It was taken from the jawbone of a ikeleton found in Kentucke in 1784, and was the f'mallelt tootji of three. The socket of the thigh appeared laige enough to contain a 3 2 pound ball.'

A bout twelvemonths after the peace, Governdr Mayo received a peremptory mandate from his Court, ordering all Protestants to leave the Spanifli government in America. The Governor humbly remonstrated, that such an edifr, carried into impartial execution, would leave his Majeftv’s settlements on the Miffi fippi naked and defencelefs; and after much explanation, the rigour of the mandate was a little foftened, by allowing all Froteftant fcttlers to remain that were there in 1782. A gentleman, who was unfortunately oue of those that were proferibed by this, of an en larged tram of thinking, being unwilling to leave a harvest of ftiiniug dollars, waited upon the Governor with an offer, that he was wil ling to quality himfeif as a member of the Homan Catholic church, and a fubjett of the King of Spain. His Excellency politely com plimented him on the feimencyof his allegi ance, and observed, that it was an easy bufi »efs, being nothing more than to make affi daVit—that his parents were Catholicks, and fubjerts of Spain—that he was educated in the fame principles and allegiance, which he bad uniformly fuppprted, aud meaut to con tinue such during his life. This pill being bitter to j wallow y and hard of digefticn y was declined, and the applicant left New-Orleans, not without calling many a longings lingering look behind, SAVANNAH, May 28.

On Wednesday liiorning, as soon as Dr. Le Conte’s negroes turned out of the fort, the Indians attempted to leize on them.
