Extract of a letter from a respectable gentleman, at Providence, to his friend in this town, dated February 28.
"News has been received here this day from Charleston, that our commissioners had arrived at Paris, and been received with tokens of general respect and joy. The information reached Charleston by a ship from London, in a short passage. I have not seen the papers; but the whole will be in print tomorrow. I assure you, however, that such information is really in the Charleston papers."
