The anceHors of Gen. Pinckney for three
generations (as well as himfelf) were natives of
South Carolina. His father was Chief Judice
of the Colony of Carolina, and a member of the
King's Council. Gem. Pinckney was born some
time in the year 1746. He was educated at
the University of Oxford in England ; —where
he gave early and refpedtable proofs of fcholxr
thip and talents. After finishing his claffieal
education, he commenced, and prosecuted the
Budy of the law at the Temple. He then pass
ed a year at the University of Angers, in France
and made the tour of Europe before his return
to his native state. The great length of time
which he had spent in accorrplifhing himfelf as
a fchobr, and lawyer, at the fifft feminarics of
Europe, enabled him to commence the practice
of law at the bar of Sou'h- Carolina with uni
versal eclut, With industry equal to his talents,
his reputation and emoluments continued to in
crease until the commencement of the revolu
tionary contest.
The ardent and patriotic mind of Yr, Pinck
ney, induced him to take an early and active
part in the proceedings of the General Assem
bly of South-Carolina, and his energetic char
a&er was highly instrumental in the adoption
of those decided measures which distinguished
that Legislature. He commanded the firft vol
unteer uniform corps that was raised at Charles
ton, and encouraged the embodying of inde
pendent companies throughout the state. When
these measures refultcd soon after in a<9ual hof
tiiity, Mr. Pinckney was appointed a Major in
the firft State Regiment, of which the present
Gen. Gadsden was Colonel commandant. He
was fhprtly after promoted to the command of
the firft regiment. After the defeat at Fort
Moultrie, in i7,6,ofthe British fleet under Sir
Peter Parker, and the army commanded by
Sir Henry Clinton, the project of making an
effective impression in the South seemed to
have been abandoned, and Col. P. believing that
quarter would not very shortly be the theatre
of a&ive war, solicited Gen. Wafbington's per
mission to leave his regiment, and repair when
ever there should be mod service to be seen and
performed. He was desired to join the Gene
ral's family and a&ed for some time as his Aid
de-Camp. He was in that charader at the
battles of Brandywine and Germantown.
B soon as it v;s known that the British
contemplated a second invasion of the Southern
States, Col. Pinckney repaired to his appropri
ate command, headed his regiment in the assault
on Savannah, and was distinguished in almcft
every important action fought in Carolina pre
viously to the fall of Charleston. When Charles
ton was a second time besieged, General Lin
coln (the commanding cfficerj feketed Col.
Pinckney as a fit officer to defend the import
ant pass of Tort Moultrie. The surrender of
Charleston gave him a prisoner to the British,
His ardour and zeal in the cause of indepen
dence had already made him peculiarly obnox
ious to them. Their refertment was however
Sharpened by a new provocation :— -Finding
that the British were endeavoring to raift am nog
the prisoners a regiment to fend to the Weft-
Indies, by rigorous usage in their confinement',
he visited the abodes of misery filled with bis
captive fellow soldiers, cheered their drfoon-
d tee, and dissuaded them from enliftirg in the
British service, by assurances of speedy relief.
The British on the difeovery of this measure
Caused Col. Pinckney to be clofcly confined a
bout fix miles from Charleston, and although
his only son lay extremely ill in the city, be
could not, for some time, obtain permission to
visit his family. The interference of a British
surgeon ultimately procured him that privilege
for a ft hours, and during that ffiort period
his son died. He was rot permitted to remain
until his interment, but remanded to his place
cf confinement immediately, and was not after
wards exchanged until near the Qdfe of the
war. The vindictive spirit of the Britiffi did
rot flop here :—They laid wade his beautiful
farm near Charleston, and burnt all the build
ings on it.
At the return of Peace, with a fortune en
tirely broken down by the form of war, he
was obliged again to have recourse to the pro
feffion of law for a fubfulence, end very fnort

CIRCUMSTANCES have combined to ren
der the name of Gen. Pinckney familiar to
the American People.—The two missions to
the French Republic, and his present fituatiOn
#sa candidate for the second office in our gov
ernment, have contributed to produce this ef
fect ; and although his public character and
services are fufficiently known to have distin
guished him among the authors of onr Revolu

the intimate knowledge of those qualities which
conspire to render him a character of peculiar
weight and interest is not so widely diffufed.
It is of importance that this information Should

