Letters of the 2d of April, from Carolina, mention, that Major Hyne, taken in a late excursion of the enemy, is paroled, but that Mr. Pendleton is committed to the provost. He is not, however, treated with that rigour which he would in all probability have experienced some time ago; no thanks to the mercy of our enemies! The same letters add, that Gen. Leslie opened a correspondence with Gen. Greene, on the subject of the estates of refugees lately confiscated, by an act of the Assembly, proposing to leave safe and inviolate all American property, within the lines, on condition of their not carrying the act into execution: Gen. Greene declared this to be entirely out of the line of his power; in consequence of which, interviews took place between Leslie's officers and gentlemen of consequence in the State, but without producing any effect; and we are told that the affair is now before Congress.
