The Republican Society of Charleston

adoption.
Hauthier. " We have spilt our blood
tortlie eftablKhment of American liberty-'—
I think that the Americans ought to do
the fame for us, before we grant them
adoption.
A Citizen. " Before engaging them to
intermeddle with our war, it is neceflary
to underlland one another, to come to an
agreement with them. Ido not fee then,
a more efficacious way for the previous
re-nni.on, than an adoption of their foeiety.
Coilot D'Herbois. " Dispatches are
received by the committee of Public Safety,
informing it, that America has permitted
French veiTels to fell in their ports all
English prizes which they might make.
On a close examination of these dispatches
it appears, that although they carry official
marks, they are not from the American
o-overnment; bnt merely from a consul of
one of the Anglo-American cities, who
being nothing but a commercial agent,
and not a political one, may very likely
have written them from interested motives,
rather than authentic authorization. Ne
vertheless, we Ihould not neglect the ad
vantages which may arise from this ad
vance. I conclude, that we agree to this
adoption." RefolrccL

ami ignorance—that mtereft has rendered

the work of Pttcfts, and that they them
frfcrs, are erery where, cither, wicked or
■fed upon liv fa'ifehood or tyranny'.
I bcliuve above all, That Jultice is True
Rtligion—and that no other wuilhip is
nec»flary on the earth, but the practice
of Trite Virtue. I believe also, that Hea

TeAion of having been virtuous. I ren
der this solemn homage to Truth—Fana-

anathemas. Legislators ! A man mull

lend, to the triumph of I'hilofophy and
tlie l.iberty of Nations, that there is still
a difference between a Priest and an Ha-
nest Man. As for me, I have made my
choice, and I resign to the State a pen

old, and without any fortune, I demand
from the nation the means of having ii>

RECAPTURE OF TCULOK by -.he
French. Captain Brown does noi ;ecol
left the cxatt' time ot Toulon's being tak
en, but informs, that the report was pre
valent terv days previous to his failing—
When the news firll arrived, it was not
credited ; but before his departure, there
was not the least doubt of its being true,
as confirmations, from various quarters,
had been received at Guernsey. The Eng
liih on their leaving the harbor, set fire to
several fail of French veflcla, not being
able to take them off.
He likewise confirms the account of
General O'Hara, with the men under his
command, having been taken, some days
before the Recapture of Toulon.
Extract of a letter from a gentleman in
Newport,
" A young man, by the name of Dani
el Allen, jun. who failed for the Indies 3
years ago, with capt. Jacob Smith, was
drowned at the city of Canton, Oct. 19,
1792. The effects contained in his chest
are lodged at Mr. John Brown's store in
Providence, where his friends may obtain
them by making application. It is defjr
able that this information should bepublifli
ed in the public papers, as it is not cer
tainly known where his parents reside. It
is faidbv one, they belonged to Albany,
by another to Springfield, and by a third
that his fether kept a public house near
the springs of Saratoga."
On Wednesday the 19th inft. departed
this life, Lawiance Korthright, Esquire,

the said account.
Another letter fays, the Englilh burnt

that they quitted the place in fitch haile

he laid on the table a few days since, the

and decision thereon, the report of the
Secretary of War, on the petition of

-it is in faVor of the petitioner, but ftatcs
that the circumstances are limiW to those
attending the cafe of Cel. Ely, in whose
favor two bills had puffed the House, tho'
they were afterwards negatived by the Se
nate.
It was moved that the report be accept
ed, and that a committee be appointed ley
bring in a bilf conformably to the Secre
tary's report, so far As refpefts the certifi
cate therein mentioned—To this motion
some opposition being made, it was at

A representation was rend from the
pilots of Ocracock Bar—and referred to
the Secretary of the Treafnry.
M. Fitzlimons moved that that part of
the President's message which relates to
the arms and military stores cf the United
States, be referred to a committee with
inftrudions, to report whether any, and
what additions are necessary to be made
to any part of the fame—with the pro
bable cxpence of such addition*.
Mr. Baldwin brought forward A motion
which was read and agreed to, that the
committee appointed to enquire into the
tranfa&ions of the treasury department be

In committee of the whole on the bill
For the relieff>f Lucy Clark—Mr. Bourn
in the chair.
This bill provides for granting a sum of
money which was due to her late husband
Thomas Clark deceased, for public fcrvi
ces and for the hire of a negro slave, for
whose time in the public service a bond
had been recovered against the petitioner.
The bill was opposed, as contravening
the ast of limitation, and as opening, a
door to innumerable other claims now bar
red by law—if taken up, it ought to be
done on a general principle.
It was supported as providing for a
cafe Handing on its own merits, attended
with peculiarly unfortunate circumstances
that bore extremely hard on the petitioner
and these were principally imputable to
the officer who had neglie&ed to make the
proper returns in season.
The committee on motion, at length
rose, and were discharged from any fur
ther proceedings thereon.'
It was then moved that the bill (hould
be re-committed to a special committee.
This motion did not obtain.
It being moved by Mr. Nicholas, to
take into consideration the confidential
communications of the President of the
United States, for the p::rpofe of deter
mining whether they {hall be made pub
lic—The galleries were cleared.
A Correspondent observes, that where
a question can poflibly arise, whether a
thing submitted in confidence ought to be
made public or not, it is instead of a tuou
fand arguments in favor of secrecy.