SATURDAY, NOVEMBER 8, 1800.
The next important incident in the life of
General Pinckney, and that on which the fu
ture Historian of America will dwell with the
most pride and fatisfa&ion, is his embassy to
the French Republic. Previously to his appoint
ment to that embassy, he was often solicited by
Gen. Walbiogton to accept some federal ap
pointment. When Mr. Jiff rfon declared his
intention of resigning the office of Secretary of
State, it Was offered to Gen. Pinckney, but he
declined ;' and on the resignation of Judge Blair
or Johnson, (the writer does not recoiled with
certainty which) he was again solicited by Gen
eral Washington to accept a feat on the bench
of the Supreme Court, but again declined. On
the recal of Mr. Monroe from Paris, for mif
condu& in office, Gen. Washington (who knew
that measure would be a fruitful theme for
clamour) deemed it of importance to fele& a
citizen as his successor, who should unite splen
did talents and correa judgment with difere
tion and intrepidity of character ; it was also a
deferable circumstance that he should be from
one of the Southern States. —To General Pinck
ney, whom he had so often endeavored to al
lure to the firft offices in government, General
Washington again addrtffed himfelf in a style
which forbad refufal, and at the notice of three
days he embarked from Charleston, where by
his great and lucrative practice as a lawyer he
had received within the preceding year four
thousand guineas.
The hittory of this celebrated embassy is in
the recollection of every American. The treat
ment experienced by Gen. Pinckney, at Paris,
when the power and arrogance of the French
Republic were at their height, the personal
dangers which he braved while unprotected by
the Law of Nations, and abandoned by a profli
gate government to the regulations of their own
police against foreigners ; the failure of rhe firft
embassy, and his return to Holland, are too
well known to require that they should be par
ticularly dwelt upon. The nomination of the
second embassy, at the head of which Gen.
Pinckney was placed by Pufident Adams, with
the progress and ultimate failure of that attempt
to negociate, through the arrogance, profliga
cy and corruption of the French rulers, are Bill
better known, and will be remembered to the
honor of Gen. Pinckney as long as the grati
tude of a just and generous people (hall be the
reward of exalted virtue and eminent services.
—This reward he has in part had by the re
ception he experienced on his return to Ameri
ca; by the flattering approbation which his
conduct received from his own government ; —
and even by the praises extorted from his po
litical enemies.—ln a speech in the House of
Representatives, Mr. Giles (of Virginia) con
feffed that Gen. Pinckney had conduced him
felf (alluding to the firft embassy) “ with dif
cret ion and ability."
Previous to his return to America he had
been appointed a Major Gen. in the the newly
taifed army.—lmmediately on his arrival he re
paired to his command , where his attention
was directed with success to the improvement
of military discipline, until the army was dis
banded by a resolution of Congress at the lad
flion ( when he retired with cheerfulnefs to
In 1794 he was appointed Major General
and co/nmandef in Chief of the militia of South
Carolina, and by great activity and attention
very soon placed them on a refpe^able footing.
At the time of his appointment there were but
four troops of Uniformed horse in the State, and
when he left his co nmand, in cons, quence of
his appointment in the national army, the cav
alry amounted to 2800 in complete uniform.—
On all seasonable occasions he has unequivocal
ly expressed his opinion that the Militia is the
natural and efficient defence of this country,
and in the legiflitura of South Carolina contri
buted much to the formation and adoption of
the present Militia law of that State.
In the difeuffions which took place refpe&ing
the British treaty, General Pinckney took no
part. He was elected one of a committee for
the city of Charleston to remonstrate agaiaft it,
but declined ferVing, and never expressed any
opinion on its merits ; confining himfelf to the
business of his profcffion, and the difeharge of
his official duties.

in all the facial and domestic relations, but that

HONEST LAWYER.
in operation, than a new and powerful impulse
was given to public sentiment by the French
Revolution. The sentiments of General Pinck
ney were highly favourable to the principles
and conduct of the revolution down to a late
period, when their multiplied crimes and follies
had forfeited the confidence of all reasonable
men, and where the great body of the Ameri
can people withdrew fre/m it their admiration
and esteem.

