r rTIE fubferiber's affairs demanding his appearance in London, and
JL his constitution being too mu ch broken to bear the heat of another
summer here, intends to embark for England in or before June next ;
he therefore earnestly intreats those indebted to him by bond, note,
&c. &c. to enable him to carry part, if not the whole, of their long
standing debts, to his just creditors in Europe. As what remain un
paid must be left in the hands of his attornies, to be legally collected
and remitted after him with all speed, for the general benefit of all
to whom he is indebted, he hopes all concerned will save them
selves expence and trouble, and him the real uneasiness such mea
sures would occasion He also flatters himfelf, that some persons who
for many years have kept him out of large films, and who now are very
able, will have gratitude and honour enough to pay, as they must
know his placing too credulous a confidence in them, is the chief cause
of his bad success; on their refufal, he is determined to sue in a Court
of Equity, and thereby prove the truth, or otherwise of their former
profellions of inability. SAMUEL CARNE.
