SAVANNAH, May zs.
We are informed that fix negro men, the
property of James Spalding, Esquire, of the
island of St. Simon, run away lately to St.
Augustine. Mr. Spalding followed them,, and
tequefted the Spanifli Governor to perihtt him
to take bis negroes, but he w*i refufed, the
Governor alledging that he had orders from
his Court to the contrary. While Mr. Spald
ing was at St. Augustine, three run away ne
groes from South-Carolina went in and re
ceived “ PROTECTION,” as it is called
among the Spaniards. The frequent repeti
tion of this unjust and ungenerous conduct,
will not much longer be the fubjeti of re
monstrance ouly.
M‘Gift was brought to town last Monday
evening from Effingham county, and com
mitted to gaol.

We have had mobbifh rimes here these
three or four days p'aft. Some young students
of physic having during the winter, taken up
a number of corpse for fubjefts of anatomi
zations, and not having paid the least refpeft
to family, , age, sex or colour, or te&crecy,
have exposed to the view of New* York, the
raoft barbarous /and waritOn feene that ever
awakened their feelings to the sense of injury
“ On Sunday last as k number of the lads
at the hospital were proceeding in their expe
riments, by some means it got from one to
the other, ahd in a little time near aooomen
■were collefted found the to fire a feene
which struck with horror the mqft hardened
wretch: anatomies hanging, different parts
of bodies, eyes, &c. coffins filled with ex
crements, a hogftiead filled with bones in
pickle, parts of bodies in large kettles boil
ing j here and there a head, art arm, A leg,
a heart! a long table, bloody knives, and a
nauseous flench. These . and others past my
defeription, were exposed to the fight of an
injured community, on their entering the
hospital. Death would have been the imme
diate c°nfequencc, had not the niagtftrates
interposed, and by force put them into goal.
The feelings of all were too much and tdo
justly incensed and hurt to let the matter rest
here; for on Monday morning they allembled
tnore numerous and more enraged than on the
preceding day, for the highthad awakened all
their feelings as husbands, parents, brothers,
and friends. The number of 1 dads of bones,
&c. that were buried, convinced them of the
melancholy truth rff the barbaroil* and inde
cent conduft whrcn had been puffued. They
proceeded to a number of the fufpefted Doc
tors boufes ; to some they did much daniage,
but were prevented from destroying their
Wife by the magistrates; affairs became so
serious towards noon, that some of the mili
tia were ordered up to the gaol; this enraged
the mob, whodifarmed the guard, and broke
their guns. At.funfet the alarm gun was fir
ed at the fort’/when obout ico men assembled
at the city hail, and iharclied in battle array
towards the gaol. When they arrived, the
mob opened and fuffered them to but
soon closed upoh them, and began a smart
action with brick bats and clubs, which
wounded many, and obliged the militia to fire
on then?, but the mob prevailing; they Were
, compelled to retire. Soon, afterwards the
mob dispersed, and behaved pretty peaceably
throughout the night.—Three of the mob wete
killed, aud several wounded. Orders were
f*nt over to Long Island for the militia of one
county to be under arms, who were accord
ingly assembled almost to a man, but they did
not come oveb, their assistance being uunecef
farv, as the mob thought belt not to rifque
another battle.”
A Britifli Print of a late date, fays, “The
return of the Marquis of Buckingham to Ire
land, as Viceroy, gives infinite pfeafure to
the people of that country; his Excellency
will now accomplish what he once began, the
annihilation of a tyrannic ariftocracy.**
