PHILADELPHIA, FRIDAY EVENING, MARCH 15.
The following are the replies of Major General Pinckney, to sundry addresses to him on his arrival at Charleston, from the different bodies therein referred to:
Mr. Intendant, and Wardens of the city of Charleston,
WITH respectful gratitude I receive the congratulations, which as magistrates of my native city, and in behalf of my fellow-citizens, you are pleased to tender me. Permit me to reciprocate with sincerity and with warmth the lively expressions of interest, which you have uttered in my favor. To return to my countrymen, unsuccessful in the mission of peace and reconciliation on which I was delegated, is no doubt painful in a high degree to my feelings, but to receive on my return, the testimonies of their approbation whilst abroad, goes far indeed to alleviate those feelings, and to compensate for the indignities and insults so liberally bestowed upon me by the government to which I was deputed.
With respect to that power, you must have observed with pride, that the energetic measures of the United States have already produced the effect, to change their mode of procedure; but permit me, gentlemen, to say, that from the intimate knowledge of that nation, which I have had an opportunity to possess, I am thoroughly persuaded that no alteration has taken place in their system.
It is with pleasure I observe, that you are aware of their inimical views towards us, when you tell me that our citizens are prepared to meet at the point of the sword any attacks that may be made on their sovereignty and independence. The experience of several years has shown us, and the occurrences of every day must convince us, that in no other manner can be met the daring encroachments of a people, who, abusing the honorable title of republicans, are bending their whole strength to subvert, in every quarter of the globe, the holy blessings of civil liberty, and the precious rights of self-government: a people whom no candid appeal to justice, no claim of ancient friendship, and no humiliation can for one moment divert from their long planned system of general oppression.
Force alone is left to those whom he has injured; and happy the nation, whom the insidious arts of her destructive policy have not already deprived of this solitary resource. America is still among the number.
Before I take my leave, suffer me to offer you my assurances of the pleasing emotions which are excited in my breast, by the flattering manner in which you mention my recent appointment to a grade in the army of our republic. I may be allowed to indulge the hope that I shall, in the discharge of my military duties, still continue to merit the approbation of the citizens whom you represent. Charles Cotesworth Pinckney.
To the Officers of the Seventh Brigade in Charleston.
IT is exceedingly flattering to me, to receive the address of those who are to be united with me in the defence of our common country. It is particularly grateful to me to find, that among them are many who have in past times been my companions in the field, and to whose valour and patriotism I have been personal witness. With heartfelt pleasure I see the martial ardor which pervades all classes of my fellow citizens, and their firm determination to support our rights and independence. An habitual dislike to prepare for hostile resistance, and an apathy with respect to national honor, too certainly provoke aggression in all ambitious and powerful states; while on the other hand a preparation for war, a sincere union among all the citizens of the state, whether they are called by the voice of their country to command, or to obey, with a strong manifestation to support our national rights, will as certainly produce the effect of checking the criminal enterprises of the most rapacious and aspiring foe. You are pleased to observe, that your sensibility was often awakened by the unworthy and insidious treatment which I received, and which, through me, was offered to our country, by those who so lately esteemed our friends. Permit me, on this occasion, to say, that if my own feelings were often excited by the insulting conduct of France, their keenness was doubly augmented, when I reflected that this treatment was directed towards a people, whom I had so lately left overflowing with the warmest effusions of virtuous friendship.
But our minds are now awakened to the views of that nation. Let us hasten, then, my fellow soldiers, as our overtures for peace have been spurned with contempt, to prepare with active energy for war. The despots of France will, I am sure, attempt to disunite us, for they are insidious and cunning; but I conjure you to exert the utmost vigilance, to detect and guard against their wiles, and to frustrate their Machiavellian policy. They will, by fallacious propositions, endeavour to relax our activity: be careful how you trust them, and be in readiness to repel their hostilities; for they are vindictive, fierce, and unrelenting, and their animosity against us is roused by the very injuries which we have sustained at their hands. Let a strenuous application confirm your discipline; let the enthusiasm of public virtue animate your exertions; let a confidence in the justice of your cause elevate your hopes, and the efforts of your valor will insure your victory.
I say this without hesitation; for I well know the zeal and patriotism of the troops
whom you command; and I require not at this time of day any proof of the alacrity and ardor with which they would follow their officers to the toils and dangers of the camp.
