CHARLESTOWN. (S. C.) Aug. 7.
The Editors of the Royal Gazette, in order to apply themselves the more closely to the settlement of their private affairs, are under the necessity of discontinuing their periodical labours for the entertainment and information of the public. Should any intelligence, however, that reflects honor on the British name, be received before the day arrives on which that direful event shall happen, the dread of which now fills every loyal breast with terror and dismay, they trust that many will be found in this garrison, patriotic enough to hear with pleasure of the success of their country, and to rejoice at whatever shall promote the general good, while they, though a part of the same whole, are labouring under every species of distress. In such cases, the Editors of this paper shall not be found deficient in the performance of what can be required of them as a duty, which gratitude will demand of them, in return for the many favors they have received from a generous & indulgent public.