will derive additional luflre and merit from the
patriotic motives which have produced them.—
Ashe has never been known to solicit any o
ther than the poll of danger, for which his intre
pid character peculiarly qualified him ; and in
the course of a life expoled by the nature of
his two profeflions to a personal altercation,
his courage was often tried, and never question
ed. High as his character flood at the bar of
S. Carolina for legal knowledge, displayed to
great advantage by a mafctiline, nervous, and
impressive oratory; he deserves flill higher
praise for Ais incorruptible integrity, and the
undeviatirg rectitude of his morel and proses-.
fional coriduft, by which he merited and eftab-
Pinckney will appear by this brief sketch, they
His disinterestedness and intrepidity have en
titled him to a character equally high as a sol
dier arid patriot. In the regiment that he com
manded at the commencement of the revolu
tion were a number of near relations, none of
whom were ever promoted Or preferred by him
on any e&fcty and in all his appointments
He continued thus in the gradual accumula
tion of a fortune which is now ample,until 1787$
when he was chosen one of the delegates of the
State of South-Carolina in the Federal Conven
tion, and Signed the conflitution which was the
refute of their deliberations.
Important as the public services of General
No sooner was this Constitution adopted and
he was careful to fetea those exclusively who
were distinguished by merit. A remarkable
instance of his attachmeht to his corred princi
ple occured in his promotion of a private soldier
of the name of Hamilton, whose daring valour,
heroic spirit and military enterprize seemed to
destine him to command—He was rapidly ad
vanced ; appointed to the command of a com
pany, and so 41 after a Brigade Major.
Dcfccnded from a line of piousanceftors, Gen
eral Pinckney inherits fromthem a belief in the
Christian faith, and a ftri4 observance of its du
ties and ceremonies. For many years previcus
to his miffiou to France he was a member of
the vestry of a congregation in Charleston.
Nothing can more Strongly uemouftrate the
solidity of his worth and fr taknts than the great
refpecl they have always commanded from his
political opponents, more cfpeoally in the date
where he resides —The democratic printer at
Charleston, in republiihing from the (Vniladel
phia) Aurora, always omits such passages as re
late to General Pinckney.
The political ground on which he now Hands
is that of a firm, but moderate Federal, —Un
ihackled by foreign influence or attachments,
and poff.ffing at the fame time a competent
knowledge of foreign politics and manners, de
rived from a&ual observation, he is anxious on
ly to support the character of a True American.
As the friend of Waffiington he reveres the me
mory of that great man, and Supports his princi
ples of policy and of administration.
The person and manners of Gen. P. are pe
culiarly formed to give dignity and effect to an
elevated public Situation.—Conversant with the
world from his earlit ft years, he has none of that|
affected gravity which has often made great
men ridiculous ; and though the franknefs of
his character leads him to be communicative
and unreserved by all Suhje&s (not excepting
politics) yet on all occasions " diferetion seems
to cover him with her mantle." Superior to
the artifice which affeds to make a feeret of.
state affairs, he is limited in the difeuffion of
political topics by no other consideration than
those of prudence and propriety.
To those who may be disposed to confider
this Sketch as the language of blind undiftin
guiffiing panegyric, it is a fufficient answer to
fay, that plain fads and sober reason will furn
ifh no other result than that which is here giv
en.—The friends of a great man fafely praise
him when his enemies have not dared to impeach
him.
THE President of the United States, classes
among the few surviving, fteady,tried pat
riots of this country. Bred in the old school
of politics, his principles are founded on the ex
perience of ages, and bid defiance to French
flippancies and modern crudities. With an ar
dent, just ambition, emanating from a capacious,
illuminated understanding, comnienfurate to
the grandeur and justice of his views, he began
his political career, in the band of intrepid and
prophetical spirits of 1 764. An era in which
was laid the foundation of that magnanimous
opposition, which in 1775 burst the (hackles of
America ; and gave to the winds the chartered
evidence of our colonial oppression. With that
superior genius which gives eloquence to de
bate and wisdom to decision, we trace him thro'
the eventful feenes that led to the conclusive e
dia which fixed our freedom. Always great,
and though sometimes alone, all weak and per
fonai motives were forgotten hi public energy
and the security of the (acred liberties of his ;
country. Those talents cannot be questionable
which nave the ordeal of adverse and fortunate
days ; improved by both and converting all ,
circumstances to the interest of his fellow citi-%
Zens, his writings exhibit the extent of his read
ing, and the propriety of his conclusions. Deep

Jitical fciencc; joined to the advantage of forty
years unceafmg engagement in the turbulent
and triumphant feenes both at home and in Eu

more conversant with the views, jealoulies, re
sources and intrigues of Great-Britain, France
and Holland, than any other American ; alike
aloof to Battery and vulgar ambition, is above !
all undue control—his foie object is the present I
freedom and independence of his country, and
its future glory. On this solid basis he has at
tempted to raise a monument of his honest fame
around which poftcrity will often gather to re
cord his honors and recite his virtues. The py
ramid is a lofty one,and worthy the laurels that
will adorn it.
His excellency Jonathan Trumbull Governor
of the STATE OF CONNECTICUT, has ap
pointed the 27th inst. as a day of solemn Tbanhf
giving and praife, throughout THAT STATE;
in his proclamation, he pathetically recommends
to minivers and people of every denomination,

tinuance to them, of the rich difpenfatipn of
the gospel of peace, with the gracious offers of
salvation through a glorious Redeemer; and
for all the manifeftations of his divine grace and

