Burlington, August 4, 1779.
q'HE general proprietors of West-Jersey having
I received information, that sundry lands and real
estates, which, b^ the late settlement of the line be
tween New-York and New-Jersey, and found to lye
within the division of Wcll-Jerfcy, but have been
located under East-Jersey rights only, are likely to
be confifeated, and fold as the estates of sundry re
fugees who have joined the army of the king of Great
Britain. The West-Jersey proprietors therefore, at
a meeting holden at Burlington, on the 3d and 4th
instant, having taken the fame into their serious con
fidcration, and it appearing unto them clearly, that
no person whatsoever can have derived any title to
lands lying within West-Jersey, under East-Jersey
rights, located since the year 1718; and being de
sirous, as far as in them lies, to prevent any misap
prehension refpe&ing the title to the said lands, do
hereby give notice, that all the lands lying to the
westward of the true line of division, between East
and West-Jersey, that is to fay, within the angle
formed by the ex parte line run by John Lawrence,
and the place where the true line will run from the
mouth of Mickhockamuck to the station point at
Little Eggharbour, which have been located under
East-Jersey rights, and not since covered by Weft-
Jersey rights, are claimed by them, (the western
proprietors) and that they will be under the disagree
able necessity of instituting suits at law against all and
every person, who now does and hereafter may claim
title to, and hold the possession of the said lands, or
any part thereof, by virtue of a title derived under
East-Jersey. By order of the general proprietors,
gw. , DANIEL ELLIS, Register.
^rHE tract of land known by the name of Douglass
l Tra&, on the river Delaware, joining to Lam
berton, and the Old Ferry Trad, containing about
igoacres, with the houses and improvements, (as it
is generally so well known, little more need be said.)
It may be laid out in lots on the river, so as to make
it very convenient for trade and water business. The
whole will be fold together, or any number of pur
chasers may have it divided into lots, that may suit
them, provided they agree to purchase the whole, or
one lot will be laid out next to Lamberton, of 15 or
20 acres, and fold exclusive of the rest.
For terms apply to Mr. Hugh Runion at the Ferry,
or to Randle Mitchell, at his farm at Bowhiil, who
are empowered to treat for the fame. jw.

STRAYED from the encampment at New Windsor,
on the evening of the gift of July lad, one horse
and two mares ; the horse is a sorrel chefnut, with a
star in his forehead, and one white hind foot, about
14 hands 3 inches high, trots and canters well, and
has a good carriage; one of the mares is a light bay,
slender made; thin in flefh, trots and canters well,
has been nicked, and carries her tail a little on one
fide, about 14 and an half hands high ; the other mare
is a dark bay, black mane and tail, about 14 hands
3 inches high, trots and canters well, has a star in

RAN AWAY from the schooner Kitty, Captain
John Bryan, 011 Saturday the 15th Of April last,
a Negro Man named WATT, about 5 feet 9 or 10
inches high ; he is a likely draight well made fellow,
remarkably black, and has a bold daring countenance:
He formerly belonged to the estate of the deceased
Mr. George Maxwell, and was then under the ma
nagement of Mr. Samuel Nicholls, cf whom I bought
him; he is an artful, cunning, plausible villain, and
will make use of every specious and fair tale to in
duce belief of his being a freeman ; he is rather thin
visaged, and perhaps one of the blackest Negroes in
the world. I can't well describe the apparel he run
offin, he had a blue jacket and breeches of coarse
French cloth, ihoes, dockings and a hat, all ofwhich
he took with him : He run off from the schooner
while she lay at Wells's ware-house, and a few days
after his going off, he was seen in the neighbourhood
of Mr. Isaac Spencer, in Kent county. The rascal
made an untimely effort to get on board the British
fleet when they were up Chefapeak Bay; I am in
duced to believe that he has the like object in view,
and that the villain has either made for the Delaware
Bay or the Jerfies, or that he designs it. I will give
Seventy-five Pounds for securing him, if taken in this
date; if taken cut of it, the above reward, and
reasonable charges if brought home.

apply to William Pollard, of Philadelphia.
