ICX/F. are informed, that week before last, the
* Rebels at Augulta hanged John GooJgame,
Willfam Simmons, and one Honeycut, and d:f
armej and placed guards over 17 others, who were
made prisoners at the surrender of the fort, and
compelled to enter into the service of Congress,
‘Lhe reason of this procedure fas we have heard)
Was, that it it had been difeo cred these poor men
knew ofan intention Capt. Brantley and fome other
Loyalists of Brier Creek had of furprizing the vir
tuous Nathan Brounfon, his Council, and the As
sembly, and bringing them prisoners to Savannah.
Last Saturday fe’rinight Capt. Brantley, with
five men, attacked a foraging party of the Rebelsj
consisting of a Lieutenant and seven privates,
within a mile of tlre -poll at Spirit Creek, killed
. one man, drove the.reft into Twiggs’s oump, and
brought off five horses.

over the many direfulconfequefices that have hap

ther had taken a little airing at sea, infteud of be
ing fall moored in port, such and such a number of

been this day in Britilh polfcffioa that are now in
the hands of the enemy, and many a worthy inh .-
bitant of this country would not have to lament,
that, when they retire to rest in the evening, they
know not but they may be awaked by a dagger at
their throat before morning; and yet, in thiirde
plorable, helplefi situation, people are not, it teem*,
to have the common consolation of expreffiliv their

ons for the navy or army.
I have as much (or perhaps mortal real refpeft
and elleem for both navy and army,% the cham
pions above alluded to ; but when I halve said this,
I do not mean to preclude myfelf from speaking
my fentiinents freely and candidly when I find it
bee diary and pertinent, and I am fore no gentle
man, either of navy or army, will ever take amiss
my doing so while I keep within the bounds of dis
cretion and good manners.
If we will take upon ua (and who does not?J to
speak freely, and very freely too, God knows, of
the foil Minillers of State, and the firff Generals
afot Admirals of the age, are we to be debarred
from exprelfing our sentiments on the condud of
those of more lubordinate chara&ers ? Such tame,
timid, and dallardly reftridions, may well foit the
abject Hires of a defpotick government, or the de
luded fubjeds of an American Congress, but God
forbid they Ihould ever be countenanced by the
free fobjedts of the Britilh empire.

The Attorney General (hortly

Langdale had sustained by the riots of

City Magistrates, particularly the Lord
Mayor, for not giving their aftiffeance
at that fnelancholy period ; by which

Jury withdrew, and in about an hour,

for the Plaintiff of 18,729!. iod. havfo

Government, insurance offices, &c.
During the time the above Jury were
locked up the trial of Mr. Charleton,
of Coleman Street, for recovery of the
damages he sustained in the late riots,’
came on. His damages were, for
house and furniture, laid at something
more than 12,000!. Evidences were
called to prove, that the mob entered
the house, conveyed away the furni
ture in carts, and that it was there set
lire to, and the house destroyed. Mr*
Recorder would not trouble the Jury
with more than one observation, which
was, that ho proof had been given -
that more than one cart load of good*
was burnt in Moorfidds *, he ffioulcf
therefore leave it with them to reflect,
whether the rest might not be confifo r
dered as ftokn goods, and consequent
ly not included in the aft relative to

under the meaning of the a<ft. Mr*
Justice Buller said a very few words, re
minding the Jury, that they had no e
vidence before them of the goods being
all destroyed-, they would turn that
circumstance in their mind, and give
a verdi 6l accordingly.
