HOUSE OF REPRESENTATIVES,
TURSD4V. NOT »j.
The following neffage was frovi
the Lieutenant Governor, by the Secretary
of State :
To the honorable the Speaker and Members
ot' the House of Hepieientatives.
Gentlemen,
AotißtAßi.r to the conflitotion of this
Hate, it* authorities are now met at the feat
of government, for the dispatch of public
bufinrfs ; but the gentleman who filled the
executive office at the close of your last ses
sion is gone. Kutledge is no more ! With
and other itlultrious personages
dear to America, for * fei ies of long tried
and virtuous lervicesrhe hath departed. At
his manners were pleasing he has been re
gretted ; at his lite was ufeful to humanity,
he has been publiciy mourned, and long,
very long, I tiuft will his memory be heli
dear, to all who now, enjoy, or who for ages
I hope will continue to pofTefs those blef
lings flowing from American Independence,
v hich his labours, under God's providence,
a/Tided to obtain.
In consequence of this unexpe&ed cala
mity, the duties which he was entiufted to
execute, conrtitution.illy vetted in me; and
I was immediately notified by the Secretary
•f the State to enter on the This i
was enabled to perform, as 1 had previously
qualified before you when eledled Lie«te
nant Governor, and in a few days after his
decease, 1 repaired to the city of Charleflon
f«r that purpose.
Here I found that the illnefa ef the Go
vernor had unavoidably retarded public af
fairs, particularly ai relating to the appaint.
ment and commifliormig- of nil public officers
throughout the Hate ; one ftieriff only of
the new eleftLn was in coirtniitfion, and all
the other officers conelted with tbe Judicia
ry department, required to be without delay
placed in their relpe&ive stations, or, other
wile the fii ft fittings of tbe courts under the
late Judiciary laws could not have taken
place. My endeavours to this point were,
for the most part fucreftful; and the judges
of the couits of law performed their lpring
Circuit, holding courts throughout the state
except in Tome few inftances,where commiT
fions were received too late, or some error
tiiijjht have happened 111 drawing Juries.
Upon the whole, however, I felicitate you
ton this firft commencement under the new
judiciary system } and I earnestly hope,
that wiih your support, it will be the means
of juftiee biing better adminil'ered, and of
its being brought nearer the homes of the
citizens of this state, than has heretofore
been done. The courts of county through
out the state tould not be organized, so as
to enable the judges to commence their
circuit at the timeJirft contemplated in the
law, as, from applications not being made
for the office of commiiTtoners in each of
the courts, time was necOTary for fearcbing
out suitable per'fons to accept appointments
thereto ; without which, the business if the
courts could n6t be performed. The court
of equity, however, for the diftridls of
Charleston, Colleton, and Beaufort, held
their firft fittings at Charleston in May last,
going through much important business;
and since that time, the officers both of the
Courts of law and equity, have fully enter
ed on the duties of their refpeflive offices ■,
evincing, that although the justice of this
state may have hitherto in some refpefls
been flow, it is nevertbeUfs fuie-, and that
from henceforth a bright profepeft is pre
sented before us, of fuiiafele dispatch in
legal concerns, than which nothing is more
honorable to a slate, or ntccllary for the
welfare of its citizens.
While beneficial consequences result from
our prelent judiciary fyllem, other advan
tages arising therefore are already perceived
4s enabling the people the better to know ,
and ftjpport governmental authority, with
-all those advantages of civilisation and
infcrjpajioh conrre&ed therewith. To!
further this fjooti work- permit me to invite
your early aUon to the education of our
youth throughout the (late. For as all good
governments are founded on education and
pat-riotil'm, so legislative attention cannot
be better betlo'ued, than by encouraging
these defirabk okj:£ts. 'I he firlt leads to
the knowledge of one'; country, hergovern
ment, and to all rights incidental to her
welfare ; the second. originates at aa eirly
tnoment, that national arelur which leads to
the mull honourable a Aims, and blinds in
f\veet union the citizens of a slate together.
Hence education, combined with proper
political information, and formalities, make
so deep an impreflion on the minds of youth,
that when they grow up to manhood, tbey
are ever to be relied on in times of emer
gency. Foreign influence of whatever
kind, will then difctiargc its fhafts of cor
ruption with unavailing tendency, and when
(Irangers flnll boast oi the advantage* or
perfections of dillant countries, and (hall
recommend alterations in our laws and cus
toms conformably thereto, a laudable jea
