SHIP NEWS.

SAVANNAH. Jan. S1.-The American brig Co
met. Staples, master, from Alexandria, ID. e..
bound TO New Orleans, was wrecked on Abaco,
i'm the night of the Cd instant. This vessel had
on board l6I slaves, who were going to louisa
ma. and who, together with several other passen-
gers. have been saved from the wreck and arrived
at Nassau previous to the 18th. Under the idea
that there would be no difficulty in taking away
persons who had been shipwrecked. and allowing
them to proceed to their own country, the Agent
purchased large vessel for the purpose, which
was ready for their immediate accommodation;
but on application at the Custom House for per-
mission to tranship them. this was refused, and
thew had to remain. crowded in the little vessels
that brought them from Abaco, during which
number of them ESCAPED to the shore. A good
deal of excitement was created among the lnha-
bitants, for fear these negroes would be let loose
in the colony. On the 1Sth, the Speaker OF the
House of Assembly. in his robes, followed by the
members. waited on the Governor with an adj
dress, praying that the slaves might not he de-
tanned from their owners. and particularly that
50 large body of so dangerous class of negroes
MIGHT not at once be thrown in a state of newly
acquired freedom upon the country, and that the
people might be relieved from the general panic
existing. for fear OF their manumission. The Go
vernon. in his reply, said:
"W hat further measures 1t may be judged
advisable to take with respect to the American
Slaves lateE, brought into this port by three of
our wreckmg vessels, must depend upon the OPT
MON of the Law Officers of the Crown, founded
upon the evidence which will be laid before them
am confident you will not ask, nor expect OF
me to act, in so important matter, otherwise
than with all the circumspectisn the case appears
to me to require.
Whatever may be the opinion Of the Crown
Lawyers, or whatever may be the decision OF the
tribunal TO which the question concerning these
slaves may ultimately be referred. the House
NAV depend upon my unceaslng efforts for the
preservation of the public tranquility
Our latest paper is of the 18th, which says:-
:. The American Negroes lately wrecked on A
baco. are now under SEIZURE in the Court Of Vice
Admiralty, having been taken out of tho wreck
ing vessels that brought them to port. and remov-
ed on Saturday afternoon to Hog Island. oppo-
site the town. where, we presume, they are ex-
pected to remain until their case is decided on in
the Court"
