•.' . t ogfit wounded, two or three of those mortal ly.” 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. ~ * 1 f i A V G US T A, June 7. .

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.** The lhip Mary, Payne, from Bristol; (hip Carolina Packet, Capt.
