CHARLES TOWN, South Carolina, April 11.

Extract of a Letter from Ninety Six dated the 9th Instant;

Last Night arrived here an Express from Fort Prince George, with Dispatches from the Commandant there, to his Honor the Lieut. Governor, &c. Our Accounts from thence are, that 47 more Prisoners have been purchased from and delivered up by the Cherokees. 36 of them Soldiers, making in all 67 since Capt. M'Intosh has been there. .... That Talks to and from the Nation were frequent, from and to the Fort, those from the Indians in a pacific Strain: and from the Fort, adapted to the present Circumstances of Affairs. That the Young Warrior of Estatoe was returned from his Incursion to Long Canes, &c. with such Plenty of Cattle, as enabled him to spare 13 of them, which he sold and delivered for the Use of the Garrison (Some Letters Say he made a Present of them to Captain M'Intosh as a Proof of his Desire of Reconcilement). That he pretended he had been down as far as Ninety-Six, and seen many White People, but did not offer to molest one although he could have killed them at Pleasure, and that he was sorry for what had happened, but looked upon the Path to be now straight again, and hoped it would remain so. That amongst other Things, he said, he found that the Nation had given out he was the Cause of the War's Continuance, but they were as much to blame as himself. That the Want of Provisions had made a great Part of the Nation desirous of a speedy Accommodation; and their Eagerness to procure some Cloathing was what had induced them so readily to give up their Prisoners, and (together with the Difficulty of finding them Subsistence) would influence them to bring in the rest soon.
