SAVANNAH, Dec. 14. Ext'-aSI of a letter from Angujla, Dec. 4. “ The legislature have allowed all negroes! free or slaves, to come this state from the Weft Indies, or any place elsewhere, under certain reftrictiqns on the free ones :—The reftriftions on the free negroes are, that they {ball, after thirty days refi-. dence in the state, have their names, places of abode, and occupations, re corded in the cieik’s office; Ibould they neglect so to do, they lhall be confined for any time not exceeding three-months, or until they can give t .vo freeholders security for their good behaviour in future.” Extra ft r fa leit r from Angujla, Dec 11. Oa Saturday we received the joyous confirmed accounts of the ge neral defeat of the several divisions of combined despots against the only real republicans in the world. On this continent we have been taught to be -1 eve, that our conftirution breathes more than freedom itfelf, but when I compare it with that of the French, I find we are shackled with nearly as imhli ariltocracy as when under the f!a villi chains of British tyranny. —To- morrow we are to have an ox killed and barbecued on the common :—the governor gives powder to tire a f ti de joye ; no person is to be at it, but thole who are real friends to the re public of France—nor dare a fellow who has been hardy enough to pol lute the name of freedom, or abuse its came, approach the sacred ground.

ToIIENR Y WOOD, efq . nova fktriff of Liberty County. There is, fir, in the moral as well as the natural state of man a point of .depravity, that no remedy can reach, or admonition amend ; a mind that is once loft to the flings of reproach, the tits of confidence, and the pleasures ariling from fclf approbation, in the pradice of honesty, can only be check ed in iiis milchievous pursuits, by the lenience of the judge, or the h ind of the executioner.— Fo this ultimate reward, of such daring delinquency, it was my intention to leave you ; but your boasted merit, proved by a majority, requires a comment : hail your crimes been cf milder hue, you had been fuffered quietly to fink into oblcurity ; in the prelent case the public mind required a facrifice—and it seems, fir, they wilh you led to the altar, with all your appointments a bour yen. You twicecharge the Planter with Ifalfhood ; at firft you beg a fufpenlion ot the public opinion, until you can [bring for ward authenticated document*.

Winn, fixes your price below what is current among the tribe of profeflionals, lo ufeful to unfortu nate adventurers on Blackheath—the Planter has your hand-writing for moft, it not all, the charges exhibited against you : Accusations thus ground ed, will, at the next superior court, present themselves for debate ; and there are lome, who are judges, that believe, the reasoning will be so pointedly addressed to your'feelings, as to fender an irreparable injury to the foundation on which rests the or gans of your hearing—nay, fir, there are those, who albert the fiftulous hand of the executioner, will so taint them, that the pencil of an Apelles, or the ehifel of a Buonaroti, would more effectually remedy the evil, than all the applications of the materia inedica. —With no hope of your amendment, or the moft distant belief that any rea foiling can arrest your progress in the purluit of iniquity, but as a matter of curious enquiry, on which yon owe the public lomc informat on—l would alk, is it nature, or is it education, doctor, that has thus led you, wi’diy devious, from all that is estimable ic man ?
