(COPY.)
QUINCY, May 1, 1792.
Dear Sir,
The first thing I have to communicate to you must be an explanation of the date of my letter. The Legislature of Massachusetts, last winter, upon a petition of the North Parish, in Braintree, separated it from the rest of the town, erected it into a new one, and gave it the name of Quincy. By this measure you see they have deprived me of my title of "Duke of Braintree," and made it necessary that my friends should write me in future, as an inhabitant of Quincy. So much for this Brimborion.
Something that interests me much more is your obliging letter of the 12th of this month.
I should have been happy to have seen Mr. Pinckney before his departure; but more from individual curiosity, than from any opinion, that I could have given him, any information of importance to him. If he has the talent of searching hearts he will not be long at a loss, if he has not, no information of mine can give it him.
The Duke of Leeds, once enquired of me very kindly, after his classmates at Westminster school, the two Mr. Pinckneys, which induces me to conclude, that our new ambassador has many powerful old friends in England. Whether this is a recommendation of him for the office or not, I have other reasons to believe that his family have had their eyes fixed upon the embassy of St. James's for many years, even before I was sent there, and that they contributed to limit the duration of my commission to three years, in order to make way for themselves to succeed me. I wish they may find as much honor and pleasure in it as they expected, and that the public may derive from it, dignity and utility. But knowing as I do, the long intrigue, and suspecting as I do, much British influence in the appointment, were I in any executive department, I should take the liberty to keep a vigilant eye upon them.
Accept of my thanks, for your reflections on the state of the union, which I have read with all the pleasure which the intelligence, information, accuracy, and elegance of the remarks on Lord Sheffield inspired.
There is one secret which you must be careful to keep, manufactures must have good government. They cannot exist where they are without it, much less can they be introduced where they are not. But a great part of the people of America, appear to be so determined to have no government at all; that if you let them know the whole truth you will excite an unmanageable party against manufactures. Manufactures cannot much less thrive, without honor, fidelity, punctuality, public and private faith, a sacred respect to property, and the moral obligation of promises and contracts; virtues and habits which never did, and never will generally prevail in any populous nation, without a decisive, as well as an intelligent and honest government. The science of political economy is but a late study, and is not yet generally understood among us. Though I have read most of the authors of reputation on the subject, both among the French and the English, I pretend not to have digested any thing relative to it, with the precision of a master. But to me it appears, that the general interest of agriculture in particular, as well as of the nation in
general, will be promoted by a discreet and judicious encouragement of manufactures, and that it is not the land jobber, who can be benefitted in the rapid rise of his monopoly, by drawing every labouring hand into the wilderness to fell trees.
The continual accession of foreigners will endanger and destroy our peace, if we know not how to govern them. They will moreover corrupt our elections, and tear us to pieces. Sufficient to the day, however, is its evil, and in that day and hour it always has been, and I doubt not, always will be given us to provide against its dangers.
(Signed) JOHN ADAMS. Too above has been repeated & published in the Aurora—now read the following.
Moultrieville, 15th Sept. 1800. Messieurs Breneau & Paine,
A LETTER copied from a new paper of Baltimore, having been inserted in your Gazette of Saturday last, signed JOHN ADAMS, and purporting from its contents to have been written to Mr. TENCH COXE, of Philadelphia, in the year 1792, wherein are contained some comments on my appointment as minister plenipotentiary to the court of Great Britain—I think it right at present only to state, that this letter either is a forgery calculated for electioneering purposes, or if genuine, must have been founded on a misapprehension of persons. This last suggestion I infer from facts, alluded to in the letter, and from the subsequent nomination of my brother, General Pinckney, to two highly confidential offices by its supposed writer.
To my fellow citizens of South-Carolina, who have so long honored me by testimonies of their confidence, I should deem it unnecessary to urge a syllable of justification from such charges as are implicated in this production, however authenticated; but as it appears, from the time of its publication, to be calculated for more extensive influence, I have deemed it of importance publicly to state what is above, that those persons who may be unacquainted with the characters concerned, may be guarded against giving credit, either to the authenticity or justice of this performance, until the event of an investigation, which I will immediately commence, shall be made public.
THOMAS PINCKNEY.
Philadelphia, October 27th, 1800. DEAR SIR,
IT was only on yesterday that I received the letter you did me the honor to write to me, on the sixteenth of September. For the friendly and respectful style in which it is written, I pray you to accept of my hearty thanks, and you shall receive in my answer, all the satisfaction in my power to give you.
