JOHN MOREL. SAVANNAH, Oftobcr n. Mr. Printer, I T is well known that, besides the port or inlet of Savannah, there arc in this province seven others, viz. JVaffaw, -QffitkiWy St. Catherine's or Sunbury, Sapclo, St. Simon's,. St. And rew, and St. Marys, all which arc e~ qually good (indeed the molt of them better and fafer) as that of Charleftown in South Carolina, having easier access and greater depths of water on their bars, and molt excellent anchoring grounds within; but although there are many inhabitants already fettled, and many more wish to fettle, on and near the lands adjoining these southern inlets, yet so it is fteps vet. Taken, nor no means used, to afford security or proteftion anywhere beyond the limits of Savannah river, If a galley, or gallies, have at times been sent to protest places molt exposed to danger, we have all Teen how fopn they have been ordered tlfewbere ; and if troops have been placed here we have seen them' too ordered away from us, and the country everywhere left open to the cruel insults and depredations of the mod abandoned mifereants that ever existed in any age of the world. Much was expefted from the Mer chants, and it has been recommended to them,, it seems, to fend vefßls here to load with cargoes of lumber and na val (lores for the King’s yards in the Weft Indies: But what can Merchants do, what can any set of ipen do, when their (hips and vcffels are left m the manner they have been, at the difpofii of every Rebel galley or row-boat that chose to come amongst us ? It were to be wilhed that those whose business it more immediately concerns would pay fome little attention to the above hints; they are not thrown out in an evil hour, or with any design of Towing the feeds of diffention, as fotnt will be very ready to find out; they have a good and well meant tendency whatever may be said to the contrary [ and if hints of this fort Ihould not have the desired effeft, then, indeed, the matter n\ay go through another chan nel. y Sunbury, 28th Sept. 1781. We are well allured that a number of families, driven from their fettle, ments on the Natches, Baton Rouge, and other parts in Weft Florida, were coming through the Indian Nation on their way to this province, and that they meant to have petitioned fqr lands in lome of our southern parilhes, but hearing that they were likely to be in no better state of fan ity there than on the Banks of the Mifllfippi, they have for the present let themselves down in various parts of the Lower Greek f'uerjajriaft. aV three o,’rlock in the afternoon, a number of the inhabitants of this province gave a genteel enter tainment to his Majesty’s Land and Sea Officers, and many other Gentle men, at the State-house, in comme moration of the remai kable defeat of the. French King's army commanded by Count d'Estaing, and the Rebels Under Lincoln, before the lines of this place, by the (mail but brave army of M ijor General Prevoft, on the morn ing of the 9th of Oftober, 1779.

I WOULD willingly attempt to draw this Bow of Ulyffcs with the gentlemen who appeared lately in your Gazette for arnf again ft inJi [criminate depreciation, bttt for the present Tfliail mily potr lilh a Political Creed ; if it is not orthodox, I lhall be obliged to any of yourcafiiillicaJ readers to point out the errors, as I intend to make it a foundation for fome futu;e effhv. I believe in the jullice and clemency of hjs moft sacred Majesty George the Third, that he is of right my lawful King, and to abjure him would be, in me, an unpardonable crime: That a few of the many persons who took the Oath of Abju ration during the Rebellion in this province were aft.uated by fear more than difaftCftion; and a de bility of inind painted the tniferies of exile in such dreadful colours that they fliuddercd at the thought of eviL which did not cxilt in experience: That the men who Raid without gulping the bitter pill were so lucky that not more than one of these in cidents ftvould be expefted in a long life : TlpE needfity and choice, loyalty and rebellion, virtue and vice, affluence and poverty, have not the fame meaning ; That the advocates for vidifcriminate depreciation , who would blend them together, have not duly weighed the confluence of endleL law suits, contentions, and poverty of the few divided inhabitants, who fhouid be united in One comiTUJU inlterell by every political means that can be dcvif ed: That Loyalilts who have been exiled, and their efiat©6 101 l by it, are not upon an equal foot* ing with those that remained behind ana had tha advantage of proteftion, making money by plant* ing, and by divers other means, which the time# afforded an ample choice of, and enabletkfHem IQ pay the depreciation, and to iccover it fioin others, while the Lnyalilts, who were compelled to receive Rebel money for good debts, and to pay it away before their departure, have no rtfource; they cannot recover k from hbfentees, who paid it to them by compulsion, while the others could (as can be proved) wrth impunity refufeit; and if the abfentecs become fubjefti in future, they me a):Cady beggared with attachments and judgment.*! j with Uuth I can affirm, that for near 20001. lterling, so