I cannot take my leave, without returning you my thanks for your congratulations on my military appointment, and assuring you, that I receive with infinite satisfaction, the pledge which you offer me, of your cheerfulness to take the field, should such a measure be required by future events. CHARLES COTESWORTH PINCKNEY.
To the Society of the Cincinnati, in the state of South Carolina.
AMONG the numerous marks of friendship and attention which I have received since my return to my native country, none are more grateful to my heart, than the congratulations of my old companions and brethren in arms.
It was with the highest pleasure I perused in your late address to the President of the United States, your full approbation of the wife, temperate and conciliatory conduct adopted and pursued by him in the negotiation with France; and I am happy to find you are not dissatisfied with the manner in which his instructions were followed. America has thus endeavored with candor and sincerity, to avoid the calamities of war, and has with patient perseverance in vain sued to obtain reconciliation, peace, or even a cessation of hostilities, from the supposed justice of her former friend. You know with what insulting arrogance and avaricious rapacity our overtures were received. The necessity of a just defence now loudly calls upon us to take up arms against the tyranny and oppression of France; and I doubt not but my countrymen will shew as much fortitude and energy in the present contest, in support of our rights and independence, as I have seen you display in our revolutionary war in establishing and maintaining them.
Let us, my brethren, most attentively guard against the encroachments of discord; let us efface every vestige of party distinctions; and let us, as heretofore, be united and true to ourselves. Success will then attend on our banners, and America, by convincing France that an injured and insulted friend may become a determined and formidable foe, will obtain a safe and honorable peace.
Receive my best thanks for your congratulations on the high military rank, to which the President had been pleased to appoint me before my return to America. Be assured, the little talents I possess shall be unremittingly employed in the discharge of my duty, and that I shall thus endeavour to preserve the continuance of the esteem and affection of my countrymen. CHARLES COTESWORTH PINCKNEY.

DOMESTIC.
THE pen of Shakespeare is descriptive of events of the present times. There is no "news abroad in the world, but that there is so great a fever on goodnes that the dissolution of it must cure it." Novelty is only in request; and it is as dangerous to be aged in any kind of course, as it is virtuous to be constant in any undertaking. There is scarce truth enough alive to make societies secure, but security enough to make fellowship accrue. Much upon this riddle runs the wisdom of the world. The news is old enough, yet it is every day's news. The French Republic seems to grow still more convinced that the citizens of the United States are not sufficiently divided among themselves, to be conquered, like the small, effeminate States of Europe, by arms, threats or diplomatic skill. A new art of deception is under experiment. The French oracle is to make two contrarious responses. The Directory has passed a decree that all Americans and citizens of all neutral nations, though forced into service, shall be treated as pirates, whenever they fall into their power. In the meantime, they have sent a general Desfourneaux, as agent of Guadalupe and its dependencies, to give assurances to the President of the United States, that the Americans may exchange their produce for "the productions of that Island; may dispose of their property freely; the laws will protect them, and will punish with rigor whoever will dare to oppose them or suspend their effect."
But an American captain, just returned from Guadalupe, declares that these offers are fallacious; no vessel is released, excepting that of capt. Bainbridge, who brought this address to our government; that all vessels were condemned; that five masters of vessels were thrust into a dungeon; that eight seamen were only allowed one pound of meat a day, and were almost entirely naked. Not long since a person was governor of this island by the name of Desfourneaux, who for iniquitous practices, was recalled; who zealously procured the condemnation of American vessels and cargoes; and was concerned in some vessels in the trade of plundering. Probably, the loyal governor is returned as agent for the directory, as a great deal of diplomatic skill and deception will not insure his character.
"For write aged on a Devil's horn, 'Tis still a devil's cret."
Many of our countrymen, like lovers, are full to enamored of French fraternity and French practices, that they are blind to every crime of which the object, so tenderly beloved, can even be guilty. While they are murdering our citizens, starving our prisoners, and plundering our best property, the whole democratic horde urges us not to give loafs their national flag; and even federalists employ French masters to indoctrinate their children; to polish them in frivolous arts; and gradually to instil modern principles of morality, or the high science of universal citizenship. French in-
structors must be choice acquisitions to establish a national character and disseminate true Americanism.
COMMUNICATION.