lousy will be excited, which will lead to
c.iutious invefliguion, and will serve to
bind us to our country the more. By this
prinrij-le, the heioes ot'patt times long pre-
I'erved un'.arriifhed the liberties of their
refpe&ive dates; and it was not until this
principle wa« difiolved, an engine ever play
ed off by cVafty ambition, that their govern
ments were subverted. public I'chools,
then, eal'y of accels to the poorelt class of
the community, are these national benefits
to be derived ; to reap these advantages,
the citizens of Carolina have a claim upon
your attention and generality in behalf of
their children, and I cannot recommend the
inilitution of thele public seminaries on ;
proper principles, too much to your leriou:
coelideration.
It is a matter of nati3nal joy to find
that so valuable a fhtple as cotton it now j
.added to the prodsce j>f this (late. Its in
troduction as an export, has been but of late
years, bat, on trial, it has been found to
answer in all high land fr.itations, and, ab
indigo and tobacco bee-'me in lels demand,
to ensure an handforre re urn in their room
to the iaduftry of our inhabitants. Under
this influence the planting of cotton en
encrcalo innutllt both in the lower <k upper p*rr»of
the slate and in value it has already I'urp'tfT
ed any of our other ftaoles, and it this year
| the exports <if cotton from the port ot
I Charleston alone, amounted to fix millions
| four hundred & fix'.y thfee pounds weight,
j P,>flefling so valuable an acqutfition, it is
time lome I egiflatire measures be taken to
guaid against any frauds reljpefting it, and
to enlure, as n uch as they be, its being sent
; to market in good order and condition ;
and I recommend such conlideiation to
j your particular attention.
! With great pleafnre I have also to in
! form you. that not only this slate, but the
; United States, at present enjoy an interval
of less foreign interruption, than has been
1 experienced for several years pall, a calm
has ensued respecting ourselves, which I
hope will end in universal peace ; and
although our Envoys to France have not
yet, as far as we know officially complet
ed the ends of their million, this much
has been elfedted, that our Government
in them has been refpefled and that our
armed vesT Is of marque, which hereto
fore were obliged to carry on commerce
with foreign powers at a great rifle and
rxpence, now traverse the ocean from
Europe to America, unarmed, Ringing
valuable cargoes, and protected alone by
the American flag which they bear. Com
merce will thereby be encouraged, and as
the merchant now pays lels in in ranee and
freight, so the planters arid farmers have a
right to expe£t mo:e for the produce oi
their industry.
But although tjveir bieflings at present
attend us, yet ( light we not by any tn.ans
to be rendered thereby inattentive to thafe
duties, which a prudent regard to our gene
ral tranquility obviously firggeft, for, a be
coming vigilance may prevent those dan
gers, which an indolent feeurity may other
wise invite. The militia and patrole laws
will not therefore escape your attention,
amendments to which iu foine refpe£ts, I
am persuaded you will find neceflary to make i
during your present f liion. And when I !
fliall tianfmit you a return of the military )
(lores contained in the arfeOaU and maga
zines of this (lave, I trust you will take r.est-
Curff to supply luch wants therein as the
publia fafety may require.'
By the report of the comptroller of the
revenue and finances of this Hate, which I ,
Uiall have the honor of transmitting to you. j
you will find your expectations have been |
well realized, as refpeiUng the benefits j
which would be derived from the eflablifh
mens; of that office. A new life and vigotfr
has taken place in all departments over
which its influence extended, public monies
have been called in to a very large amount
and thereby many debts which were pre
carious, or in a little time would have been
loft are saved and on the firll day of October
lall, a balance remained in the treal'ury for
three hundred 6c two thoufandfour hundred
and fift) eight dollars, 88 cents, fulrjeci
to any directions you may uiipofe, When
such are the advantages which you this day'
polTels, I cannot but draw your attention
to the oflieer who is the head of that de
partment, whose iudurtry in the duties of
his liation have to my knowledge been
indefatigable and unceasing, and whose
zeal for the public service although great,
has always been guarded by the prudence
and discretion, which never led him to
overflep the boundaries of law, or to swerve
1 from what he imagined the true interelt of
his country.
With the means and opportunities
you now poflefs, much may be done for
the public fcrvice ; much to relieve the
local inconveniences unHcr which many
citizens labor at present. Various parts
of the flats are so far from a market, &