Of the letter which is published in my name, I have no copy nor any very particular recollection. In general, I remember, that when Mr. Coxe was assistant to the Secretary of the Treasury, he was very assiduous in his attention to me—made me many visits at my house and many invitations to his own, when I was at the seat of government, and wrote me many letters when I was absent from it. I have also an indistinct idea of his writing me a letter, before your embarkation for Europe, expressing a great anxiety, that an interview should take place, between you and me, before you should depart, and an opinion, that it would be in my power to communicate to you some useful information, and advice, relative to the subject of your mission. As I knew of nothing that could make it necessary for you, to take a journey to Quincy, or for me to go to Philadelphia, it is probable, I wrote him something, like the letter, that is published—This however has been manifestly either so carelessly copied or unfaithfully printed, that I must refer to the original letter, which, if it is in my hand writing, will be easily known.
It may not be easy for me to give you a clear idea of the situation I was in, when that letter was written. In order to accomplish this necessary purpose, as well as I can, it must be observed, that in May, 1792, it was my misfortune to be wholly unacquainted with all the gentlemen, who bear the name of Pinckney. I had never seen one of them in my life as I can recollect, and knew not
that there were more than two. When I heard of your appointment, I recollected the conversation with the Marquis of Carmarthen, now Duke of Leeds, and imagined it probable, that his Lordship might have intimated directly or indirectly to some one near the President, that one of the Mr. Pinckney's would be agreeable at Court. I never had an idea of any other influence, than that, which is very common in Europe, when one government causes intimations to be given to another, that the appointment of some particular gentleman would be agreeable. And I now fully believe, that my suspicion of even that kind of influence was wholly unfounded in reality, though it had then some color, in appearance. The other insinuation, concerning the Pinckney family, had no other foundation than this:—When I received my commission to the Court of St. James's. I observed in it a limitation to three years. As I did not recollect any example of this before, I was at a loss for the reason of it, but as I did not intend at that time to remain in Europe, even so long a time as three years, I thought very little of it, until afterwards on my arrival in London in 1785, I received information without inquiry, that Mr. Pinckney, a member of Congress from South Carolina, had said, that "The limitation to three years had been inserted in my commission for the purpose of getting rid of me; that the mission to London was too good a thing for me; and that the intention was, as soon as I could be removed, to send a Mr. Pinckney of South Carolina in my room." When I heard of a Mr. Pinckney's appointment, this London information came into my mind and diverted me, because I supposed Mr. Pinckney after eight years had carried his point, and occasioned the sentiment expressed in the letter, which, from the sportive, playful, careless air of it throughout, must be easily perceived to have been confidential. It may be easily ascertained, who was the Mr. Pinckney, who was a member of Congress in 1784 or 1785, when my commission was granted, and dated, and when the limitation to three years was inserted.
On this occasion, it is but justice and duty in me to declare, that I have not at this time the smallest reason to believe or suspect, that you or your brother ever solicited any appointment under government abroad or at home, that the whole conduct of both as far as it has come to my knowledge (and I have had considerable opportunities to know the conduct of both since 1792) has shown minds candid, able and independent, wholly free from any kind of influence from Britain, and from any improper bias in favor of that country or any other; and that both have rendered, with honor and dignity to themselves, great and important services to our country. And I will add in the sincerity of my heart, that I know of no two gentlemen, whose characters and conduct are more deserving of confidence.
I cannot conclude without observing that we are fallen on evil times—on evil times indeed are we fallen, if every private conversation is immediately to be betrayed and misrepresented in the newspapers, and if every frivolous and confidential letter is to be dragged by the hand of treachery from its oblivion of eight years, and published by malice and revenge, for the purpose of making mischief.
I am, SIR, With great truth and regard, Your friend and humble servant, JOHN ADAMS.
The Honorable THOMAS PINCKNEY, Esq. Charleston, South Carolina.
As your letter has been so long on its way to me, I shall publish this answer immediately, which I hope you will excuse.

Foreign Intelligence.
CORK, August 21. Saturday last, Arthur Wallace, Postmaster of Carlow, was executed at the front of the new goal of that town, pursuant to his sentence at the last assizes, for embezzling bank notes, &c. This unhappy culprit, as we are credibly informed, requested Mr. Knot, high sheriff of the county of Carlow, to delay his execution till the arrival of the Dublin Mail Coach, expecting a respite; that gentleman, with his usual humanity, acquiesced with his desire. The coach arrived about three o'clock when Mr. Knot went personally and had the different bags carefully searched: no respite arrived. Orders were consequently given for his immediate execution. Between three and four o'clock in the afternoon he was escorted by a strong military guard, in a sedan chair, attended by Dr. Hubbert from the old goal in Bridewell lane, to the new goal in Barrack street, having a white cap hiding his face; he appeared much dejected, and almost senseless of his approaching fate, when he arrived there he remained about three quarters of an hour praying; at length he grew so weak and feeble, he was obliged to be assisted on the scaffold by two men and the goaler, when he was launched into eternity. He has bequeathed his wife the interest of 2000l. during life, in case she remains a widow, and to his two children 5000l. each.
