The Gazette of the state of South-Carolina — Charles-town [S.C.], 1784-08-26 00:00:00, page 3

address to them the eid of April, that having the
last year requested of his Majchy leave to return
to Prance, you learn it has been granted, but the
official letter of the minister being loft, 'you expect
a duplicate; which frill probably arrive in the
rOccis of Congrefs^
It is with great cotteerh, fir; that Congress receive
this information, as it refpeffs a Minister for whom
they entertain a molt perfect esteem;
Prom the time of your arrival in America, to
the signing of the Provisional Treaty, the conduct
of the war has been attended with numerous dif
ficulties and perils, to surmount which, the joint
efforts of the United States, and of their great and
good Ally, have been neteffary.
Congress confider it as a fortunate citcumftance;
that during that period, the affairs of his most
Chr ftian Majesty in this quarter, have been under
the direction of an able and faithful minister,
whose anxiety to promote the' Views, arid elfential
interests of his sovereign, has beeh ever attended
with a laudable endeavour to reconcile them to
thole of his Allies. Without fucli a disposition,
it is evident there could not haveexifted a concert
of those measures, yvhich, by the smiles of Provi
dence, have hastened the conclusion of the late
distressing war.
The abilities of the gentleman, who, as you are
informed, is to be charged with the affairs of your
department, and his thorough knowledge of the
principles on which the alliance was founded,
will, we doubt not, conspire to produce, on his
part, such measures as will best promote the mutual
interest of the two nations.
We now, fir, bid you an affectionate adieu,
with the lulled aflurance, that you will be happy
in the smiles and approbation of your Royal
Sovereign; and we sincerely wish, that you may
be equally so in an interview with your friends,
and in your future engagements.

May 25. On the report of a committee, to whom
wa^ referred a petition of Dr. Gordon, represent
ing, that witli the desire of cheriffiing the love of
liberty, he has, at a considerable expehce; been
collecting materials for the hiftdry of the late
revolution, and praying that he may have access,
under the necessary reftraint^ to the documents
and records, in the archives of Congress; and that
Congress would be pßafed to countenance his ad
mission to the papers of the late Commander ih
Chief;

which may be desired; except inftru&ions to the
Ministers of the United States in foreign countries,
letters to or from those Ministers, hr other foreign

have been considered as confidential or secret.
That Congress having the fulleft confidence in
the prudence of the late Commander in Chief,
have no objection to his laying before Dr. Gordon,
any of his papers which he shall think, at this
period, may be submitted to the eye of the public.
