The Gazette of the state of South-Carolina — Charles-town [S.C.], 1784-12-13 00:00:00, page 2

Ur. PRINTER of the STATE,
IN your Gazette of yesterday I find, just after the
Election for Camden DiStriCt, a paragraph,
which, I confefs, I do not underhand, and which
many of your readers wilh to have explained—•
" Among many publications (you fay) advertised
" in the Paris Gazette, is La Sainte Bible. This
*' may be confidcred as a ray of the fun of liberty
'' and liberality."
Poor Frenchmen! you have been until now in
the dark. How promising is that ray of Mr. Miller's
fun !—I am much afraid, Mr. Printer, that the fun
of judgment and liberality will rfever rife on you.
The Frinter,of?he State mould sometimes facrifice
to decency the lucubrations of his wit, and be
pycen you and I Mr. Miller, you have so little to
facrifice, that you are utterly inexcusable in your
repeated aspersions against our friends in Europe.
When under the Head of London News, you deal
outrhufe against them, I cxcuTe you in some de
gree—Though, I remark, there is some affectation
in the choice of the paragraphs you extract from
Britiffi Gazettes— The poverty of your press pleads
in your favor—And indeed I feel indulgence for
an Dnglifhman so lately arrived among us, that he
cannot, as yet, have got the better of his prejudices,
bitterness of foul, foolifh Don Quixottic pride
'and hatred against all our allies—-But, Mr. Miller,
at leaft'fumetiir.es hold your tongue, and do never
Apeak so openly out of your own head! Be the par
rot of the British prints, if you cannot do better;
but never presume to be the writer of paragraphs,
which are calculated only for the good people of
London.—
Tor God's fake! do tell rhe what have our Fel
low Republicans the Dutch done to you? poor
Ilynheers, flat bottoms, nothing in Short, that can
mortify them, efeapes your notice—Ahl ah! I have
found you out, Mr. Printer; you cannot forget the
good drubbing their gallant Zoutman gave your
.fleet at Dogger Bank; you feel all the rage of an
'English heart against them—Mr. Printer, lam glad
to fee you gain here a great deal of money, and I
.wish your fortune could febn permit you to return
to England ; but in the mean tifne, remember that
we owe money to the Dutch, and ty^nt to borrow
from them a great deal mere.
This is not a, Mr. Printer of the State-—Not fa^
tisfied with abuung our Allies abroad, you indu
dhioufly throw out suggestions aghihft our confede
ration, our very Salvation^—by telling us so often,
(that Europeans think our Congress is, an infignifi
cant affemWy, a deceitful shadow, a mere phan
tom, created only to cheat our friends of money,
!and then laugh at their credulity.—ls it your place
to perfudde us into thele anti-federal, dangerous
opinions ' We are not fools, Sir ; though we read
your patched Gazette—Mr. Miller will not be our
teacher in politics, and South Carolina cherishes
an Union which will enable our United Sifter
,States to meet with confidence every tranf-atlantic
hostile Step against our trade and liberty.
.. I. am one of your supporters, Mr. Printer, but
vou make me blush often—l begin to think, the
Legislature would do right upon the whole, to give
the preference to an American Press, and now, we
may choose from among federal. —

amount to 300,000 florins.

Yesterday arrived in this capital the Prince Bi
shop of Ofnaburg, accompanied by Gen. Gren
ville, and Sir Robert Murray Keith, Envoy Ex
traordinary and Minister Plenipotentiary from his
Britannic Majesty to the Imperial Court, who Went
to Molk to meet his Royal Highness.
The Court of Versailles continues to interpose
its good offices to effect an accommodation of the
differences subsisting between his Imperial Majesty
and the States General. The Marquis de Noailles,
Principal Minister of his Moss Chriflian Majesty,
last week held a conference witli Prince Kaunitz,
and then produced a conciliatory plan, which, in
the opinion of the King his Mader, is founded oh
justice and equity.
L ONDO N, Sept. 23.
A private letter from Vienna fays, that mod of
the Imperial regiments fit for actual service, have
received orders to hold thcmfclves in readiness to
take the field at 24 hours notice. Some thousands
of workmen are employed day and night in getting
ready the camp equipage; contrasts have been
made for an immense train of baggage waggons,
and horses for the artillery; great dores of corn are
laying up in every province on his Majesty's ac
count, but particularly in the fertile countries of
Gallicia and Lubomiria, whicli belonged lately to
Poland.'(FieldsMar© fch,ls Lacy and Loudon arc.

