HIS Honour the Commandant haying, yesterday, acquaints
ed the Board, that it was the wi'fh of the Honourable Lieute
nant-General Leslie that some mode might be devised to afcertai,
the number of negroes in town, and their levered owners particularly,
and that tickets or passes might be granted them from some pub'lick
office, and, from time to time, renewed, that their numbers and
owners might be constantly known : And the Commandant having
informed the Board, that a iimilar arrangement had already, taken
place in the army, and would, he apprehended, be attended with
many advantages, if adopted amongff the inhabitants: Ihe Boaru
were pleased to.order, that all (finers of slaves in town, or their re
presentatives, do, on or before the firft day of May next, deliver in
to Col. Robert Ballingall, the Commissioner of Claims, an cxad
lift of the number of their slaves, with their names, lex and ages: And
Col. Ballingal, who will attend at his office, No. 51, in Queen
ftreet, every day (Sundays excepted) irom 9 o clock in tne fore
noon till 12 o'clock at noon, will furnifh them, gratis, with tickets
or paffet for their Slaves, which will secure them from being appre
hended as vagrants; And fucli Slaves as are found in town, with
out such tickets, or proper ones from Some other publick depart
ment, after the eighth day of May next, will be apprehended as
Vagrants, and employed upon the publick works: And all free niu
httocs and negroes are directed to apply to Col. B.iiri.INFALL for
passes, to prevent their being taken up as vagrant flycs. she Board
recommend to the inhabitants'll ftrid observance of this regulation,
as it will tend to fccure their Slaves, and prevent their being clan
destinely taken away; and also to diftingidni tnem from those of the
Rebels, which are intended to be employed in the publick depart
ments, in order that those of the Loyalists in that Service, whose
owners are desirous of taking them out of that employ, may be
freftored to them as soon as their places can be Supplied by the others;
and will, in general, promote the better government of that class of
people. By the Board,

SAVA NN A 11, (Georgia) April 25.
ON the 7th of this month ten Creek Indians, having crossed
the Akitamaha on their return to the Nation, fell in with
a party of 17 rebels, under the command of a Continental
A ajor Moore, at Ried's Bluff. Moore cameup to them at a
log house with his men dressed in red, told them he was a Bri
tilh officer, thook them by the hand, and said he was glad to
fee them. Supposing that the Indians were now in his power,
tins peifidious, treacherous, rebel villain, ordered his men to
fire upon them, by which one was killed, and four were
wounded. Rouzed by a sense of their danger, the Indians
returned the fire, killed Moore, a Capt. Smith, and two offiers,
and, by an-almost incredible exertion, routed the whole party,
and drove them into the river, from which it is believed few,
if any, have escaped.
On the iith instant 65 mounted rebels, under the command
of Paddy Carr and one Robert Sallet, crossed the Alatamaha,
and marched to New Hope plantation, to intercept feme
boats under the charge of Capt. Cameron of the King's Ran
gers. 'I he rebels having inhumanly butchered in cold blood
one Hoover, a Loyal Refugee, at the house, took poR near the
plantation. Capt. Cameron having received information of
the enemy's intention, and perceiving them formed, landed
with eight of the Rangers and about 30 of the Cherokee and
Creek Indians; being joined by eight Choctaws on Iris march,
he immediately attacked, touted, and pursued the Rebels two
miles. 1 he enemy loft many horse, and bytheir own accounts
14 men ; of the soldiers and Indians not a man was either kil
led or wounded.—On the x^th Capt. Cameron difeovered a
Rebel privateer (loop, of 12 guns, near the Eland of St. Ca
tharine, which had landed part ot her trew, whom he attack
ed and obliged to take refuge in their .boats under cover of the
sloop's guns; on their getting on board, the privateer imme
diately weighed and flood to sea; the lots the Rebels sustained
is unknown, ours was one man wounded.
CHARLESTOWN, May 8.
ON Monday last arrived he*e a schooner from New-York
after a paißge of 12 days.—She has brought no papers
of a later date than we had.formerly received. The matter i''-
forms that seven out ofthefket often fail ofmerchantmen which
lately failed from the Delaware under convoy of the Rebel pri
vat&r fliip Hyder Ally, have been taken and were fafely ar
rived at New-York before he left it, most of them with very
valuable cargoes ; and that numbers of prizes were daily car
rying in there.
I his day arrived here the schooner Swallow, Leteis Spiers,
ma/lcr, in nine days from New-Providence. She left that
place in company with two transports bound hither, and the
Garland frigate, which parted from them four hours after
being out of port, to give chace to a velfel which then hove
in light. "I he transports were this morningleft off our Bar.
~'l, Spiers mentions, that about five weeks ago, while he
kG'" w % at Cape-Frangois under a flag of truce, the Spa
nidi fleet failed from thence for the Havannah. The reaibn
currently given at the Cape for that proceeding, was, that
Count de Graffe being then cooped up in Martinique, they
could not form a junction in time to attack Jamaica. The
French had, at that time, no Blips of the line, either at Cape-
Francois, or Cape Nichola Mole.
1 wo days before the Swalov/ tailed from New-Providence,
a fine Philadelphia, brig, of sixteen 9 and 6 pounders, was
brought in there, by the Fer. brig Privateer, Capt. Bell, of
sixteen 4 pounders. The pr ; ze had on board, betides other
articles, a thonfand barrels of flour.