the expenccs of carriages thereto are To
great, as to discourage the efforts of a
well meant industry. Hence rrnny
farmers in these situations raise little
more than n ceffaries for their own con
sumption; they have not even an induce
ment to give their lands that attendance
which otherwise they wo»ld be invited
to perform. As opportunities permit,
to open the inland navigation, to encou
rage the industry of individuals, & from
the very mountains to lend down the
produce of this state, an intimate con
nexion with commercial advantages, is
one oftliedeareft privileges of legisla
tive power ; ar*d one, which I trait you
will hasten to exercife,by all constitution
al means within your controul.
Intimately connected with this, are
the eftablilbment of manufactories,
which, according to the obje£ts of their
institution, may either prompt the
growth of articles around, which for
want of demand are now raised only in
fma 1 quantities, or they may encourage
the growth of new articles, diredt to a
better husbandry, and thus afford better
opportunities of comfort to the people,
should you think proper to alter our
criminal code, and make it less capita!,
an accession of means towards the efta
blilhment of manufactories may be pro
duced by enacting, that persons guilty
of nferior crimes, be condemned for a
certain term to labor tnerein ; thus obli
ging them, by their lervices, to make
some compensation to a society whom
they have injured.
TliWe, anu miny other ballings, may
be derived from your exertions, of the op
portunity! you have, be induftripnfly put
l'ued. A certain portion of bulin fs, how
ever, can only be perforir.cd in the iliort
space of your ctirtomiry feiiion. The
particular communications which by
the coalVitution of this ftatc, and
my public station, 1 am charged to make,
(hall be transmitted you witk all pojfible
dispatch. And may the Great disposer of
Events, dire£t your councils, and invigorate
yonr raeafurcs, promoting the pradlice of
morality, and increasing the happiness and
lafety of our country. Withg-cat refpedt

