CHARLESTON,
WEDNESDAY, October i.
SATURDAY night, at, or about the hour of
ten, force fallers belonging to a Dutch vessel
in this harbour, were, on their landing, attacked
by two armed sailors, who were, or affected to be
Frenchmen ; the former having received a rein
forcement from their flhip, advanced on the two
villainous ahailnnts, upon which ore of the latter
puiled out a piffol, ana fh^t una of the Dutchmen
through the lead.
That something like a jealousy subsists in the
brerlts of ?r„, against the trade of our Allies to
this State, is but too evident from former attacks
made by the captains and crews of certain foreign
vessels, ard by a tory dray-man in this town, on
the periods and coats of Dutch and Frenchmen.
How long the old citizens will tolerate such infuhs
cn their benffidors and friends, time will tell.

PROPOSALS of eftabhfhing a (octet,,
upon principles therein mentioned,
whose members shall be the officers of the
American army, having been communi
cated to the several regiments of the re
fpe&iye lines, they appointed an officer
from each, who, in conjunction with the
general officers, should take the fame into
consideration at their meeting this day, at
which the Hon ; Major-General Baren de
Steuben, the senior officer present, was
pleased to preside.
The proposals being Wad, fully consi
dered paragraph by paragraph, and the a
mendments agreed to, Major Gen. Knox,
Brig, Gen. Huntingdon, Brig. Gen. Hand,
and Capt. Shaw, were chosen to revile the
fame, and prepare 2 copy to be laid before
this assembly, at their next meeting, to bh
hblden at Major Gen. Baron de Reuben's
quarters, on Tuelday the 13th instant.
Tuesday, 13th May, 1783.
The representatives of the American
army being assembled agreeable to adjourn
ment, the plan for establishing a locietv
wheieof the officers of the army are to be
members, is accepted and is as follows, viz,
IT having pleated the Supreme Gover
nour of the Univerle, in the difpofaion of
human affairs, to cause the separation of the
colonies of North-America from the do
mination of Greac-Britain, and after a
bloody conflict of eight years, to eftablilh
them free, Sovereign and independent
States, connected by alliances founded on
reciprocal advantage with fofne of the
great Princes and Powers of the Earth.
To perpetuate, therefore, as well the re
membrance of this vast event as the mu
tual Iriendlbips which have been formed
under the prerfure of common danger,
and in many instances cemrn r td by 'the
blood of the parties, the officers' of the
American army do hereby, in the most So
lemn manner, afibciate, constitute, and
combine themselves into one JocietN of
friends, to endure as long as they shall en
dure, or any of their elicit male posterity,
and in failuie thereof, the collateral branch
es, who may be judged Worthy of becom
ing its Supporters and members.
The officers of the American army, hav
'"^ generally been taken from the citizens
of Ameiica, poflels high veneration for
tne character of that illustrious Roman,
Lucius Quintus Cincinnatus, and being
resolved to follow his example by return
ing to their citizenship, they think they
may with propriety denominate themselves
The Society of the Cincinnati.
The follow ng principles shall be im
mutable, and form the balls of the Society
of the Cincinnati;
An incessant attention to preserve invio
late those exalted rights and liberties of
human nature, for which they have fought
and bled, and without which the high rank
of a rational being is a curse instead of
a blessing,
An unalterable determination to pro
mote and cherish between the respective
States, that union and riational honour, so
essentially necessary to their happiness, and
the future dignity of the American empire.
To render permanent the cordial affeCti
dn lubfifting among the officers, this Spirit
will dictate brotherly kindness in all things,
and particularly extend to the most sub
stantial ads of beneficence, according to
the ability of the society, towards those
Officers and their families who unfortu
nately may be under the necessity of re*
giving it.
