Extract of a letter from a refpcaable House i,
Cbarlfa S. C. oa. 23.
'• It is with the greatest pleafnre I can assure
you, that Mr. Adams and Gen. C. C. Pinckney
will have every vote in the state."
A resolution passed both Houfcs, requesting
his Excellency the Governor to issue 4 Procla
mation, offering rewards for apprehending and
bringing to justice, the oppofers of the laws in
the county of Hancock ; and for appropriating
jooo Dollars for that purpose.
The Senate this day, made choice of Silas
PirooN, ^fq. Major General of the 9th Divi
sion of the Militia of this Commonwealth.
[The concurrence of the House is referred to
the next feffion.]
SATURDAY, NOV. IJ.
A letter was received from the Hon. Jona
than Mason, Esq. declining his election as a
Senator to the Congress of the United States.
The two Branches then assembled in Con
vention, and proceeded to the choice of a Sena
tor in the room of the Hon. Jonathan Mason,
Esq. declined ; and the votes being taken it ap
peared that
JOHN CODMAN, Est. ^ dfo.
The Secretary then came, in with a Message
from his Excellency the Governor, and inform
ed the House, that it was his Excellency's plea
sure, by and with the advice and consent of the
Council, and at the request of the two houfe*,
to adjourn them to the third Wednesday in
January next/ They were adjourned accord
ingly.
Your Excellency, and the good citizens of
the state, may be affared that this House will
co-operate in all proper measures to deted and
punifli all such enormities already committed,
and to prevent, as far^s possible, the commis
sion of them in future :—For they are fully con
vinced with your Excellency, that indifference
on the part of the Government, will serve to
embolden the offenders, and to invite, by a
hope of impunity, the repetition of fimihr outra
ges.
The unusual improved state of the Militia,
which your Excellency has noticed, muff be
highly gratifying to every Friend to the Rights
and Dignity of our Country ; for with a Mili
tia thus trained, and animated with patriotic
and military ardor, America will not hesitate
to assert, or be unable to defend her national
rights, against any invader.
- The important object of a National Eledion
having been the sole occasion of the present ex
traordinary Scffion, and the habits and conve
nience of the citizens requiring a meeting of
the Legislature at a later season, we ffiall endea
vour to make the present Session as short, and
as little burdenfume to the People as possible.
While we learn with fatisfadion that tran
quillity generally prevails throughout the Com
monwealth, we receive with regret the painful
information, that in one County some mifguid
cd and deluded citizens have been guilty of vio
lent infractions of the peace of the Common
wealth, and have manifefted a spirit of refinance
to the Law.
May it please your Excellency,
THE Houle of Representatives concur with
your Excellency in the sentiment, that the ob
ject of their ptefent session is highly interesting,
not only to our immediate Constituents, but to
the whoje people of the United States, since
the welfare and prosperity of a Nation essenti
ally depend on the character of their Magis
trates ; and the wisdom with which their go
vernment is administered. Seriously impressed
with thjs sentiment, it shall be our zealous en
deavour to felea those who are to give their
fuffrages in this State, in the ensuing important
election, from the best informed citizens, and
who have afforded proofs of their attachment
to order and good government —And may that
wife and gracious Providence, which has hi
therto directed the Counsels, and prospered the
exertions of the American - People, overrule and
direct our deliberations upon this occasion for
the public good !
The Convention then proceeded to the elec
tion of a Senator for the Congress of the U.
States, in the room of the Hen. Mr. Goodhue,
resigned, when it appeared that.
The Hon. Jonathan Mason, Esq.
Were duly chosen.
It is matter of regret, that any of our fel
low-citizens should be so loft to a sense of their
duty and interest, as to set the power of Govern
ment at defiance, and oppofc their individual
strength to that of the Community. So far
as may depend on us, your Excellency may be
allured that proper means will be adopted to
suppress such pernicious evils.
We are gratified with the information, which
your Excellency has communicated with refped
$o the improved state of our Militia. Wefeel
confident, that so much dependence is to be
placed on their discipline, courage and patriot
ism, that their Country has more to fear from'
the arts, than from the arms of her enemies.
. THE SENATE'S ANSWER.
