1* United States. AUGUSTA, May 11 On Friday the loth inft. Mr. Peter Gefe ijeaux, one of the party which went out under the command of Col. Stewart, frpni Liberty County, in pursuit of a party of Indians who had taken awaynine negroes from Mr. Smith, Was killed by thel'e Indians, over the Alata jnaha ; four of Col. Stewart's party, among whom was the unfortunate young gentleman above-mentioned, having left the main body in order to return, were fired on, when Mr. Geredeaux fell and wasfcalped—Col. Stewart returned on hearing the report of the gun,but could not discover the lavages. Last Sunday morning, the Post-rider was thrown from off his horse, about jo miles be low Augnfta. The horse ran about J miles • through the woods, and although tracked from the road to the place where he stopped, the mail which was dropped could not be found ; however diligent search was made that and the next day—lt is to be apprehended some dishonest person must have taken up and con cealed it, from the hope of reward.

The Grand Inquest for the diftrift of Charleston, for the May leflion, 1793, present ■Us a grievance and oppieffion, the practice of inagiftrates receiving fees from perl'ons pro secuting offences and injuries, on behalf of the state ; as it may tend to a prevention of ledreft, and the du- adininiftration ofjuftice, unlels those who are injured (many of whom can ill afford it) can have rediefs free of ex pence : and recommend that this prelentment be laid before the legislature and puhlifhed.

Priuteri, HAVING obtaiped a copy of the circular letter from I "the'departirfetit of the Treafuiv, refpecfing the (hips of war and privateers of France, I.fend it to you for. publication— By giving it a place in your paper, you will -pro bably prevent much raifconceptipn and mif reprefentaifion. I must confefs that* I feel no small degree of indignation to tee many peo ple wantonly cenf'uring the conduct of the Executive in this instance, being at the tame tinte'fcotirely unacquainted with every cir* cujnftance that gave i ife to it, and of every prijiciple upon which it is jultifiable. They arg eternally insisting upon-a ft rift neutrality, ♦ntfappear to poilefs no definite conceptions of'tTie true meaning of the term. Would it be an obfei vance of the principle of neutra lity, with reipeft to France, to diflegard a treaty at the very firft occasion which could polfibly demand an observance of it? If France had never been engaged in war, the 17th end 22d articles would have beenjife lefs. But as the period has arrived, which calls for the execution of the engagements ltipu'ated in those articles, would it not a mount to an unequivocal declaration of War with France, to rejirft the validity of them. I tiling it would be proper to publiih the two articles in question—Aster which I shall be much surprized to lee one man of solid.un derstanding disapproving of a rigid adherence to thein 00 the part of America. A.B. (CIRCULAR.) Treasury Department, May 30, 1793. Si*, IT being the opinion- of the executive, that there is no geoeral law of tbe land, prohibit ing the entry and sale of goorfs captured by foreigri powfers at war—and consequently tbat such entry and sale are lawful; except in cales where a prohibition is to be found in the treaties of the United States— It becomes the duty of this Department to make known to you, that the entry of veflels captured and brought into our ports by the ships ot war and privateers of France, and of their cargoes, is to be received in the fame manner, under the fame regulations,and upon the lame conditions, as that of veflels and their cargoes which are not prizes—One of thefa conditions is, of course, the payment or securing the payment of the duties'impoled by law on goodi, wares and merchandile im ported, and on the tonnage of ships and vef lels. But the fame privilege will not extend to »ny ol the other belligerent powers, being contrary lo the 17th and 22d articles of our Treaty with France. I a m, &c. Art. '7.

Norfolk, jnnc 5 At a meeting of the (landing committee of the Republican Socjbtv of Norfolk and Pojif niouth, on thegrl 0 f June, 1793, Resolved, That it is the opinion of this Committee, ihat the Declaration, compri lng an expofiuonof the- fetilimrnts and princi ples upon which this Society has been formed, be published the Norfolk Papers. DECLARATION. WE, the under fig ned citizens, declare as our Unalterable opinion", that the bleffmgs of a jun, nv.ld, and equitable government can only be perpetuated by that puiefpirit of Republican vigilance to which (under favor of the Supreme Governor of the Universe) we owe our prcfent political ease, tranquility and happiness. " That l^e inattention which manv of our fellow-citizens discover towards the deareit rights, privileges and immunities of freemen, is to us matter of serious concern and regret. " 1 hat the exccllenre of a mild representa tive government (affording an examph of the happiness of equal liberty) will excite jealoufics in the minds, and be painful inthe fight of ty rants and their abettors : it does therefore be hove men, who ate experiencing the blcfling* of freedom, to be ever on the watch to guaid a gaii.ft the machinations of those enemies to man kind.' " That the imaginary fecu'rity into which we have been lulled, by our remote fmiation trom the combined del'pois of Europe,' and other conji derations, may havq the mod fatal ten dency ; il not to eieilroy our independence as a nation, at lead to sap the foundation of that glo nous fabric upon which our liberties reft our free and excellent conjlitution. " That it becomes Republicans at all times to Ipeak their fentimenu freely and without re fcrve ; but more particularly at this alarming pci iod when we behold the Tyrants of the world combined, and every engine of despotism em ployed in making a grand effort to crush the infant spirit of Ireedom, recognized by our brethren of Fiinee; whose virtuous exertions (in a caute so lately our own) we cannot a* men, and as Republicans, behold with ind ffe/encr, or contemplate without a mixiure of sympathy and admiration. "That it is a truth, not less notorious than it is to be lamented, that in the bosom of our cournry we have men whose principles and fen- timents are opposed to all free governments, and that such are ju£l obje£ls of suspicion. " That ltrongly impressed with these fer.ti menti, we have conceived it to be our interejl, but more particularly our duty, to lorm this AfTociarion, for the puipofe of ftrengthcmng the bands of Union, and of cherishing republi can feniiments, manners, morals .and affec tions."
