We arc informed that the teafon of Major Pinckney's not
being brought to town, with the prifeners taken in the late ex
pedition to Santee, was, that Major Fraser believed he had not
been exchanged since his being taken at the battle of Camden.
A gentleman present, however, mentioning that he recollected,
his having heard that Major Pinckney had been included in
a late partial exchange, a conditional parole was given to him,
which was to be in force if that had been so, but which is not
the case, as far as is known here.
Capt. Lawrence, of the Royal Militia, is arrived this day
