How far I have been to blame, in a rencounter with Richard Wayne, fear, a very rcfpeclable Grand Jury for the rCounty ot Chatham have determined, by finding a bill- of indictment againlt him, and throwing out his againlt me. | The merits of the case, have been tried ( X very rcfpeftable Petit Jury, who, u vith'landing the ingenuity of his | .’ oil, have found him guilty.

Asfoon as the remainder of the trials at are Commenced ll.all be determined, ey llull be published—it will then be the power of a candid and impartial ibiic to determine, how far I merit the probrious terms made use 4Df againlt qe by Richard Wayne, fenr. in private ompanies, and by Richard Wayne, junf. ii tlie public News-papers, arid, hand ills ir.duttrioufLy lent tliro uiherent irt:, of the itates. It is painful at any me, to call on the public to decide be veen individuals, but as both the * r aynes have made a public attack 1 ;ainft me, it is a duty incumbent on me appeal to that public which I now >. The attempts they have made to ab my reputation, have been uawar atable beyond measure. The ybung , by calling me in- the News-papers, Raj cat and Coward; and the el ft, by calling hie in all companies, all : opprobious names he could think of, roh a i fwindhtig) gambling, cheating raf /, ana to crown all, a tory fcoundnl. — e ought to have reHedted, that when throws dirt againlt a wall firm as a . ck, fome mull rocoil on himfelf; he tie expects I am in polleffion of the and “is of the State of South Carolina, , ‘ ich for his high misdemeanors, have .ilhed him from the State, and under f- itence of being hanged without benefit pi Clergy, if ever Ue returns. It is paiaful for me to bring up matters, that have been dormant many years—nothing but their unjuftifiable attacks againil rue •vill warrant it. As to the contest I have with Richard Wayne, fenr. about his demand againil the edatc of Paul Porcher, I do declare folemtily, it is not from any hatred, ma lice or wish rodifpute ; but finding Inch glaring inconfiltencies, I could not in jufticeto rnyfeif, as surviving executor and guardian to two orphan children, pass tt without its being brought before a jury. The objections are numerous’- — I (hall only mention one or two to jufti fy mv conduct to therpublic, as I appeal to them, which are in his bill of parcels, an article charged at one price, and in his general account charged only fifty pr. cent. more. With such and more 1 prieties,, the account was font to Mrs. Smith, and in confequencc of a very great intimacy between her and Mrs. Wayne, he had interest enough toper fuade Mrs. Smith to give him a Note for the ballance, as he nau Aatcdir, with lit my privity or consent, and without tnc content of the acting executor, who was then in the town, or near it. Ido not believeciiherofusever saw the note, I pledge my honor I never did to this hour. He had not been in poifeihon of the note many months, when he wrote to Mrs. Smith, to try toperfuade her to coniefs judgment againil the estate, for his demand, in a private manner , when he well knew there were bond and judg ment creditors to a great amount, and his only a book debt. These, gentle men, are thefafts—the proof of which, I have in my poffeflion,. and which ihall, appear whenever the matter is- brought to iifuc. The duty I owe my friends, die pub lic at large and my own reputation, will not allow me to close this address, widt , out observing, that as refpertable a Grand Jury as the County could have, are now fitting* It- is- a duty incum bent on them,toprefcnt Richard Wayne, who holds the important office of Mayor of the City of Savannah,.pro tempore, Alderman for the fame, a inagiftrate for the county of Chatham, having lieen Tied, tried and found guilty of high misdemeanors againil the State, as unfit .to hold the above offices in future. 1 I hear he intends setting up for a mem ber of the legislature, but trufthis fellow citizens \< ill not throw aw ay their luf- Irages on him, Confident of my own uprightness, and that a candid public will judge impartially between us, I fubferibe rnyfeif, their devoted and hum ble servant, * Wm. SMITH. Savannah, QKobcr B th, 1796. BOSTON, September 19. WAR ! SPAIN vs. ENGLAND. By an arrival yesterday from Barba does, we are informed, that a packet arrived there the 19th August, direJt from Gibraltar, with dispatches that Spain had declared war a gainst England. In consequence of which, they were tilting out priva teers at Barbadoes with the gteatelt ex pedition, to cruize againil the Span iards. One privateer had already failed on a cruize before rhe above veflel left Barbadoes. The day our informant leit Barbadoes, fignais were fired at all the forts in the iflaiod, as notice of the approach of a fleet, but whether Englilh, or that of an enemy, was not known, as they were under apprehenftons of a visit irein the Dutch