THE indictment of Citizen Whitney for adultery mentioned in your paper, No. 22, his plunging the partner of his life and his respectable neighbour in sorrow, are not the only evils attended the pernicious doctrines of our Jacobins. Citizen Emanuel Cane, of Shrewsbury, aged 60, ci-devant member of our State Legislature, after carrying on an illicit commerce, for some time, with a neighbor's wife, was at length discovered by the husband in a tete a tete conversation. The husband became almost frantic on the occasion; the venerable citizen, however, found means to appease him by actually purchasing his dulcinea for two hundred dollars, and received a bill of sale of her as his property. This instrument being discovered by his aged wife, he found it convenient to settle a considerable part of his property on her and his children, and has left the state with his Inamorato , who is but 24 years of age. This is the man who has bellowed to loud in the cause of liberty and equality. This is the man who has ever opposed the government of the United States; and this is the bosom friend of Matthew Lyon, his zealous advocate and indefatigable agent in promoting his election. "For the honor of human nature" it is hoped those principles which tend to diffuse the strongest and most precious ties in society, may no longer be supported, but by the vile and infamous; and may the wretch who contends for the liberty of doing evil, ever experience the strength and energy of the arm of justice.
PROVIDENCE, March 7.
A gentleman who arrived yesterday from New-York has politely favored us with the loan one hour of a few late papers; from them we have a confirmation of the capture of the L'Infurgente frigate by capt. Truxton, &c. &c. He says he mounts 38 guns, although rated but 32.
A federal salute from the United Train of Artillery; and a peal from all the bells in town announced the confirmation of this highly interesting event to the inhabitants of this town, and of the adjacent country.

The inhabitants of Hull, on Thursday and Friday, experienced the pleasing and exhilarating sight of upwards of 60 sail of ships arriving from the Baltic. They may be valued at nearly three hundred thousand pounds. They are part of a fleet of 400 sail. Three privateers got in the midst of them, but owing to gales of wind, did not make any captures.
DUBLIN, December 5.
You may remember government tendered with the state prisoners that they should emigrate to such country (not in the British dominions) as might be agreed upon between them and the government. After repeated applications to take the benefit of the agreement, about two months since, they were officially informed that any person willing to go to America might depart as soon as convenient; but those who had Europe in view, would not then be permitted; some days after another official notice arrived, countermanding the other, stating that the American consul had remonstrated with the British court against their going to America, of course that they should remain in prison. This day one of the Castle secretaries called upon the several prisoners, and informed them that they might now go to any part of the European continent not at war with us, except the under-named persons, who were informed that circumstances had occurred which prevented the lord lieutenant from suffering them to leave prison for the present. At the same time intimating to all persons included in the Emigration Bill (the excepted persons excluded) that if they did not depart in the course of a month, they must remain in prison at their own expence, as government, after that, would not grant them any allowance.
The following is a list of the persons who will not be permitted to depart:  Arthur O'Connor, Matt. Dowling,  Thomas A. Emmett, John Sweeney,  John Sweetman, Hugh Willon,  Henry Jackson, Miles Dignam,  Doctor McNevin, Joseph Curkett,  John Chambers, John Cormick,  Samuel Nelson, Dean Swift.  Thomas Russell,

The corporation of Trinity College, consisting of the Provost, Fellows, Scholars, &c. waited on his Excellency the Marquis Cornwallis, on Tuesday, with a congratulatory address to his Majesty, on the recent success of his arms, as affecting the empire at large, and this country in particular. They also presented an address to the Lord Lieutenant, congratulating him on the efficacy of his measures, and the country on the blessings derived from the administration of a nobleman, who knows so well and so happily to unite the application of vigour and of mercy to the distracted affairs of this country. The address also expressed a confidence in the continuation of the present lenient and conciliating system, and that his Majesty will be pleased to continue to this kingdom, so faithful a representative of his kingly virtues and parental care for the good of his people. Both addresses were read by Doctor Kearney.
Such is the marked disapprobation shewn by all descriptions in Ireland to a Union, that the very papers in pay of administration seem unwilling to give it their support.

The following communication was received at too late an hour, for insertion in the whole impression of yesterday.
Last evening died, after a short illness, in the 52d year of his age, Mr. MORDECAI LEWIS of this city, merchant—A gentleman, who possessed the highest mercantile abilities, the strictest honor, the most punctuality, in all his dealings, and who, for a considerable number of years, conducted an extensive and lucrative trade, to several parts of the world, with sound judgment and unfulfilled probity.
