The royal gazette — [Charleston] S.C., 1782-01-09 00:00:00, page 3

TilE Martinique Gazette of theist of November last, has
the following paragraph:
« The schooner Defiance arrived here the 29th of last month
from the Spanish coast ; the brings very agreeable intelligence
for our allies. According to advices which had been received
by the Governour of the Carraccas the 6th of October, from
Lima and St. Fe, the famous Indian Joseph Gabriel Tupa
Amaro, who attempted to have himfelf proclaimed King of
Peru, had been taken and breaded, together with his whole
family, and the other Caciques his allies. The Colonel of the
Carthagena regiment was at St. Fe with 1500 men. Aconfi
derable number of the revolters to the had been hanged, and
thers were upon the point of sharing the fame fate, it is to be
hoped these ads of severity will make force impression upon the
winds of the difaffeCted, and that the fla ^ 1 of sedition will
be totally exlinghifhed. Those that had ahembled it Mer:da,
in the environs of the Caraccas and Cumana, were already if
perfed in the mountains. Thus, whatever the English may
fay,' we Shall not fee another Borton upon the Soutl^ra Con
tinent."
In the fame paper notice is given to the merchar?, -cat a
convoy would fail for France, about the end of Nov : ter.
The manner in which the Editor of-the Martinique Gazette
speaks of the ver, ''dear friends and great allies, ct n.rt he
very agreeable to the Republican Demagogues on th- Con
tinent.-.'
Accounts from the Caraccas received at the Havana in the
course of last month, are by no means so favourable to the
Spaniards, as these mentioned in.the Martinipc Gazett ; for
Don Galvez, instead of pursuing his plans of conquer, hr. row
full employment, to prevent our feeing " another Norton on
the Southern Continent."
The Spanish troops in Pensacola, have fuff red much from
sickness. The Indians have harrrffed them in such a Degree is
to have lately 1 illed or carried off federal of the Spanish cen
tries pefted in front of their works.
Last night a sloop from Providence with a cargo of Philadel
phia flour, &c. arrived here in a firort passage.
It is said, that in the course of the last three months, near
four thousand barrels of flour nave been landed in Nev.
Providence, from the American vessels taken by the Bahama
privateers, during that period.
DEATH. Mrs. Margaret Campbell, Widow c r Cape.
Archibald Campbell, and daughter of Robert lff.iip, ;nq.
She died greatly regretted by all who had the happiness of her
acquaintance.
For the R OYAL GAZETTE.
Messrs. Wells,
BY inferring the following Queries in your ufeful paper,
you will oblige A CONITA NT READER.
WAS this province compleatly conquered by the King's
arms in 1780?
Were the capital and publick records furreudered to 0,
King's troops; did the whole Back Country fobmk to the
British Government ; did Governour Rutledge when at C nr
den, after the surrender of Charleftown, disperse the kN
and desire them to flrift for themselves; did he immedkze
afterwards retire to Philadelphia?
Was there at that rime in this Province, any officer, civ ,
or military, anting under the authority of Congress, or :nc
State of South-Carolina?
Were the inhabitants now become Eirtifli fubjeCts, by the
laws of war and nations?
Was there a general exchange of prisoners last summer be
tween Lord Cornwallis and General Greene, wherein the .4i_
litia of this Province, anting under the King's authority, were
exchanged as prisoners of war for the American -militia of
equal rank?
Has the felf-cle&ed Governour Rutledge, since his return
to this Province, treated all the British militia who have fallen
into his hands as State Prisoners to the State of South-Carolina ?
If the Royal Militia of this province, when they fall into Mr.
Rutledge's hands, are State Prisoners, who are the British
Militia mentioned in the exchange betwixt Lord Cornwallis
and General Greene ?
If the Royal Militia, when taken prisoners, are treated as
State Prisoners, and the American M : litia when in the like
Situation are treated as prisoners of war, in all cases whatsoever,
even when they revoke again in fight of the foires of Charlef
town, is a Militia man fafe to serve under any banners but
those of the Rebel Confederacy ?