Morning, by CHARLES PEIRCE, Printer of the Laws &c. of
in New-Hampihire.
“ During fifteen years, Peter Legaux, of
Springfield, thirteen miles N. N. W. of Phila
delphia, has been engaged in cultivating vines ;
he propagates the kinds which in Fiance, pro
duces the champagne, Burgundy, and Bordeaux
wines ,• and that which, at the Cape of Good
Hope, affords the Constantia wine. In the year
1793, he had h:s firft vintage from the three
former, which are now naturalized to the Arne-
Can foil. Mr. Legaux declares it as the rcfult
of his experience, that the 40th degree of lati
tude N. of the Atlantic fide of America, in
point of vegetation and general temperature, is
like 48th or 49th in Europe. His vines have
so thriven and increased, that they have afford
ed not only liquors to drink, but at this time
they abound with (hoots for cutting to plant
and rear other Vineyards. For the purpose of
encouraging the cultivation of vines, the Legis
lature of Pennsylvania, on the 7th of March,
1800, piaffed an aft, appointing fifteen commis
sioners to procure fubferiptions for railing a
capital in (hares, to be applied to the furtherance
of this object. After one thousand (hares, are
fubferibed, the company is to be incorporated.
Each (hare is filed at twenty dollars. The
commissioners express their conviction that
the Americans have it in their power to suppl,
themselves with wine of their own growth
equal in strength and flavour, and superior in
wholesomeness and purity to any which they
can import. The means by which they are at
tempting to accompl Ih this are, firft by railing
in their own vineyards a constant supply of the
plants of the bell species of vines to be distribu
ted abundantly and on easy terms; throughout
the country. Secondly, by training a number
of vine dressers, who having acquired the neces
sary (kill, (hall be capable of attending to, and
teaching the cultivation of vines in any part of
the country to which they may be called ; and _
giving inftruaion in the arts of making wine,
brandy &nd vinegar,from the juice of the grape.'
At the fame time to offer to Almighty God,
through our great Mediator, eur Sincere and
humble supplication, for a continuance of his
holy protection, with the blessings of his kind
and merciful providence over our state and na
tion ; —that he would give us Skill to possess our
wife Conflitution of government, in union and
harmony ; and mercifully cause, that we may
continue to enjoy its benefits, under a wife and
virtuous adminiftratiol That he would gra
ciously pardon all our fins, and afford us the in
fluences of his Holy Spirit, to amend our lives,
and direct our general conduct. That HE would
defend and secure the interests of religion and
morals ; —blefs our institutions of learning and
ufeful knowledge; cause us to walk in the
paths of virtue and righteousness, that we may
be that happy people whose God is the Lord,
and whom the Lord our God may delight to
bless and preserve; give peace to conflicting
nations ; still the commotions of the world , —
afford his salvation to all mankind, —and fill the
earth with his grace and glory."
BERMUDA, AUG. X
HIS Excellency the Governor this day clos
ed the Session with a Speech, of which the
following is an extract :
“ Among the signs of the present times, it
cannot escape the notice of the mod fuperficial
observer, that a disposition has been excited and
nourished by France, every where dangerous,
and too often fatal to the repose even of the
happied communities. Whether we turn our
eyes to the East or to the Weft, to the North
or to the South, the evidence of this truth, with
all its baneful confcqucnces, prefects itfclf in
full deformity to our view. In some countries
this disposition is manifefted by Bidden and vio
lent Revolt, in others the poison works fiowly
and filcndy through the Body politic, until at
length it acquires a maturity which no art can
conquer ; in some it is vigorously promoted by
all the aids of infidelity ; in others it affefts to
breathe the benign spirit of the Gospel, prevert
ing with the mod impious Hypocrisy the mild
Doctrines of our blessed Redeemer, into an en
gine of crooked policy of the blackest nature.
In all parts of the world, however, where this
disposition has been cultivated, by its Fruit we
know it, Arrogance — Imperious assumption of
Authority—Falfehood—Perfidy--Implacability
Mockery of Law—lnfatiate Extortion—
Cruelty —Murder. Firm to its purpose, altho'
various in its means, no object is too mighty for
its ambition, none too minute for its revenge.
There are countries yet in the Dawn of these
Calamities. —There are countries that groan
under them in all the fire of meridian effulgence.
There arc countries whose very vitals being
thus exhausted, the curtain of night has closed
forever.„
« Such being a fain: (ketch of these times,
and such the evils with which Providence, in
his dispensation, is pleased to affiid the world,
it is becoming the Wisdom of an enlightened
Legislature steadily to bear them in remem
brance, and in guarding against their deftru&ive
effects, so to be imprefed with a conviction of
this important troth, that Liberty, whether
religious or civil, is not an immunity from res
traint, but the being refrained by no Law but
what in a greater degree conduces to the gene
ral welfare, thereby happily uniting the pro
gress of truth with the peace of focrety, the right
of private judgment, with the care of the public
fafety.” GEO. *EC±WITH.