SALEM, December ii.
Late from ALGIERS c.nd GIBRALTAR.
On Tuesday arrived at this port, the ship
Brutus, William Brown, commander, in 3a
days train Gibraltar, and 40 from Algiers.
Ciputn Brown informs, that the United
States frigate Giogge Washington, captain
failed far Gofiftantinnple 011 the
19th of October ; having on board lUe Al
getine General of Marine and I'uite, with
presents, £cc. foi the Grand Seignior. The
Dry of A'giers, by force, compeiUu captain
w perform this lirvice, and
threatened, in c.-.fe of refnfal, War to the
United States, and Slavery to the Officers
and Ca-w of the George Washington. The
Dey also infiftrd, that the fliip Brutus, cap
tain Brown, (hould unlade, and go to tije
Ifie of liticdes, for a carjjo of Turks—llo
pay or freight to be allowed—but the voy
age to be considered as a favour granted by
the United States. Through the influence
of the American Consul, Mr. O'Brien, and
the flop's being private propeity, and having
a prnlhable cargo on board, she was crxcultd
from this frvvicr. Captain Brown embrac
ed this favourable moment, fearing a further
requisition, and quit Algiers, on the :sth
of Oftober. Captain Brown brought dis
patches to tiie Secretary of State, coutaining
the particulars of this extraordinary affair.
—Mr. O'Brien, the Consul, and Captain
Bainbridge, had remonflrated, but were ob
liged to comply, to prevent a move leiious
difficulty. Two days out from Algiers,
Captain Brown was brought to by the Br'-
tilli brig Carmelia ; the Lieutenant of which
informed—that Ihe was bound for Egypt,
with dispatches from Lord Keith ; and that
his Lordfliip, with thr fleet and tranfportii
under his command, wasdeflined for Egypt.
On arriving at Gibraltar, no one was per
mitted to land from the Brutus, because she
was from the Barbary coast—-but an Ameri
can, a resident there, came along fide, and
informed—that the French • marched into
Lfghorn on the 10th of O&eber, agreeably
to a flipulation in the Treaty with the
Emperor—that the inhabitants were much
ex ifperated at the measure, and that it had
excited considerable commotion, in that
unfortunate city The day the Brutus
arrived at Gibraltar, an American ship
owned by Murray and Mumford, ot New-
York, failed, and was captured by some
Spanish Gun Boats in a few haurs—lhe had
previonfly been boarded by the Fame Boats,
and cautioned entering Gibralter, it
being declared in a state of blockade by his
Catholic Majesty—she however did enter
and f.-ll her cargo of Flour—she wr.» carried
to Aljreziras, and would probably be con-'
demned. The Gentleman also informed,
that the Plague &t Cadiz continued its ra
vages. and that it had spread into the inte
rior rf Spain, that it was at Malaga ; and
that in consequence the Enghfli at Gibraltar
were very ftrifl in their quarantine, regula
tions.—The next day Capt. B. took advan
tage of the Convoy of two Frigates, which
had under their prote£lion 38 t ran (ports,
most of them full of troops, bound for
Lifbon—before they got through the Gut,
n Welterly wind sprung up, which obliged
the whole Fieet toput intrr the Bay of Tute
an, on the Barbary Canst—sound there,
(even Sail of th« Line, and 45 Transports
with mere troops. Next day was joined
by Lord Keith, with four more fail of the
Line, and a number of Frigates. The fleet
all that day and nigh; were busily employ
ed in watering, not being able to procure
supply at Gibraltar, owir.g.to the dry fnafon.
Next day failed with part of the fleet for
Lisbon, leaving Lord Keith with the residue,
and most ail ihe troops, at Tutean Bay—
fiom whence it was conjectured he was to
fail for Egypt. Capt. Brown left the fleet
that night. f
While at Algiers, Captain B. procured
the following information.
SZctcb of Algerine Spoliations for tbe last
two years.
Twenty-Seven fail of Neapolitans, Sici
lians and Matce'V, having Britifli Paflports
from Lord Keith—velTels and cargoes con
demned—crews, 215 condemned to flavtry,
churned by the Englifli, and not given up.
Seventeen Fail of Grcrks—veflels, cargoes
and crews condemned j tlie Greeks employ
ed as (laves, and after a fciVice of 15 months
given up to the Grand Seignior.
Thirteen fail of Imperialists, valued at
one million of dollars—veflels and cargoes
condemned ; crews given up to the Grand
Seignior.
At Tusis, they have taken 11 Danish
vefftls, valued at fix hundred thousand dol
lars.
At Tripoli they have captured 24 fail of
Swedes.
A Danilh Frigate by mistake chafed an
Alpci ioe Corsair afliore near Tunis; for
which the Dsnifli Government will have to
pay to, the Dcy eight thousand and to hi?
Miniflers twenty thousand dollars !
Three hundred and lixty eight French
men were made Slaves in July last at Al
giers, but were released at the conclusion
of the Peace with France.
The Spanish Confyl was 35 days in chains
on account of the French taking the brig
Bathaw. Spain returned the brig and crew
to Algiers, accompanied with presents to
the amount of 60,000 dollars—which re-j
leafed the poor Cun.fuJ.
Tie fallowing remarks on the above, are
made by the .Editor of the Salein Impar
tial Register.

Government of the United States will be
obliged to reiinlrtirfe the Dey all damages

Majefly will outer his corsairs to captufe

Among the pre farts f~nt to the Grand

The George Wc.skingtcn failed on tfis
19th of Oftober, upon, her nau voyage,
and may return to this country possibly in
July nest. She had carried out to the Al
gerine Government large supplies of Skorfg,
which were received on account of the an
nual ftipul.ited payments from the United
States. The English had offered a frigate:
for this purpose, but the Dey did not like
to trust them, for fear they would secure
the treafore to thernfelves, as there had
been a fcrioiis mifurrdrrfUnding with them.
Several D;nifn vessels were forcibly taken
into po!Ti ffi in,- and ordered for the Isle of
Rhodes upon a similar business with the
Walliingt.m.
The ijagljlli Co-nful was at firft refufed

Notwithßanding the treatment Capt.
