This runaway has a fallen countenance, with an old fore leg, a sensible, artful, daring fellow, who has his connexions on my plantation, Skidaway Island. From circumstances, it appears he is concerned with a gang of fellows, who idle about the wharves, and in fi(Ring boats, and participates in their plun der. It is apprehended he will endeavor to leave the (late, and entice others awav. % All Matters of vessels are cautioned against harboring the above runaway, or taking him off, the offence being a felony. 1 he above reward will be paid, either for securing the fellow-, or on due proof and conviction of any person, white or black, w-ho conceals, or at times may harbor him.

Perhaps those turbulent refllefs spirits, of whom France can furnifh millions, and who, from their habits of life, are much more likely to become rapacious plundering fcldicrs, than all at once honed, induflrious, peaceable farmers, will, when they arrive at Louisiana, look towards the north as well as the foutb; then farewell, farewell the liberty, peace, prospe rity, UNION, AND INDEPENDENCE, OF THE UNITED STATES, ye are gone for ever! and with you the liberty of the world; tor, persecuted and driven out of Europe, no where does the heaven-born geddefs find an asylum at this rnoment but in North America, and even there I o’c forve that Hcenticufnefs is rapidly picparinga tomb for her, To judge from the gazettes of the United States, we think in Europe that you are cn the eve of a civil war; f r the virulence of faction is carried to such an extreme with you that party diftir.Utions appear to have fivallowed up all re gard for moral worth, poisoned the very vitals of social in terccurie, and to have left in your bosoms no friendly or even neutral feelings for those who differ from you in po litical sentiments.” May 29.
