De ir Sir. The fir'V thing 1 have to commu cate to you mijtl be an explanation of the date ps my letter. The I.e giflature of Malfachufetts, l.ift win ter, upon a petition of the North Parilli, in Brain tree, separated it from the reft of the town, erefted it into a new one, and gave it the name of C)uincy. By this meafuit you fee they have deprived me of my title off Duke of Braintrec," and made it necefi'ary that myfriends fliould write me in fyture, as an in habitant of Quincy. So much for tius Brimborion. Something that interefts*me much more is your obliging letter of the 12th of this month. I flioud have been happy to have seen Mr. Pinckney before his de parture ; but more from individual curiosity, than from any opinion, that I could have given him, any information of importance to him. If hehas the talentof feanchinghearts he will not be long at a 'ofs, if he has not, no information of mine can give it him. The Duke of Leeds, once enqui red of me very kindly,. after his class-mates at Weftminfler school, the two Mr. Pinckneys, which in duces me to conclude, that our new ambaflador has many powerful old friends in England. Whether this is a recommendation of him for the office or not, I have other reasons to be lieve that his family have had their eyes fixed upon the embafly of St. James's for many years, even before 1 was fer.t there, and that they con tributed to limit the duration of my commiffio:i to three years, in order to make way for themselves to fuc- C«ed me. I wish they may find as Dut Sir, much honor and pleasure in it as, IT was only on \%fterday that I they expected, and that the public received the letter you did me the honor may derive from it, dignity and utrl- i to write to me, on the sixteenth of Sep ity. But knowing as I do, the long 1 tember. For the friendly and refpe£t intrigne, and suspeCting as 1 do, ; ful style in which it is written, I pray much Britiflt influence in the ap- J you to accept of my hearty thanks, and pointment, were I in any executive j you shall receive in my answer, all the department, I fhoald take the liber-1 fatisfa&ion in my power to give you. tyto keep a vigilant eye upon them. ] Of the letter which is published in Accept of my thanks, for your ! my name, I have no copy nor any very refleftions on the. state of the union, particular recolledtion.

I have also an indiftinfl: idea it, much less can they be introduced of his writing me a letter, before your where they are not. But a great; embarkation for Europe, expressing a part of the people of America, ap- great anxiety, that an interview should pear to be so determined to have no take place, between you and me, before government at all ; that if you let I you should depart, and an opinion, that them know the whole truth ypu it would be in my power to communi will excite an unmanageable party catc to you some ufeful information, againfl manufactures. ManufaCt- and advice, relative to the fubjeft of ure* cannot much less thrive, with- your million. As I knew of nothing out honor, fidelity, punctuality, pub- \ that could make it neceflaryfor you, to lie and private faith, a sacred respeCt take a journey to Quincy, or for me to to "property, and the moral obliga- go to Philadelphia, it is probable, I tion of promises and contracts ; vir- wrote him something, like the letter, tu£S and habits which never did, and that is published.—This however has never will generally prevail in any been manifeftly either so carelessly copi populous nation, without a decisive, ed or unfaithfully printed, that I must as well as an intelligent and honest refer to the original letter, which, if it government.

I hough I have | a clear idea of the situation I was in, most of the authors of reputation on when that letter was written. In order the subjeCt, both among the French toaccompiilh this necelfary purpose, as and the Ejlglifh, I pretend not to well as I can, it must be observed, that have digested any thing relative to in May, 1795, it was my misfortune it, with, the precision of a master. to be wholly unacquainted with all the But tome it appears, that the ge- gentlemen, who bear the name of Pinck neral intcrefl of agriculture in par- ney.

The continual accession of for eigners will endanger and destroy our peace, if we kmow not how to govern them. They will moreover corrupt our ele&iojis, and tear us to pieces. , Sufficient to the d.fy, 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.

Mcifieurs Freneau & Paine, A Letter copied from a news paper of Baltimore, having been insert led in your Gazette of Saturday last, [ signed John Adams, and purporting from its contents to have been written to | Mr. Tench Coxe, of Philadelphia, j in the year 1 792, wherein are contain j ed some comments on my appointment as 1 rmnijier plenipotentiary to the Court of \ « Great Britain—l think it right at pref j ent only to ft ate, that this letter either is j a fiW-r, calculated for electioneering j purposes, or if genuine, mult have been founded on a mifapprehetifioH of persons. 1 Jus last suggestion 1 infer from fadts, alluded to in ' jhe letter, and from the subsequent nomination of my brother, j ' General Pinckney, to two highly confi dential offices by itsfippofed -writer. j To my fellow citizens of South-Ca rolina, who have so long honored me by testimonies of their confidence, I fliould deem it unnecefiary to urge a lyliable of jujlification from such charges I as are implicated in this production, how ever autheniica^d; 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 cha racters concerned, may be guarded againjl; giving credit, either to the authenticity or jujiice of thi* performance, until the event of an investigation, which I will immediately commence, iliallbe made public. THOMAS PINCKNEY. Philadelphia, October 27th, 1800. that there were more than two. W hen I heard of yoar appointment, I recol lected the conversion with the Marquis of Carmarthen, now.Duke of Leeds, and imagined it probable, that his Lord- Ihip might have intimated dire&ly or indireftly 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 agbeeable. And I now fully believe, that my suspicion of even that kind of influence was wholly unfounded in rea lity, though it had then some color, in appearance. The other insinuation, con cerning 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 re ceived 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 so" the pur " pose of getting rid of me ; that the " million to London Was too good a '\.thir.g for me ; and that the intention " was, as soon as I could be removed, ".to lend a Mr. Pinckney of SouthCa " roltaa in my room." When 1 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 occafioried the sentiment exprefled 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 ths limi tation to three years was inserted. On this occaiion, it is but justice and duty in me to declare, that I have not at this time the smallest reason to believe or fufpe£t, that you or your brother ever folicitcd any appointment under govern ment abroad or at home, that the whole conduft of both as far as it has come to my knowledge (and I have had conside rable opportunities to know the conduft 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 fmcerity of my heart, that I know of no two gentlemen, whose characters and conduct are more deserv ing of confidence. I cannot conclude without observing that we are fallen On evil times— or} evil times indeed are we fallen, if every pri vate conversion is immediately to be betrayed and misrepresented in the news papers, and if every frivolous and confi dential 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 makilig mifchief. I am, -Sir, With great truth and regard, Your friend and humble servant, JOHN ADAMS. The Honorable Thomas Pinckney, Esq. Charleston, South Carolina.
