between an armed vetfel of the Emperor and one
of the States of Holland, in confcquence of which
the Dutch took possession of two of the Emperor's
forts.—This intelligence came in a ship in 30 days
from London to Boston.
Tuesday hft being the anniversary of the evacua
tion of this city by the British troops, the fame was
observed here by the ringing of bells, firing of can
non, &c.
Tuesday morning departed this life, Mrs.
FRANCES RAMSAY, wife of Doctor Da
vid Ramsay, of this city, and daughter of Dr.
John Witherspoon, Presid e nt of New-ferfey
College.—Her faetnefs of temper, vivacity,
and good fafe, engaged, enlivened, and im
proved her friends, and have rendered her pre
mature deceaje a fubjeß of unaffefled grief to a
large circle of acquaintance. Called hence at
twenty-five years of age, she has frikingly in
culcated upon all youth the importance of our
divine Maker's precept, —" Be ye also ready."
She has left to the tender and weeping partner
of her life an infant son, with this farther con
solation, that what is to him an irreparable loss,
is to her an inconceivable and everlajling gain.
Mr. PRINTER of the STATE,
YOU have made a great miflake in connecting the
letter of the TRUE-BORN AMERICAN and
the Dutch publication of price current. The True-born
American has not the lecfl concern in trade ; he is far
above mercantile intrigues, and wishes as much as any
body to fa our /aple commodities fetch a good price;
that, Sir, you may depend upon. I approve highly
your dif countenancing any fallacious affections calcu
lated to promote private intcreft; fill your Gazettes
with all possible intelligence which map help planters
and merchants ; keep,our readers informed with the
tranfaftions of all the world; but let your types be free,
liberal, and uninfluenced by your native prejudices;
continue to keep the eyes of the people open to the ma
riauvres of that despicable fa of /peculators, who have
made for fix months pas fah fruitlefs exertions to get
into power ; it is, Mr. Printer of the State, what is
expected from you in Carolina. Remember, you are
7CO longer in London; do not insult the nations which
your countrymen hate, and we love; do not pick out
with a malignant affectation the me/ venomous para
graphs of the British prints againfi them; despise the
ignorance of the British writers upon American affairs,
and when,ou cop, their lampoons again/ our govern
ment, let the people fee that you do not mean to impress
upon their minds Bri'tifh ideas. Then, Sir, you will
generally plertf, and give offence to no body. Then,
Sir, your friends will hot blu, to fu,port you, and
the finger of republican jealous, will ' net point you out
to the General A/embly as a dangerous Britifi Prin
ter, so much the more, asyou are Concealed under the
official title of the Printer of the State.
I hope that,on will acknowledge your miflake, and
give a fatisjaflory explanation of that indecent para
graph of ,our Gazette of the icth inf. upon a liberal,
enlightened and friendly nation, whose alliance we glory
in. To refufe.it, Nr, would be to avow, that there is
low canning in the pretended iniftake.
A TRUE-BORN AMERICAN.