fleet at Surinam. There have lieen fovera! arrivals from Jamaica fmee our lalt. By accounts Irom thence, the illand continues to be very frckly, efpectaily with the Ameri cans there, almolt all the veflels loiihg fome of their hands, and foine all. September 20. Another Engagement, we are told, in the ialt Salem paper, has taken place off Gay-Head, Martha’s Vineyard, be tween an English and French frigate— the Englilh frigate loft her main and mizenmall—was otherways much dam aged, and went into the Vineyard to refit. Capt, Bidder from Newfoundland, in forms, that a French squadron of con siderable force had been cruising on the Banks for fome time, and that a sloop of war had been dispatched to Admiral Murray with the information. SALEM, (Mali.) September 9. The following is a letter sent by an American captain, confined on board his Britannic Majesty’s fliip Monitor, ad drefi'ed to the American mailers at St. Pierre's, Martinique. “ Gentlemen, tc I am sorry to inform, that it is out of my power to come on fliore to fee you, as I am confined on board the Bri tish ship Monitor, a 74, which arrived here yesterday from Fort-Royal,, where they left my ship, though I have been captured for three months, and was.fifit carried to Barbadoes, where they took me on board this ship, a.nd I have been .confined ever since, and all communica tion denied me. They threaten to car ry me to England. I was from Nantz, bound to Guadaioupe, with 73 French paiiengers, men, women, and children — mod of them inhabitants of the illand. They tell me my lhip is condemned— but 1 have not seen any official informa tion on the iubjeft, or any account of her trial—and it is certainly an unpre cedented piece of business, tor- a man to have his property taken from him, and condemned, without knowing for what, or being aiked a single queition about the business. I am kept confined and debarred from feeing any one. My motive in writing this, gentlemen, is to be leech you to use your interell to get me extricated, by petitioning the (JOll -or fome other means. 1 had hoped after the ratification of the celebrated treaty, that we should have been treated with Id's severity ; but, alas ! we have nothing tohope from their civility. Ivly ship’s name, is the American Congress, of Alexandria. Whether her name ex cited the cruelties and indignities I have fuffered, I am at a loss to determine— but heaven grant the time may come, when we lhall put our ihoulders to the wheels. Your obedient servant, <( Jesse Honeywell.*’- Capt. Ropes, the bearer of the above, with a Portland master, went on board the Monitor, and supplied capt. Honey well with every ncceffary he was in want of. The other American captains did not go, it being hinted that it was probable they might all be detained by the commander of the Monitor. NEW-HAVEN, Sept. 20. Last Wednesday morning, a mod Blocking and truly lamentable affair took place in this city. A Mr. Benja min Hayword, a young gentleman be longing to Charleston, South-Caroli na, who had received his education at Yale College, put an end to his cxift ence by (Footing himfelf with a pistol through the head : he by in the great est diitrefs several hours before he expir ed. He W as a young nun who was veri much esteemed by all who knew him He was graceful and polite, affable and engaging ; and a pure philanthopift T hough he left several letters with a confidential friend of his, we have no ,- been able to learn that he gave any rar ’ ticular reasons for his rashness ; but that ; he had long been determined upon it * NEW-LONDON, Sept. i ; . Capt. Bufwell was informed at St Bartholomews, by an American captain* of his acquaintance, diredtly from Mar tinico, that a British vessel arrived at the latter island on the nthult. i n and ftiort palfage from England,, with dis patches for the governor,containing the important intelligence of GREAT BAITAIN Having Declared IVar a gaufi SPAIN.

Norfolk, to a gen tLmanmthis city , datedSf.pt, 12, 1796. “ We have been extremely trcubkdb here for fome time by a squadron, in prefling our citizens and diftrelling our vessels, See. If the Americans do not voluntarily agree to serve the king, they immediately put them, in irons, and then they force them to obedience. The Prcvoyante frigate was in ou r road* the other day, when a letter was sent up by fome of the imprefied hands on board, that there were upwards of twenty men. on board in this situation. Mr. was dispatched immediately, who went on board, and made the ncceffary appli cation, but Was treated with cchtempt by the captain,, faying, that he would not fuffer any man to come on board hia ship to make enquires. He told Mr. - —,- that he had Americans on board, and in irons.,; and that he should keep them until they agreed to serve his ma jesty, in defiance of the President of .the United States, or any authority !
