knows, for we do not. This is in fad the true pidnre of her
situation, without the aid of colouring or the force of exagge
ration. Weep over it if you love your country, and use all
your influence to mend and reform her manners.
" Never was I so agreeably disappointed in any country as
I have been in South-Carolina. „ Indeed I never saw any thing
to equal the fertility of it. Every thing grows in the molt
luxuriant manner, and the rice swamps afford the fineft foil in
the world for the culture of laurels. And what adds to the
beauty of the country, every body lives well, the ladies gay
and the gentlemen merry, iiofpitality hands porter at every
door, and conduces you with an officious welcome to the b md
of plenty. I love the people mod heartily ; they poflefs a libera
lity of thinking that pleases me much. No religious preindi
ces or ill-grounded pride disturb the repose of society. They
possess a dignity in their manner that is striking, but it is~fo
foftened with affability and freedom, that you feel no restraint
from their ronfequence and great riches. To their [other
good qualities, they add the great virtue of gratitude to their
character. The legislature of South-Carolina, have, with an
unanimous voice, voted General Greene ten thousand guineas,
to be laid out as he may please in land and negroes. Is not
this a very,dignified present ? A people so disposed will always
meet with faithful services. Here will I hold."
Philadelphia, March 27. We hear that the aft which hath
lately been palled by the Legislature of South-Carolina, for
confilcating -the estates of her fugitives and offenders, are to
be fold fcr bonds payable in five years, with legal interest. This
measure so wife and finifhed mutt have the mod beneficial con
sequences, as the very interest of those bonds will defray
great part of her expences and inftcad of throwing away her
possessions never to be recovered, her wealth is still accumu
lating.
The Honourable Mr. Gadsden, who had been confined forty
two weeks in the castle of St. Augustine, was elected Govern
our of the Rate. This ilhiftrious republican, who has done
and differed so much for his country, declined accepting the
office in a speech to the following effect: “ I have" said he
“ served you in a variety of Rations for thirty years, and I
would now cheat fully make one for a forlorn hope in an assault
on the lines of Charleftown, 'if it was probable, that with the
certain loss ofmy life you would be reinstated in the possession
of youccapital.. What I can do for my country I am willing to
do: My feritiments of the American cause, from the ffamp ad:
downwards;'have never changed ; I am still of opinion that it
isthecaufe of liberty and ofhipnan nature. If my acceptance
of the office of Governour would serve my country, though
my administration would be attended with the loss of personal
credit and reputation, I would chearfully undertake it, but
the prefer, times require the vigour and a&ivity of the prime
offife; I feel theincreafing infirmities of old age, to fach a de
gree, that I am conscious I cannot serve you to advantage; I
therefore beg for your fakes, and or the fake of the üblick,
that you would indulge me with the liberty of declining the
arduous trust."

CHARLESTOWN, May 1.
ON Sunday last arrived here the Rhooher Trimmer, from
St. Augustine. :
Arrived here yederday the sloop Speedwell, Money, and
the sloop Swift, Bromhall; and to-day the- fbhooner Hope,
Fisher, all from New-Providence, which they left thirteen
daysago.
Extract of a letter dated Nezu-Providence, April 16, 1782.
''There are arrived here three vefiels from the Weft In
dies, two of them prizes, one from Guadeloupe, ,the other
from St. Thomas's, and a cartel vessel, al! of„which bring
the intelligent that Sir George Rodney had reinforced Sir
Samuel Hood with 12 fail of the line; and the British fleet
conhttirig of 42 fail of the line, had blocked up that of the
French in Port Royal harbour in Maitiniriue, wlrch did not
exceed 30 in number. These £i r cumttance& are particularly
mentioned in a letter found on board one of the prizes, from
a merchant in Guadalonpe to his correspondent.
" The Spaniards have twelve fdl at Cape Francois, three
or four of which are fifty gun blips, and about 9000 troops;
but Rodney's critical arrival will, for the present, spoil their
sport. It was not'doubted hut they waited only for ajunttion
with the French to attack* Jamaica.
“ A number of prize's have been brought in here lately,
chiefly laden with flour, sugar, melaffes, and coffee. One
Spanish vessel was laden with dry goods."
In addition to the abov^accounts, Capt. Maxey, of the sloop
Speedwell, mentions, that before he failed from New-Provi
dence, two privateers had arrived there from a cruize, the
makers of which reported, that in the Old Bahama Straits
they saw some vcffe{s at a distance, which they afterwards
came near enough to discover to be a Spanish fleet of nine
ships of the line, with transports, &c. coming from Hispaniola
and fleering towards the Havana. Capt. Moxey further fays,
that a flag vessel had arrived at New-Providence from Cape
Francois, by which advices were brought, that the Spanish
fleet that had been there, with' a view of co-operating with the
French forces, on hearing that Count de Graffe was blocked
up in Martinique, had failed for the Havana.
Parker's-Ferry, April 24. By the latest accounts, from
Charlestown, the enemy appear to be taking fitch measures,
as indicate an intention to evacuate. It,will be very unfor
tunate-if they fhouldeffeft theirefcape before the arrival of the
French force daily expected in this date, to co-operate with
General Greet e.
By a lettcr'ftom Commodore Gillon, commander of the fri
gate South-Carolina, to his Excellency the Governour, we
learn, that be arrived at Havana on the 13th of January last,
wich the following prizes, bound from Jamaica to Glasgow,
which he captured io||the. gutoh of Florina a few days before,
v ™° , three Blips Nelly, Chrihie and Elderfiie, and the two