May it pkafe your Excellency,
IT having been generally understood, that
the objed of the Legislature, in assembling at
this season of the year, is the appointment of
Electors of President and Vice-President of the
United States, the Senate do not contemplate
engaging '" any other bnfinefs wifich can con
veniently be deferred to another session. And
sincerely do we accord with you in the prayer
that our Suffrages may be bellowed on the
friends of order and good Government, and that
the result may promote the bed interest of our
fountry.

Yesterday the body of a mail child was found
in a vault at the south-end of the town. A
jury was called, & we underhand, they agreed
that the negligence of the mother caused its
death. The mother, (^mulatto woman) has
been committed to prison.
A gang ofccon-dis, in the State ferifon of Nevs-

PHILADELPHIA, NOV. 6.
Never Was there a greater mistake commit
ted by the Federalists, than was evinced at the
Fate eleftion in this City. As it refpeds the
member for Congress it is a lamentable faft,
that a great number of men, proftfaly Federal,
voted for the Democratic Candidate, and anoth
er class, Bill more numerous did not vote at all
—Such temporifing is criminal, hiorc particu
larly at a time when all the energies of the Fac
tion were ctited. What hasbeen the consequence
of this cow Waly conduct ?—The answer will
be found by observing something very like a
French Cockade, already exhibited in the hats of
the exulting Jacobins.
CHARLESTON (S. If.) OCT. 8.
MR Charles Pinckney has admitted that
it was he who moved for the limitation
of Mr, Adams' residence as Minister in Lon
don to three years, in stead of 6 during pleafure,'
as had been usual ; but he fays he had no in
tcrefled motive. But several .writers fay, he
has been heard to express without reserve, a
strong deflie for a foreign mission. This Mr.
Pinckney, is the democratic Senator from South
Carolina, and not of the family of Thomas and
Charles Cotes worth ,inckn6y. Mr. Adams
evidently mistook them for the fame family.—
It undoubtedly mull have surprised him to
to know that a Pinckney limited his embassy
and that a Pinckney succeeded him with an un
limited commission —and fufpicidns were natur
ally created when he found the British Minister
particular in his enquiries about these very
Pinckneys, as be supposed. But they are dis
covered to be persons of different fentimepts.
Major Pinckney never fought the situation of
minister to the Court of Great Britain—and
did not know he was thought of for the office,
till the Secretary of State informed him of his
appointment. These are fa&s.
sept. 30. It is said that the French go
vernment were determined to consent to an ar
miflice, by the declaration made by Pruflia,
that the northern powers will not fee with a fa
vorable eye, the ulterior progress of the French;
and that if they continued to drive the Auftri
an.army back, Prussia would reinforce the cor
don which occupies the line of demarcation, with
60,000 men, and that another army of the fame
force would have orders to hold itfelf ready
to march.
In the year 1756 Maj. Orne reported, that
the town of Calcutta contained only 57 English
families ; that it was surrounded with junglcrs,
with but few spots of cultivated land ih the neigh
borhood. The report to the court of directors in
1798 —9, fays, there were at that time 4300
English houses, 2200 Portuguese, Armenians,
and other chriflians, and the suburbs and coun
try in a flare of cultivation.
PARIS, OCT. 3.
A Convention of Amity and Commerce, be
tween France and the United States of A
merica, was figged the day before yesterday.
(Official Article.)
" it was less necessary to revert to the pad
than to revive between the two nations ufeful
and honorable relations; the treaty has fulfill
ed this object. The French Miniflersconvinced
that the prosperity of America could not but add
to the prosperity of France, have been led par
ticularly to consecrate maxims moil favorable to
the rights of neutrality, and most conformable to
the regulations of 1778. — The First Consul in
restoring force to that regulation four months
ago, fulfilled the wish of justice and of Europe ;
and undoubtedly it will be delightful to him to
evince himfclf anew, faithful to his principles
by ratifying the treaty concluded by the Minis
ters of the republic, at amoment in which Eu
rope resounds with the violation of neutral
flags. The American Ministers on their fide
appreciated the advantage of being allied to a
nation governed at length with wisdom and
firmnefs. Every thing announces that a ftrift
and durable friendffiip is about to reanimate the
mutual commerce of the two nations."
