his
"' e cau ' e of bis country. Your readers will be
likely to believe with me, that the letter was a fiction
to aufwer feme fpecial'purpofe. Your's,
A Lover of Truth.