Yesterday, at the Indian Queen, died, Captain THOMAS STERLING, of Georgia, in consequence of a pleurisy, with which he was attacked near five weeks ago. His remains will be interred at 4 o'clock this afternoon.
STEAM ENGINES.
Some time ago, a vessel for the conveyance of coal, was to be worked from Newcastle to London, by means of a steam engine. She consumed so much of the coal on her voyage, that on her arrival in the port of London, scarcely a cinder was left.
See Canning's speech before the British House of Commons. At the late court of Oyer and Terminer in this city, the following letter from the Mayor to the Foreman of the Grand Jury, and their representation on the subject, was presented and read.
Philadelphia, Feb. 19, 1799. SIR, SINCE the last court of Oyer and Terminer was held in and for the city and county of Philadelphia, and during the late and awful visitation with which it pleased Providence to afflict our city, a melancholy occurrence took place at the Philadelphia prison, where I was compelled to be a principal actor—a regard for my fellow men urged me to save the life of an useful citizen who was then under the axe of a ruffian, which only could be done by closing the career of the daring assailant.
Humanity must mourn over the deed, whilst public safety and general preservation will be offered as a justification for the solemn act. Permit me, Sir, through you, to request that the Grand Jury will be pleased to investigate the transaction; for altho' the verdict of the coroner's inquest was clear and satisfactory, as far as it laid with them, yet it certainly is a matter of too much importance (as the lives of two fellow creatures were taken) to rest without a minute enquiry being made by your highly responsible body.
With great respect, I remain, Your assured friend, ROBERT WHARTON. Joseph Cowperthwaite, Esq. Foreman of the Grand Jury of the court of Oyer and Terminer.
To the JUDGES of the Court of Oyer and Terminer and General Goal Delivery The Grand Inquest for the commonwealth of Pennsylvania, enquiring for the city and county of Philadelphia, beg leave to present to your honorable court:
THAT during the prevalence of the late awful calamity in our city, two unhappy men came to an untimely death in the goal of the city and county aforesaid, in an attempt to make their escape from confinement. The circumstances were truly alarming, inasmuch as the lives and property of many of our citizens would have been at their mercy, if such a notorious banditti had effected their escape, which in all human probability they would have done, had it not been for the activity of Robert Wharton, Esq. who, at the risk of falling a victim himself to the destructive pestilence, which then desolated the city, from motives of public good, undertook the perilous task of keeping the goal (the former keeper Peter Smith, and several others, having removed away). In the endeavors to quiet the daring riot, it was indispensably necessary to take the most vigorous measures:
—And in the discharge of a most sacred duty, Robert Wharton, Esq. and George Gals, (a constable) fired on them at the very same time, when one of the prisoners was shot, in the very act of taking the life of Thomas Evans, (a constable) who was then lying down stunned from a stroke received from one of the rioters with an uplifted broad-axe. It appears from our enquiries, that the other man was killed by Thomas Evans (the aforesaid constable) before the affray subsided. WE, THEREFORE beg leave to present ROBERT WHARTON, Esquire, and all his associates on the aforesaid occasion, as doing an act, which imperious necessity, their duty as officers, men and citizens, not only fully justified, but which we farther present, as highly meritorious, and deserving the thanks of their fellow citizens.
Philadelphia, Feb. 21st, 1799. (Signed)

If Judge McKim succeeds at the ensuing election, for Governor of Pennsylvania, what a strange metamorphosis will necessarily be produced in the manners of that sober and industrious state—or should we not rather say that the change must first take place before such a notorious d—can be elevated to the chair of state.
To the Editor.
SIR, In looking over the laws of the state, I was forcibly struck with this circumstance: that where there is one law respecting personal liberty, there are twenty relating to, and regulating personal property. Now, Sir, I wish to know whether in the elections for members of our legislative bodies, whose acts refer, almost wholly, to property; it is natural and just that one man without one acre or one foot of ground, and perhaps without one dollar, should be placed on a footing with another possessed of a large landed estate, an extensive capital in trade or considerable interest in the funds.

A CARD.
To the Friends of Government. Your supineness forms a mournful contrast to the active zeal of your enemies—While you are pursuing your occupations, thoughtless and improvident of your political concerns, your foes are holding their secret meetings, and busily preparing for the approaching elections. Rouse from your security, before it is too late!!!