'On Saturday evening last William Johnson, one
of the murderers and pirates for whom a reward of
two hundred dollars is offered, by an advertisement
lrom 'fehilale!phia, was apprehended in this town
and carried to the guard-house. Captain Bartlett
having had information that his baggage was car
ried away to Port Royal on the fame morning, im
mediately went with a party of the town guard,
and brought it up to this town, on the knowledge
of which the villain confeffed the several murders,
that he and his accomplices Lad committed, and
the next morning gave a circumstantial account
thereof to the Magistrates, after which he was or
dered to close confinement in gaol.
The pirate now in gaol was apprehended in
Luck-lane by two constables: He had his coat but
toned, and a final! bundle under his arm, making
his way towards the fea-fidc.
It appears by fahnfon's confeffion, that only Jo
seph Twcntymaii and himfelf arrived With the vef
-7cl and cargo at this island; they having landed
William Price on some part of Hispaniola, and
murdered the other pirate Morris Keaton, When

Marcheoneal on the Bth of September, where they
disposed of her and the cargo.
.We are sorry to fay) that notwithstanding the
mos t diligent search by Captain Bartlett, with a
party of the town-guaid, the other villain, Joseph
Twentyman, has notfet been aforhended.

CHARLESTON,
DECEMBERS, 1784.
SOME months ago a report Was circulated of ho
stilities committed against the French by the
Algerines and others. This report Was entirely de
stitute of foundation. The regencies of Algiers,
Tunis and Tripoli, as well as the emperor of Mo
rocco, havefhewn aconftant desire to be at perfect
peace with his Most Christian Majesty, and no
thing is likely to break the good harmony which
has so long subsisted.
His Excellency John Dickinson, Esq. is re
chofen President for the State of Pennsylvania—
And his Excellency William Paca, Esq. is " ~'~"
e : d Governor for the State of Maryland,
nitz is not confultcd on these occasions, because the
consultations Xyith the two Marshals are about mi
litary plans and expeditions. When there is aqu -
Lion of the general proposition, whether peace
fnall be maintained or war declared, then the old
Prince always fills his Nation at the Council-board,
and no man's opinion has more weight with his
Majesty. From the lengths that the Emperor has
already gone with refpetl to the Dutch, it is pre
sumed that Prime Kaunitz is for war'!
N E W -YORK, Nov. 15.
WE are happy that we are able(upon undoubt
ed authority) to inform the public, that the
Commissioners of thc Uni'ted States have concluded
a treaty, at Fort Stanwix, with the Six Indian na
tions, ana have giVen peace to the Seneca, Mo
hawk, Onondago, and Cayuga tribes, and received
them into the protection of the United States, in
confequeAce of 'their having delivered into the
hands of th'e Commiffioriers fix hostages (who are
sachems and Warriors) to remain in the power of
the United States, Until the people, which have
been captured by those late hostile tribes, Shall be
delivered up; which, it is expected (in case the
weather Shall be favourable) will be in about two
weeks from this time.
We are also authorised to inform those, who are
so unhappy as to have friends in the hand's of the
late hostile tribes of the fix nations, that the Com
miflioners of the United States have gived a parti
cular attention to the wants of these unfortunate
prisoners—and have therefore made an instruction
to the Commanding Officer of the troops of the
United States at fort Stanwix, to forward (agree
ably to a special direction given him) such a quan
tity of the goods which are left in his hands, and
also, fucli a competent supply of provisions, as will
be necessary for the support and comfort of the pri
soners while on their way to his post; and that on
their arrival there, they will participate of his care
and tenderness.
The CommiiTioners have also ordered that the
prisoners be delivered by the Commanding Officer
to such of their friends, as may come for them, and
that he give passports and a fufficiency of provisions
to those, and to all such as he may think are sincere
in their wishes to return to their own homes. And
that all such as are not applied for, arid may not
know the way to their homes, be sent, with the
greatest care to Weft-Point, and that their names,
defcriptiobs, and (if known) their places of abode,
be published in the different News-Papers.
We are also to inform the public, that by an ar
ticle of th 6 treaty, a boundary line is established
between the United States and the possessions of the
fix Indian nations, by which a very considerable
territory is yielded up to the United States, to com
pensate them in Some measure, for the injuries
which they have received from the said late hostile
tribes, during the late war. And by the possessions
of the fix Indian nations being thus accurately de
scribed, it is expelled, that all further difquict and
vexation will be prevented.
