td ROSE, or MILLY, about 20 years of age, Aim made,
about 5 feet 4 or 5 inches high, of a dark complexion,

clothes with her, amongst them a yellow ground calico
wrapper and coat, with a pink colored (ilk bonnet; the
was lately purchased from Mrs. Sarah How-ley, of Sun
bury, to which place probably she may attempt to get, or
to Augufia, as Ihe had a husband in one of the Augufla
flats, and was seen lurking about them the night Ihe went
off. A reward of 10 dollars will be paid, with all rea
sonable charges, for her. delivery in Savannah gaol, and
50 dollars to whoever will prove to conviction her being
carried off or harbored.

TO THE PUBLIC.
IT has been my unhappy lot to be convicted by a jury
of my country of the crime of petty larcency, and 1
fliull, in the coilrle of a day or two, be brought to the bar
of the Superior Court to receive the sentence of the law
annexed to that offence. ’
Ear be it from me to utter a word of complaint again!!
tilt verdict of the jury; on the contrary, 1 thank them
for their clemency; I thank them for my life a life,
however, which misery and affliction render of little con
sequence.
Mv'motive for addrifling the public now is, humbly
to bdeecli that resentments may no longer harass me,
where ignominy and conviction have affixed to me a fuf-
Xicient punifbment, though my offences had been fourfold.
Not by a fmgle action of niv life ffiall the country ever
have to lament again that it has reffored me to focicty,
and to my wife and children.
I harbor no resentments again ft my profecators; I wifli
for their happinds; and all I can expect or hope from
them is, that, as they have dilcharged tlitir duty as citi
zens, they vriil pity as men.

LONDON, March .3.
IORD Nelfori is to have the chief commahd of our fleet
in the Weft Indies. The Medusa frigate, capt.
Gore, is preparing at Pqrtfmouth to take out his tordfhip,
who will proceed to his deflination with ail poflible dis- -
patch.
By referring to the proceedings of the house of com
mons in this day’s paper our readers will find that fume ob
servations have fallen from the chancellor of the exchequer
which at the present moment cannot fail to be regarded as
highly important. If we may be allowed to interpret his
words we fliould be inclined to confider them as decisively
contradictory of the report which has prevailed of a rupture
of the negotiations at Amiens. The right lion, gentleman
Bated, that, although his majesty’s ministers were refolvcd
to be prepared for either alternative, yet that “ war was
not the alternative they anticipated.” After the reports
that have been circulated this language will doubtless af
ford much ccnfolation to the public. We cannot, howe
ver, overlook anther obfervatipn made by the right hon.
gentleman,,which was, that his malefty's ministers were
disposed to take every Rep “ to restore peace to. the country
on terms confißcnt with the preliminary treaty.” Perhaps
fome may be inclined to ‘think that this expreflion has been
iuggefted in confequer.ee of demands, incouii Rent with that
treaty, which the enemy is laid to have made; for, if the
French government had been- animated by the lame deiire
of adhering faithfully to the.terms of the preliminaries,
it muft.be obvious that we ffiould before now have enjoyed
ail the blessings that may be expected from a Bate of peace.
A conference was yesterday held between lord Bavhcf
hury and M. Otto; the result it is difficult to afeertain,
. but we are convinced that it related to the definitive trea
ty. All cur accounts from'Paris, and other places on the
continent, agree, that couriers are continually puffing to
and fro in every direction. Scarcely a day Naples but
one or more are difpatche.i from Amiens to Paris, and e
very tiling demonfrrates that the negotiation is drawing
rapidly to a couch,lion. It was one- da) reported at Ami
cus that marquis Corn wall is was determined to let off next
morning for London, and this rumor, unfounded as it was,
caused a great sensation in that city. The court of Bei lin
certainly co-opciates veiy closely with France, and that of
Spain is nicely at her difpof.tl. The indemnity to the
prince of Orange will, it is now pretty well afeertained,
be that preferibed by the treaty of Bafle. The hereditary
prince* being Bill at Paris, and much at the Thuilleries,
gives rife to conjectures that he is to be placed at the head
of the Batavian Republic* We are however of a very
different opinion.
Difficult as it is to penetrate through that veil of obfciir
ity which now conceals the public affairs of Europe, we
think it by •? means inipoffible to develop the probable
confequencc of the gliding negotiations. The vigor dif
pla\ed by ministers in the;*: preparations is weil calculated
to enforce the fvgning of the cltffiffitive treaty. They can
not for. this permit commerce to be TTuidcd. Will they
for this run the nation deeper and deeper into debt? It
cannot be. Had they cob tinned the* blade peace’ had long
ere now been ligned; and signed it muff, if Bommartc
wiflies to fee one French ship enter again the ports of the
republic. Be fide she cannot but know that the public mind
is no longer with him. He is. not now in the field of glo
ry conquering the enemies of that country he pretended to
love, and whose vofeeT.e was'bound to obey. He has sa
crilegiously trampled'her rights beneath Lis feet, lie has
annulled her laws, and es*c&ed himffclf in the place of both.
Those men, therefore',’ who once fought tinder his banner
with almoff frantic enthusiasm, who were told that they
were fighting fpc.themfelves, their children, lor their coun
try? will no longer feel the inspiring glow; they will,, called
upon, have to fight for none of tilde; they will have to
fight for the pride, and the arrogance, and the ambition of
the firff co.nful.
March 15. We received on Saturday Paris journals
to the 10th instant, which are as barren of important in
formation as any which have arrived for mouths pass. Ex
tradts from, the Englifli papers refpe&ing our late arma
ments appear in several of the French prints without the
smallest comment. The official communication to the house”
ot Auffria, oi Bonaparte’s aflumption of the Presidency of
the New Italian republic, caused lately a very furious fen
lation in \ iciina. A council was held on this intert Ring
affau*, and meflengers were immediately dispatched to Ber
lin, Peterfbtirgh, and Loudon, with the result of the de
liberation. Ihe Paris papers do not contain the moR re