(Suspicions have frequently been expressed of the sincerity of Toussaint's mission to the United States—Americans have, of late, been so accustomed to regard with a jealous eye, every thing French, that it is not to be wondered at. The following Extract, upon the authenticity of which our readers may with confidence rely, shows clearly, that Toussaint is playing a deep game. It is plain that he intends to deceive either the American or his own government—or, perhaps, both, in favor of the English. We firmly hope and believe, that no encouragement will be given to his projects, until satisfactory proofs of his sincerity and good faith, shall have been obtained.)
Extract from the report of general Toussaint L'Ouverture to the French directory.
When by my left dispatches I determined to solicit my dismissal, through the medium of minister of marine and of the colonies, it was after I had opposed all the shafts of opposition to the principles established by the constitution, maintained by your wisdom and defended by your energy. In the conduct observed by the agent Hedouville, during the short space of time he governed this colony, I fore saw the unfortunate event which in an instant interrupted the public tranquility, the re-establishment of which caused me so much trouble: It was after I had calculated the consequences of the disregarded testified and publicly manifested to me by him in general circumstances, I feared, the meditated dismissal would be the reward of my long services, my fidelity, and attachment. The event at Fort Liberty has realized my apprehensions as to the subversion contemplated, and the proclamation issued by the agent at the moment of his departure has justified my fears as to the fate reserved for me. The most disgraceful injury that could be done to a man of honor, crowns all the wrongs which he has heaped upon me. By this perfidious act, he has obliged to fly from this place a vast number of Frenchmen, who felicitated themselves in having finally found happiness, and who, faithful to their country, sacrificed their interest rather than become accomplices in the crime of independence of which I am rendered guilty in their eyes; he carries along with him, especially the principal officers, which perhaps it will be said is the strongest evidence of my perfidy, of my duplicity; doubtless the first act of the directory which I respect, in seeing them unanimously bear testimony against me, will be to call down on me the vengeance of the French people, whom I love—to confign me to the execration of the enemies of the black people, which enemies I despise—to exclaim there is slavery! But when it shall be known that at the time I was accused of wishing to bring about a separation from France, my benevolence, I repeated the oath of fidelity to her, notwithstanding the injustice of the representative of your government that when
it was declared that a white flag with a black head, had been hoisted in every place under my jurisdiction, the tri-colored flag, the glorious emblem of the invincible power of the French republic, and not for a moment cease also to wave therein. That when perfidy had armed the whites against the blacks, enkindled the flames of discord and inspired distrust, I restored them to calm peace, confidence and tranquility, I flattered myself that my government, my fellow citizens, would render me the justice which I merit, and that the enemies of my brethren would be silenced.
It is then in order to leave no doubt of my fidelity to my government—of my attachment to the French Republic, and to dissipate those suspicions which French Republicans may entertain with regard to myself, that I now undertake to counteract the calumny which the representation of my past conduct should obliterate. It will serve as a proof of my good intentions, and justify me in the opinions of impartial men. Nor should I have undertaken it in circumstances less alarming for the liberty of my brethren but would have been silent were I alone to be the victim.
(Further he says, speaking at Hedouville) The most sincere assurances on my part convey to him the pledge of my satisfaction on his arrival, and the certainty of my regard, my respect for his authority, my fidelity to France, and my attachment to her sublime constitution.

The following message from the Governor, was yesterday communicated to the Legislature of this state:
To the Senate and House of Representatives of the General Assembly of the Commonwealth of Pennsylvania.
Gentlemen, IT is announced by a Proclamation issued by the President of the United States, dated the 12th inst. that combinations to defeat the execution of the laws for the valuation of lands and dwelling houses within the United States, have existed in the counties of Northampton, Montgomery and Bucks, in the State of Pennsylvania, that in the judgment of the President it is necessary to call forth military force in order to suppress the combinations aforesaid, and cause the laws aforesaid to be duly executed; and that the President has accordingly determined so to do under the solemn conviction that the essential interests of the United States demand it. Though I have received no communication from the President on this important occasion, yet it is my duty as Executive Magistrate of Pennsylvania, to call your attention to the subject; that if any measures ought to be taken on the part of the State, to co-operate with the Federal Government, they may be devised and authorized by the Legislature.

TO THE Promoters of Literature.
