OF Mr. LUKE KIERAN, aged about 48 or 49, is a
native of Ireland—when last heard of he resided

ty years ago. Any information of him will be thank

Two Hundred Dollars ? reward.
4RSF.NTED from the plantation of James Moore,
. (one of the undersigned) on the 23d of December
last, a Negro Wench, named CELIA, and on the lltli
January following, a negro man, named JACK, both
belonging to the estate of Mrs. Martha Powell, deceas
ed. Fifty dollar’s reward will be given for the appre
hension of each or either of said negroes on delivery to
one of the subscribers and all reasonable expenses paid.
As it is believed said negroes have been inveigled or
stolen from the premises aforesaid, the further sum of
one hundred dollars will be paid for proof to Convic
tion of the offender.
Celia is about thirty-five years of age, African born,
speaks rather bad English, and in a very peculiar man
ner; but is otherwise smart and shrewd. On being
spoken to, she has the singular habit of throwing up
her head with a disdainful air. IACK, her husband,
between forty and forty-five years of age, about five
feet eight inciies high, steady’ and sedate in his man
ners, one upper tooth lost, and some country marks.—
Both of said negroes, it is believed, are branded on the
breast with the letter M.

times calls himself Peter) and Amv his wife, Mingo or
Peter is about 27 years of age, 6 feet high, heavy built,
of a dark complexion, with two of his front teeth out,
and has stout whiskers, with a very fierce expression of
the ey r es. Amy, about the same age, 5 ’ect sor 6 inches
high, ofa dark complexion, slender budt, with a lean
face. They took with tlieni a considerable quantity of
clothes. As said negroes have made several attempts
to get to get to Florida, it is probable this may now be
their intention. A liberal reward, with all reasonable
expenses, will be paid to any person who will appre
hend and deliver to the subscriber, or lodge in any safe
gaol in this state, the said negroes, or either of them.

DARIEN,,(GA.J MONDAY, OCTOBER 4, 1819.
‘Co the Printers of the United State.#,
(IF.NTLF.MEN —In presenting a list of new prices
y°l types, some explanatory remarks may be useful.
The former prices were fixed during a period in
which the raw materials were dear, and not easily
to be procured, and it is presumed that they hail
some claim to be considered, moderate, as in 1812.
l ype were more than three per cent lower in Philadel
phia than in London; and no advance was made on those
prices, durirfg the late War, although existing circum
stances woidd have justified the measure. It was con
sidered that an advance would he an actual loss to the
printers, as the competition in the printing business
had, before that period, arrived at such a point, that the
public were supplied with printing, at nearly the mini
mum; and also, that it was probable the prices of types
” ould continue some time after the return of peace] and
recompense for any advantage that was given up. This
has taken place.
For some time past, types have been lowered in val
ue, but not in price. They have been sold on long and
frequently uncertain credit, which produces, to the sel
ler all the effects of reduction qf price whilst to the prin
ter who pays it is of comparatively little benefit. All
the advantage is in favor of those who promise, but do
not perform, as in truth they get types for nothing, and
the solvent printers pay for them. Another objection
to this mode of reducing price is, that it absorbs the
seller’s funds, and, no matter how industrious or frugal
he may be, subjects him to all the inconveniences of
poverty.
Men who possess talents, economy, industry and hon
or, will sometimes lack money. The characters who
have just claims to those attributes, will rarely be at a
loss for friends, and will enter on business with a more
favorable prospect of success, when assisted by a mod
erate, than by an extended credit, which )s equally w’itli
in the reach of a rival, who, with an ardent disposition
for speculation and adventure, may have but doubtful
claims to reputation for prudence.
In older to leave no ground for complaint, it is to be
understood that all purchasers, since the first of April,
w ho comply with the new terms, will be entitled to ben
efit by the new prices.
Presuming on the long intimacy which has subsisted
between you, gentlemen, and this establishment; I re
quest you will give this an insertion in your papers.
Your’s respectfully,
JAMES RONALDSON.

PROSPECTUS.
rpiIIS work is so generally known that little need be
A said respecting®!ts character; but some gentlemen
haying desired a prospectus by which to receive ad
ditional subscriptions, a brief notice must be taken of it.
Nu.ks’ Register has been published at Baltimore
since September, 1811, and perhaps, no publication is
sues from the American press that is more generally
read. It is received in every state and territory of the
union, taken and preserved in all the great departments
of the general government, and complete sets of the
work are furnished to all the foreign ministers of the
I luted States. It is oftentimes quoted in our courts of
law, and to be found in many public libraries A num
her of eppies arc regularly transmitted to Europe,
South-America and the West-Indies.
The public documents contained in this work would
cost, if purchased separately, more than twice the a
mount that is demanded for it per annum; but so much
other matter is got into it tiiat the documents, perhaps,
do not generally occupy a third part of a volume. It is
a history of men and things, and the most extensive book
of reference ever published in any country —useful as
to the past, and agreeable and interesting for the present
and future.
Its politics arc of the old republican school—but strik
ing only at first principles, men are not regarded. The
chief purpose of all its original articles, which are nu
merous, is to raise up a national character, encourage
home industry and support other great interests of the
people. These objects are fearlessly pursued.
1 he Register has received the most flattering sanction
of a large number of the principal characters in the
United States, and a volume of approbatory letters, from
high and honorable men, might be published if it were
necessary.
TERMS, &.c.
Niles’ Register is published at Haltimore every Satur
day, and immediately transmitted, being 1 securely pack
ed, to any post-office in the union; or, if preferred, it
wiil be delivered in volumes.
The price is five dollars a year, payable always in ad
vance.
Numbers lost or damaged in the mail (which does not
often happen) are gratuitously supplied, the application
therefor being made without expense to the editor, that
gentlemen n.ay preserve their files complete.
The volumes commence in March and September in
every year -being two volumes in a year; each of which
is furnished with a title page and index.
Files from the beginning may be had as follows;
For the 15 vols. or 7\ years, from Sept. 1811,
to March, 1819, at §5 per annum; 37 50

cost of the purchaser and risk of the editor, —if bound,
they cannot be so sent, but will be shipped for most of
our principal sea ports, at the cost of the editoi-, but at
the risk ot the purchaser. Files are said only for cash.
Subscribers may begin at what period they please, but
it is recommended, (so that they may have a complete
work while they receive it,) that they shoxxldcommence
with a volume.
The safe carriage of money remitted by mail is- guar
